Language and culture

The language is the most important thing when studying cultures.
The language is the method to transport information. Languages change from one generation to the other.
During the 20th century, scientific researchers presented a thesis about how people listen to words and ignores other symbols (Gelles and Levine, 2000).
For example the word “SNOW” in English has only one meaning. However, for Eskimo people this same word has twenty different meanings.
In addition, other theories, like the one presented by Pierre Burdieu, explain the powers of the media and communication businesses.
For the gender subject language is essential. For example, Spanish has the gender within its roots; therefore, it is difficult to change and include the reference to women in the Spanish language.
We see how important language is for the entire social organization. It is the way we can communicate and therefore try to live in peace and survive in our society.

The wonderful concert of Escats

The wonderful concert of Escats
It was a great experience for me to be present at the concert of Escats. This group plays experimental art music.
This music has the power to get to my heart and soul. Escats represents in essence the culture of us as human beings.
They represent the feelings of love, passion, hope, among other feelings of men and women. Escats’ art is innovative, creative and experimental.
I can see that they have a great future with the emotional twist they have in their music. Another good thing is that it is all made in Costa Rica.

Staying Healthy

People around the world should know more about how to have a healthy lifestyle.
Through this course we saw how health is very important for our physical health and spirit.
For me being healthy makes me a stronger person with a better attitude.
A healthy life makes us have more hope and good humor. For example, being physically active, changing bad habits, having a healthy diet, having good sleep habits, among other things can help us have healthier lives.
I think it is also very important to have healthy relationships. This is only possible by keeping an active social life and spending time with family and friends.
The most important thing for me is to have a good spiritual life. This is what gives a person the peace and balance that are necessary to face life.
I recommend to all people to think about this topic.

Vacations around the world

Visiting California would be very exciting for me because this state has a history of fights for human rights of homosexual minorities.
This society is open to diversity and different races, nationalities, sexuality, gender equity, among others. Therefore, I think California is the most tolerant region in the world.
In addition, the travel package includes visits to places that are very interesting. For example visiting Hollywood would be a great experience for me because I love the seventh art.
The movies and film industry is my passion. One of my dreams has always been to work in this industry, but I have been unable to fulfill that dream.
Other interesting sites are Disneyland, the museums, and the shopping places. Those places would be a perfect complement for an unforgettable vacation.
The travel package includes the lodging for four nights and a bus tour.
Southern California has sunny and warm weather which is not new for me. And the most important fact is that the travel package is open for any time of the year.
