How we see other cultures Track 2

My neighbour recently came back from holiday. I guess he was in Australia – he’s wearing
one of those bush hats with corks around it everywhere he goes. I’m curious about why
we identify places by things like hats. I mean, baseball caps are certainly popular in the
United States, but I’m looking out of my window (I live in central London) and nobody is
wearing a bowler hat. And you don’t see many Mexicans with sombreros or Vietnamese
with straw hats in everyday life either.
The question is, why do we think about other national groups in this way? According to
psychologists, it’s because people put the things they meet in the world into groups. We
do this for several reasons. First, it means that our brain doesn’t work so hard because it
doesn’t need to analyse every new individual thing that we meet. Another reason is that
when we understand (or think we understand) something, we can make predictions about
it – we know what kind of behaviour to expect. Finally, it seems that we all love to feel
good about ourselves and the group we belong to. This is easier when we put others into
groups too.
So is it a good thing or a bad thing to have these general opinions? Perhaps the first and
more important question is to ask ourselves if the things we believe about other groups
are actually true. And in the case of hats, I don’t think it is!

We are in the middle of worldwide changes in culture. Popular culture is crossing

from one country to another in ways we have never seen before. Let me give you
some examples. One day, I’m sitting in a coffee shop in London having a cup of
Italian espresso served by an Algerian waiter, listening to American music playing
in the background. A few days later, I’m walking down a street in Mexico – I’m
eating Japanese food and listening to the music of a Filipino band. In Japan, many
people love flamenco. Meanwhile, in Europe, Japanese food is the latest in-thing.
European girls decorate their hands with henna tattoos. It’s the globalization of
culture.

Track 5

This globalization of culture follows on from the globalization of business.

Modern industry now has a worldwide market. Businesses make their
products in one country and sell them in another. Companies employ people
on one continent to answer telephone enquiries from customers on a
different continent. It’s true that buying and selling goods in different
countries is not new. But nowadays, everything happens faster and travels
further. In the past, there were camel trains, ships and railways. Then planes,
telephones and television brought us closer together. Television had fifty
million users after thirteen years, but the internet had the same number after
only five years. Today the internet can connect us all in real time as together
we watch the same news story as it happens, anywhere in the world.

Track 5

How do people feel about globalization? It depends on where they live and
how much money they have. Not everyone is happy about globalization.
More than a fifth of all the people in the world now speak some English.
Some people believe that there is a kind of ‘cultural attack’ from the English
language, social media, and McDonald’s and Starbucks. But I have a more
positive view. I think that cultures are strong and countries don’t need to lose
their national identity. In India, there are more than four hundred languages
and several different religions – and McDonald’s serves mutton instead of
beef and offers a vegetarian menu. In Shanghai, the television show Sesame
Street teaches Chinese values and traditions. As one Chinese teacher said,
‘We’ve got an American box with Chinese content in it.’

But there is one thing that is certain – globalization is here to stay. And if that
means we’ll understand each other better, that’s a good thing.

 Videoscript Faces of India
Part 1
0.01–0.19 Steve McCurry My name is Steve McCurry. I’m a photographer. I started my photography
career in college. When I got out of school, the first job that came along was working on a
newspaper. But my real ambition was to find a profession in photography which would allow me to
travel and see the world.
0.20–0.28 I’ve been working almost continually for National Geographic for thirty years.

Part 2
0.29–0.33 Steve McCurry There’s no place in the world that has the depth of culture like India.
0.34–0.52 Narrator For National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry, India is one of his
favourite subjects – full of colour and culture … including some remote villages. Rajasthan is a large
Indian state north of Mumbai on the Pakistan border … home to some nomadic shepherds.
0.53–1.12 Steve McCurry It’s really like going to another planet … the landscape, the way people
dress, their traditions, their religion, the music, the food, almost everything about it is kind of strange
and also very wonderful. The people are very gentle and hospitable, so I feel very comfortable in
Rajasthan, I feel, uh, at home.
1.13–1.25 Narrator Once the big excitement of Steve’s visit calms down a bit, he is able to walk
through the streets and meet the villagers.

Videoscript Faces of India
1.26–1.46 Steve McCurry The people here are very interesting and very visual. Some of the nomads
are entertainers – snake charmers that tell stories, the fortune tellers – so that’s their job, to amuse
people, but now they’re having to find new ways to make a living.
1.47–2.11 I think I’m naturally a shy person, and my first choice is not really to go up and kind of
confront people and talk to people and ask people if I can take their picture. But it’s something that I
have to do and once I kind of get warmed up – once I, kind of, the wheels start to move, then it
becomes very natural and I’m very happy and I’m very interested in meeting people and talking to
villagers.
2.13–2.27 OK, one, two … OK, great, perfect. Tell him I want him to come to New York. I could be his
agent – he tells fortunes, he does magic tricks, he’s a snake charmer. I think we could …
2.29–2.58 I think it’s the whole face that tells the story. It’s not just the eyes or the other features. I
think it’s the totality of the particular look. Somehow it all kind of works together to tell a story. It’s
not one particular feature – it’s all of them working together. That’s it – perfect.
