BLINDSIGHT

1-what types of cultural diversity are present in the movie?
-The types are Tibetan kids  speak Tibetan language and their religion is Buddhist, the German lady who set up a blind school and she speaks English and her religion is Christian.
2-what are some of the challenges people in the movie encounter?
-the challenge was to get the blind kids to the top of the mountain
-the challenge of communicating between the Tibetan kids and the rest of the crew
3-what are some examples of stereotyping, prejudice, bias and discrimination in the video?
-Discrimination: Tashi, the street kid
-got his body burned with cigarette by unknown people
4-what challenge do people face as a result of personality rather than culture?
-one of the challenges is that Tashi was sent away from his family to live with a Chinese couple and he was beaten by them if he didn’t came back home with money; they forced him to beg, and because he is blind the money he collected  got stolen from him.   
5-what benefits are there for the people in the movie as a result of their differing cultures?
-the result is the German lady and the others of the team got to know the lifestyle of the blind Tibetan kids and on the other hand the blind Tibetan kids know for sure there are many kind people in the world and being blind does not mean losing hope of living.
