The video and the lyrics of the music give us an idea of their culture, because they transmit what they are living everyday and the way they keep a relationship between each other.

What different point of view do we see in this story?
In this story we can see two different points of view. One of these is the black man who is just trying to help and do what he uses to everyday to get some money. And the other point of view is the white man, he is trying to do his work too. He just want some peace and the black man is anoying him without intention.

Explain the reasons behind the miscommunication that occurred between these two men.
The reason why these two men have the miscommunication is because they belong to differents countries and they are just doing what they usually do in their town. Also, they are from differents social classes and it is difficult to each one understand the actions of the other.
