As the Titanic... We don't see the Iceberg

The most important thing I learn was the culture is like an Iceberg, because when we see something about a country, We only see thing like language, tipical food, tipical clothing, important artists, famous writers and all the topics like these. Professor Pablo Villa emphasized this part of the subject and He made us to reflect on whether it was important to focus on trying to learn only about these things or about all the topics of the country like nature of friendship, beliefs, values, ideas concering governing, childraising, etc.

Also we relate these with stereotypes, how these things make a inaccurate image of the people or the whole country so if we going to search information about a country we need to investigate for more accurate information and try to avoid the generalization of the people.

All these ideas was new for me and I started to think about how we alway generalize when we talk about people on diferent country or also people in diferent cities of the same country and that caused my mind blow, because we live for make stereotypes of what we don't know.

"THE WHOLE SOCIETY DICTATES WHAT WE THINK OF OTHERS AND IS ALWAYS A STEREOTYPE".

If we will be teachers, we must change this paradigm, not only for us but for all our future students, beacuse we will build future generations and many of the things they think will emerge from our knowledge.

Finally, maybe this was the intention of Professor Pablo Villa on first, that we become aware of this issue, not only because it is something we must learn, at least that is what I think.

I want to exhibit the following questions to close my posting: what you concluded about this, and if you are in agreement or disagreement with my point of view?
