4.1. Activity: Cultural case studies
According to (Pappas and McKelvie 2021) grandparent or someone of your grandparent’s generation that you know moderately well. My grandfather Walirr is in his 80’s traditional Aboriginal man. For the first video, he would enjoy the song as it is in the Indigenous language even though he would not understand the words. For the second video, he would find it funny as he is not used to new cultures. In the last video, he is very empathetic towards Robert Hoge. Still, the music, as we all know, is the Australian anthem.
A friend or peer of yours who is of the opposite sex or a different gender identification than you. They would enjoy the first video because they want to watch the rugby, and the singing is part of the opening ceremony, and they are used to how the opening ceremonies go each year. Also, they would appreciate the song being sung in Indigenous languages.
In the second video, my peer or friend would not watch it as they are interested in women, and they may feel weird about it if people see them watching it. In the third video, my peer or friend would empathise with Robert Hoge because they would also feel sorry for him and wonder what happened to him.
A friend or family member who doesn’t live in the same country as you; The first video would make my friend living overseas feel homesick or feel proud to be Australian
The second video my friend and family would love to watch the video because of their personality and who he is as a person. In the third video, my friend or family would be very empathetic, feel sorry for him, and wonder why he looks like that. Someone at least ten years younger than you.The first video they would stop watching as they are more interested in social media etc. In the second video, they would love him to pieces as they are more accepting of cultures in modern-day times. They would probably make fun of him in the third video because they can be immature.
