Culture is about TRADITION

Different topics that we have been talking about in class make me reflect about what we are talking about when we talk about the culture of a country and at the same time if this is the kind of culture that we are working at class.

I've trying to establish a relation between both, but is difficult. I still thinking that we are what we are in consequence of our culture. This culture, the place, the weather, the lenguage, the costums... this is determining us since we are born.

So... can be the culture understood as the tradition of a place?????
Once again I would show it through and advertaisement... which is this... Don't forget to see it. Is about Catalonia, my country!!!!!

Well, throughout advertisements like this we see some characteristics of differente cultures, in this case Catalan culture. But, this kind of publicity not only shows the beautiful face of a country. In those adversisements also appears stereotipes (some day I will talk about them because is a part of culture) .

Culture, tradition and stereotipes are a whole that the publicity uses with different aims: humor, turism or promote patriotism...

Let's see some of them
