Our group was struggling on how communicating by dancing with people creates peace. Then we searched people trying to learn other people's cultural dancing and we found many pictures. We chose this one because we thought that this picture really showed the communication between the people teach and learning. Even though maybe they don't speak the same language. Even though they have different cultures and they look different they can communicate and teach/learn together.
Analysis:
This picture is a perfect example communication by dancing. The foreigners were visited Ghana and were trying to learn their cultural dance. As shown in the picture, all the people were smiling and entertaining themselves. This explains how people are having fun and staying peaceful by learning dance and dancing together. In addition, even though their cultures and looks were different, they still tried to learn/teach the dance. two things that make peace between the teachers and the students is for the students to understand the teacher and have a good time. If they are not having a good time then they will not learn as much. the same thing happens if the students do not understand, because then they will not have that much fun and they will not lear as much. In addition, if they weren't entertaining, there could be some arguments or fights that cause them into conflict. In addition, the buildings in picture were very old and broken and the people were not wearing shoes, or really nice clothes. Even though they were in a very bad situation, they were trying their best to stay happy.
The connotation of the picture is that you don't have to be rich or popular to harmonize the society. It's also important to recognize that people in different societies can come together and enjoy dancing.
