Types of cultural diversity in the movie; there were different types of culture; the woman from Germany brought the blind kids in Tibet. The blind Erik from the United States planned and insisted to take the kids to the top of Everest. Both the woman and Erik are Christian in contrast to the people of Tibet based on Buddhism who believe that blindness is a kind of God punishment from a previous life . Erik wants to prove the blindness can't be an obstacle to achieve goals.
Challenges people in the movie encounter; all the people in the movie have faced challenges while climbing Everest which is the lack of O2. Erik lost his mother and got blind when he a was child. The blind kids from Tibet have faced the blindness since the birth. Climbing the top of Everest with most of them blind is considered the biggest challenge in the movie.
Stereotyping/bias/prejudice/discrimination; bad treatment that Tashi had in Tibet from other kids and the burns on his body and Tashi thought he couldn’t join the trip because he is originally from China which was completely not true that’s why he hid the truth. The kid who was with the Chinese family is getting beaten when he doesn’t get or bring enough money from begging.
A challenge caused by personality, rather than culture; the bad treatment that Tash has received and the Chinese couple who beat the blind beggar; all of these could be done by personality rather than culture.
What benefits are there for the people in the movie as a result of their differing cultures; the girl from Tibet is going to have an English course and Tashi found his family with a lot of help from the group.
