Answer:
Each municipality in Spain is allowed a maximum of 14 public holidays per year. In addition to national holidays, of which there are 9, many of Spain’s 17 regions celebrate their own public holidays too. In England, there are 8 public holidays, although an exception was made in 2011 for the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton when an extra public holiday was created.
In Spain, Christmas Day isn’t the main event. It’s all about Christmas Eve – “La Noche Buena” – which involves a huge feast and much merriment. Gift-giving happens in January, while December 25th is all about eating your bodyweight in fabulous cuisine. In England, Christmas Day is the main celebration when gifts are exchanged, and the day is spent with family, eating roast turkey, and drinking together. It’s also tradition to pause at 3.00 pm to watch the televised Queen’s Speech.
The siesta is a famous part of Spanish culture and one that’s often admired by the British! It’s a short early afternoon nap, usually taken after lunch and before returning to work. The tradition doesn’t exist in England, partly due to the shorter nature of lunches, but also because the temperatures are typically cooler. Siestas are more common in warm weather countries.
Shaking hands is expected across both genders, and once a relationship is established, it is normal for men to embrace or pat each other on the shoulder, while female friends may kiss each other on each cheek. In England, handshakes are common although kisses (usually once on the cheek) and hugs are usually reserved between very good friends.
Answer:
The Black Codes, sometimes called Black Laws, were laws governing the conduct of African Americans (free blacks). The best known of them were passed in 1865 and 1866 by Southern states, after the American Civil War, in order to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work for low wages.
It helps you understand by showing you that even though African Americans were considered free, the laws were made in a way that they were still under the control of the people who once enslaved them.
He is the creator of everything and everyone.
Answer:
Once the race is understood as a social construct, several policies and social issues will be created to regulate the members of that race, and traditionally these policies create segregation and prejudice.
Explanation:
I think that two good examples to illustrate this point is the Jim Crow system in the Southern of the USA, and the eugenics policies executed by the Nazis. Both were influenced by the racial racism that emerged in the late 18th century but became strong in the 19th century. When we analyze their practices, it's clear the idea of segregation, to create a strong race, to avoid the racial mixture, but above all else, to control races considered degenerated or dangerous, avoiding their spread. This happened with black people on the US (Jim Crow system), and with the Jews and several other social/racial minorities in Europe under the shadow of the Nazis.
