Lisa C. sent in this AT&T video that shows a family from the U.S. vacationing in Spain:
Lisa says, “I think that this is a prime example of how different cultures and societies react to nudity and the nude form,” some viewing nudity as “taboo or even pornography (note how the mother in the commercial covers the children’s eyes),” while “other cultures (Spain, in this commercial) embrace and celebrate the nude body.”
It would be useful for a discussion of bodies and attitudes of nudity, obviously, but I think I’m going to use it in my Intro to Soc courses when I talk about culture shock.
Thanks, Lisa!
