Week 4
This week we talked about topics like culture and stereotypes. Different theories about what culture is were studied. The main one and the one i think is the one that most fits my position is the theory of Clifford Geertz that says that culture is developed by humans the same as a spider develops a spider web and the one of Claude Levi Strauss who also says that culture is the residues of rules of traditions acquired in the different types of social structure through which each human group has passed.
Then we talked about stereotypes and we agreed that a stereotype is a generalization of values and attitudes from one person you know to the whole group that person belongs to. For example, you meet a Chinese and he is very intelligent, then you would think that all Chinese people are intelligent.

We also practiced for our listening test next week watching videos about different cultures, manners and verbal expressions across different cultures and listening skills.
