We have spent the last two days listening to people do presentations about several countries (and will finish up tomorrow). Why is this cultural so important to the aspects of not only World Literature but of world citizenry?

this aspect is important for mny reasons. first of all it gives us insight into what other countries are like. it tells us about the people, their economy, favorite pastimes etc.. also it gives us a new look on life and our beliefs. for instance if you are exposed to a different cultures religion and like and agree with it more than the one you are or are not currently a part of then you will be adapting into a new culture. this is important in literature as well. it is important because by studying a different cultures writing you can see the amny different style of writing and different dialects used. after studying these readings you will learn to incorporate these methods into your writing and help you to become a better writer.
I belive that it is important to learn how other countries live. It shows us how they live there day to day life. It is very interesting to see what is different from the way we are. It makes you understand the country's more because you have a better feel for how they are. It is important to open up the world around you and study other places. It would be pointless to live in your own world and see nothing. Seeing the world is part of life.
It important for us to learn about that other cultures to learn about how other people live. It gives us information on how the world works. It lets us know about whats going on in the world other then whats just going on around where live. Other countrys are way different form the united states but at the same time very similer. I also think its important because if you travel to a different country you want to be able to interact with the people and if you know nuthing on the culture then you wont know how to do that.
its important to learn how other people and countries live. Some times when we don't know a lot about a country we assume stuff. like we assumed certain things about certain countries when we wrote on the board what we thin we knew. then when we wrote the stuff we found out we knew it was true. there are many things you can learn about a country. you can learn what language they speak or what kind of food they eat. the reason its important to know this stuff is so you don't assume.
I think that it is important for some people to study world cultures. Culture is the life that people live. I think that if you wanna know about other cultures you have to go for it. If you cant travel you need to resherch. I honestly don't think its the most important thing to know. I mean it is to a extent. I think we have enough problems f our own without having to worry about other cultures/ countrys.
It is important for us to see different cultures. It shows us different ways of living, different kinds of foods, different religions, etc. It is important because it can change your beliefs and change the way you act. It is important to see different cultures becuase you can see different ways of writing and different dialects.
It is important in many ways to learn about ofhter nations culture. People need to knoe that there are other nationalities than their own. Also it is important to know what other countries are like. Most importantly they need to know how these countries are different from the U.S. It is important for people to know what is going on in the world. People would be lost in the world if they did not know of other nations
I believe it is very important to know about other cultures. People just assume things about other countries. This forms a lot of stereotypes. If you are educated about different cultures, you will have a better understanding and respect for them. I can even admit, before I learned about certain countries, I assumed a lot of stereotypes were true. I even feel a little embarrassed about this. I believe everyone should have a little more experience and knowledge about foreign countries.
It is important in all aspects because it shows that not everyone is the same. People believe diffrent things such as politics and religion. Everyone should learn of everyone else because you might relize something else that you wouldnt have in your shoes. It is interesting to learn about diffrent cultures because it is diffrent and something new. Every culture blends of one another. We assume things that may not be true in other places and it causes conflict. Seeing new things is fun and interesting.
it allows us to see the world in a different way. if we keep an open mind, and see things more than just through our own eyes, it can help relationships form, and overall broaden your knowledge of the world around you. and you can also become more culturally diverse in your thoughts, words and actions you take. you can see issues from a foreigner's point of view. culture helps shape the world.
It is truly benificial to know about other cultures. Many parts of the world are so different than ours. Most people don't get the chance to really learn anything about other countries. Also, a small group of people wouldnt want to know anything of whats going on in a country other than theirs. What you learn from other cultures is to seriously appreciate our own. Once you see how people live in other countries, you think your life is fun, easy, and also very different. In many aspects, knowing how other people live really opens your eyes to how convenient. Thats why I think that learning about other cultures is very important.
i think the countrie i did is inportant because we need to learn about other cultures. we can learn what they like to do and what they like to eat. as well as many other things. some countries play a major roal in history. like Germany for instance. if we didnt know about Germany we would not know about the holocost and many other events that went on there. that is why i think it is so important to learn about other cultures.
This aspect of learning about different countries cultures around the world is so beneficial for us young people in this day and age. One; because we don't put a lot of time into really learning about what is going on around our world, let alone our own country. Two; because it gives us an idea of diversity and puts a whole new perspective on culture. We are so used to our own cultures and our own beliefs that we don't take the time to get to know about the tons and tons of others. This aspect is also so important to literature because many of the writers, poets, and legends in the literature area and from other countries. By knowing about there different backgrounds of where they came from, gives us good in sight on why they wrote the way they did or why they wrote about the things they chose to write about.
i think that if we learn about world culture we can all get a little closer in the world. I belive that the whole world should learn about each other. if we took the time to learn about countries that hate us, we might understand why they have those oppinions. if they learned about us they can see why we are kinda stuck up. if we all got toghter and learned about each others culture we could achieve world peace. diferent literature styles and religos are just a few ways that nations are different. As different cultures make us stand out we have to realize its not the only culture or the right one.
Knowing about other cultures and aspects of there culture help you know more about the world. And you learn what other cultures do compared to yours. Like in some places they celebrate the same holidays as us on differnt days. They also eat different kinds of foods on a daily basis compared to us. There are some many differnt things in the world like different countrys speaking all kinds of different langugages and celbrtaeing holidays that you might not heard of. So learning about different culture can be very interesting and different.
I think culture is important in many ways. It’s important how people live their life. What they eat, how they dress and many other things. Most people don’t take the time to learn about different culture in our country. It’s important to know them because if you go to another country you have to know how they live so you don’t disrespect them. If we take the time to learn about people’s culture we could make a huge difference in are lives. If we don’t know then we wont know what going on in our lives.
Well, it's important because (obviously) the class is about WORLD literature, so one must have a grasp on the thinking of others around the world first. Second, and most important, understanding other cultures allows us to understand ourselves as a species better. It's this mutual understanding which we need to develop to live on the same planet without fighting constantly. FIghting, being wars, not bickering, as bickering generally hurts nothing but egos. This self-understanding which we should all achieve, is the key to being able to take the next step in our evolutionary chain, as it would enable us to push our limits as humans and accomplish much, much more...

