Luther CW#2

The second cultural workshop switched up the groups, as Juliana had been switched into another group. For this session, we talked about the "cultural iceberg", which described aspects that are "above the surface"- such as clothing or language, and "below the surface" - such as gender roles, morality, etc. We also talked a lot about how the two affect each other. For example, views on modesty might affect clothing. I think this was interesting because it made me think about American culture differently. I also got insight into Saudi and Peruvian culture, which was interesting. It seems like Peruvian culture is more friendly and sociable than American culture, which is interesting.
