hello!..... I have been discussing about the importance of non verbal comunication the last few days. and I have also been questiong either they can be faked or not. did you know that the non verbal communication represent the 93 % of the message you are trying to transmit?. Well it does, actually your comunication depends on three important aspects which are: yout one of voice, body lenguage, and what you actually say. Non verbal comunication y very important because its how you complement what you are saying, and you have to be very carefull about it because if you dont show with your body what you are saying you will confuse the person you are talking to. its like when you are talking woth the guy you like, and you want to be as natuarl as possible but your body dont help you with the work. you will look uncomfortable. some say that facial expressions can not be faked, but i still think they can. Think about it for a minute... When you are seeing a mocie you dont actually think on the actor, you think on the character he or she represents, and maybe they are uncomfortable with the scene, but they dont actually look uncomfortable, its very natural, and they are absolutely faked. we need to pay more attention to our body lenguage and to how we look, because thats what people see of us, and dont forget that actions speak more than words.

Hello! On this opportunity I’m going to talk about the Egyptian Christians, who are a subculture in Egypt. They represent just the 10% of the population because the majority of Egyptians are Muslims. They are also known as Copts.  Although they come from the time of pharaohs, their actual situation is very dire, because, they are consistently destitute of basic human and civil rights. The Egyptian government over the years has a deliberate strategy that denies Copts economic, educational and social opportunities, governmental representation. Copts are rarely allowed to stand in the courts, they are not allowed to construct or even repair churches without  governmental permission.  I think everyone must have their own beliefs and rights because, that must not depend on what you believe or think. We all are humans and we deserved to be treated as that despite all things.

Hi! i would like to comment a beautiful movie i saw last week that definitely show me the difficulties we can find when we meet people that belong to a nother culture. This movie was My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
There was this Greek - American woman that felt in love with an american man, as we have seen in class when we talk about culture we talk about customs, traditions, food and life style. When we meet people we want to share all our experiencies, traditions and customs. Thats not a problem when both are from the same culture because they share the same things, the problem comes when to different cultures mix, like in the movie, a multi active culture with a linear active. Tula's family was a huge family, with a lot of cousins, aunt sand brothers, however, ian´s family was very small, and his parents were very quiet and patient people. For Ian was kind of easy to adapt to Tula´s life style , but was very difficult for Ian´s family to do so. also we can se that tula´s family eat all the time meat and Ian´s parents were kind of vegetarian and they eat in little amounts. The good part of all this is that love can do anything! :) And these two different families finally were together and happy :)

hello people i was reading some articles about how we are loosing a lot of lenguages and i would like to share my ideas with you... for me the most importanta issue we have to take into account is that when we lose native lenguages we are loosing cultutal heritage and this is very importante because look what i found: "according to prominent French linguist Claude Hagege.

most people are not at all interested in the death of languages,he says. if we are not cautious about the way English is progressing it may eventually kill most other languages." (Tom Colls)...  so its not only abour loosing a lenguage is loosing cultural variety, that the most beautifull thing of our planet is that we can find some many different cultures with its own traditions and learn about them... learn that we must accept everyone because of what he or she is.... and that we can share different thinks, like the mariachis, or chinas traditional storytelling, saman dance.... and so many other things we found in our planet...
