Culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything

from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Today, in the United States as
in other countries populated largely by immigrants, the culture is influenced by the many
groups of people that now make up the country.
Western culture
The term Western culture has come to define the culture of European countries as
well as those such as the United States that have been heavily influenced by European
immigration. Western culture has its roots in the Classical Period of the Greco-Roman era
and the rise of Christianity in the 14th century.
Other drivers of the Western culture include Latin, Celtic, Germanic and Hellenic
ethnic and linguistic groups. Today, the influences of Western culture can be seen in almost
every country in the world.
Eastern culture
Eastern culture generally refers to the societal norms of countries in Far East Asia
(including China, Japan, Vietnam, North Korea and South Korea) and
the Indian subcontinent. Like the West, Eastern culture was heavily influenced by religion
during its early development. In general, in Eastern culture there is less of a distinction
between secular society and religious philosophy than there is in the West.
The Definition Of Cross Cultural Understanding
Cross Cultural Understanding derived from three words that cross, cultural, and
understanding, of the three words different meanings. Understanding of the Cross is cross-
culture, the culture between both countries that lasted through the mass media or through
other means mutually influence each culture. Culture is the "glue" that binds a group of
people together. (Douglas-Brown, 1994). Culture is an Elusive construct Constantly that
shifts over time and According to Who is perceiving and interpreting it. (Linda Harklau-
1999). In Classic, the culture is Called culture, the which comes from the Latin word Colere,
the process or work. Can be also interpreted as to cultivate the land or farming. The word
culture is also sometimes translated as "culture" in Indonesian. Understanding Inter-Personal
(Interpersonal Understanding) is the desire to Understand others. It is the ability to listen and
accurately Understand the thoughts, feelings, other people's problems That can not be uttered
or not fully delivered. This competency measure complexity and depth of understanding of
other people, also including cross-cultural sensitivity.
So, the definitions of cross-cultural understanding are:
All human beings experience the same felling Plus They travel to or live in a different
country or culture. (Obeg, 1998)
Whenever someone goes overseas, He is like a fish out of water. (Mason, 2000)

Synopsis Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Flint Lockwood is a wannabe-scientist who lives in Swallow Falls, a tiny island in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean that has sardines as the base of its economy. Flint lives with
Tim, his widowed technophobic father who misunderstands his son's talent, and his pet
monkey, Steve. Despite Flint's zealous enthusiasm, his inventions, including spray-on shoes,
a remote controlled television, rat birds, hair-un-balder, and a flying car, all ended in failure.
One day, the Baby Brent Sardine cannery, the town's only source of revenue, closes
down, leaving the town only sardines for nourishment. Flint then invents a machine that
transforms water into food, called the "Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic
Food Replicator" (FLDSMDFR for short). Flint turns on the FLDSMDFR in his laboratory,
but ends up overloading the house's electrical supply. He then decides to power the machine
by hooking it up to a nearby power plant. When he turns the machine back on, it ends up
rocketing through town, causing various damage, ultimately shooting up into the sky. While
recovering from his failure, Flint meets Samantha "Sam" Sparks, a weather intern whose big
break was foiled by Flint's actions. Their conversation is cut short when rainbow colored
clouds float over the town and begin to rain cheeseburgers.
The town rejoices in their renewed food choices, and Flint creates a communication
device to send orders to the machine and order it to create different types of food. Swallow
Falls (now renamed Chewandswallow) suddenly becomes a successful "food tourism"
destination. Everything is going well until the townsfolk start greedily requesting food from
Flint's machine. Flint notices that the food is beginning to grow larger in size. Although he is
concerned that the food is starting to "over mutate", the now morbidly obese Mayor, sees it as
profitable for him and the city, and guilts Flint into continuing to make food rain.
Citizens and worldly tourists in Chewandswallow are blissful until suddenly a large
tornado formed of spaghetti and meatballs threatens the town. Flint rushes to his lab to turn
the FLDSMDFR off and attempts to send a "kill code" to stop the machine, but the Mayor
destroys the communication device before he can do it. With Flint unable to control the
machine, a massive food storm is created which threatens the world. When Flint's father
encourages him to fix the mess, Flint gains self-confidence, places the kill code in a USB
flash drive, and builds a new flying car to reach and deactivate the FLDSMDFR, with the aid
of Sam, her cameraman Manny, Steve and Brent.
As they approach the machine in the sky, they find that it is now at the core of a giant
meatball, where clouds go in the top and a food hurricane goes out the bottom which sends
sentient food to attack them. In the chaos, the flash drive with the kill code is sucked by the
wind out the window.
Back at Chewandswallow, the citizens and tourists escape as Mt. Leftovers collapses,
causing an avalanche of food that destroys the town. Despite the avalanche ravaging Flint's
Lab, Tim manages to re-send the kill code to Flint's cell phone from there. Flint then goes
inside the meatball, finds the machine, and connects the phone to the USB port. To his
frustration, Flint discovers that Tim sent him the wrong file, so he is unable to stop the
FLDSMDFR. Flint then uses his Spray-On Shoes formula on the machine and causes it to
explode. With the machine destroyed, the food storm subsides and everyone is able to return
safely to Chewandswallow. Tim finally shows his appreciation for his son and his inventions
before Flint and Sam celebrate with a kiss. Meanwhile, the obese mayor is seen stranded in
the middle of the sea, having eaten nearly all of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich boat,
while muttering that his plans were not well thought out.
