Cultural Diversity

Namaste v/s Hola
            
         The human live in society and from we born, we belong to a determinate culture. The culture is what gives us identity, that is to say, some characteristics that distinguish a group of people of other, It characteristics includes religion, political system, physical features, typical dishes, clothes and dances, housing, life style and traditions in general. Exist much kind of cultures in the entire world, this is called cultural diversity.
            If I think in cultural diversity, a good example is India and Chile. These countries have a lot of differences, for example the way to clothe, Indian women use Saris while Chilean have an occidental style; in India religion is Hinduism and they´re polytheistic and here we´re Christians and monotheistic, weddings in Chile are realising for love, instead in India it is to convenience (an economic treaty) and the fiancé arrives to ceremony´s place on an elephant. Some traditional dishes of India are dal, rotis, chapati, bhujia, etc what characterise to have varied condiments, typical Chilean food are (u know :v) empanada, choripan , humitas, pastel de papas, sopaipas, so on. Our national dance is La Cueca, in India there are 4 dances: odissi, bharata natyam, kuchipudi and mohiniyattam. Finally we have crafts, in India there is mayapur and in Chile the indio pícaro ;)
            India and Chile have interesting cultures; they are very different a real culture clash.
