- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Pellegrino, being a cross cultural expert, he is sharing with us his personal and professional experience about how do very different cultures can successfully coexist next to each other. Is it difficult to live in Norway, being an expat? Do you know how to establish the mutual understanding between Italian and Norwegian?
Pellegrino comes form both an English and an Italian background, and is currently living in Norway. For the past 27 years he has travelled around the world and interacted with countless different cultures, nationalities and people-types. His work philosophy is to work with what you enjoy and what you are passionate about, what you believe you can excel in and are prepared to work hard to be excellent at, and only work with what can bring about positive change in yourself and in other people.

1:04 Perception (Understanding what People See)
- People see what they want to see
- It is the ability to dig under the surface and find out the underlying values are...(Key to Communicate with people)
- When you feel uncomfortable you tend to focus on the negative
- something weird to the society is unaccepeteed and unfamiliar
8:58 How to deal with people with different codes and culture
1. curiousity
Ask a simple curious question, then pick words that interests you...
YOU HAVE TO BE CURIOUS TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS
misperception is when we focus on negative sides
13:45 Rules are different in others
Its not about changing cultures its about Expanding your culture and merge all the positive aspect of each culture. This called a Global Mindset... This makes the world round
take out the good sides of each and then extend your cultural boundary. Of course, it's easier said than done, and struggles comes along with it, but eventually that's how you grow and that's how the world goes around.
Thank you
thank you so much!
thanks a lot
Thank you.
Good conclusion, thanks
one of the best ted talks ive seen
“I brought them up here to illustrate the point of conformity: the difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others. Now, those of you -- I see the look in your eyes like, "I would've walked differently." Well, ask yourselves why you were clapping. Now, we all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, "That's bad." Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society .
Brilliant! The film always makes me tear up.
POV: your teacher sent you here to learn about nonsense.
Same
Same
Good job admitting that you don’t get it 😂😂😂

It's not ''nonsense''.
Leaving your shoes off in the line so you can sit down instead is sooooo smart
I have both Korean and American, a little European, sides inside myself. It's hard to combine Eastern and Western cultures, because there are immense differences between the two, but just like Pellegrino said, the best way is to take out the good sides of each and then extend your cultural boundary. Of course, it's easier said than done, and struggles comes along with it, but eventually that's how you grow and that's how the world goes around.
agreed,,, we should adopt best from our surroundings.
Totally agree! When mixing and expanding cultural borders, we notice that many different cultures have great principles that should be followed.
How does communication help build a global mindset?
Plenty of the world is going around quite happily adhering to their own way. There is no need to destroy either of our make-ups by creating a hybrid we are what we are. I would never try to destroy or dilute either of mine. I am not 2 halves. I am 2 wholes

The story of the traffic cop in Italy just makes me smile.
Watched this video for an assignment in my Intercultural Communication class at Mercer University. Loved it. It confirmed to me that I have a global mindset.
Pellegrino R. is one amazing "hands on" Presenter that surely impacts & imparts you with the rudiments & cross-cultural contexts of global people's behavioral in the public space; and with a great sense of humour too.
Outstanding presentation! Thank you Mr. Riccardi!
What an amazing presentation. This truly is what makes the world go 'round...
That is a great example of how Cultures can be different in many worlds. I'm American who lives in Mexico, and I understand many Mexican cultures.
We need more videos like this. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about it.
great presentation. Thank you so much!
Such a powerful presentation.
What an excellent speaker! Not only informative but personal, humorous and overall delightful!
In Prague when I was with my girlfriend, we went to the doctor and everytime someone walked in people including us are supposed to say hello and when they leave, to say goodbye, it's actually really polite
great talk! As in many aspects of communication perception and acception (with familiarity) play a crucial role. They can be deceptive and hampering))
If this mans story doesn’t inspire you..check you have a pulse. 💙
it's not just Norwegian culture, its most of the world. everyone wants peace and quiet.
Having lived in both Italy and Norway, I salute you Sir. Una presentazione stupenda :)
Thanks for practical help understanding this topic.
We should definitely always seek the positive, even when the negative can be the first reaction
Absolutely fantastic!
Excellent! One of the best TED Talks!
