Chapter 12: Writing originated in Sumer in 3000 BC, Mesoamerica in 600 BC and China in 1300 BC. The spread of writing did so by the copying of a writing system or the idea lead to the creation of a new one. Diffusion of writing from Sumer to Europe and from China to other parts of Asia was faster and faced less challenges. Writing failed to spread as quickly from Sumer to Africa because they were separated from each other by the Saharan Desert.

The communication technology of writing is thought to have emerged in Sumer, southern Mesopotamia, from 3500 -3000 BCE. This form of writing was Cuneiform, which consists of making specific marks in clay with a reed tool. Cuneiform was invented due to the long distance communication needed for trade. Meanwhile, the writing system of the Egyptians, or Hieroglyphics, was in use before 3150 BCE. Although disputed, hieroglyphics are thought to be based on cuneiform. Therefore, cuneiform is the first written language that we know.

The country of Vietnam is shaped like an S and borders China, Laos and Cambodia. It’s beautiful tropical landscape is formed by rolling hills, mountains, valleys, waterfalls, rainforests and beaches.

Indians are the group of people who receive a lot of stereotypes in Thailand. Ranging from public places like shopping centers, parties house, hall way, to university campus, we can notice that many Thai people try to avoid staying close to or interact with Indians. One of the stereotype Thai people have toward Indians include viewing Indians as a snake charmer, which give images of ancient and exotic group of people. There is a famous joke in Thai circles that, "If a snake and an Indian come after to attack you, you should hit the Indian first, then snake." This reflects that some Thais view Indian as more tricky and dangerous than a snake. Another reason why Thai people like to think of Indian people negatively is due to the not so good reputation of their county, India. Many still view India as a country full of poverty and chaos. Some Thai even get into thinking that Indians are from another world with different culture, and mind set, thus, are not acceptable and tend to isolate them from Thai sociality. In my own experience, there was a day when I was trying to get a cab to home, it was a long line of people waiting for a cab, and there were two passengers standing at the head of the line, one was Thai and another is an Indian person.

The second passage on the line, who is an Indian woman she was

One might say Thais are too shy to speak another language because it’s not their native language while others say Thais are just afraid of foreigners. (Plaiilek, 2011). This might stem from the fact that Thais are commonly taught that Westerners or people from other countries are a different kind of people, which creates a huge barrier toward private contacts (Klinchang, 2009). Thais often call foreigners “Farang”. (Dalgado, 1919) Thais call dark skin people from other countries as “Kaak” especially Indians and “Jek” for Chinese guys which means strangers. (Sujit Wongthes,

I’m originally Thai. Most Thai people do not have much opportunity to stay abroad. Luckily, I have had a chance to live in numerous countries, such as the Netherlands, Germany, Japan and the United States.
