Argentina
Comparison To Canada
Argentina is very different then Canada so I will talk about many different things such as traditions, sports, landmarks, holidays and music.
Canadian traditional food and drinks are more interesting for example we have poutines, maple syrup, and beaver tails. However Argentina has yerba mate a hot drink with herbs steeped in water, empanadas which is a meat and vegetable filling surrounded in dough, and milanesa which is breaded and fried chicken or beef.
The most popular sports in Canada are hockey then basketball and then soccer. But in Argentina it is futbol, polo and basketball.
Some most popular landmarks in Canada are visiting Niagara falls snowboarding or skiing in whistler or visiting the capilano suspension bridge. In Argentina it is the iguazu falls, Salinas grandes, and Tren a Las nubes.
Some holidays in Canada include Canada Day, Canadian Thanksgiving, and Remembrance day. For Argentina they have the 5 days of passover, carnival, and memorial day.
For music in Canada the most listened to types are pop, rock, country, and hip hop. Argentina’s is Cuban, Spanish, Slavic and Italian Folk music.
Lastly if i had the chance to visit i would for sure since there is so much to see and do with all the celebrations and such plus there are a lot of different foods and drinks i would love to try such as alfajores, empanadas and llama steak.
Core Competencies Reflection
I take on roles and responsibilities in a group i do my share. I did this in my group because my and my partner carefully went through everything that was needed and choose what we wanted to do and if we didnt do it in time for class we would work on it at home.
I can represent my learning and can tell how it connects to my experiences. I did this when i used all the information that me and my partner found to discuss about Argentina to the rest of the class.
I can identify my strengths and identify my potential. i did this when me and my partner discussed what we wanted to do and i said that doing a poster would be harder for us to do together which is a weakness and i know how to do PowerPoints which is a strength.
For a goal i want to be better being in a group with people i don’t know that well or at all since I can usually only work well in a group with at least one person i know and to help me get that goal I’m gonna try and be with people who i don’t talk to at all.
