This is a clip from "No strings attached"
The characters, Adam & Emma came to a decision that they were going to begin a relationship, one in which the outcome was simply to meet there physical needs. In our culture, I would assume that Adam would be the one who is perceiving this relationship to be purely physical with no intention of creating an emotional tie to Emma. The reason I mention this is simply because that is what seems to be more common. However in this particular clip, it is Emma who is searching for the reward of having a simple, non committed relationship. I think because people can create their own idea of what a conversations outcome is, they don't feel the need to express what they mean in further detail because we feel that their is this unspoken common knowledge between one another. How this relates to our discussion in class is that different cultures I think have these preconceived ideas about something, or a way that things are done which is not the same as another cultures idea of it.
