Exploring Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to exploring the Spanish culture in Spanish 101, I had the idea in my head that a siesta was a party or a vacation. In my research I found that a siesta was quite the opposite. Though I found there were quite a few reasons why siestas take place such as avoiding midday heat and limited shop trading times, there was one factor that stood out and gave me perspective on how the Spanish culture can be portrayed as a whole, \u201cMany Spaniards take a midday break from work or school, as a cultural tradition designed to slow down the pace of life and to unite the family.\u201d (Spanish Siesta: Key Facts, Myths & Truths!<\/em>, n.d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portion of Assignment<\/strong>:
En argentina es t\u00edpico trabajar cuarenta y cinco horas por semana. T\u00edpica para trabajar cinco horas el s\u00e1bado.
No puede trabajar m\u00e1s de ocho horas al d\u00eda o mas de 48 cuarenta y ocho horas a la semana. Los trabajos m\u00e1s t\u00edpicos son la pedagog\u00eda. La siesta en Argentina es de medio d\u00eda a las tres o cuatro de la tarde. La familia viene a comer y relajada. Cuando hay una siesta no hay mas actividad. En Argentina las siestas vienen menos. M\u00e1s est\u00e1n ocupadas. Menos tiempo para siestas. Ahora una “siesta energ\u00e9tica” puede ser una siesta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring Culture Reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studying the Spanish culture and the practice of the siesta concludes just how important it is in the Hispanic culture to take the time to slow down, enjoy a meal with family, regain strength, and take care of yourself. That is my biggest take away and I believe it\u2019s a very important one. This \u201cchallenged my worldview\u201d in a positive way that opened my eyes. Before researching, a \u201csiesta\u201d may sound to the average American like a \u201cwaste of time\u201d since the average American isn\u2019t used to more than an hour break for lunch. Now I see this as the misconception. I can now see the necessary benefits behind the Hispanic practice of the siesta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a clear difference here in the United States, no one seems to be able to slow down. Not many people seem to value other humans let alone their own family to enjoy a meal with. I believe if our country were to adopt some traits from the Spanish culture we would see a promotion in love, healthiness, and happiness. The Spanish culture gives off a very \u201cwarm\u201d and embracing demeanor that the rest of the world would certainly benefit from adopting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging in Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were asked to research a University in a Spanish country therefore learning about what the Spanish community values as a whole and that is working in unity. In Spanish countries it is free for the community to use the University facilities for the University and community to work together. Spanish countries seem that they do not run solely off profit as other areas in the world, and this is important when it comes to the type of relationship a community has. This provides a setting to work together with your community, to learn, to improve, to help one another. Whereas when you are unable to work with your community you are left to be ran by corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentational Speaking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This semester we were asked to submit a project in which we spoke on places were we spend a lot of time. We were asked to speak on our University but as I am taking all of my college courses online, I show you around my home. I show you were I study in my office. This presentation I present clear room for improvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
