C. Cultura: Una descripción y una comparación. Based on the Panoramas, Mi experiencia and Club cultura sections of ¡Arriba!, select two of the countries studied in Chapters 9 and 10 (i.e., Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay or Venezuela). Then, provide two characteristics unique to each country (for a total of four). Lastly, compare and contrast either País 1 or País 2 with your own culture/community. More specifically, you should include one similarity and one difference. Type your answer in a brief response with a minimum of six complete sentences in Spanish and give specific examples. Do not repeat information from previous exercises. (1 pt. for each characteristic, 1 pt. for similarity, 1 pt. for difference; 6 pts. total) a.) First, discuss two meaningful characteristics unique to the first country. b.) Second, discuss two meaningful characteristics unique to the second country. c.) Lastly, compare and contrast one of the two selected countries with your own culture/community. Include one similarity and one difference. Note: In order to receive credit for this section, you must provide specific and detailed information that clearly supports your response. Vague or general answers will not receive credit. An example of a vague or general response would be, “En México hay muchas playas bonitas.” Lastly, it is strongly recommended to avoid phrases such as “everyone,” “no one,” “all Mexicans/Americans/Venezuelans,” etc. that could lead to the oversimplification of complex cultural phenomena and promote superficial stereotypes of cultural practices, products or perspectives.
