  • Whether or not there are any problems with this presentation depends on the intended audience, and the intended purpose of the presentation. It is certainly US centric - for example, using 'other cultures' all the way through - but if it is for a US audience, that is ok.

    Main issue is that it presents an idealised view of US. Taking the UK media as an example - our coverage of China lacks accuracy, but we like to believe our media are fair and free. This apparent hypocrisy by us annoys others.

  • @shatov72 Thanx 4 your comments.

  • what is that song at 3:55.. sounds so familiar..

  • @Arrinmurri Where in the slides did I say the "US mainstream" is superior to "some societies"? It's all in your prejudgment and imagination. Just *not* in the slides. You got it all wrong.

  • @reyty2 How about this whole comparison of "US mainstream" with the elusive "some societies"? How does that serve the purpose of learning, if you can't even bother to mention what are you comparing US to?

    Not to mention that most of them (say, everything between 01:15 and 02:01) basically touts how superior this "US mainstream" is to "some societies".

    The "sun people vs. ice people" thingy in the beginning was pure rubbish, too.

  • @Spets25 you have obviously never been to the US

  • @Spets25 Please specify which slide is "horribly biased and inaccurate."

  • @Spets25 Please explain which specific sentence is biased? Which slide/s?

  • @Spets25 I have lived in three continents: Western Europe, North America, & Asia. I have been to Abu Dhabi, Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Monaco, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand & too many other countries to mention. And you?

  • @reyty2 enough of "please explain"! For god sakes man read a book. Watch a documentary.

    05:52 - really?! Mainstream US is nothing but jokes about ass and farts.
