Cultural Horizons of Wisconsin | Everywhere, Everyone

This program introduces the concept of culture and gives examples of the range of cultures that exist. The best way to learn about a particular culture is to spend time with a person from that culture. This point is illustrated in a segment featuring Miguel, a Brazilian exchange student living with a host family in the United States. Family culture doesn't depend on where people live, it involves doing things together and sharing family traditions; this concept is driven home by a mother with three children, all of whom live in a shelter for homeless people. A segment featuring two African-American women who belong to a troupe of hearing-impaired dancers shows that they belong to three cultural groups: the dance culture, the deaf culture, and the African-American culture. Members of a girls basketball league in Milwaukee discuss the values inherent to their sports team culture, including working together, sharing experiences, hard work and dedication, and sportsmanship.
