Big "C" culture

                                                                                     BIG "C" CULTURE



                                                 The Beatles


It was  an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the rock music era. The group's best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s  rock and roll, the Beatles later utilized several genres, ranging from popballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the  era's sociocuktural revolutions.

Cultural diversity an advantage in the world



Cultural diversity reflects the multiplicity and interaction of cultures in the world and are part of the common heritage of mankind.
Cultural diversity is manifested by the diversity of language, religious beliefs, practices of land management, in art, in music, in the social structure, in the selection of crops, in diet and in all conceivable number of other attributes of human society

                                                                                                     
This picture shows that cultural diversity is well accepted in the world are increasingly different cultures crossing borders.
Migration product in united states coexist many ethnicities and nationalities live here in the same nation Jewish, Asian, Muslim, Hindu, white people and a many others ethnicities





With this picture love we can show that if we teach children not to judge others because they are different they will accept best way to cultural diversity. This is very important today because every day different cultures are integrated to many countries and are mixed with each other.



Finally I leave this video with some phrases that are related to cultural diversity and its importance in the world.




The troubles

As we could saw in the presentations, some groups talked about the UK, but they not included Ireland as the Republic, they just included the Northern Ireland. I want to exposed why there's a problem between the Republic of Ireland and the Northern Ireland.
To add, I want that you listen to a song about this "war" between this two parts of that "country".
This kind of war started on the '60. And the central problem was the political status of Ireland and also, because the religion.
The Northern Ireland is protestant and the Republic of Ireland is Roman Catholic. The first part of the country mentioned wanted to keep the links with the UK, in other way, the Republic of Ireland wanted to be independent from the UK. This conflict made that people started to use guns and violence between them. This happened since 1960 until 1998 when the two parts signed an agreement called GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT which consists in a peaceful end of the civil war. But, sadly this doesn't end,f there's still some people who are not agree with this.
-THE VIOLENCE



In the final image we can see a mural of The IRA is the Irish Republican Army and was a radical group of volunteers that wanted the independence of the UK. This Army used the violence to keep their interests.
Even still this civil war exits, the people learnd how to live in peace with the Northern Ireland even when they don't want the same things.
Enjoy the song and the topic :)
