Personal Culture


Hobbies, Sports or any kind of music make us a part of one or various specific subcultures that together can define our own personal culture.

For example Vallenato or Musica Popular could define how is people who likes each gender. Inclusive could made relation with age, and social class and other points that are part of what a person is.


Economic Empowerment for Women

I think erika patricia was one of the better options from de possibles choices because she have a clear idea of what she want to do and have a lot of energyes. She is looking for an opportunity and marginal cost are lower in contrast with the other women for these...

"so her Kiva loan will be a success"


Matatu drivers 

 

 We could saw in the video that BBC treated matatus drivers well despite all the inconvenient at the begining with the cops and de aptitudes of his workmates, because the are really interested in the survey style of live and the way they see life, matatus see life like a battle that they have to face daily to get money for their families..

Saddly there are in barranquilla dual positions of thinking about mototaxistas but i really think that the majority think something like if they arent robbers, they must be lazy man that does not want to do any other productive activity.

i think that know the meaning of the lyrics permit us get a deeper contact with the culture and ideas that people of tuareg culture wants to transmit us and understood it in a better way all that they are.



An American in Uganda.

Is sad to see how the human being has become such a selfish individual, and as consequence of that it find himself hard to live in community.


That said, we can see how "white man" find really difficult to even tolerate the activiities that "Black man" use to do everyday. Nowadays people usually feel as the center of the universe and claim that everything that happens around them because or against them.



We had concentrate our lives so much in living how we want without caring how the otherone feel that sometimes  forget how easy is to listen and just comprehend that we cannot change everything to our convenience. We had forgotten how to listen, how to aprecciate te little things and understand that we actually leave between humans, we are not alone.
