Im from El Salvador. And pupusas is what were most known for especially in Central America. Pupusas have made its way into the United States and has been embraced by Americans This is an example of Material Culture.
El Salvador is also known for arguably the most dangerous gang in the world. the ms-13. the ms-13 has pretty much taken over the country making it a dangerous place to be. They kidnap Americans and hold them for ransom since they think everyone over here is "rich" a reason why I haven'y visited my country in quite some time. This is an example of non material culture.
Gay marriage is one of the most discussed and debated topics today. This is an example of culture war
This is the Salvadorian flag. To some its just a flag but to its residents it means much more than that. It symbolizes pride. This is an example of Symbol
El Salvador still has people living in the mountains. Isolated from society. They have a different culture and beliefs. This is an example of subculture.
Although Spanish is the national language there are 4 different languages spoken. 1 is extinct. This is "pipil". Spoken in the remote parts of El Salvador. This is an example of language
This is cool I didn't know a lot about El Salvador this is a pretty cool culture all I knew about El Salvador is ms13 and I think it's cool what we learn from other cultures sometimes we close our minds and we don't see there are a lot of different cultures out there ...... I like pupusas I had them before they are pretty good :)
ReplyDeleteJust by the comments, you should think about your assignment Jon. I learned a lot about El Salvador, but nothing about you.
