Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the cultural highlights of each episode. How do the different countries' customs relate to yours? What can kids (and grown-ups!) learn from other cultures? Why is it so important to understand how people live in other places? Families can also use the extreme-sports segments as an opportunity to review safety guidelines.

    if the white people have no blacks in the shows and its called racism..put a white actor or 2 and start being what is forced on the white community.
