#1. Culture is a particular society that has it’s own beliefs, ways of life, and art.
#2. In the United States we have a tradition that you can be whatever and whoever you want to be. We are taught to follow our dreams and that nothing can ever stop you. Another tradition we have is everyone goes to church on Sundays. Sundays also are usually days when everyone watches football. Something we value is family. We mostly always have holidays with our families and even birthdays.
#3. Some assumptions I have of Ecuador is that they will be obsessed with soccer or futbol. This assumption comes from being that soccer is the number one sport in the world and usually South America is one of the biggest continents to love soccer. I also belief, that Ecuador with have a lot of plantation with a lot of homes growing corn, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables. This assumption comes from knowing that Ecuador with have warm weather all year round and also knowing that Ecuador’s poverty is quite high.
#4. I chose to look into the food in Ecuador. The top things that Ecuador exports is oil, bananas, flowers, shrimp, and cow. A lot of families grow fruits and vegetables and sell them in markets or even in the bottom level of their houses. Most vegetables include corn, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, carrots, and broccoli. There will also be the same with fruits. Bananas, lemons, limes, pineapple, watermelon, apples, mangos, and strawberries are all sold around in Ecuador in markets. Plenty of meats are ate in Ecuador too. Cows are used for steak and the same for chickens used for chicken. Ecuador is known for it’s famous dish of Guinea pig though. Don’t know if I will be trying that.
