Final Reflection

 

Have our ideas about Greece changed after working on this blog?

We could say that yes, our preconceived ideas about Greece changed quite a bit during the creation of this blog. Mainly with the fact that we thought that mythology had a great influence on who the Greeks were and how they behaved. We can say that thanks to the research done we have a clearer view about this culture.

What surprised us the most about Greece?

When we were doing the research about nonverbal communication, we were surprised by the fact how the Greeks behaved with personal space, since they tend to be a bit disinterested in that aspect, where they can out of nowhere touch a person they don't know at all and not think it's something weird. Which is by far, very different from what we are used to because here in Colombia is something uncommon and can even be uncomfortable for people.

What did we enjoy the most about the blog creation?

One of the aspects we enjoyed the most, was the choice of the theme and the design of the blog, since we spent a lot of time choosing the main color range and the images that were best with the aesthetics we had chosen. As well as looking for a way to organize all the posts in an understandable way.

How could this information be of any help if we move to a foreign culture?

It could be useful when we meet and socialize with people of that culture, we would have an idea of how to behave in front of them and a little more detailed knowledge about different aspects of the social life of their country, such as how they usually behave with the people around them, their traditions, and those generalizations about them that usually say incomplete facts.
