(copied from http://www.wolvo.net/gallery/v/Mumbai+Slum+Dwellers_001/)It would be very easy for me to think that my American way of life is better than living in the slums of India. However, I had to put my biases aside. I learned that there are many people who live in the slums who do not desire a higher standard of living. They are quite content to remain in the slums. I need to remember that their choice is not for me to judge.

I also had to realize that people raise their children in various ways from one culture to the next. Something that I might consider unsafe or to be poor practice cannot hinder my research. Again, it is not my place to judge the practices of these people, only to observe and report.
