How have either a sport, hobby, or music shaped your own 

personal culture? Give details to support your ideas.


In my point of view, if you have a sport or hobby, you're  participating in a subculture, but it doesn't means that you are out from normal, only you have similar characteristics with other people that play the same sport. For me the best is knowing and playing different sports, hobbies, and music that will help you to reach a better personal culture   


well, i love tennis, i play tennis, but i try to learn about all sports and do so many things like read, write, go out for  understand the way people are. 

I have friends in all the society classes, and i get the best things from they

Afrocolombians 

How do these examples of racism against Afro Latinos compare to the experiences of AfroColombians, particulary Costeños?

Racism is a very controversial topic, I'm a student of laws and i want to share with us this video  
This is a big example of racism . Chocó is the departament with the majority of the Afrocolombian Population, approximately 74% of the people from chochó are black skin.
Rodrigo Mesa, deputy of Antioquia said that "the money one puts him to Choco is like perfuming a bun" Bun is shit. 
No more words...

  Post a response, answering these two questions: 
      1. What do we learn about Tuareg culture from this video? 
      2. Keeping in mind what you learned from this interview, how does seeing the visuals within the video and knowing the meaning of the lyrics give us a deeper understanding of Tuareg culture?`  

a  Answers
      Is very difficult to me interpret about Tuareg culture in this video, but in my point of view  they're a passion culture, the words -Burned- and -Scorched-  express all this feelings in his hearth, but it also show love in a metaphoric way, " If only this cell could become as vast as a praire i'd fly off like a bird"
a    With the video and the meaning of the lyrics we can understand better Tuareg culture, the red sand and the begining, the "purified" glass of  tea.. this elements helps us to know about this culture

"the world could exist very well without literature, and even better without man" 


An American in Uganda


Read http://mulkatime.blogspot.com/2012/01/two-worlds-collide.html about an American man teaching English in Uganda. 



Post a response to your own blog, answering these two questions: 
1. What different points of view do we see in this story? 
2. Explain the reasons behind the miscommunication that occurred between these two men.

Answers: 
1.  two points of view based on the opposite, starting with the color of the skin, the black man it's a working man, humble and his style of life it's based on simplicity, while the white man it's completely diferent, he enjoy luxuries and he's appreciates not to have what he's opposite do. 

2. My point of view is that i think that it's hard to have a good comunication with two diferents cultures and two diferents kind of people. First, for the big complex of superiority of some white people have towards black people, all of this it's thanks to the misunderstanding between the behavior of both cultures, the education, the language, etc.
