Summary
Culture is like eye color. Your eye color is obvious to anyone who sees you, but you cannot see the color of your own eyes without some kind of reflection. Everybody's Ethnic helps viewers hold a mirror to their own culture. Discover yourself by exploring other cultures. Travel by video to Mexico for a Day of the Dead celebration, witness a funeral in Bali, explore food in Hong Kong, and see street life in New Delhi to learn about our "invisible" culture. Show viewers that much of what they consider " natural" is really cultural. Learn:. . When you meet a friend do you shake hands or hold hands? - Are pets kept in home and yards or do they mingle with urban life? - Is dance "do your own thing" or culturally learned behavior? - Swimsuits and beaches- simply natural or culturally learned? - Do you run from a snake or play with it? - Is art something everyone does or is it highly gifted individuals. - Eating in public and bathing in private. Could the two be reversed? - Is a smile a universal message or culturally determined?
