The following metaphors seem useful when trying to describe culture:
1.- Culture is a backpack. It is hard to carry but it provides necessary things.
2.- Culture is a butterfly. It is a fragile thing of great beauty.
3.- Culture is a pair of handcuffs. It takes away your freedom and traps you.
4.- Culture is a pair of glasses. It helps you to see the world clearly.
5.- Culture is water. It can keep you alive or kill you.
6.- Culture is a mask. It hides a person’s true identity.
Come up with two metaphors of your own !!
This activity was a very different one because through metapohors we could describe culture using, in this way, a different method form the traditional one, which is the typical description. I spend a great time doing the metaphors because we had to be creative with the information that we had searched for describing culture.
