I loved this Tedtalk, I thought I might watch this because social media is filled with culture and people from many different backgrounds
Comment from : Rehya

Definitely top 5 Ted Talk I've watched so far
Comment from : David Oliveira

I think it's a good example that assort culture into peaches and coconuts It makes this topic more easy to understand and also more clearly And the story greeting in public is humorous and funny, it just makes me relax while watching video
Comment from : chi

Lebanese wedding part is funny and it shows the differences between different cultures I've never been to a wedding and I learned that a wedding can be not-so-serious and joyful!
Comment from : 蟲蟲

I think the talk is very great that every culture is so different so sometimes there will be many interesting things when two cultures meet But I think that the example of the Chinese is kind of a special case that most of the Chinese or Asian won't do this kind of thing
Comment from : Kenny鄧建一

love the part about the chinese women sitting on your lap, your speeeech is both entertaining and useful at the same time the fact that every culture is diffrent with how easily or hardly you can get used to is very interesting br the idea of getting comfortable at an uncomfortable moment is helpful
Comment from : 鹹西瓜

Umm It's really hard to understand the Chinese example I have lived in China for 22 years and never heard about an elder lady sitting on a stranger's laps also too weird for local people!!🤔
Comment from : Michael DU

What a great ted talk!!
Comment from : Alejandro P

The knowledge of culture enrich the understanding of the students to cope up with the new environment which is very important
Comment from : Farhana Islam

Wow, this is one of the greatest Ted Talk I've watched! Merci pour ton humour, ta sensibilité, la finesse, ton empathie On en a besoin dans le monde! Je suis née au Québec et je vis présentement au Pérou Si je pouvais trouver un fruit pour la culture du Québec, je dirais une pomme, car d'abord il y a tellement de couleurs, de saveurs et de différentes variétés Pour la culture du Pérou, je dirais la papaye, car la pelure est vraiment mince (boundaries!!!) Pour terminer, je travaille en ligne avec des étudiants d'un peu partout dans le monde car j'enseigne l'anglais langue seconde La plupart de mes élèves souhaitent gagner en confiance dans leur expression orale afin de voyager et d'ouvrir des portes au niveau professionnel Merci, je vais leur partager la vidéo et en discuter avec eux!
Comment from : Myriam Laflamme

The "culture" of the mentally ill, disadvantaged, marginalized and disenfranchised isn't a real culture It is nothing to be proud of and not a good role model
Comment from : bizarte

Perfect content for my pupils Just a random teacher saying thanks !
Comment from : Marouane Sibari

oof
Comment from : RadRyeGuy

Today I realized that I have no culture because i lived in two different countries in my childhood and wasn't 100 to any country, made me cry ngl, weird feeling
Comment from : Prod Yani

This video is not worth watching Some opinions are not real local culture like his experienced in China I have never heard about someone like he mentioned that a woman sat on him in China Actually, most of Chinese especially women are very traditionary So I think he is lying or want to make a joke to hook his audience Even though, his opinion isn’t on behalf of Chinese culture
Comment from : Mama T

Thanks from agadir morocco, some chines are not happy about you ,and i thing they are right: brWe should not générale the culture from the individual case
Comment from : Jamil Abdelali

China is committing genocide
Comment from : Wolfgang Sperger

丫在公开场合大张旗鼓的刻意丑化一个民族，就只因它所说一件事？一件连真假都不能确定的所谓的’‘经历’‘，还做演讲，恶俗？
Comment from : 给我来碗儿热乎的恩希玛

Shouldn't this guy be citing Fonz Trompenaars here?! At 10:10 he refers to a peach vs coconut anecdote He says: "I like to refer to this as" as if this were his anecdote This actually comes from a MUCH earlier talk from Fonz Trompenaars (Nov 6, 2013 - 13:20) on Ted It may simply be an oversight, but Bourelle's presentation makes it seem as if this is HIS idea! Perhaps Trompenaars has also 'pinched' the idea without citing it Either way It is EITHER an enormous coincidence or it is an inappropriate use of another person's idea without citation This is how otherwise good quality information providers like TED become discredited
Comment from : Wayne Kelly

I do like the way the talk concluded, but I kinda wish that there was further info that discussed how much something happened on an individualistic level or a cultural level and whether there's a spectrum that falls between them
Comment from : Pheonixtail Dragonlore

This is just a misunderstanding Chinese people are used to being modest when she said no she is just trying to be polite What you need to do is continue to give up your seat I know, sometimes it is confusing
Comment from : xiaoyu zhou

its bad we are learning cultures from book
Comment from : Anup

Comment from : Anup

Great video it’s just needed more audience😊❤️
Comment from : Halal Police

0:19 & 3:12 Spain use to be Islamic country so I’m surprised they still have some of Islamic culture
Comment from : Halal Police

So based on an alleged experience with one old lady, he immediately assumes that's the culture of a country made up of 15 billion people covering an area 95 million km2
Comment from : Cthulhu Mythos

Which city was it? As a Chinese, I just can not believe what happened to you, I have been living in Beijing for so many years, so many western people are living there I have never heard anything like that And you cant say that is the culture of China!!! Not every Chinese is like that It was just a single weird experience and there must be some misunderstanding
Comment from : liu liu

I feel like America is all three of those "Equality of Opportunity" styles he talked about at 11:20, which is why it's super conflicting here Or maybe we have the perceptions that these three exist and only one actually does hmm
Comment from : nexusBOS

