In this video‚ I learned a lot about Italian American culture. For example‚ I used to just go with the notion that all Italian American’s are somehow connected to the mafia‚ and after viewing this film I have realized that this idea is pretty ignorant.

There are many stereotypes placed on Africans and their country. Africa embodies many different cultures‚ that many other countries are unfamiliar with. For instance‚ in America because we are more industrialized‚ we classify Africa as an undeveloped country.
