Learning Journal #4

It was very interesting to hear about the different cultural aspects of Korea, Turkey, Czech, and Portuguese during the presentations. Different countries have many unique aspects of culture that is not always apparent, such as food, clothing, dance, clothing, etc. I didn't quite understand how meaningful a drink or an item of clothing could be to a group of people, but these presentations made it clear that many people value things unique to their country. It made me think about certain aspects of American culture that I hold dear, and it's weird to think that some of our behavior would be just as strange to someone not from here as vice versa.
