Edward T. Hall talks about his beliefs on culture. The discussion includes how cultures differ between countries with a focus on Vietnam. They also discuss the cultural differences in America.

Content Warning: This conversation includes racially and/or culturally derogatory language and/or negative depictions of Black and Indigenous people of color, women, and LGBTQI+ individuals.
