Students grapple with various issues arising from cultures different from their own.
This video demonstrates that much human behavior is cultural - how people line up to wait, how they use ice in drinks, cross their legs, use their eyes, eat certain foods at specific times of day, how they view appointments and time, and even how they define honesty. They learn that some cultures elevate the individual and others place the group at the pinnacle of importance. Chili isn't Mexican, you won't find chop suey in China, and spaghetti and meatballs is uniquely American. This much needed video examines perceived cultural differences that often spark mutual conflict and mistrust. We often feel comfortable with people like ourselves and awkward when dealing with those who are different.