It was really interesting , thank you for the moment
How informative as well as entertaining! Pellegrino delivered in such a witty manner and as an Egyptian who has lived almost her life as an expat, I understand the struggle of surviving in a place that is wired differently than where we come from:)
Brilliant. Thank you for that talk
This was a very interesting and informative video about a topic which has never been as relevant as it is today. Being Italian with an English/Swedish partner and living in Germany since years, I could fully relate to most of the points discussed - because I do too feel like I have multiple cultures in me which make it easier to understand and overcome potentially conflictual intercultural situations.
But there is one thing I cannot do: speak with such a great British accent. Mine is still and will probably always be (very) Italian ahah
It is interesting how culture shapes language and how we talk, including phonetics. It also determines what people mean when they say something even if that something is understood differently in another culture.
The most enjoyable TED Talk! Love it!
I really liked your presentation, thank you
By the way I am doing my PhD on Cross Cultural communication, in Napoli (I am from Algeria) ^^
I really appreciate the subtitles, it was a enjoyable video !
What a fabulous speaker Pellegrino Riccardi is! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Eight years on, this TED is really useful for me to get an understanding of my internal cultures and how the effects on my personality and how I view the world. It is interesting to me to apply this in context of the global corona virus pandemic too. It gives me more compassion for those who don't want to follow the rules. x
I loved it and I understand it totally. I’m Russo-Ukranian living in the U.K.
What a wonderful outstanding presentation. :). Thanks!
hello so i am watching this because of school but i enjoyed listening to the speaker. he was really great and i did not even get bored. thank youu
Great presentation! Again. Im a fan, think I've seen all of your stuff here on CZcams and went to a live presentation at Kulturhuset last week too :-)
I'm actually glad that our English teacher chose to have us prepare our exam by watching this vids. Second run and still finding it efficient (straight to the point) and funny :-)
(FYI I'm a postgraduate student in Supply Chain management and we've covered the negociation and cultual differences in business environnement) :-)
Brilliant presentation. I love the humour in your presentation:-)
Great speaker. Have had the same experiences at the store ( when i told an older man that he shouldn't just jump to the New line before the others) and With a parking ticket that I convinced them ( after two tries) to void. Also politeness and conversation styles can be so different in various culture. Learn from and take the best for each culture.
The 19:20 is exactly how I decided to live my life in Sweden. Born and raised in Brazil, local Bostonian and now a resident in Skåne, I was miserable in my first year. The culture, the rules, the quiet life were too much for me. I had to rearrange my way of thinking, putting those 3 cultures together in other to create my own culture. Now I am so much positive about my life here. It's not easy, it's an everyday challenge, but I feel much better! Thank you for reassuring I'm on the right track!
Great attitude to have - it will serve you well. I wish all the best for your future life in Sweden.
ted talks is life
This is now my absolute favorite TedTalks! I’m communications major now going for intercultural communication...
I wish I could sit down with you and have a discussion... this is exactly the stuff I love to hear in intercultural communication group. I got my BA in history and wants to teach, but learned quickly that I want to both make a difference and bridge the divide between cultures. It’s amazing how the world improves when we learn how to approach life with cultural relativism but in a practical and adaptive ways!
In my communication class I need to make a presentation on Culture and perception. But I do not have any idea on how to start the introduction of the presentation. Since you are a communications major, I would really really appreciate if you help me with some lines on how to start the introduction of my paper.
@@hamid786ish Hamid, I am currently working on an intercultural essay for my communications class. I am currently looking for candidates. Would you be willing to be interviewed to discuss your culture? Let me know if you're interested, friend!
@@Vic-rf6hs, Ok ask me your questions friend.
@@Vic-rf6hs Is this taken care ?
@@sairanikhatimam yes. Thanks for asking.
He's very fantastic
Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏all through!

Our studycoaching lecturer made us watch this (I'm in an international course in the Netherlands), and I just rewatched this because I will never forget the whole complaining thing. It's really just a matter of how you go about certain characteristics. Really opened my eyes, and I can't wait to see more of the world asap. Thank you for sharing!
are we sharing the same class by any chance?
