Two Examples of Cross-Cultural Exposure in Relation to Multicultural Awareness, Self-Identity and Stereotypes
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing cross-cultural awareness through interviews and cinema. A review of an interview with South African Mark Mathabane and a review of the Spanish film “Talk to Her” by Pedro Almodovar allow readers to appreciate cross-cultural aspects which also help to broaden and define a person’s self-identity and approach to individuals of other cultural groups. Mathabane describes his perceptions of the similarities and differences between racial relations in South Africa and the U.S. which provides insight for readers in their own assessment of individuals from other cultural groups. Almodovar’s film, on the other hand, provides an inside glimpse into contemporary Spanish life and how some traditional stereotypes are maintained while others have been replaced through modern life.
