How Culture Drives Behaviours | Julien S. Bourrelle | TEDxTrondheim

Julien argues how we see the World through cultural glasses. By changing the glasses you can change the way you interpret the World.
Julien is the founder of Mondå, a project that helps Norwegians benefit from cultural diversity while supporting talented foreigners in their efforts to adapt and connect with Norway. He is educated as an astronautical engineer and is currently completing a doctoral degree in Norway. He is originally from Canada and speaks English, Norwegian, French and Spanish. He has been active in higher education policy at the European level, at the national level in Norway and locally at different institutions. He became the first foreign board member of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Other positions include the Norwegian national research committee (UHR), the board of the national Norwegian doctoral organisation and the presidency of NTNU’s doctoral organisation.

Sometimes the end does not justify the means. Discrimination is discrimination regardless of the term used to to justify it. People have a misunderstanding of equality.

[@Tomoki-K]

Great lecture! Thank you, Julien. I find this idea very interesting. It's something that I've often overlooked when encountering cultural differences. We all see the world through our own cultural perspective, which can lead to misunderstandings. Recently, I have been learning tips to apply cultural anthropology to businesses. I could receive a lot of tips from this great lecture!

I believe that culture is so often confused with 'racism' and we are behaving not out of dislike for another race, but simply as a result of our cultural programming....making us feel uncomfortable with different behaviours. When not understood much tension arises.

[@laurenbeals5519]

Melody Tomlinson you explained it perfectly. It’s the barrier of miscommunication that causes the initial frustration, and the feeling of helplessness that raises this tension. However, it is the decision following, the decision to continue the effort in breaking down that barrier or deciding stepping out of your comfort zone and making the effort to understand and be understood isn’t worth it. It’s the effort to find the courage to both embrace and abandon ignorance and step into another’s shoes. That was a lot haha and I don’t know if I even found the right words but I tried!

[@Spawn223311]

Sadly culture is the spread of all things we learn and teach between ourselves, be it negative or positive. So racism can be a part of a culture if it is common enough to be considered as such. The problem lies when people take their current believes/culture to be absolute so they prevent themselves from evolving, mentally seeing ahead or learn new things for the betterment of their people, or what it is known as ignorance.

[@jameshenrysmith]

[@user-sc9ru1vr2l]

I think it is an interesting insight. It was what I had sometimes missed when I see differences. We all have our own cultural glasses differed from another culture. However, the important thing is that we should try not to have prejudice against differences. Of course, our perspective can be changed to theirs. Also, I was interesting that behaviors haven't been made by chance. Someone's behaviors are affected by his or her circumstances involving lots of cultural factors. We should not judge other's behaviors through our own cultural glasses. Remember that to understand one's behaviors means to know their cultures more accurately.

[@mapaulabolanos]

What if there is a culture that considers important to judge other cultures, or to have prejudices against them? Could that point of view be respected too?

As a peruvian, i really apreciate silent moments with friends. I was used to them in Perú. But here in Spain those moments seem to do not exist. People here get akward if you dont talk or they think youre uncomfortable. Im writing this because this dude said that most of us wouldnt compenhend the scandinavian point of view of a friendship. Well, maybe the scandinavians are a LOT more silent, but we southamericans can get comfortable with being in total silent next to friends.

the diversity in these lenses are perfect for culture building. We grow more from these interactions with our individual lenses on because we begin to question the standards that are set on our personal lenses, make new opinions against or in support of them. Challenging and questioning even ourselves is important to mental growth.

[@deniquak94]

I learned a lot from this video. I often see the world through my “cultural glasses”. Im open to seeking out more diverse settings and relationships for growth purposes.

