Final reflexion

Being able to work on blogs about my assigned country (Poland) has been a lot of fun and interesting, thanks to the activities and use of information and learning different aspects of culture than I have learned in my home country. I had a wonderful opportunity to see and learn about Polish culture, history, geography and society, I was able to compare it to my country Having said that, researching and searching for information on my blog changed the mindset that was i already have about Poland , because i realized that a lot of the stereotypes i learned about Poland were either false or exaggerated. One of the stereotypes and that left me a very interesting fact is that Poles not only drink vodka, but also have a great variety of beers, wines, and that their gastronomy is very diverse and delicious. What I liked the most in the activity of creating the page or blog was to be able to share and express my creativity and my curiosity to know another distant culture and the one I have had the pleasure to visit or live with that culture. I enjoyed learning to identify the cultural iceberg model to explore the visible aspects of Polish culture, and also using the Lewis and Hofstede models to analyze the cultural differences between Poland and Colombia. I believe that this information, apart from the subject I am taking, could be very helpful if I were to move to a foreign or Colombian culture.

Non-verbal communication

Non-verbal communication (Poland|Colombia) Non-verbal communication is a form of communication, but with the use of gestures, expressions, movements. Non-verbal communication can vary according to culture and context.. For example, in Poland and Colombia there are some differences in the way of communicating nonverbally. Poles use less physical contact than Colombians, who are more tactile and affectionate. Poles also maintain more eye contact than Colombians, who may look away to show respect or modesty. Poles also respect personal space more than Colombians, who may move closer to others to show interest or trust. These differences can be seen in the greeting, conversation and negotiation that people from both countries use. To communicate well with people from other cultures, it is important to know and respect their non-verbal forms of communication.

Brainstorming the stereotypes

Imagen
 To brainstorm stereotypes of Poland, I first thought about characteristics that are commonly associated with Poland, such as its religion, history, culture, and economy. Then I wrote down the ideas that came to mind without judging or filtering them to represent what I had heard or read about Poland.   Then, I picked a few of my favorite stereotypes and checked them for validity. I looked for additional reliable information on the internet through various sources to check if the hypothesis I chose matched reality. I compared the data and statistics I found with my conclusions about Poland and examined whether there was sufficient evidence to support or refute them.. I also tried to understand the context and causes of the social phenomena I observed and to recognize the diversity and complexity of the Polish reality. This helped me to get to know Poland better and to question my own prejudices and generalizations. References  Annex : Countries by per capita alcohol consumption. https:
