India

India is the second largest English speaking country in the world. One of the biggest problems in India is the lack of space. It is said that their major cause of pollution is their own people.

Most people in India are devoted to a religion. Hinduism is the biggest in India, followed by Islam. Because of this, India has the largest number of vegetarians in the world. In India animals are loved and in Islam the most sacred animal is the cow because they believe that when a person dies their soul reincarnates in an animal depending on your life you incarnate in certain animals being the cow the biggest privilege.

Important places and people are from India. For example, most of the people in this world knows or at least heard about the Taj Majal may not know the history of the building or knows where it is, but the name is very famous. India’s most important person and for some people in world’s history is Gandhi. Gandhi fought for the independence of India, but believed more in dialogue than in war. He was able to achieve an independence without fighting.

New Zealand

Is an island located in the Pacific ocean near to Australia, due to this they’re a highly active culture regarding fishing activities and seafood cuisine. By watching their traditional dishes we could notice the marked influence from the Australian (British) culture. New Zealand origins go back to the maori people, the original inhabitants of the island that little by little were displaced by the Pakeha (both Australians and British) and now they only represent 14 % of the population. Another remarkable thing from this country is their truly amazing landscapes that attract every kind of traveler from photographers, journalist, documentarists and filming agencies.

There’s also a high multi-cultural population over New Zealand that provides the region with a variety of arts, language and religions. The most “authentic” New Zealand art is in someway wood carving characteristic for the Maori culture that they used a lot to represent their deities that also belonged to a polytheistic religion from their people. Also at the same time there can be find an strong  percentage of christian followers, although it wasn’t explained why Anglican religion was  not as positioned if they had a high index of England traits.

Liberia

Located in Western Africa, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, between Cote d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone is born from the The American Colonization Society in an attempt of getting rid of slavery in West Africa. In the year of 1847 Liberia becomes independent from the United States of America after writing their official constitution at Harvard University and establishing their  first african governor Joseph J. Roberts. Because of their tight relation with the US Liberia has also been involved in several US conflicts like the two World Wars, backing up the american forces.

A shameful but yet unavoidable part of of the Liberian history and culture had been their brutal internal conflicts (civil wars). First one led by the s Samuel Doe in a military coup against the actual president, the attack was swift yet truly hurtful for the country leaving tens of thousands of casualties among its people. In 1985 Samuel Doe became the president of Liberia, yet “peace” did not last long. From 1989 to 2003 around 250,000 people died in civil conflicts due to paramilitary groups that fought against Samuel Doe government and against themselves. All these conflicts left a damaged country that was economically unstable and susceptible to suffering famine and diseases like Ebola taking even more lives in the process.

Scotland

According to the presentation it is until 1306 when Robert “the Bruce” named himself as king of Scotland, but what it is not said in the presentation is that they are not and independent country. Scotland is part of the United Kingdom. Nevertheless Scotland is trying to be independent since 2014 when the idea was brought again.

Scotland gave birth to one of the most touching movies in the history of cinema. The speech given by William Gallace before the war is known as one of the most important speeches in movies.

Every person in this world when they hear Scotland the first thing that comes to their mind is men’s skirt. Being this the typical dress code in Scotland, they even play certain sports in this outfit.
