Learning from the media and talking to older people , we pick up a lot of stereotypes about other nations. In every country there are plenty of stereotypes about residents but most of them are untrue and very wrongful.
What are the first 3 things which come into your mind when you hear the words "ENGLAND-ENGLISH"or"GREECE- GREEK".
English:Royal family,bad weather, 5o' clock tea, Big Ben,Shakespeare, pubs, fish and chips,polite,reserved,strange humour.
Greek:country of democracy, hospitable,communicative, hot tempered, religious, easy going, nice weather, use loud voice,too much feasting,bouzouki party smashing plates.

Dear Samuel
I would like to thank you for your contribution to my discussion. I believe that we have to we have to revise our opinion about people all over the world because as human beings we have the same needs and special abilities.
GREECE: zorba dance, outgoing, fun lovers (I think like Spanish people)
Dear Estanis,
I strongly believe that people in the Mediterranean are in a way similar maybe because
of the quantity of light(a lot of sun).
