Different cultures

It’s really interesting to admire the different manifestations of culture that can be. Since the languages until the way in that they move inside their territory, culture is the cleanest expression of the individual, and the community.

Languages can be one of the cultural phenomena most studied in the world. So, English is the language most expanded among the different countries actually, changing and adding a lot of concepts to the other languages. In China and USA, is clearly understandable the concept of “email”. On the other hand, since Tokyo until Temuco, “Sushi” is the word that represents the same idea of a compact meal.

 The previous phenomenon is caused for the Globalization Process. This has introduced a lot of changes in the international relationships and even in the internal structures politics, socials, economics, etc. of the countries. Thus, national cultures too have suffered changes. Paris is known for be a lush city, but didn´t scape to McDonald’s restaurants, the same case to Tokyo and every big city. However, globalization has given great benefits. The culture has become in something more accessible that in the past. Every people can visit the greatest Da Vinci’s pictures in Louvre, or travel on camel toward the Giza’s pyramids.  Globalization has reduced the distances among the countries, being enough 24 hours to be since Santiago to China. Also, the prices are cheaper, so that to a middle class person can travel if he/she propose it.

Christmas, a north European holiday has become in a global event, maybe the biggest happening every year. But, this contrasts with local holidays or events of each nation or country. Globalization also has stressed the differences among countries, regions or people. That causes people want to know other places and persons. Maybe to that is necessary leave the tourism circuits and to admire the places less visited.

To know the glamour of Mediterranean Sea, is better don’t go to Nice, Cannes or Marseille, and to prefer countries like Croatia, Albania or Montenegro.  Their culture is rich because mixed Latin and Slavs influences, giving to their cities an elegant aspect. On the other hand, to admire the most pure Chinese culture, is recommendable go out of the crowded cities and visit less explored zones like the interior riversides, especially on the most important rivers like the Blue and Yellow River.