Ours too
Greetings from germany we watch it too
I'm watching this for my cultural diversity & individual differences course that I'm taking while I pursue my Master of Arts degree in Human Services. This week I am learning and having a discussion about inclusive communication. I also got accepted for the Human Services Group Board Member position! I am loving the Human Services field so far! I am a behavior technician and have a BA in Cognition.
This clarify everything. Thank u :)
I am Dr Charles Ikechukwu Udeagu from Cambodia happy to be here. Though I am late because I didn't get the confirmation in time.
Pellegrino, thank you! I would not be able to make it clearer. I'm Ukrainian living in Mexico and everything you've said is so true!!!!!
I'll be interested to know how different, or can you elaborate further? I am Mexican and I would like to know the perception you have
I am Ukrainian living in Brazil - privet !
the use of such kind of cross cultural communication seems to help people in many ways.
When I became an American Citizen in Miami, the mayor of the city (a born American) gave a beautiful speech to a crowd of about 1,500 people from all over the world. And he end up his speech by saying; by you becoming American citizens does not mean you should give up your roots and your culture is by you enriching the the culture of United States Of America with the culture you were born with, congratulations my brothers and sisters.
Awesome!
Bravissimo! GRAZIE
To the point in many ways. Thank you for sharing in an intelligent and entertaining way. Being a German having lived in Norway for about 28 years and working with immigrants I totally agree with you: A global mind set with the best things we can get! Yeah :) But this provokes a lot of people who are afraid of loosing "their culture" - anywhere. I like especially the Italian parking-solution: This combines German efficiency, Norwegian "must-pay-the-fine-mentality" and all the other southbound creative-chaotic-charming solutions.
Loved this presentation
ted talks is awesome
This talk is amazing
Brilliant¡ Thanks for sharing this¡¡ Global mindset is one of the keys for a better world¡¡
Very interesting presentation...I love it! Different perspectives and make me understand better about this issue. Thank you sir
Excellent presentation!
Love this it truly shows an example across cultures, born in Romanian, married a Serbian that grew up in US, having three children, lucky to travel, and experiencing, exactly what Mr Pellegrino , accepting who you are , and learning other cultures, takes an effort that some people are willing to accept, when you identify, who you are and willing to accept other cultures you certainly are ready to move on to a global identity, I think this is so beneficial, values are learned, and staying on the positive, helps identify, and value your own culture, can you see that, are you ready for a change, being curious is a good thing, who listens, and who practices, makes a difference! Loved this talk , the examples were extremely important, it shows the originality of different cultures, that is so beautiful a learning and enriching experience, I love this ability to experiment different cultures it is a beautiful life!:)❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment.
this guy is great
Had me in tears but because I am half British, Half Italian, Half Dutch and half French. Yes I'm a big lady...jokes apart I loved this talk but is that because of my background? How many in the audience really understood the humour in the talk? It's about knowing your audience but when you have a multiculti audience how do you position your humour? without offending anyone or sounding too 'schadenfreude' - an area I thoroughly enjoy!
simply splendid
Wow, awesome presentation. Good to be more open-minded about other cultures. The world is fast becoming a global village.
Thank you
I really enjoyed this segment.
The best Ted X ! Bravo!!
really enjoyed this, being half Norwegian (mother from Oslo) and half English where I grew up but living in the US with my wife who grew up in Mexico City, I understand that global perspective. I really enjoyed this talk but particularly the Norwegian lilt to his English. Absolutely loved the "Du?" line. Hilarious!
2016 and still watching this
2020 and I'm watching it as I'm starting Intercultural Communication, loved it!
Great presentation, about the mindset of globalization(which is important) . Rules for small talk is also very interesting to start conversation with people of another nationality and best way to understand the concept of communicate
This is very entertaining. I found myself getting amused and laughing. Thank you.
Totally enjoyed the presentation 👍
Thank you for a very good talk, also a good show. Am preparing a lecture on intercultural sensitivity for my students, and apart from the content (especially the curiosity message) you inspire me to put together a really good show!
Thanks Rob - hope your presentation went well.
Though it is an old presentation, it is valid and I fall into this notion of cultural background. follow the norms of the place and learn and internalise and use it for betterment and expand the reach.
Mr Riccardi
Ahahaha, absolutely quality!
