Cultural Differences
We will watch a bit of the movie "God Grew Tired of Us."   Anyway, in the movie we see numerous cultural differences. video Here is a website dedicated to the Lost Boys of Sudan in Chicago.
To speak about culture in a more measured way, think in terms of the way sociologists might break down culture. Culture is made up of material culture as well as the nonmaterial: gestures, language, norms, values. Did you see aspects of these cultural components in the movie? Have you ever met anyone from a different country? Did you notice or discuss any cultural differences? What component of culture (from the terms above) did those differences fall under? What are your overall reactions to what you watched?
