It was very interesting to see the the different trends in different cultures however cannot help but notice she chooses only the progressive subcultures as representations. Her Berlin episode with the the afghani couple confirmed to me how short sighted she was and quite ignorant unfortunately. She kept asking the lady if anyone ever told her her own happiness was important. her questions reveal a very ethnocentric view which I suppose someone like her having the job she has could be expected to naturally operate beyond that. She goes on to say the woman looks very scared being asked that question not considering that she was instead offended by the individualistic mentality she pushed forward. Some cultures are more of collectivists that individualistic and this is such a basic distinction anyone interested in culture ought to keep in mind. Her ignorance whether staged or not was annoying and made the show lose credibility. A shame really because she had access to resources that could have added depth to the subject.
