Entry 6 - In class presentation on Culture

I learned that each country's culture is unique to each country.  Some countries place emphasis on material gains as other rely deeply on image.  It is evident that culture is formed by the geographic locations of each country.  In Columbia the higher up the mountain you go the more serious the people are.  In Italy the people in the town is not into the serious family life as those located in the countryside.  Culture plays a significant role in the way each country communicate within themselves or even with other countries.  In my opinion everyone should pay attention to this as it can make or break a friendship or even a business deal.  As i am studying at USC and have had the chance to meet a lot of nationals from other countries, i can now fully appreciate their choices, lifestyle and the way they operate.
