Thanks very much. It's not perfect though. Make sure you challenge it, and find out what is real for you.

yea interesting i like the last one image this grand mother with attitude fingers like gangsta

it is so easy to 'brouiller les pistes ' of your origin when you take other ' social codes '

everyone should try it , so much laugh , when we do it .

some people think with their habits:

and think we are form different countries .

i like to play with narrow minded people

that really cant get out their small minds ..

I'm having difficulty listening to this because my computer is really terrible at streaming. Have you created an aricle or blog about these ideas?

Very thought provoking, I am planning to present to a cultural diversity class to promote discussion.

I've enjoyed the questions you pose. However, I would welcome your observations on the issue of culture with respect to either it's perceived western dominance under global capitalism; or do you perceive the organic aspect of culture to be resilient, combative, or adaptive to global capitalism? With respect to steering culture, what are your criteria for quality within this suggestion? Thanks for your video.
