Cultural Aspects Of Colombian Culture

153 Words1 Page

I have shared several aspects of Colombian culture with the UNF community, mainly with other Bio/Chem majors whom I study with. First, I have introduced my study groups to Colombian cuisine. Not only have I described the difference in cuisine throughout Colombia, but I have taken some of my friends to local Colombian Restaurants. Additionally, I have introduced them to Colombian music, such as Carlos Vives, and have taught some members of my study groups how to dance. Most importantly though, I have gotten people excited about Colombia, especially Bogota. I have presented life in the city through a variety of spectrums, such as its diversity and spontaneity to its horrible traffic and tumultuous nature. In fact, I have had some of my friends

  • Cultural Differences: Similarities Between Spanish And Native Americans

    1187 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the 16th Century, Spain became one of the European forces to reckon with. To expand even further globally, Spanish conquistadors were sent abroad to discover lands, riches, and North America and its civilizations. When the Spanish and Native American groups met one another, they judged each other, as they were both unfamiliar with the people that stood before them. The Native American and Spanish views and opinions of one another are more similar than different because when meeting and getting to know each other, neither the Spaniards nor the Native Americans saw the other group of people as human. Both groups of people thought of one another as barbaric monsters and were confused and amazed by each other’s cultures.

  • Daily Life In The Incan Civilization Essay

    998 Words  | 4 Pages

    There was a wide variety of jobs in the Inca Civilization, though the dominant occupation was farming and the people did not have much say in what job they performed (“Daily Life in the Inca Empire”). First of all, there were many government jobs in the civilization, such as the Sapa Inca, nobles, or administrators; however most ordinary civilians could not perform the most important jobs as it was required that the person who did them be of original Inca descent, meaning their ancestors originated from the capital city of Cusco (“Daily Life in the Inca Empire”). Citizens could, however be administrators who managed and supervised life in specific areas of the land (“Daily Life in the Inca Empire”). People could also be artisans, who were craftsmen that worked with a variety of materials including silver, gold, bronze, and copper (Ellis and Esler 198-199). These artisans created many different types of objects that could range from simple tools to statues of the gods (Ellis and Esler 198-199).

Francis I met over swim class this fall at UH recreation center, so I came to the conclusion to pick two people I didn’t really know to ask these questions for this paper.

  • My Hispanic Culture

    1795 Words  | 8 Pages

    The pressures of disabling the patriarchy and accommodating it to fit everyone has been the basis of my childhood. From growing up in a Hispanic culture to exploring the American culture I have learned to love, it’s difficult not to notice the differences between each culture. I had always been a fan of media and the females I saw on television were one of the first perceptions of women I had. The way females were treated in the shows and movies I watched reflected the Hispanic culture I grew up in, so I never questioned the credibility. I am immensely proud of my hispanic culture and the traditions it brings along with it, but I started to notice the harsh gender restrictions that were present.

I appreciate the difficulties my parents have faced to make me the person that I am today even though I wasn’t born in Mexico my parents have taught me the language and the culture which I’m so proud of being part of.
