Pick a country, and share any 4 aspects of the culture that you think are noteworthy and are worth sharing with the class. The world consists of history as well as modern life, and the interwovenness of both as well. So you can see history in action, life in progress across the globe, with unique specialties of each culture. Each one less than 3 minutes in length, yet fascinating, vibrant and full of information power!!

Here are a few videos and links, but you can find your own as well, if you like. Just remember, as always, we are merely reporting, not judging, as each culture is unique and we are scientists, reporting as befits an upper class college classroom. Remember to connect at least two of your 4 aspects to out course content readings/curriculum/peer reviewed,academic resources(wikipedia and popular news/online articles do not count as academic sources). Sorry I can't get rid of the annoying ads...
