The response of a guilt/innocence and honor/shame perspectives on a frustrating situation. A group of students from an Innocent/Guilt mentality are doing a cultural exchange program in China. They are stopped short and quarantined. This interview with them shows their annoyance with the strict measures and the desire for it to be “like home”. The Chinese official, when interviewed, talks about how it is a good experience for them because they will see how China values life, showing his desire to bring honor to his country, while the students are concerned with if the measures are “right”.

This short clip illustrates honor/shame in eating manners.

This short documentary clip illustrates the pride that most people feel in their nation, believing themselves to be “100%” or majority of a certain nation or ethnicity that they take great joy in belonging to. The fact of the matter is that we have “global DNA”, and we are made up of diverse nations. This can cause distress or confusion because of having one’s identity wrapped up in their background, but it can also bring joy because of finding common ground and “brotherhood” amongst the world.

In a dramatized version of leadership, we see power/fear illustrated. President Snow holds the power in the situation and he motivates his fearful subjects by giving them hope that they can have a little bit of power, which keeps them from uprising.
