I am revamping my Intro Soc course for the Fall, and I am hoping to find ways to better engage students in our discussion of culture, which happens early in the semester and is the foundation of so many other concepts we discuss. I find that students understand the variation of cultural norms and values, but they still tend to approach other ways of life as strange or wrong. I was wondering if any of you have suggestions for videos that might encourage them to rethink this approach. I have heard about documentaries that depict how people from other cultures view our own practices (such as putting braces on our childrens' teeth) as bizzare, but I have been unable to locate any. However, any video that depicts different ways of life to demonstrate that there is not a "natural" or "right" way might be effective. Any thoughts?
