My Thoughts on the Class Presentations

I really liked the way we did our class presentations. This format made me pay more attention to each individual's country and their cultures. The countries discussed were Brazil, Canada, Italy, Sweden, and Australia to name a few. I learned a lot about Australia. A couple of the main things I learned was how strict they are with littering, women are referred to as love just like men are called mate, and I didn't know people in Australia were such straightforward people. This was a good opportunity for everyone in the class to broaden our horizons on other countries. When we graduate and move on to bigger and better things some of us will be faced with working on the global scale. With this opportunity comes an even greater challenge. You must understand the culture of your international business partner or you run the risk of failing miserably. Do the research because it will pay off in the long run. I guarantee it!
