Photographic series exploring cultural contrasts

Stunning. Though I think that they are overly staged (and a bit assupmtive) the impact is still vivid.

very cliché

Interesting photos...though I did find some to be a bit depressing and some a bit disturbing :laugh:

some different cultural contrasts
The Lewis Model explains every culture in the world
"By focusing on the cultural roots of national behavior, both in society and business, we can foresee and calculate with a surprising degree of accuracy how others will react to our plans for them, and we can make certain assumptions as to how they will approach us," Lewis writes.

The photos were interesting but I found them to be a display of cultural stereotypes rather than general cultural difference. The further down the photos you get the more extreme the opposites.

I do wonder, maybe that was the point?

Stereotypes are what most people work with. Braking out of one requires experience with the reality. Has anyone here met and bonded over the long term with one of every picture shown?
