Damian Cultures´ Blog

To answer those kind of questions we must look very close the whole country.

Each region has its own culture, in the center of the country with the capital, in the north with the coastal culture, even each city will show different customs, dialects, beliefs, physical traits and more. In this big country that has more or less 2.070.000 km (taking into account the maritime extension) all the Colombians live and move through all of it, but we see that today you still can appreciate the regional cultures, and it hasn’t being affected too much for the time.

Now with a global vision and analysis, there is a dominant culture that affects every region and every culture. With the globalization process that we face everyday, we start to see many changes in the people´s acts like the way they dress, talk, music, believe, and so on.

This also would be considered as the theories of the convergence or divergence. With the first one in some time we will be only one culture and no more, the global village every people listen the same things, acting the same way that everyone does, and local cultures will slowly vanish. Personally I prefer to mix those theories; recognize the power of the globalization process but am pretty sure that some local cultures, all those roots believes will remain in the time. It could sound pretty idealist but also with a big part of realist by facing the actual situations.

To see an example of the big changes in culture we only need to look Japan, the new generations are changing so much, and old citizens really doesn’t like it they don’t feel good with the changes, but in the Okinawa Islands there always be the Karate-do, in all the country we still can appreciate the structure of their buildings, the sumo fights (and lifestyle) and more stuff of the Japanese culture.

In this time I invite you to watch this video and try to analyze what he is doing with his speech.

Well to make the first difference and that we could say the most important one is that when we talk about culture we will find all the issues of it in each person, religion, language, habits, moods, traditions, believes, and so on.

But when we talk about a cultural organization, we enter into a topic of the general culture that companies manage in their structure, all the important aspects of how to behave into the organization, a company and in the entire business world, in order to represent all the ideals that should do.

These ideals are affected all the time for many factors of the market, business believes, and even the national culture where they are located. And the bigger the organization becones and starts to work more internationally it will surely be affected for more aspects.

This question involves major issues, but the central idea is to understand clearly what the identity of individuals is. We should first understand how it works, and by this I mean if there is a strong identity for a single person and I mean an identity that contains a name, personality, beliefs, culture and almost everything that represents or maybe we can talk that a person has multiple identities, an identity for each of their roles in society.

We hear much talk "is his personality when he is doing that thing". Then you have different personalities for their activities, is not the same role as a clerk to the role of parenting.

It is a question I would like to point for your own discuss, search for authors and written as the one Luis Fernando Bolaños Gordillo “¿Como se construyen las identidades en la persona? Where he shows many aspects of the identity how is it getting constructed by all the peoples and their environment.
