Culture

            The video which we saw in the class was related to a kind of problem which occurs which all of us. In a university people belonging from different countries study. All of them have different cultural background some are Asians some are Americans. People belonging form different cultures have different thinking.
             In the video we saw how misunderstanding occurs between student belonging form different cultures. Four students were assigned a project on dinosaurs which they have to finish in about five weeks. Two of the students were Asians and two were Americans the Asians student made a group of two and the two American students made a group. It was also possible to make a group of four or two consisting of one Asian and one American student but they dint do that because it a human nature that every one like to work with someone belonging from their culture. Both of the groups has to show their progress after two weeks on the day of meeting the Asian students showed the work they did in two weeks but the American students did not show any of their progress. They said that they will do it.
             The Asian student they thought that they will not do anything so they did their part of work also just to help them but on the final meeting before the project the American students did their part of work some how and build a model . When the Asian students showed the model which they build for them the American students get mad they thought that the Asian students did their part of work to show that they are more intelligent and American students are not hard working. But the Asian students actually tried to help them and they took this in a wrong sense. As a result the Asian students thought that the America students are very rude because of this misunderstanding .and the American students thought that the Asian thinks that they are the only one who work hard and are intelligent.
             The both groups decided to not to work with each other again in future.
