After watching the video, comment in full details the following questions:

1.  Why do we need to understand cultural context?  How is it tied to intention?

2. Have you ever experienced a time when cultural context caused a misunderstanding for you?

3. Give three different examples from the video of cultural differences in the following cultures:

a. British:

b. Japanese:

c. Finland:

d. Germany:

4. How does he employ Maslow's levels in explaining cultural priorities?  What is a major factor in each level?

5. Keeping in mind the video, if you are a therapist who serves a wide cultural range what is going to be important for you to understand.  Does our perspective play a part in our truth? 

Please remember that answering ALL questions thoroughly, clearly and grammatically correct, as well as in response to classmate discussions.  You are constructing paragraphs (4-5 sentences!) per question - not bullet points.
