Question 47 – How do you portray different cultures in your writing?

Clearly, I do a lot of work on cultures in my world, with one reasonably-constructed language (and its dialects) and four more that I reference in bits and pieces, plus extensive geographic and demographic info (which I need to update) and several thousand years of history.  But all this work is to no avail if I’ve done it badly.  I think I’ve weeded out most of the teenage misconceptions that peppered the older versions of the world, but it’s a constant process of improvement.
