I find it applies to expats and non expats alike. Basically, it's about how our social culture and interactions are changing before our very own eyes and how this affect us as a civilization but also depending our culture. I think this is an interesting subject and one that boggles my mind more often than not. One of the things I've come to understand in recent years is that the hardest thing to change is human behavior. People often complain about how hard it is to adopt a healthier lifestyle, overcome bad addictions, change social patterns, adopt a different corporate culture, implement a greener attitude...... such changes involve a change in human behavior and everyone agrees that this requires a titanic effort.
And yet, this clip shows how slowly yet steadily, human behavior is changing without us even realizing it!..... except is it in the right direction????
If you have 10 minutes to spare and are interested in topics that keep your mind busy long after you've read or heard about them, then I recommend you watch this.
If you don't have the 10 minutes to spare, then you should definitely watch this!!

Thanks for sharing this, I was just yesterday trying to explain to a friend on facebook why I wanted to move to Mexico, and all I could think to say was that life is slower, and somehow there is less stress.
LOVE this video. That is absolutely fascinating.
LJK; Hey there girl!! Long time for sure! How are things going? Look forward to catching up indeed! =)
Mama of 4: It's really something trying to explain the different rhythms of life of different countries. You would think Paris is a face paced city compared to Mexico, but then you come here in August and the atmosphere seems much lazier than a beach in Huatulco! I guess it's mostly a culture thing, but yeah... life in Mexico, compared to most places is somehow much less stressed, it's the "ni modo" motto I guess! LOL
Kyle: Glad you liked it girl!
