1:04 Perception (Understanding what People See) - People see what they want to see - It is the ability to dig under the surface and find out the underlying values are...(Key to Communicate with people) - When you feel uncomfortable you tend to focus on the negative - something weird to the society is unaccepeteed and unfamiliar 8:58 How to deal with people with different codes and culture 1. curiousity Ask a simple curious question, then pick words that interests you... YOU HAVE TO BE CURIOUS TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS misperception is when we focus on negative sides 13:45 Rules are different in others Its not about changing cultures its about Expanding your culture and merge all the positive aspect of each culture. This called a Global Mindset... This makes the world round take out the good sides of each and then extend your cultural boundary. Of course, it's easier said than done, and struggles comes along with it, but eventually that's how you grow and that's how the world goes around.

Leaving your shoes off in the line so you can sit down instead is sooooo smart

[@sarenawhite1337]

Watched this video for an assignment in my Intercultural Communication class at Mercer University. Loved it. It confirmed to me that I have a global mindset.

[@steventate1895]

“I brought them up here to illustrate the point of conformity: the difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others. Now, those of you -- I see the look in your eyes like, "I would've walked differently." Well, ask yourselves why you were clapping. Now, we all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, "That's bad." Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society .

[@PellegrinoRiccardi1]

Brilliant! The film always makes me tear up.

[@KoreanwithMissVicky]

I have both Korean and American, a little European, sides inside myself. It's hard to combine Eastern and Western cultures, because there are immense differences between the two, but just like Pellegrino said, the best way is to take out the good sides of each and then extend your cultural boundary. Of course, it's easier said than done, and struggles comes along with it, but eventually that's how you grow and that's how the world goes around.

[@imranfotography]

agreed,,, we should adopt best from our surroundings.

[@superjobimax]

Totally agree! When mixing and expanding cultural borders, we notice that many different cultures have great principles that should be followed.

How does communication help build a global mindset?

[@Deejaay83urj38]

Plenty of the world is going around quite happily adhering to their own way. There is no need to destroy either of our make-ups by creating a hybrid we are what we are. I would never try to destroy or dilute either of mine. I am not 2 halves. I am 2 wholes

It's really just a matter of how you go about certain characteristics. Really opened my eyes, and I can't wait to see more of the world asap. Thank you for sharing!

This is now my absolute favorite TedTalks! I’m communications major now going for intercultural communication... I wish I could sit down with you and have a discussion... this is exactly the stuff I love to hear in intercultural communication group. I got my BA in history and wants to teach, but learned quickly that I want to both make a difference and bridge the divide between cultures. It’s amazing how the world improves when we learn how to approach life with cultural relativism but in a practical and adaptive ways!

[@hamid786ish]

In my communication class I need to make a presentation on Culture and perception. But I do not have any idea on how to start the introduction of the presentation. Since you are a communications major, I would really really appreciate if you help me with some lines on how to start the introduction of my paper.

Love this it truly shows an example across cultures, born in Romanian, married a Serbian that grew up in US, having three children, lucky to travel, and experiencing, exactly what Mr Pellegrino , accepting who you are , and learning other cultures, takes an effort that some people are willing to accept, when you identify, who you are and willing to accept other cultures you certainly are ready to move on to a global identity, I think this is so beneficial, values are learned, and staying on the positive, helps identify, and value your own culture, can you see that, are you ready for a change, being curious is a good thing, who listens, and who practices, makes a difference! Loved this talk , the examples were extremely important, it shows the originality of different cultures, that is so beautiful a learning and enriching experience, I love this ability to experiment different cultures it is a beautiful life!:)❤️❤️❤️

[@PellegrinoRiccardi1]

Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment.

[@danydmenezes]

The 19:20 is exactly how I decided to live my life in Sweden. Born and raised in Brazil, local Bostonian and now a resident in Skåne, I was miserable in my first year. The culture, the rules, the quiet life were too much for me. I had to rearrange my way of thinking, putting those 3 cultures together in other to create my own culture. Now I am so much positive about my life here. It's not easy, it's an everyday challenge, but I feel much better! Thank you for reassuring I'm on the right track!

[@PellegrinoRiccardi1]

Great attitude to have - it will serve you well. I wish all the best for your future life in Sweden.

