Blindsight
What types of cultural diversity are present in the movie?
There are different types of culture in the movie such as the German woman who set up a school for the blind in Tibet, Eric who is Christian from America, and the blind man who volunteered to guide blind children to climb up Everest. The traditional Tibetan defined the blindness as a form of divine punishment for sins committed in a previous life or incarnation. On the other hand, we see the western desire to overcome disability, to achieve, to get to the top.
What are some of the challenges people in the movie encounter?
They face many problems during their trip. The first challenge is that they face the blindness. The second problem is that they face the lack of oxygen at high altitude. Also, they have to climb the world's highest mountain. The last thing is that all of them have a different problem with their families and they are missing them during the trip.
What are some examples of stereotyping, prejudice, bias and/or discrimination in the video?
Tashi finds it difficult to be accepted by the others because he is a street kid. Also, the boy who was sent away to live with a Chinese couple and he was beaten by them when he failed to beg enough money, or when the money was stolen from him.
What challenges do people face as a result of personality rather than culture?
People are beating blind beggars when they fail to beg enough money like the Chinese couple and the boy.
What benefits are there for the people in the movie as a result of their differing cultures?
They gained a lot of useful things from the trip. The advantages are that they became more confident with themselves; got a place in a language school; the Tibetan girl and they felt better about their ability to live, to achieve and to learn.
