Paper Description
This paper will introduce students to major world cultures and languages in a comparative context.
Paper Structure
We begin with a brief introduction about culture and how people have tried to define it and compare different cultures. Next we look at an aspect of French culture--the importance of fashion--and investigate how it arose. The focus then turns to East Asia and the cultures of China, Japan and South Korea. The paper finishes with an introduction to the cultures of Spain and Latin America.