I think that is very important to see how other countries live. It is good to have the knowledge of other countries cultures. It shows us how they live there day to day life. It is very interesting to see what is different from the way we are. Looking and studying other cultures is very important and usefull. Instead of being to concerned with your own culture it is good to have the knowledge of other countries. That is what I think about this question.

Culture all around the world should be important to everyone and now in my eyes is. The cultures that we have been studying has made me realize that there is more to this world and my life then just where im from (a little town in Michigan) i feel as if i shouldent live the reast of my life just caring about what im doing and where im from because there is a WHOLE world out there that matters. i have herd many people say "who cares about the people here, or there" and to be honest i have thought that many times before. if it wasent from other cultures our world wouldnt be what it is today, from products we get from other contreys. other cultures have helped us realize that this world has many different dinamics and my life and world is a full circle not just the little town i live in.
Sorry i dident get to this one until a day late, i was sick and couldent go anywhere to do this blogg because my stupid ass house does NOT have a effing computer :(
I think that it's important to learn of these cultures because it gives us a decent insight and brief overview of a country's morals, beliefs, and residents. I, for one, actually enjoy learning about these cultures because of how different things are from our customs. It's very unique to learn about. We, as Americans, may think "Wow, that's odd," or "That's appalling," to some of the things that other cultures do, but in such country's eyes many of the things Americans do are odd. It's very interesting to learn about, and I enjoy the parallels and perpendiculars that other countries have to the United States. Also, I am shocked to learn that other countries share many of the same past times as Americans do. In all honestly, I thought that many other countries did not have such luxuries as attending the movies or a sporting event or something similar.
sorry this is late too, but like the other i figured this was my last chance to get this in since i was sick...please? :D haha.

It is very important to be knowlegeable about other cultures for many reasons. Firstly, it is important for the obvious factor of wisdom and being a cultural human being and knowing about different people all over the world. I feel like so many young people are hard headed and don't think about other people all over the world and how differently they have it. People get so consumed with this little "bubble" they live in White Lake, and they assume this is how life is for everyone else. Alot of times people don't care or what to know about other cultures, which I find completely ignorant. Knowing about cultures gives us a wider view and perpective on life and how other people have it so much differently then we do. Knowing about all kinds of cultures can help you with traveling, understanding why people act the way they do, writing, and reading.
