Good start Sung! You included some important factors contributing to intercultural 
differences and biases. However, you needed to include more detail and explanation 
to make your response stronger. Be sure to include references where needed, Step 1
in this case, to relate to the course content. For step 2, you pointed out some 
very relevant assumption made through cultural biases. Including more detail to 
your response would of the methods to avoid these biases would have made your
answers more wholesome.

Great start Sung! You included some interesting aspects of your family values which
needed to be elaborated upn in Part 1 of your response. You included a good example 
for Question 3 in part 1 but more detail was required to receive full marks. 
For part 2, you included some relevant ideas and concepts but a stronger explanation 
and connection to the course content was required. Also you did not mention which two 
questions you were answering to.

Future Updates in mind

• Implement another command to download files every 12 hours (time can be configurable)
• Implement another command to export Learn calendar to a .ics file.
