Stereotypes about my city

In the 5th and 6th lessons, we did some presentations of some works; Individual Works.  In my case, I did a work talking about Seville, my city. I chose this topic because we had to talk about our identity building or for topics talked in lessons like stereotypes, prejudices, etc.

 I thought that it was a fantastic idea, because Seville it’s a city full of stereotypes about easter, Bulls, “flamenco”, our dresses, our weather, our parties, etc.

I try to shown this as well as possible. I put some videos showing the principal parties: “Easter” and “April’s Feria”.  I felt very happy with the reactions of my classmates, because they didn’t surprised me; They saw this like something strange or inussual, it was a cultural crash, and I liked it, because I understood that they can perceived this in a different way from us.

I found a lot of things to talk about it and I really enjoyed doing my work.

When I was doing it, I really missed my city and I realised that’s very wonderfull city to live and to stay for a period of time. It’s awesome, under my point of view in many aspects.

I think that the stereotypes are true, but in perspective, I mean that, some people achieve these clichés, but, like all, not all people are equal.

With my work, I wanted to transmite that there are a lot of stereotypes that we  achieve, but, there are people that are different and live in their own way and people to are totally opposite of these kinds of stereotypes.

 I tried to show Seville about the outside’s point of view, I mean, I tried to show Seville by the way that I maybe show a tourist person.
