different culture makes people who have different behavious. it is obvious between West and East. people in Asia do nto have many facial expression and body language; they looks shy and strict. in contrast, Western people's facial expression always change when they talk to each other. In Asia, people would not like to express themselves to each other. in other words, they sometimes seems try to hide something, or sometime they do not like others, such as family members to worry about them. So, we usually tell each other good news and hide bad things. it is quite interesting to know different cultural values around the world, and also it is useful to understand various ways to communicate with people from all over the world.

I do not think it is a mistake Asian participants made because different explanation or understanding is based on different cultral backgrounds from West and Aisa. so it is not wrong or right but cultural conflicts and differences.

look, it is the digital divided in globalization. it is the unequal technological development around the world. there is the gap between rich and poor, developed and developing. it shold let us consider the global problem in the spread of information.

based on my understanding, what Nova general manager trying to say is to give free speech and equality to every filmmaker, rather than take any political action against Chinese government. But it is hard to make sense because when the film is going to release to the public, it will influence on audiences, and change their behaviour and attitude. more seriously, it will lead to misunderstaning and grudge to people who do not really know or know little about China. It is hard to judge who is right or wrong, but hopefully, one day we can get mutual respect and understand among different cultures and religions.

the emergence of mass media, esp Internet brings about lots of opportunities to present and promote culture for each nation, and also at same time let us know, understand and 'travel' a round the world. it is the contribution of technology and information.

yeah, that is the reason I choose study in Melbourne rather than other cities.

we always define Multiculturalism as the country with diverse cultures , but it seems hard to achieve in many multicultural countries, like Singapore, Australia, America etc. I think reasons could relate to politics, one particular/dominant culture and social bias. they all bring imbalance and unequal norms that against the value of multiculture, and so that to strength one main culture and igore others.

the gap between indigenous people and non-aboriginal people exists for a long time since the land was invaded and colonized. although the Australian government admits the existance of these indigenous people and as the previous one lived in this land, it still treats them in a way of exclusion and discrimination. Rather, it is hard to indigenous Australian to achieve social equality and respect.

it is quite interesting to learn the new term "herbivore men". I think it is the popular phenomenon in Japan, and also will be a global phenomenon because of the information flow and complex human behaviours

The world is chaning all the time because of the improvement of technology and the high speed of information spread. So we always learn something new, and something is not always static. Traditionally, men in our mind are strong and powerful in sex and social work. But like this article presents, men can be weak and passive. This change breaks the conventional male image and social and cultural role.

These men are confident to show their weakness, so it is kind of personality and characteristics among human beings today. People would not like to hide themselves and to follow the traditional rule. They have more freedom to present their real personality. Therefore, as we can see, even though they are sensitive and passive, they are happy and comfortable with that. I have to say, it is the society the world we live with, in which people can have multiple faces, attitudes, identities and personalities.

It is the hot topic during these days, not only in Australia but also in China. This Xinhua News is governed by Chinese government. Basically, it serves for government.

It is a kind of strategy the press used in PR. It is trying to convince the publics what is the right decision Jia made. Also the word "only" it used is trying to say that nearly all Chinese support Jia, and no one has disagreed.

the only thing CHinese government should do is to classify the level of games and also films. it can make people choosing approriate type of game depending on their ages, and avoid young people to reach the voilence and strong sexual behaviour.