When I became an American Citizen in Miami, the mayor of the city (a born American) gave a beautiful speech to a crowd of about 1,500 people from all over the world. And he end up his speech by saying; by you becoming American citizens does not mean you should give up your roots and your culture is by you enriching the the culture of United States Of America with the culture you were born with, congratulations my brothers and sisters.

[@sairanikhatimam]

Awesome!

[@Sabinedorothea]

To the point in many ways. Thank you for sharing in an intelligent and entertaining way. Being a German having lived in Norway for about 28 years and working with immigrants I totally agree with you: A global mind set with the best things we can get! Yeah :) But this provokes a lot of people who are afraid of loosing "their culture" - anywhere. I like especially the Italian parking-solution: This combines German efficiency, Norwegian "must-pay-the-fine-mentality" and all the other southbound creative-chaotic-charming solutions.

[@meggie4792]

Whoa i didn't blink when i was watching this. All of what he says were extremely accurate and makes sense. Thankyou!

[@PellegrinoRiccardi1]

Thank you so much, Mega.

[@martinad.3376]

This was a very interesting and informative video about a topic which has never been as relevant as it is today. Being Italian with an English/Swedish partner and living in Germany since years, I could fully relate to most of the points discussed - because I do too feel like I have multiple cultures in me which make it easier to understand and overcome potentially conflictual intercultural situations. But there is one thing I cannot do: speak with such a great British accent. Mine is still and will probably always be (very) Italian ahah

[@justicekoskei1701]

It is interesting how culture shapes language and how we talk, including phonetics. It also determines what people mean when they say something even if that something is understood differently in another culture.

[@ElliottSamson]

Inspirational! Thank you! I am a first-year Cultural Awareness ~ university student. Your video helped me better understand my mother. I never thought that would be possible! ;)

What a fabulous speaker Pellegrino Riccardi is! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Eight years on, this TED is really useful for me to get an understanding of my internal cultures and how the effects on my personality and how I view the world. It is interesting to me to apply this in context of the global corona virus pandemic too. It gives me more compassion for those who don't want to follow the rules. x

[@marcuscollins4152]

really enjoyed this, being half Norwegian (mother from Oslo) and half English where I grew up but living in the US with my wife who grew up in Mexico City, I understand that global perspective. I really enjoyed this talk but particularly the Norwegian lilt to his English. Absolutely loved the "Du?" line. Hilarious!

[@nw5814]

Had me in tears but because I am half British, Half Italian, Half Dutch and half French. Yes I'm a big lady...jokes apart I loved this talk but is that because of my background? How many in the audience really understood the humour in the talk? It's about knowing your audience but when you have a multiculti audience how do you position your humour? without offending anyone or sounding too 'schadenfreude' - an area I thoroughly enjoy!

[@robgravelotte]

Thank you for a very good talk, also a good show. Am preparing a lecture on intercultural sensitivity for my students, and apart from the content (especially the curiosity message) you inspire me to put together a really good show!

[@lc5698]

What a great intervention! I'm french so I can't agree more about what you said. We do complain all the time about all things. But I would say even inside each culture, there is many different cultures. French people from countryside would definitely be irritated by the behavior of french people (especially parisiens) you presented. So the more you go into the countryside the more people would look like a little bit like norvegians people. And generally the more you go inside big cities, the more you find depressed people that complain about anything and are world champion when it comes to break the rules (find a place to park your car in paris is like looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes). But I guess it is not a french fact, i can imagine that London for instance has the same kind of distance with the rest of England. But maybe I'm wrong.

[@PellegrinoRiccardi1]

Yes, culture have sub-cultures that have sub-cultures, and it is very complex ... one of the "weaknesses" of only having 18 minutes is that I had to generalise quite a bit.

Best talk about cross cultural communication

[@elisabird6245]

Try a Cuban queue some time. You find out who is "el último" - the last person. Once there is someone else behend you, you can do something else for a while (you usually have a rough idea how long you´ll have to wait). So the bus comes, the shop opens or whatever. If you are lucky, you can find the person in front of you and fit in to your place. Smart people have also found out who the último is behind too. Even then, they might have both disappeared.
