00:00:13.727 --> 00:00:15.747
I live in South London, Bermondsey.

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:18.432
I originate from Nigeria.

00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:22.931
I live in London, which is Bermondsey,
and I originate from Greece.

00:00:23.772 --> 00:00:28.083
I'm from Jamaica, Spanish Town, Rivoli,
originally from Jamaica.

00:00:28.390 --> 00:00:32.352
I live in Bermondsey and I
originate from Ivory Coast.

00:00:37.209 --> 00:00:40.160
Morals and values, 
that's what culture means to me.

00:00:40.284 --> 00:00:45.026
Culture means to me what you
believe in, where you come from,

00:00:45.062 --> 00:00:48.472
your traditions, that you
follow, at home and abroad.

00:00:48.527 --> 00:00:52.306
Culture, to me, is a way of living,

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.637
like your background, your religion.

00:00:54.938 --> 00:01:01.905
Your ancestors and your background,
where you, your roots come from.

00:01:02.615 --> 00:01:04.572
In my eyes, culture means a lot to me

00:01:04.589 --> 00:01:09.198
because back at home in Greece,
they do the normal culture,

00:01:09.209 --> 00:01:11.007
which is different than in London,

00:01:11.023 --> 00:01:14.412
but in London, I'm more likely
to mix with other cultures.

00:01:20.267 --> 00:01:26.465
There might be some bad sides
in multicultural society.

00:01:26.493 --> 00:01:30.658
There's lots of crimes
happening because of colour,

00:01:31.373 --> 00:01:37.058
the skin colour, see, black,
and that's white. Skin colour.

00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:39.621
People have their own opinions,

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.763
and they might think
different from other people,

00:01:42.783 --> 00:01:45.721
so there might be a misunderstanding.

00:01:46.041 --> 00:01:49.900
But we're all the same people,
if you think about it,

00:01:49.923 --> 00:01:52.660
we're all one, in it together.

00:01:52.837 --> 00:01:54.769
Just different colours,
different religions,

00:01:54.830 --> 00:01:57.143
traditions that you have to follow,

00:01:57.152 --> 00:02:00.965
but then again we're still
a team, like one team.

00:02:01.070 --> 00:02:04.583
I feel our multicultural society
is good because you can see

00:02:04.592 --> 00:02:09.147
how different cultures made a
contribution to building London.

00:02:09.410 --> 00:02:12.941
Well, I find living in a
multicultural society very good

00:02:12.964 --> 00:02:15.652
because you live and learn
every day about something new.

00:02:15.691 --> 00:02:19.494
You get to mix with everyone, engage

00:02:19.523 --> 00:02:22.893
and learn different things
about different people.

00:02:23.156 --> 00:02:26.328
And things that they enjoy
that's different from you

00:02:26.352 --> 00:02:27.984
and you're not quite used to.

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:31.369
Say I went outside and I met a Muslim,

00:02:31.436 --> 00:02:32.904
and I know nothing about Muslims,

00:02:32.924 --> 00:02:36.279
and I ask him,'What is Islam?',
and he would tell me what it is,

00:02:36.302 --> 00:02:39.057
just to praise Allah and he goes
to mosque instead of church,

00:02:39.069 --> 00:02:42.741
or you don't pray at all,
it's very good to learn stuff.

00:02:42.929 --> 00:02:47.120
For example, if I like
all different music,

00:02:48.038 --> 00:02:51.883
I like rap, R&B, etcetera,

00:02:52.043 --> 00:02:56.939
but in other cultures and communities,

00:02:57.097 --> 00:03:02.770
they might have different
points of view on their music,

00:03:02.811 --> 00:03:07.383
so bringing that together,
that comes to one identity.
