“ When you don’t ask questions there are misunderstanding”
Sometimes, we reluctant to ask people with some reasons such as a shyness or a modesty. Ignorances are not guilty, however, it often brings misunderstandings. Then it is transformed unexpected results. Especially, between person to person it become more severe.
Pretending to know even we know anything, that is a problem.
That brings us prejudices, and the hard tanned-sunglasses make us cannot see clearly each other anymore.
In the article “We Get Along by Not Getting Along”, there is an example of a dichotomic logic. There are two groups of people, blacks and jews. They are cautious each other with their own thoughts. A black interviewee said, “Jews think they’re superior.” and a jewish said, “ Most blacks are good, but some of them make trouble.” Well, I think these kind of people exist any society, however, prejudices and misunderstandings brought them wrong thoughts. It is not a fact but just an assumption.
Misunderstandings are less than ignorances. We should to try ask people when we can’t understand. Communication is required for it and we should to realize that somtimes, too much modesty can kill our neighbors.

Pretending to know everything is much worse than ignorance
It's dangerous to draw to a conclusion when we know a little about something. To people of other races, it's the same. Misunderstanding always comes along with ignorance. "Pretend to know even when we know nothing, that's the problem." (Revised version. I think this is what you really want to say.)
Language:
1. shyness, modest, ignorance, misunderstanding, here are all abstract nouns. No plural form.
2. "They are cautious each other with their own thoughts" --> They keep cautious to each other ...
3. modesty is an adj.
