solution chart for cross cultural
understanding case study.

misunderstanding

4.  British people try to be against obesity but not against obese people.
Most kids think that fat people are less popular and they won’t do
well in school. Some kids were asked about their opinion on two
pictures. 1 picture was 2 boys both were skinny but 1 is disabled, the
one disabled is Alfie and the other one is Thomas. The next picture is
that 1 is fat and 1 is skinny, the fat one is Alfie and the skinny one is
Thomas. They think that the disabled Alfie and fat Alfie will have less
opportunity to beat Thomas in a race. They think that disabled Alfie
and fat Alfie won't do well in school and won't be as popular as
Thomas.

5. A lot of kids judge obese kids and
underestimate them and that causes them
with no friends.

6. POSSIBLE ACTIONS THE IMPACTS
Convince them to believe that obese people are
not as bad as they think
– They won’t be convinced
– They feel like obese people are scaredy cat and they
will keep on judging them.
+ They might start to reflect
+ They will be convinced
Teachers in their school try to remind students to
be friends with all people.
– They will ignore the reminder
– They will try to judge the obese person more and
more
+ The obese person might have a friend or two
Parents/teachers ask them to reflect and think if
they were the one being prejudiced
– They wont reflect and think that their parent is on the
obese people’s side.
+ They might think to reflect and understand that it is
wrong.
+ They will start to help the obese people and try to be
friends with them.
+ They realize that it’s not good to do that and it is
wrong then they stop
The obese people try to proof them wrong and
ignoring them
– They will be judged more and more.
+ The obese people success in proofing them wrong
+ The other obese people will be inspired and do it too.

7. The best action is action number 4 which
is to proof them all wrong and ignoring
them. It is the best action because you
don’t need to depend on them and you can
easily do it. It is also good because it
doesn’t bring impact only on you but it
might give impacts to other too.
