Communicating Across Cultures

This four-part video series explores how to communicate across the frontiers of race, religion, culture, sex, age and background.

Russian Orthodox priest, scholar, peace-maker and raconteur Father Michael Oleksa combines energy with twenty-five years personal experience listening to the traditional voices of Alaskan Natives to host this dynamic and sensitive series.

Our World - The Global-Literate Culture
The first Program focuses on the basic experiences of and assumptions about reality that dominate modern western society. Characterizing the dominant culture of the world as Global-Literate, Father Michael describes the evolution of this view of the World, with its exclusively chronological sense of time, from its origins in the ancient Middle East.
Runs: 56 minutes - NTSC VHS or DVD

The Old Wisdom - Traditional Cultures
The second program describes an alternative view of life, of reality derived from the more ancient sense of time and of humanity inspired by traditional, non-literate cultures of the World. How did these cultures answer the questions: Who are we? Where do we fit in the cosmic scheme of things? How do we appropriately relate to each other and the world around us?
Runs: 56 minutes - NTSC VHS or DVD

The Clash of Worlds
The third program describes the tragic clash between the Global-Literate and the Traditional cultures of the world. Documenting the effects of massive enculturation, Father Michael asserts that tribal people must be allowed to become their own experts, to assume responsible positions within their villages and regions, and to adapt whatever is useful from the modern world to their own needs and situation, without losing their positive sense of identity.
Runs: 56 minutes - NTSC VHS or DVD

Father Michael describes why it is so difficult to communicate accurately and effectively and includes some guidelines for what to look for, as well as what to about the inevitable miscommunications that are part of our daily lives.
