I suggest that you do a google search and find anything you want about different cultures.

It's a good topic skyash my friend! You can go to google to find things about many countries as the other friend suggested but it will only give you a general view of the whole thing. And at the same time, if you ask to different persons about the same country you will get different answers. Each person lives in a different country cause each person is different and has a particular way of viewing things. If you get the same answer from many people about a country they are probably based on stereotypes and/or ufanistic ideals wich infect people's mind anywhere. I am brazilian and I have a very self critic view of my (political) nationality. I also don't like the way every nationality is labeled/stereotyped - and brazilian isn't an exception. Our national identity is created by the state, by politicians, by all kinds of artists. And national identity can easily turn into stereotypes wich are fed by foreign people but it always start to be built in the country itself. As a young nation we need to create our own identity to unify the people and we actually have no identity at all. Here things are

different from old nations where the people came first and then the country came second. Why Greece is there in the map? Cause greek people settled there! But a young nation like Brazil isn't like that: State, flag, boundaries, etc came first, the idea of a nation is quite recent, it's from the beginning of the 20th century. It's quite complex to discribe a country, a culture, a tradition, you can only say how you live it or if you live it according to what the national idealistic minds tells you to do it. Actually I think it's impossible to say briefly what a country, culture or tradition really is or how it is even if I tell my own experience of it. A good way is to correspond with people from places you have some idea of and then they will give you a testimony of their daily life wich could surprise you. I know some people from India and I can tell you it's quite interesting to know about them and their lives there: is when all stereotypes just disappear.
Sorry if I can't answer your question the way you wanted it to be, but I think it's good to discuss it.
I hope I didn't make any english mistake here, teachers from this forum may help me now.
