Week summaries

Week four summary

This week we make the debates,they were all very good and almost everyone give consistent and valid arguments, so it was a very good instance to practise what we learnt about language and also our speaking skills. This week we start the study of culture and it characteristics. We define culture like all the features that are common of a group of people, that characterise them. We learn a lo t of new terms and what do they mean, like for example low and high culture that for me was wrong because every single act we have in common with other is culture and is not determined by like social and economical status.Also we realise that there are no cultures better than others, they are just different and unique. We saw the term stereotype which is to generalise on a culture, like for example: "Russians are Communist". From this, on April I do a presentation about stereotypes and how they cause misunderstandings
