Palanque

There was some similarities between the video and the Alvin Ailey dance company. The dancer's race was the same. Also, the movements were similars. The women's clothes in the video was a long dress like the women's clothes of the Alvin Ailey dance company. Altough, both dance have an important meaning in the culture. They express their feeling trough the movements of the dance.

Holidays In Other Countries

The use of English was used, because it is one of the most language used around the world. The countries want the rest of the world to know about their holidays. As they show the description of the holidays in English, it will make easy for other countries to understand the meaning of each holiday.
I learned about their culture and the way the enjoy the holidays. Also, I found similarities and differences in the way they celebrate some holidays.

Personal Culture

Sports are a way to change the life´s people. In my case, voleyball has made me a healthy person and has changed the way I live my life. Every sport makes a change in the personality of a person, because the person becomes more competitive and take care about his or her body. Also, this helps a person to be more disciplined and responsible.

Economic Empoverment For Women

I would lend money to Erika Patricia. Because I think her business is the most success. Ice cream, candy and drinks are products that have a great demand around the world and she could sell it faster.

Kenyan Matatu Drivers

1. How are Matatu drivers treated in his experience with the BBC?
Matatu drivers received a bad treatment. Firstable, the cops accused them for things that they did not do it. Then, the touts thought they were filming them to sell it when Matatus go back to their country. Matatu drivers were tread in this way because of the stereotypes that Kenyans have about them.

2. Do Barranquilleros have the same negative opinion of mototaxistas as the kenyans have of matatu drivers?
In Barranquilla, we usually think that the mototaxistas are thiefs. This happens because the real thiefs transport themselves in motorbikes. Another thought about mototaxistas is that in a car accident between a car and a motorbike, the fault is of the mototaxista.

Afrocolombians

After to see the video about afrocolombians, it is possible to infer that this people is treated like they were different and less important than the others. This began a long time ago and even thought they have tried to change that, they have not be able to achieve it. They live in poverty and all of them are not allowed to study in universities. This racism will continue existing if the persons do not change the negative beliefs about afrocolombians.
