Conduct a multicultural observation using publicly available movies, TV shows, or other video media.  Regarding your choice of a movie, you may draw inspiration from the supplementary article by Greene and colleagues (2014). Spend one hour observing a group of people from a minority culture or subculture, in particular their non-verbal communication.  In your posted message, indicate to what extent those non-verbal aspects helped you locate the characters or cultural groups on the collectivist – individualist continuum, or high- vs. low-context cultural dimension. Do NOT conduct a formal in vivo observation.