During the credits, Mayor Shelbourne is shown slendered down and arrested.






















Synopsis movie Naruto the movie 6
The movie starts with a flashback of the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha, which then
flashes forward to the present timeline where the eight members of Akatsuki who are meant
to be dead, are actually alive and are battling the Konoha shinobi and this in-turn
unsettles Sakura.Shikamaru states there is no point in wondering why the dead are back alive
and quickly comes up with a counter plan, but Naruto quickly attacks Akatsuki head on,
forcing the rest of the Konoha 11 plus Sai, Kakashi and Guy to attack. The battle continues
until Naruto is caught by Kakuzu, Sai frees Naruto by cutting part of Kakuzu's arm off,
causing the Akatsuki to retreat. Naruto and his friends return home, where most of Naruto's
peers are congratulated by their families, all of whom promise to write a recommendation
letter for the promotion to becoming a jnin although Sakura has a little fight with her family
who embarrass her in front of the others. As Naruto returns home, he passes many families
causing him to reminisce of his father and mother causing him to feel lonely. Later while
eating at the Ichiraku Ramen, he meets Iruka. He then asks Iruka for a letter of
recommendation of his own, but Iruka refuses as Naruto is only a genin and must become
a chnin and rise through the ranks just as Minato and all other jnin did. Naruto is saddened
by his lonely lifestyle and so storms off saying that no one seems to understand him, and also
that he doesn't like the extra menma on his ramen (which adds to his present state of mind
and causes him to feel lonely). He meets Sakura, who had an argument with her family and
also stormed out, grabbing Naruto's hand and telling him to go on a date with her. While
Sakura complains about her family, Tobi appears in front of them and after a small scuffle, he
then activates the limited Tsukuyomi. Naruto and Sakura are absorbed in a flash of light, and
later find themselves still in the same park they were before with no signs of a fight
or Tobi himself.
They run into their friends including Sasuke, which surprises both Sakura and Naruto,
but with different personalities, and to add to the confusion, no one knows who Tobi is. They
realise they are in another world where Sakura's father was the Fourth Hokage, who saved the
village instead of Minato, and in this world Naruto is named Menma instead. As Naruto and
Sakura return home Sakura is happy for the new freedom she has, while Naruto hurries home
to his apartment hoping to see his parents, only to find he does not live there.
Meanwhile, in the present, Tobi reveals that the dead Akatsuki members in the
beginning were onlyZetsu clones. In the Genjutsu World, a man in a mask meets Tobi and
they agree to work together. Elsewhere, as Sakura is looking through her dresser, she sees the
Fourth Hokage coat that Naruto's father once wore in the present causing her to once again
realise that in this world, it was her father who was the hokage. She then meets Sasuke who
gives her a flower and flirts with her. Naruto and Sakura meet in the morning to try to gather
more information of their current world, although Sakura enjoys this world as she has more
freedom and is well loved by the village thanks to her father's actions. Naruto, on the other
hand, wants to return home as fast as possible.
Naruto and Sakura meet Tsunade and Shizune, who tell them that a masked man
attacked Kumogakure, and killed their jinchriki which Naruto and Sakura believe to have
been Tobi. They then meet Naruto's parents, who are alive in this world. Minato says
that Jiraiya died finding the Red Moon Scroll that was said to help save the world. Tsunade
lets Naruto and Sakura join Minato and Kushina on their mission when Kakashi and Guy
return. Sakura is shocked at finding out who Naruto's parents are, while Naruto is angry that
Tobi would dare to make copies of his dead parents, and he swears to break the Genjutsu.
While Sakura is still enjoying her life, she wonders how Naruto is doing. While Naruto
attempts to ignore his parents, he sees an album showing him how his life would have been if
his parents had been alive.
In the morning, Sakura notes that this world's Kakashi and Guy have switched
personalities, while Naruto isolates himself from his parents at every turn. They soon locate
where Jiraiya hid the scroll, but as the group stops to rest, Naruto charges ahead until he is
confronted by the appearance ofGamabunta, Gamahiro and Gamaken. They refuse to listen to
Naruto and the group who explains their reason for being there and attacks them with an
army of frogs. Naruto attempts to enter Sage Mode, but while trying to gather enough energy,
Kushina interferes and tries to protect him from Gamabunta but a shot of acid burns her leg.
As a result, Naruto gets distracted and is unable to enter sage mode. Minato then saves both
of them quickly and is able to get the scroll, dispelling the Summoning Technique.
