Flying the Flag

srtaswid — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:38:20 +0000

Go to www.notesfromspain.com and in the search engine type “flying the flag”. Listen to this podcast of Ben and Marina talking about the Spanish flag. Write a thorough response in English to the following questions. Please use complete sentences. You may also respond to each other’s comments. (Just a reminder, this is a class blog and needs to be treated seriously as a school assignment. Any inappropriate comments will be handled according to the SMCC handbook.) This assignment is due Tuesday January 29 2008.

According to Ben and Marina, why does the Spanish flag offend some Spaniards? (You can answer this question from one of two different points of view.) Marina says that Spaniards would never hang a Spanish flag outside of their homes. Why is that? How do others perceive those who do fly the Spanish flag? At what soccer games does Ben mention that there are often Spanish flags flying as a representation of support for Franco’s ideals? How is this type of cultural information helpful to people who plan on traveling? (The question of cultural information is relevant when traveling to any foreign country, not just Spain.)
