A GRATEFUL EXPERIENCE

Hi to everyone, my name is Daniel Eduardo Celis Montes, I’m 17 years old, I’m a mechanical engineer student at Universidad Del Norte, I’m in second semester, I love this university, it has everything to make your time here something really special. 

I really enjoy my major degree, for me it’s the best, something that i have learn here is that companies are looking for the most prepared people. The more languages you know, the more competitive you are.

Wherever you go, China, Japan, Spain, Brasil or some other country, if you manage the English your time there is not going to be hard because it is the world´s language.

In this curse I learned some things I didn’t know like the difference between stereotypes and generalizations, for me they were the same thing, I was a little lost jejeje. Stereotypes are not good way to analyze a culture, as an example, if we say “cachacos are cold” or “costeños are relax” both are stereotypes but they are not true

Stereotypes can make a person who knows his culture in a 360° way, to believe something wrong about someone from another culture.

I have enjoyed this curse and I expect to learn more about stereotypes, generalizations and other things about cultures…
