Read Live in New Zealand

Imagine traveling to a country that you never visited before. For the sake of this example, let us imagine this country is New Zealand.

First of all, find out on a world map where New Zealand is. Then tackle the following questions:

1. How do you learn the societal do’s and don’t s, some of which were outlined in Mr. Riccardi’s TEDx video you watched? For instance, do New Zealanders stand in a well-organized queue when waiting or not? Do they live in a strongly structured society (i.e. Norway) or in a society where rules are broken as easily as they are made (i.e. Italy?). Provide suitable examples and explanations.
2. What do you think are the historical reasons for the type of societal structure that exists in New Zealand?
