Food is a very important in France. They don’t eat fast food as much as Americans. After meals they tend to talk and linger while Americans do that mostly before they finish eating. It is said that in France they eat like kings, lords, and then servants for dinner. While in America our bigger meals are often at dinner. Dessert is really common while in America for example, I rarely eat dessert more than once a week. French drink wine often, but not to get intoxicated. They normally drink it with their meals and the purchasing of alcohol age is 18. This is different from America where consumption and purchasing power is age 21. My perspective is France sounds like it has better

When it comes to interacting with people, France and the United States differ greatly. The people of France tend not to smile or have an expression when meeting new people. In the United States, we tend to smile and greet people as we have known them for a very long time. Edward MacNeal talks about growing up in a bicultural environment and noticing the differences between French and American interactions. He states in his journal French-American Misunderstandings, “…the French don’t smile at people they don’t know. They think it’s hypocritical” (2003). This nature is why many Americans view French people to be rude or snobbish. MacNeal also says that the American assumption is that we are all friends and the French assumption is that we are all strangers. This very assumption could hinder interaction between people of the two nations. So with that being said, when doing business with

The people of France take pride in their selves. Although they seem like very modest people in France it is normal to have affairs while being married. They celebrate eleven official holidays. The French celebrate the traditional Christian holidays as well such as Easter and Christmas and normal ones like Fourth of July, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and Labor Day. On July fourteen they celebrate Bastille Day, which is the day that the Bastille fortress was stormed in and it started the French revolution. Another few that are not common here is victory in Europe day, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Assumption day and , All Saints day and Armistice day, and last but not least St. Stephens Day. Although there are many great things about France there is one thing that’s not so positive about France is that it is well known for a lot of human trafficking. Although many laws have been passed to lower the rates of this awful problem and also to protect and keep the woman safe it is still very common. A little more information about their culture is that due to the fact that there country is a six sided shape they often use the word hexagon to describe their nation due to the similarity. France is a beautiful country filled lots of history. These are the five themes of geography for

What would you do if you were Deaf and living in America during the early 1800’s and before? Think of how hard it would be to learn when the teachers in the classroom would talk out loud and you couldn’t hear what they were saying. It was very difficult for Deaf students who lived before the 1800’s to get any education. Rich people would send their children across the ocean to Europe where they could attend the Braidwood Academy in Great Britain among other great schools for the Deaf. The many who couldn’t afford it just had to live in silence looking on from the outside. One of the problems besides having trouble getting an education, was that many people misunderstood Deafness. Many people believed that because Deaf people couldn’t hear and usually couldn’t speak, that they also couldn’t think intelligently or reason. Some believed that Deafness was a curse for bad behavior. One young Deaf girl by the name of Alice Cogswell helped to change that thwarted thinking. She motivated and inspired Thomas Gallaudet to study education for Deaf people and then later open the 1st school for the Deaf in America.

Every culture has a different way in communicating with one another, when no one is speaking. Nonverbal is a message that is sent from one person to another which does not include words, but body motions (Farb, 2017, textbook chapter 8, pg. 256). This is what it includes “eye contact, touch and vocal qualities; and the use of time, space, artifacts, dress, and smell” (Farb, 2017, textbook chapter 8, pg. 256). “Nonverbal communication is a key component to the steps of interaction, and many people rely on nonverbal cues to understand one another”. Nonverbal communication in use by people around the world without speaking a word, but using body motions and they still get messages out. The differences of verbal and nonverbal communications, is verbal uses symbols and nonverbal uses signals. In this nonverbal communication training-guide, it will explain the different body motions in the Muslim culture of what to do and what not to do, and what behavior is appropriate and what is not appropriate. These body motions will include Kinesics, Proxemis, Haptics, Paralanguage, Chronemics, Physical appearance/attire, Oculesics, and Olfactics.

I always wanted to visit Europe and these are the places I had in mind. Switzerland is famous for their chocolates and their cheese two foods I enjoy. I have always been intrigued about the pairings of wine and food and what better place to experience that then in France they have many varieties of cheese and wines. While in France I would love to go see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, and if you enjoy reading great literature as I do getting a chance to be able to visit the place where Alexandre Dumas the author of The Three Musketeers and the Count of Monte Cristo lived and where the author Victor Hugo, who wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables lived would be a great once in a lifetime experience. I have always had a thing for

A third difference between the two cultures is the way in which their people greet each other. In the United States it is appropriate to greet someone with a handshake and maybe even a hug if you know the person quite well. However, in France they greet each with a little more formality, for example, most French people will greet their peers with kisses even if they are new acquaintances. Continuing with the differences between the cultures, in France there have been recent actions against religious freedom, for example, in 2004 France banned all religious items from their schools and in 2001 banned people from wearing a full-face veil, which are particularly worn among Muslim woman. The French believe these are steps toward a collective community that brings all of its citizens closer together.

Unless you live in a cave, you know what “La France” is, its idea, its Eiffel tower, its way of life, its universalism.Rival of Britain for centuries, French Empire and European Imperialism, France has marked the world landscape by its specificity.
