I have a few questions about the culture

[wiccangirl161]

Now theses questions are for a project if they seem a little ...in depth, but I am very interested in Spain an one day would love to visit and this information would be good to know for anyone who plans on visiting or plans on moving there.

What are the educational expectation
How close to people get to one another in conversation at home or at work
What is their perception of time
Does their chose in clothing affect their acceptance
Taboos
What happens when somone does no adhere to the role expectation (I dont like this question but i dont know the answer to it but i would assume its nothing)
How do they view achevements and success
What do they honor in someones character
and my fav. What happens when someone brakes the law

thank you to everyone who replys

What are the educational expectation


same as the UK - a degree in something irrelevant followed by a job in something unrelated ;)


How close to people get to one another in conversation at home or at work

same as UK - although the Spanish do tend to all speak at once, loudly, and interrupt each other a lot

What is their perception of time

In Madrid it's pretty much the same as the UK.

Does their chose in clothing affect their acceptance

People tend to dress more conservatively in Spain. I have no idea whether this affects their acceptance or not.

Taboos

similar to UK

What happens when somone does no adhere to the role expectation (I dont like this question but i dont know the answer to it but i would assume its nothing)

you are correct - nothing.

How do they view achevements and success

same as the UK

What do they honor in someones character

same things as the UK

and my fav. What happens when someone brakes the law

They either get caught and (perhaps) punished, or they don't and they get away with it (same as UK).

thank you, but I'm American and I don't really know how things are in the UK either.

Defiantly makes it easier on me though.

Most of the questions are relative ones - so the answers had to be in relation to another culture I'm familiar with. Unfortunately the only other culture I have first hand experience of is that of the UK, so it looks like I can't help you too much.
