One day I was in my country El Salvador
living with my family, friends and all that I
knew. The next day I opened my eyes, and I was in another
country. Everything was
totally different: language, food, people, culture and more,
then was when I started to
learn more about this country the USA and I started compare
the behavior of people
from my country, El Salvador, with the behavior of the
people from the USA.
The politeness is a point really
different in these countries, how the people show
respect to strangers in these countries. For example, in El
Salvador if pregnant women
in on the bus and are not an empty chair, in my country the
man doesn’t care, he
doesn’t pay attention to that. It is usually a woman who
gives the chair for the other
women but not the man. If you try to cross the street is
like a mission impossible
because it’s no common that the people stop the car for you.
It is because of our
culture generation to generation is passing these bad
habits. We have to learn from
other countries about how be more respectful with other
people and help each other.
On other hand we can see the USA often the people are so different.
For example if you
need to cross the street the cars stop for you, and wait
that you cross. You can find an
empty chair in the busses, but if for coincidence you don’t
many people offer you their
chair for you sit. If you have many things in your hands like a
bags and is hard for you
open the door be sure that mane people is going to help you,
because that is the way
that they are, respectful people, very polite and often with
a pretty smile in their daces
that makes you feel at home.
Every country
have different laws and custom about the cleanliness and how care
about their ambience. We can see in El Salvador is not a
very clean country because
the people don't care a lot about have a clean country or
recycle, they put all the
garbage together and often the streets are dirty with a lot
garbage. If the people are in
their cars or the bus and they are eating something they
throw away the garbage by
the window in the street. But if you see in the USA the
people are cleaner, they are
more environmentalists and they try to protect the place
where they live, they have a
custom to recycle and separate the garbage, and they try to
keep their country clean.
When the people is driving or in the bus they bear a bag
with them so they put there
the garbage and in that way they don’t throw it in the street.
I hope that when I
can back to my country I can
teach to other people how the people in the USA
are and try to make the difference.
Hi Carmina,
ReplyDeleteI bet there are a lot of positive points about the behavior of El Salvadorians! For example, you are very polite and respectful of your peers! :)
You should start a program in your country that encourages the government to recycle! That would be a great benefit!

In some cases, I think Chinese and EI Salvadorians are the same. sometimes, they won't stop the car for you, when you passing.
