We frequently ask students to study a country or culture in school. Remember that countries are made up of diverse individuals. The video below was made by a group of American seminary students studying in the Phillipines. They were asked to define American culture and gather information about what Americans and non-Americans think American culture is. The video illustrates the point that American culture is different things to different Americans. Remember that when you study another country, this is probably also true about the country you are studying. While you're viewing, check out the examples of economic Globalization in the mall!