[@meleromelero1]

So true and interesting what you say! Something similar happened to me yesterday!!! I grew up in North Carolina where nothing is more important than smiling, being friendly, and speaking in this protocol that basically says> If you are well educated, or not, you never ask a question until you have smiled, greeted the person with chit chat and then ask the question. After leaving NC I lived in Miami, and South American, learned Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Now I live in Madrid, Spain. I laughed that one of your talks you said people are friendly in Spain perspective is so interesting, bc `I've never heard anyone say that. I hear constantly that they are rude. Living here I've changed as well. Here's what happened. After living in Spain and finding people here much less chatty and less friendly than the US Southern culture, and Latin America ''save Argentina' I too have become a bit drier. Yesterday I was looking for a street in downtown Madrid. A young man was hauling something that looked heavy on a cart, dolly thing. I figured he must do deliveries, he was not a tourist so he may know the street I was looking for. Thinking his load may be heavy I was trying to be considerate, take less time so not to bother him, and because after living in Spain I'm a bit more direct. I blurted out in Spanish,,,,Do you know where Calle Horteleza is? The boy stopped. Looked straight into my eyes and said very seriously, BUENOS DIAS. I knew right away he was South American and I was acting a bit barbaric for just blurting out a question. I smiled, he did not, and I said in Spanish, oh...it's because you are not from Spain. He said, WHAT????? You are not saying Good morning bc I'm not from Spain??? I said, no no no no....I didn't say good morning bc in Spain no one says that. But, you are totally right. The proper way to communicate is to first say good morning, excuse me, blah blah blah. I was rude. He said yes, you were. (certainly a New Yorker or perhaps someone from Norway would have thought I was too friendly...perspective. I thanked him. I thanked him for reminding me of who I am. And, no he did not know where the street was. I liked the lesson. Another point. In Spain they say HOLA only when you walk into a store. You think that is friendly. I am used to it now, but in the beginning I found it sort of rude, or uneducated, because I too am used to more formal greetings. Good afternoon, may I help you, how are you? etc. Hola to me sounded like, I am so annoyed you just waked in here and that I have to work here. Don't get me wrong. I love living here! However, after being married to a Spaniard for 20 years, I still feel totally offended if I say Would you like some water, and he says no, instead of no thank you. It is considered to me the rudest thing anyone can do. Crazy, huh? Changing my chip....

I had to stop by describing Norway as tiny little country and I found that it is almost the same size of the UK :) but no one usually describe UK as tiny little country, perhaps an island. I think the perception of country size is different when you live in big countries like Canada.

This video could be the beginning of an interesting study related to the sociology of emotions. It could be research about how people use them to label other people's emotions and determine their relationship to a conversation and (maybe) the cultural paradigm in which they grew up. To be honest, I have never thought about how the ideas of equality of opportunity and result correlate. Might be worth reading/seeing more on this topic.

[@smb08j]

You can think of it like any other "bubble." When people "live in a bubble," it means that they are surrounded by people who think like them. Many people move to other countries and only interact with people who are also foreigners, so they are "in a social bubble," which means they don't talk to local people :)

The bus stop made me laugh - here in Spain an old granny would see a full bench, elbow her way in anyway, and wriggle around until she has enough room and everyone else is almost falling off! However, don’t agree with the comment about personal space - when we feel uncomfortable, most of us realize that it’s because the other person is too close, we’re just too polite to say it, hence the dance.

This a great video but I’m still shocked that he included a correlation assumption error to try to argue that discrimination is actually good.

[@smerdopsis6092]

I think maybe he meant to talk about affirmative action, it can be a good thing, of course depending on your cultural view

[@Grokford]

@@smerdopsis6092 that’s precisely what he’s talking and a he’s advocating active discrimination based on a first year statistics mistake.

Cultures in norway is very different. Scandinavian man is not the same all over scandinavia. People from north, east, west, south of norway is very different in terms of culture. Maybe one of the reasons why norway is very successful, we can comunicate with people from other places very well.

[@watching99134]

That's pretty true of almost all countries (also always big differences between urban and rural populations).

[@dinarachel7]

True, great point. I agree, same in other countries.
