However,<br /> this is not necessarily true. often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know<br /> about the culture of that country.<br /> Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and<br /> exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue.<br /> In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of<br /> Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, villages inns, English folk<br /> dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British<br /> culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype - that is, general<br /> character which people wrongly think are typical.)
