For the second project of this semester I will be researching various cultures around the world. I have decided to narrow my search down to 3 or 4 cultures. While researching online I came across a web page on BBCnews.com that focuses on different cultures around the world. What caught my attention about this site is that it doesn't only provided factual information but, also provides selected comments of viewers. While visiting the African web page in the same site, I found very interesting that most of the comments were from Africans themselves. The variety in cultures from one country to the next became evident as I read each comment. This made me see that it would be easier if I chose just one country in each of the regions I will be writing about. For example, Africa is a very large continent and it would be very difficult to condense all of its varied cultures into one.
Another region in that I am interested in writing about is Latin America. I will most likely be writing about culture in El Salvador since I have personal experience in that area. My parents are from El Salvador and I have visited the country with them on various occasions. This will be the first time I actually go out and research about Salvadoran culture so am very intrigued in what I will find in my search.
The third world region that I will focus on is North America, more specifically the US. This is the culture that I am most familiar with since I have lived here all of my life. Still it will be interesting to find out what other people think of the US, not just its politics but about the people that live here.I am still debating if I will include a fourth region but, for know this is what I will focus on.
