Question

We are having this as a choice in this week, and it is basically the same conference as we had seen before, but students will often tell me that they wish they had the opportunity to explore more world cultures, so we are opening up this once more. Now for our world tours, minus airport hassles, ridiculous prices. On your own terms, let's head of to another cultural field trip around the world!

And now.....pick a country, and country-and share any 4 aspects of the culture that you think are noteworthy and are worth sharing with the class. The world consists of history as well as modern life, and the interwovenness of both as well. So you can see history in action, life in progress across the globe, with unique specialities of each culture. Each one less than 3 minutes in length, yet fascinating, vibrant and full of information power!!

Here are a few videos and links, but you can find your own as well, if you like. Just remember, as always, we are merely reporting, not judging, as each culture is unique and we are scientists, reporting as befits an upper class college classroom. Sorry I can't get rid of the annoying ads...
