3 questions on what you know about New Zealand culture.?

Question

Hi, so I'm doing a school documentary on what people from overseas know about New Zealand culture and how this is influenced by famous NZers in the entertainment industry. So. I had initially posted a video on youtube for people to respond to (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqxyVDJMAhQ) but that turned out to be ineffective so if you can PLEASE answer by video response on youtube.

If not then:

1. What do you know about New Zealand culture?

2. Name 3 famous people (or groups of people) in the media.

3. How do these influence your perception of NZ?

THANK YOU!!

Answer 1

Why is this in the Australia category?

1. I think the general culture is accepting of diversity. New Zealand treats Maoris a lot better than many other cultures treat their indigenous people.

2. Helen Clarke (who I think is a pretty good leader and makes me think that the majority of New Zealander's have good judgment on political issues!), Russell Crowe (well... I think Hollywood's got to him), the guys off Flight of the Concords (makes me think New Zealanders have a good sense of humour), Marie Clay (who makes me think that education is a high priority it NZ. Actually, most of the people I've met from NZ are university educated so that might have altered my perception a bit too...).

Answer 2

1. What do you want to know?

2. Nesian Mystic (group), Helen Clarke (PM) Winston Peters (NZ 1st)

3. To be honest it doesnt... Its what I read about everyday in the NZ herald, that influences my perception on NZ... Im a kiwi myself, and lived there for 16yrs, before leaving and moving onto to something a million times better...

Answer 3
