1. Create your blog page. http://www.wordpress.com and write an introduction about yourself.

I´m camilo, i´m 20 years old, i´m study business administration and i like to know how is the culture in another countries because i dont know much about that

2. You will be given a culture to study. Brainstorm ideas related to the iceberg. What do you think the people and place look like?

I will talk about French culture: In France are a lot of festival and activities that the tourist can do, museums that the people can visit and a lot of things who are very interesting, in the other way, France are a country who have people of different religions, have differents visions about the life, have a good sistem of goverment and justice and that is very important in a developed country. Other interest thing is the treatment. french people have good treatment with other people if this people are very good with them and the most important thing is that french are very respectful in the moment when you talk with theirs. most people thinks that French are arrogants and that are not true, only is another way to understand the things and are a another culture with different perception about and the deepest part of the iceberg are more important or more popular in the french culture

. (Brainstorm ideas about French people).

3. Think about stereotypes. Draw a person from the chosen culture. What do they do? How do they look?

4. Homework: Upload your drawing as your first blog post. Write a paragraph explaining the stereotypes mentioned in the drawing. What are they? Where did these ideas come from?

French people have some stereotypes who most of the people believe that this are true, and not all of that stereotypes are true. All of that stereotypes are very popular in most of the countries, but most of the people doesn´t know how of that are true or false. all of that ideas come from me because i had other perception about french people in the past, and know i can conclude that not all of the ideas that i write before are true, because are more french people that are sociable with other people, specially if you are from another country, most of them are clean people, its false that all the french people are dirty and are so workers sometimes. the stereotypes are not good for any culture because you describe negatives conceptions about that culture.

Based on what is learned in class, brainstorm what you think you know about gender roles in the other culture? Write 3 questions with information you want to find out about gender roles in that culture.

1. French women has more acceptance to their own body. that shocks me because in Colombia, the women are not to have the same acceptance to their body because their preffer to have more privacy and have other perceptions. 2. French women tend to be fashionist because they like to wear new styles and to use a lot of clothes. 3. French women want to do they want because French women can do everything and can work in the career that they want. 4. French women are less affective with the people that colombian women. ¿what types of careers prefers french women?. ¿what are the family in France?. ¿what are the situation of women in politics in France?

Homework: Write comparative paragraph of your culture and theirs in terms of gender stereotypes.

France and Colombia are different countries and have different perception about the gender roles, rights, etc. In Colombia most people thinks especifically people from village that the women will be work in the house and attend the childrens because are traditional people and in some times dont understand the changes in thats perspective. In France the people believe more in the equality in men and women and dont have problems is a person who as a director in a company are men and women because doesnt matter the sex of the person, the only important in that case is the capacity of that person and that is good for a society. Colombian women have the same rights and opportunities yet, but has some problems in some women that sometimes dont have the possibilities to work in a complete journey because have childrens and need to attend the home responsabilities and their childrens. In France most of the women can work and take care about the others responsabilities. Colombia have inequality in the politic because most of the women doesnt get elected in a public charge because the conception of women and most of the people doesnt elected women for politic. France has some women in politic and has more equality in that area. Women in Colombia get access to the university and maybe have the possibility to obtain a degree, but in the moment that they go to work, is more difficult to get an important charge in some companies because the idea of the men are more preparated to that charge and have more leadership in the companies. In France are more women in important charges, but today no have a completely equality in this area because are more men in that charges, but in France are more women in that charges than Colombia. France has a liberal culture and the people respect the ideas who have all the people independly of their believes. In Colombia are more stigmas with some moral themes and are more difficult to understand some things that in france are normal.

Upload blog/vlog post about scores and any similarities/major differences with Colombia and why they think that is.

In this photo, i will compare the cultures of two countries and i will explain the similarities and differences.

Colombia and France in terms of power distance are very similar because are some people that are rich and some that are poor, and not all the people have the same money and the gap between rich and poor people are very high. France are more individualist than Colombia because more people has more focus on their future plans and are more independent and a earlier age, In contrast, Colombia are more colectivist because in our society, the opinion of the people take more importance and the idea to only be focus on your plan are less because the people want to work with other people and to share their goals with others to. France are more a feminity society than masculinity because the people are more interest in cooperated with other in some situation, in contrast, Colombia are more a masculinity society because the people compete with others to get a specific thing specifically in the work, to get a high charge.
Colombia are a society with uncertainly avoidance because are rules or perception for everyhting. most of the people are expressed their opinions and beliefs, the rules not always be follow for every people and the perception about the work are very different for every people, France has a high uncertainly avoidance too, but the people i think are more liberal, not always follow all the rules and the perception about the life are more different than Colombia, and more topics or themes that the people talk are less taboo than in our country.
In Colombia have a small long term because the society are not interest in planning for the future, they always think in the present or for the moment, In contrast France has a highest long term because the people plaining better for the future and are more interest in how are there doing in some years and business in France are better than Colombia because their work better.
Colombia is an indulgent country because the people don´t have a restrict behavior in some ways for example, the people can wear they want, and are more flexible in things for example to be unpuntual in a reunion, in contrast, the french people are less indulgent because they assume the problem in a different way and they need to be more cordial with the people and always trait with respect people that they don´t know, french people are more serious in other ways for example in the organization, they only be happy if the situation are good and control better their impulses than Colombian people. Both Colombia and France has some things that are similar, but Colombia and France are different countries with a different perception about the life and this is the idea to know how Colombia and France are in common and how differences has.

Brainstorm – what type of culture do you think your chosen country is likely to be regarding the Lewis Model? Why do you think so?

France is a multi-active society because the people can live their lives in a good way, French people are more flexible in terms of puntuality if you go to a visit, work, etc and French people has a particular sense of humor that are very unique. that things are from people who live in multi-active societies.

Homework: research which culture type your chosen country is, then explain what problems a person from that culture might come across if they were to do a study abroad here in Barranquilla and why in relation to the model. To be done as blog or vlog post.

The country that i´m choose is France. France is a multi-active society for some reason that i will explain in this blog. French people are very polite and kind with all the people and threat other people with some respect. People from Barranquilla are don´t polite with some people and no have a specific trait with people who need to trait with modals and respect, this things are very irregular from french people because they trait with respect and modals all the people even their friends or family. French people are ver independent in some aspects in their lives, they want to live alone with friends, want to work in a early age most of them and have good vacations all the years. People for Barranquilla are some people independent, but are people that don´t want to assume their responsability in a specific time or in the moment they need to do, they assume their responsabilities when the people want to do that, French people are amazed with that for of life because they enjoy the life as people from Barranquilla or Colombia, but they assume their responsabilities in the moment they need to do and planifiy their future very well than the people from Barranquilla. French people has a multi-active system of organization, but do the things better and has more organization that people who lives in Barranquilla. French people are more open mind to talk about some topics that are very controversial, in other side people for Barranquilla never talk about topics who are refer to religion, sexuality, etc because are more prejudice about this topics, for a french people that are very frustating because they can´t talk some themes with people who are from Barranquilla. Both cultures are multi-active cultures, French people are more organize and preparated in some ways on the life that people for Barranquilla, but one thing in common is that French and people from Barranquilla, enjoy the life with pássion and this is important in a society, to do the things with passion in the life.
