Good afternoon colleagues, my idea for the theme of the script will be

a trip among friends to European culture, where we could test our variety of languages ​​and dialects learned, for example Rome, France and AMSTERDAM, where each of us expresses the positive and negative things of our culture.

I look forward to your news. Thank you for your time.

Good morning classmates and tutor

My suggestion for this part will be to either dig deep into France, maybe we are Spanish language teachers in an academic exchange program and we have a lot of cultural shocks regarding the culture. Or maybe to try something a lot more different. I was considering the south Korean culture, south Korea is a beautiful and complex country and culture and also very different from ours. Based on the guide an the webconference I understand that we must talk about all the most relevant and interesting aspects of the culture. Let me know what you think!

Greetings, team. My proposal for the culture to be chosen for the development of the rest of the activity would be the culture of New Zealand. This culture is a very interesting choice. It is characterized by the rich indigenous heritage of the Māori people, their traditions, art, and the later European influence. It is home to over 160 languages, reflecting the wide array of ethnic and cultural groups within the country. The primary cultural influences come from both European and Māori heritage, but there is also presence of Pacific Islanders and other immigrant communities.

Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, is considered one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. The city’s superdiversity creates both opportunities and challenges, particularly in addressing language issues. Recent discussions advocate for a national language policy to better support multilingualism, recognizing the value of languages like Te Reo Māori, endangered Pacific languages, and other community language.

My suggestion for the culture to explore is that of New Orleans, as I have had a deep interest for years in learning more about this city, its culture, and everything that surrounds it, particularly its folklore and legends.

New Orleans is a city with an impressive cultural diversity, blending Spanish, French, African, and Caribbean traditions. This mix has made the city a place rich in different cuisines, music, beliefs, and architecture.

One of the city's most important festivals, Mardi Gras, finds its roots in French Catholicism. However, it also has older influences from pagan celebrations of fertility and renewal, which the city adapted into a grand celebration with parades, music, and masquerades that showcase all the cultures present in New Orleans.

Another major festival is the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which is considered a cultural treasure of the city. This festival attracts numerous artists and music lovers. It’s no wonder New Orleans is considered the birthplace of jazz, a genre deeply connected to the city. Jazz emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily promoted by the African American communities of New Orleans, and took shape by blending elements of blues, ragtime, African music, and spirituals.

Finally, one of the things that fascinates me most about this city is its legends and how it is surrounded by stories of witches, magic, and voodoo. Voodoo in New Orleans, known as Louisiana Voodoo, is very present in the city and has its roots in African religions brought by enslaved people, later fusing with French Catholicism and Indigenous traditions.

My proposal for this part is about the country of South Korea, since in general it has several aspects that I like and that catch my attention, such as its fashion, gastronomy, music which is K-pop, which I like to listen to; I also like the series that are made there, I consider that its language stands out quite a bit and it would be good to go deeper into it since it has characteristic aspects like any other language and it would be good for us all to know a little more about what South Korea can offer us.

Relief

Geologically, South Korea consists in large part of Precambrian rocks (i.e., more than about 540 million years old) such as granite and gneiss. The country is largely mountainous, with small valleys and narrow coastal plains. The T'aebaek Mountains run in roughly a north-south direction along the eastern coastline and northward into North Korea, forming the country's drainage divide. From them several mountain ranges branch off with a northeast-southwest orientation. The most important of these are the Sobaek Mountains, which undulate in a long S-shape across the peninsula. None of South Korea's mountains are very high: the T'aebaek Mountains reach an elevation of 5,604 feet (1,708 metres) at Mount Sŏrak in the northeast, and the Sobaek Mountains reach 6,283 feet (1,915 metres) at Mount Chiri. The highest peak in South Korea, the extinct volcano Mount Halla on Cheju Island, is 6,398 feet (1,950 metres) above sea level.

South Korea has two volcanic islands-Cheju (Jeju), off the peninsula's southern tip, and Ullŭng, about 85 miles (140 km) east of the mainland in the East Sea-and a small-scale lava plateau in Kangwŏn province. In addition, South Korea claims and occupies a group of rocky islets-known variously as Liancourt Rocks, Tok (Dok) Islands (Korean), and Take Islands (Japanese)-some 55 miles (85 km) southeast of Ullŭng Island; these islets also have been claimed by Japan.

There are fairly extensive lowlands along the lower parts of the country's main rivers. The eastern coastline is relatively straight, whereas the western and southern have extremely complicated ria (i.e., creek-indented) coastlines with many islands. The shallow Yellow Sea and the complex Korean coastline produce one of the most pronounced tidal variations in the world-about 30 feet (9 metres) maximum at Inch'ŏn (Incheon), the entry port for Seoul.

Drainage

South Korea's three principal rivers, the Han, Kŭm, and Naktong, all have their sources in the T'aebaek Mountains, and they flow between the ranges before entering their lowland plains. Nearly all the country's rivers flow westward or southward into either the Yellow Sea or the East China Sea; only a few short, swift rivers drain eastward from the T'aebaek Mountains. The Naktong River, South Korea's longest, runs southward for 325 miles (523 km) to the Korea Strait. Streamflow is highly variable, being greatest during the wet summer months and considerably less in the relatively dry winter.