It was not the musical instrument that made the swiss jump on the table, it was the alcohol

My teacher told me to watch this

you are so cute
Comment from : F C

You should not generalize the culture from the individual case If you’re a researcher, please be responsible for your observation and your words
Comment from : Mi&Co xie

Lebanese in Norway here I can totally identify with everything that has been said in this video
Comment from : Fady Gemayel

It's impossible for that old Chinese woman to sit on him! As a Chinese, I argued that most people would be appreciated for him leaving the seat, although there may be some unpleasant behaviour conducted by some people, such as not expressing thanks Also, we welcome people in their own cultural background and many foreigners come to China to prepare for personal success We would not be surprised when looking a foreigner with long hair on arms I could not doubt that he once left his seat for an old Chinese woman, but he unfairly demonstrates the truth to support his idea

Really, I believe that depending on our culture education every human been build many walls to communicate with other people and depend o every one to turn down to communicate and to learn about the other personbreally, I believe that depending on our culture education every human been build many walls to communicate with other people and depend o every one to turn down to communicate and to learn about the other person

Comment from : Yeet Potato boi

What a ridiculous speech! Are you sure you’re familiar with “culture”? It’s really misleading about the “lap” story! If you’ve really experienced the Chinese culture, you should not generalize the culture from the individual case If you’re a researcher, I believe you think you are, pls be responsible for your observation and your words
Comment from : Daisy Z

Agree I don't think any normal Chinese woman will sit on a stranger's lap, even if it's in a rural village This is not normal The story is not a fair presentation of a different culture (ie Chinese culture) nor a good example of "being comfortable with what is uncomfortable" The behaviour of "sitting on a stranger on a bus and pulling their arm hairs for 30 minutes" is not a culture, it is a rare behaviour, and I don't think people are supposed to be comfortable with this behaviour
Comment from : CC加州生活

i hate much about culture because probably in past our family was wrong about what they were doing so we should probe into culture and if there is any mistake we have to correct it culture is traditional structure we have to change where there is a mistake
Comment from : john Beyond

Honestly one of my favorite things to do is to learn about and experience other cultures
Comment from : James Roscoe

I grew up in China and people definitely do NOT sit on random people's laps It's not culture, the old woman is just kind of weird
Comment from : evbdgbj

This really hit me hard I just realized the difference among the different perspectives that collide when helping or rewarding the weakest or the strongest I have seen these actions and learned about them, but only from my country’s point of view Is pretty interesting to know how other people think And thank you very much! I really appreciated your video!
Comment from : Gerardo Murga Montelongo

Culture friendly, people diversity As long nobody kills me I rather be sat on
Comment from : Bom Mcjigger

Having friends from other cultures makes me more creativebrbrIn fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross cultural relationships
Comment from : Eat, Sleep, Pray, Love

Ironically some of the comments in this section more or less proves his point It's obviously a light hearted look at cultural misunderstandings and what happens in those moments - not a reason to feel the need to stump up and 'defend' a culture It's fascinating some people thought the old woman in the story must be 'mad' - she just sounds amusing, incredibly human and warm hearted Good for her
Comment from : airingcupboard

The speaker needs to re-examine his ability and speech as a cross culture researcher He regards the action of an individual as a general culture, which is a mistake that undermined the credibility of his views Don't play to the gallery with novelty stories and stop being arrogantbrbr1 As a person who has lived in China for nearly 30 years and has studied Chinese humanities for over 15 years, I have a full understanding of China's regional culture and history I have never heard of, seen, or read in any record that "an old woman sitting on a stranger's lap" is a culture of any region or era This behavior will never happen in China, because it violates our social ethicsI'm sure the woman has mental diseasebr2 Why did people laugh? To see a mad old woman sitting on the laps of a foreigner who is also laughing Isn't that funny? The Chinese laughed not because they were comfortable with the situation, but because they thought both of the two were ridiculousbr3Why the speaker was invited? It is not because what he did, it is because who he is In Chinese tradition, visitors should be treated kindly They invited foreigners to dinner at home in order to show care, friendliness and hospitality, not because he ”managed to put himself in a situation that was uncomfortable for him and the locals felt that they were much closer to him"

interesting :)
Comment from : For Freedoms Sake

Open a door for some women and they look at you in disgust Very sad what society has become
Comment from : kelperdude

Very good speech
Comment from : Daggen

I am Chinese, but are you sure that old Chinese woman doesn't have mental problems?
Comment from : Queens cake

Really, I believe that depending on our culture education every human been build many walls to communicate with other people and depend o every one to turn down to communicate and to learn about the other person and cultures
Comment from : leo CABALLERO GONZALEZ

sometimes people misunderstand some behaviour as general culture
Comment from : Jinnnnnnnn

As a Chinese, NEVER heard about this behaviour In China, if we meet this case, we mainly will feel shocked, weird and even be offended We are educated leave the seats to old people and people who need help in our culture I'm not sure if the reaction of the woman is from her village culture or just some individual "joke"
Comment from : Jinnnnnnnn

awesome video!!
Comment from : Monfli

So cute😘
Comment from : laila younes

Even in village of China , this would not happeni suspect this part was made up to prove his point
Comment from : 九渡Tyan

nice defining ,,,,
Comment from : pardeep

This video was shared in my interculture business class today morning, What he presented about China and Chiness is totally wrong! Nobody will seat on other people's legs needless to say a strange foreign man! He is a joker more than a speaker by playing to the gallery
