Today in
Human Geo we continued on the Cultural Geography Unit. One thing I learned is
that language is one of the main cultural things you would learn just from
hearing what is being said around you. Brazil is the only South American nation
that does not speak Spanish. It speaks Portuguese. Canada is a bilingual
nation. French and English are there official language they have provinces.
Another thing is that Switzerland has many languages and very little conflict
between the groups. English is the common business language in the world. Many
people learn English as there 2nd language if it is not there 1st
language. Another topic we discussed today is Ethnic Heritage. In Yugoslavia,
there were many ethnics groups combined into one nation. When strong leadership
in that country died out, the different groups fought a very bloody civil war
and now they all have separate countries. In Korea and Japan they mainly have
one ethnic group.