Soils

Most of South Korea's soils derive from granite and gneiss. Sandy and brown-coloured soils are common, and they are generally well-leached and have little humus content. Podzolic soils (ash-gray forest soils), resulting from the cold of the long winter season, are found in the highlands.

Climate

The greatest influence on the climate of the Korean peninsula is its proximity to the main Asian landmass. This produces the marked summer-winter temperature extremes of a continental climate while also establishing the northeast Asian monsoons (seasonal winds) that affect precipitation patterns. The annual range of temperature is greater in the north and in interior regions of the peninsula than in the south and along the coast, reflecting the relative decline in continental influences in the latter areas.

South Korea's climate is characterized by a cold, relatively dry winter and a hot, humid summer. The coldest average monthly temperatures in winter drop below freezing except along the southern coast. The average January temperature at Seoul is in the low 20s °F (about −5 °C), while the corresponding average at Pusan (Busan), on the southeast coast, is in the mid-30s °F (about 2 °C). By contrast, summer temperatures are relatively uniform across the country, the average monthly temperature for August (the warmest month) being in the high 70s °F (about 25 °C).

Annual precipitation ranges from about 35 to 60 inches (900 to 1,500 mm) on the mainland. Taegu, on the east coast, is the driest area, while the southern coast is the wettest; southern Cheju Island receives more than 70 inches (1,800 mm) annually. Up to three-fifths of the annual precipitation is received in June-August, during the summer monsoon, the annual distribution being more even in the extreme south. Occasionally, late-summer typhoons ( tropical cyclones) cause heavy showers and storms along the southern coast. Precipitation in winter falls mainly as snow, with the heaviest amounts occurring in the T'aebaek Mountains. The frost-free season ranges from 170 days in the northern highlands to more than 240 days on Cheju Island.

The most interesting part of the exercise, in my opinion, was learning how historical tradition influences present-day culture. When studying French culture, it is possible to highlight certain aspects that still feel intact. Despite the passage of time and generational changes, culture evolves but remains deeply rooted in traditions and preconceptions that shape what is considered French.

Discuter de la culture française, surtout après un spectacle, peut aborder à la fois les aspects positifs et négatifs. Une analyse structurée de ces dimensions est présentée ci-dessous.

Aspects positifs de la culture française

1. Richesse culturelle et créativité

La culture française est reconnue pour sa diversité et sa richesse, qui se manifestent dans diverses disciplines comme le cinéma, la musique et les arts visuels. Des films comme Amélie et le succès de musiciens comme Daft Punk reflètent la capacité de la France à influencer la culture mondiale.

La musique contemporaine, en particulier des genres tels que le hip hop et la musique électronique, a permis aux artistes français d'aborder des questions sociales et culturelles, contribuant ainsi à un dialogue plus large sur l'identité nationale.

2. Diplomatie culturelle

La France utilise sa culture comme un outil diplomatique, promouvant sa langue et ses traditions à l'échelle internationale. Cela se fait à travers un réseau d'institutions éducatives et culturelles qui encouragent l'apprentissage du français et l'appréciation de son patrimoine culturel.

Les événements culturels comme la Fashion Week de Paris célèbrent non seulement la mode, mais positionnent également la France comme un leader des tendances mondiales.

.

3. Identité nationale

La culture française est profondément liée à son histoire et à ses valeurs, créant un sentiment d'appartenance parmi ses citoyens. Les célébrations nationales et les exploits sportifs sont largement couverts par les médias, renforçant ainsi la fierté nationale.

Aspects négatifs de la culture française

1. Exclusivité et élitisme

Malgré sa richesse culturelle, il existe une perception d'élitisme dans certaines sphères culturelles françaises. L'accès à certaines expressions artistiques peut être limité par des facteurs économiques ou sociaux, qui peuvent éloigner des secteurs de la population.

2. Débats sur l'identité

L’identité culturelle française est confrontée à des défis dans un monde globalisé. L'influence des cultures étrangères peut générer des tensions internes sur ce que signifie être français aujourd'hui, en particulier dans des contextes où des questions telles que l'immigration et l'intégration culturelle sont abordées.

3. Critiques de la représentation

Certaines critiques suggèrent que les représentations culturelles pourraient ne pas refléter adéquatement la diversité de la société française contemporaine. Cela est évident dans le domaine musical et artistique, où certains genres ou styles peuvent dominer sur d’autres, laissant peu de place aux voix alternatives.

Conclusion

La culture française est un phénomène complexe qui offre à la fois des opportunités et des défis. Sa capacité à influencer le monde et à promouvoir un sentiment d’identité nationale est remarquable ; Cependant, il fait également face à des critiques liées à l’élitisme et aux tensions identitaires dans un contexte multiculturel. Ces dynamiques doivent être prises en compte lors de la réflexion sur les expériences vécues lors d’un spectacle lié à cette riche tradition culturelle.

It was interesting to learn more about the culture of France, as it is remarkable that French culture and language have maintained their essence over time, despite modernity. The rich history of the country is still present in its streets, monuments and the way the French express themselves and live their daily lives. The historical influence on fashion, architecture and gastronomy is still present, and it is evident how the French are proud of their past, integrating it into their contemporary life.
