Document Summary
Will send a link with the article for tuesday"s reading. One unmentioned piece on american culture we missed last week: Americans focus on convenience: wanting things done immediately, expecting great customer service. One unmentioned piece on israeli culture we missed last week: People argue and make their voices heard no matter their position. Intentional anti-european, not rule-following, utopian idea of how society should be. Guide to talking about culture in an educated, sensitive way. So don"t make a statement that makes culture sound like its unchanging. Ex: the french are rude > make it comparative. Ex: all israelis are religious > use qualifiers like. Majority or some to show theres a range in differences. Indicates space, geographic space, that would indicate a culture is bounded in a place. Culture is not in a single space, it"s fluid and it can change locations. Ex: hebrew is spoken in israel > true, but it"s spoken other places.
