Burkina faso

  When we compare both countries,  we see that are similar in some aspects: Power distance: Both are poor countries and also have a lot of corruption problems, the wealth is concentrated in a small part of the population and they don´t care about it. Individualism: It´s easy to explain this because both are multi-active countries so they really like being together. Masculinity:   Men and women have different roles based on their gender. Uncertainty Avoidance Index: Historically both countries have experimented the violence, dictatures and bad goberments. Long term Orientation: I Think I the reason of this is the poverty of both countries, people just care about the near future. Indulgence: In Burkina Faso people still being super traditional however in Colombia people is more opendmind and also we have foreign influence, in Burkina faso have a pure culture.

I consider, Culture from Burkina Faso as a Multi-actives, let me tell the reason. Most of the people from Burkina Faso are outgoing people, they love to dance because it has a symbolic ritual. These people like to do a lot of things at the same time, and they are really empathic and have the capacity to know and talk to everybody cause they live to close each other what make people could be gossipy. Etiquette and protocol are important, the greeting has a specific protocol. And Also the Lewi´s model categorizes African culture´s as a Multi-actives Añadir título  

 In Colombia, we could talk about gender stereotypes from a different perspective. If you see a pretty lady in Cartagena with a Northamerican guy people will say she is selfish or greedy. In Barranquilla, some people say that if you see a man who always has a bird is because this guy is lazy. If you see a woman who has a short dress she has to be a prostitute. a man who has tattoos is a gangster and does drugs and when 2 people have a date, the man must pay the bills. however in Burkina Faso the woman second-class of citizens. Women have fewer rights than men. all these ideas came from the conservative people who want to perpetuate these maleness ideas.

This time we´re gonna talk about gender roles in Burkina Faso. Obviously, we gotta start with my stereotypes: So First of all, I believe women in Burkina Faso are always at the home, taking care of children and their husbands take care of them. so I ask myself, also men are really drunk all the time and they have more freedom than women 1.   Do men have more freedom than a woman? 2. Do women have to be always at home? 3. Do woman and men works or just men?  In my research, I found this. What I found is really sad for occidental culture but I won´t say is bad because I don´t want to be ethnocentrist so I will be objective  so: People in Burkina Faso still believe in traditional practices that make men can decide about woman lives,  their childhood ends soon because they must marry a man, a woman can´t take contraceptive without the husband´s authorization. if a woman is raped, she must have to pay for her health service, they are always in home and can´t work because their man takes car

  Hey, everyone.      I want to talk about Burkina Faso which is a country in Africa. I´ll start with st ereotypes. I confess that I Imagine these people look like this:  And I have this idea because I thought that African born people are all aboriginal but when I research, I notice that they actually look like this Talking about the culture iceberg I choose Food: The typical foods are rice, almonds peanut, potatoes, olives, and okra. Only rich people have animals, most of their food is transgenic and they eat with their hands. however next topic is religion: 60,5% of the people are Muslim, 23,2% are Christian, 15,3 practice traditional religion and only 1% are atheists.
