This TED talk [1] about seeing how the rest of the world lives was very insightful for me. Anna Rosling Rönnlund (Hans Rosling's daughter in law) went to 264 homes of varying income levels and took photos of beds, stoves, toys and other standardized goods. When sorting by income level, you can spot globalized trends by income regardless of nationality.

- aphx 8y agoOh yeah, Dollar Street (what that talk is based on) is a great project! "In the news people in other cultures seem stranger than they are. We visited 264 families in 50 countries and collected 30,000 photos. We sorted the homes by income, from left to right." https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/matrix https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/matrix