As Sakura heals Kushina, Naruto still attempts to brush off his parents, causing
Minato to say no matter what Naruto does, they will always try to save him as that's what
they naturally tend to do as parents. Kushina then awakens and hugs Naruto, causing him to
breakdown in tears and finally accept them as his parents. They return to Konoha, where
Tsunade locks the scroll in the village's safe until the night when a red moon will appear,
when they can use the scroll to fulfil the said prophecy. As Naruto and Sakura walk home
together, Naruto quickly runs home saying he has something to do, leaving Sakura alone.
Sakura now finds her home too lonely and wonders if Naruto's always felt this way. As she
walks down town she sees happy families, only making her more sad. She then realises that
this world's Sasuke is just a flirt as she sees him flirting with a group of girls and decides that
Naruto was right on his decision to quickly break the genjutsu they're now trapped in and
wishes to return to their own world. As she walks to Naruto's home to try to find a way to
break the genjutsu, she see how happy Naruto is and wonders if they really should leave.
Sakura later meets Naruto, and asks him if he wants to stay. Although he denies it, he later
thinks to himself that he truly does not want to leave.
At that moment an explosion occurs at the Hokage's office, where the masked man
from earlier asks for the scroll they brought back. He overpowers Minato, Kushina, and
Tsunade, and then Naruto and Sakura arrive. They realise that this was the man Tsunade was
talking about, and that he knows Tobi. He overpowers Naruto and Sakura, and kidnaps
Sakura in exchange for the scroll. He then uses Great Spiralling Ring, destroying a large part
of Konoha and leaves. Naruto tries to save Sakura, but Minato prevents him, showing that in
the end this world's Minato is different from his father. He takes one ofMinato's kunai and the
scroll leaving with Sakura's father's Hokage coat. Sakura is tied up and meets Tobi who is a
ghost saying they are in an old training ground that Minato and Jiraiya used. Naruto arrives
but is attacked by the other masked man asking for the scroll. Naruto is unable to fight
properly as his stomach acts up, the Masked Man then takes the time to summon the Nine
Masked Beasts, and about to kill Naruto when the Akatsuki arrives and saved him.
This Akatsuki was hired by Tsunade to help Naruto, and they deal with the masked
beasts when Naruto attacks the masked man. Itachi saves Sakura and Tobi decides to escape
instead. The Akatsuki defeats the masked beasts that turn into nine fox kits, while Naruto
chased the masked man into the training grounds. They then fight, Naruto uses Sage
Mode and uses the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken to counter the Masked Man's Great
Spiralling Ring. It ends in a draw, but the attack destroy the masked man's mask, showing
that he is Menma, this world's Naruto. Menma informs Naruto that the pulsating inside his
stomach must be Kurama's reaction to the Black Nine-Tails within Menma. Menma then
called back the defeated masked beasts, and summoned Kurama's counterpart, the Black
Nine-Tails. Naruto was unable to attack, while the Akatsuki retreat, taking Sakura with them.
Not wanting to be manipulated by the Sharingan again, Kurama makes a truce with Naruto to
work together, allowing him to summon Kurama out of his body. In the battle Naruto is
barely able to win, but Tobi reveals that this was his plan, to have Naruto and Menma fight,
as doing so would cause the two foxes to fight and weaken Kurama. As he possessed Menma,
Kurama warned Naruto if he looked into Menma's Sharingan, it would be all over, for Tobi
planned to extract Kurama out of Naruto the same way he extracted it from Kushina sixteen
years ago. As Menma overpowers Naruto, the latter tries to use the scroll when he notices the
moon had turned red, but Menma cuts the scroll, causing Naruto to look into Menma's eyes.
Naruto's memories are erased, but Sakura rescues him before Kurama is extracted from him.
Naruto, in an amnesiac stupor, stares at the destroyed Red Moon Scroll, which brings
back memories of his training to learn the Rasengan with Jiraiya, and how his father was the
one who invented the technique. Naruto is able to break free of the genjutsu just in time to
save Sakura, and then defeats Tobi the same way his father did, breaking the Limited
Tsukuyomi. Tobi, using his ghost body, attacks again, until Minato and Kushina arrive. Tobi
decides to give up and exits the genjutsu world just as Naruto and Sakura are enveloped in a
bright light, preparing to return to their world as well, but beforehand Naruto thanks Minato
and Kushina who quickly goes to assist Menma who is returning to his original state as their
son. Naruto and Sakura returns to their world, where Naruto's Hokage coat breaks down since
it was only part of the genjutsu world and not real. Naruto and Sakura tell Tsunade and
Kakashi of what transpired and sets out more guard patrol since Tobi was easily able to enter
further in the village than they imagined. Shizune also brings up the topic of the letters of
recommendation from the beginning of the movie, to which Tsunade replies that she has no
intention of promoting any of Naruto's friends to jnin. As they both return home, Naruto
watches Sakura as she meets her parents, happily hugging them. He approaches her, asking
her out on a date, but Sakura tells him they just came back from the longest date ever, much
to Naruto's shock. As Naruto goes home, he sees Iruka in his house, waiting to apologise to
him. Afterwards, Naruto happily jumps roof top to roof top through the village while quoting
that the road of a ninja is one who endures. After the credits, the sign in Ichikaru Ramen
where it says "menma" is changed.
