Cultural Differences…

August 13, 2011 - Culture, Global Learning

Thanks to Alec Couros, I found this video titled Cultural Differences by National Geographic. I think it is an incredible example of how “real” cultural differences can be. It could be a wonderful introduction for someone who has never experienced another country, culture and people to “at least” become AWARE that their own culture might be perceived VERY different (even incomprehensible) by someone else. Even if you take only 5 minutes of your time to watch the first segment that shows a group of “Lost Boys from Sudan” and their flight to the USA and their first days/weeks in the country, it will be worth your time!

This is an interesting video but I thought there would be more. Is there a second part to this?

  If you click the “More videos” link you will be taken to the National Geographic page. Type in “Lost Boys” and more videos show their journey in the USA.

I found this video to be very interesting for the short time it viewed. I do intend to view more of it right after writing this comment. I think that people worldwide should have some insight into how others live. Survival is our main goal in life, and some people, like these young Sudanese men, really have to fight for theirs’.
