Growing Up in a Multicultural Society

Societies are becoming homogenous; but why the timeless wait for some individuals - those who continue to label others differently? "Growing Up" is about Tehwor and Mundah - in search of whom to trust: a companion to play and share the grandeurs of life, along the paths of this constantly changing and fast paced world of modern lifestyle-in making the growing up process become fun."In disasters, wars, and the ambulance or with the police - I did not ask to be born; so, why be caught amidst the here... and there..., black or white chaos of this multicultural world?"The breakthrough for Tehwor and Mundah require a leap to change the status quo. Ordinarily, both are cautious of not shying away from traditional norms, but would also want to play active roles in history. It is one thing knowing about Africans but different to being an African wo+man!

Reckoning the barriers in communicating the different cultural experiences, it is best imagining the intent of the dialogue - written in deductive narration between companions, rather than an epilogue.
