Collaboration
Comparison India
Comparing the Indian families with ours we found out that he Indian families eat in a very different way and the Indian peers told us that there are some really obese kids in India. This doesn’t mean we (Dutch people) live healthier, because a lot of children nowadays are quite unhealthy (fat). We Dutch people offer more food from different cultures, there’s a lot to choose from in the shops whereas the Indian people have more of their own cultural food. The food in India can vary from fresh and healthy homecooked curry to greasy and unhygienic food, this is because the poor can’t afford fresh ingredients and mostly can’t afford any food at all. The good food in India is really healthy though because its mostly vegetables and even suitable for vegetarians.
Food is a big part of the Indian culture so we asked them if there was a necessity to learn how to cook in school, they told us that it would be great to get cooking lessons in schoolbecause India has many cooking traditions which should be passed on the next generations. In the Netherlands we do have certain food traditions but not as extended as the Indian kitchen so there would not be a real need to learn all the Dutch recipes in school. For the ‘richer’ Indian people sports are very important and there’s lots of different sports to choose from is what we’ve been told. We have been wondering if they have a wider selection in sports or if the Netherlands offers more on that subject. PE is mainly the same the Indian peers told us that every week contains of PE lessons and you will receive grades. We kind of manage the same system in PE, although the school system is not the same.
The equality is also a bit different whereas every kid in the Netherlands is given the opportunity to go to school in India its totally different. Because of the cast system things are still really different in India from their country’s with a much more modern plan of action. This causes for inequality in the country and therefor people who are really unhealthy because of the lack of supplies and chance given to them to change their life. The Netherlands has a system that tries to give everyone equal chances and makes sure that everyone can make their life meaningful. The healthcare isn’t even that bad in India the only problem is that the people who really need to be treated don’t even get the chance because of their lack of money. Only the richer people can pay for healthcare and some small diseases get treated at home by family members is what the students told us.
In the Netherlands even the poorest people get offered healthcare because the children can’t change anything about their situation at home and it therefor doesn’t make a difference whether you are from a poor family or a rich one you should always be able to have acces to any kind of healthcare. India is in a lot of ways different from the Netherlands but there are some similarities that even surprised me I for example wasn’t expecting that India practiced a lot of sports or even offered PE.
Procedure VC
As to having the video conference with the members of the Indian group healthy life, our group was up last for the interviews. We all sat down in front of the computer and greeted the indian students, to which they greeted us back. We both introduced ourselves and eased into the questions. Once in a while the teacher would correct the students on their posture or other minor unimportant things, which in our opinion was quite unnecessary and strange to do when skyping with another group of students, but we understand that discipline is very ordinary there and the students are also used to it. Their use of English and choice of words were extremly good. They only had slight accents, but they articulated every word very well making them easy to comprehend.
The answers they gave to our questions were very well sentenced and straight to the point, making the interviews as simple as they could be in a positive way. When it came to the actual questions and answers we noticed the big difference between living circumstances. The indian students often lived in a nuclear family; with their grandparents/ nieces, nephews or people that weren’t in their immediate family. They also seemed to be really into maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeping themselves active. All the information they gave us was explained comprehensive and even questions which didn’t need to necessarily be asked were. In short we had a very good time video calling the Indian students, it all went smoothly for a very first experience.
