This presentation will make use of examples (e.g., facts, images, text) to help attendees apply what they know about culture to compare and contrast the lived experiences of citizens in North America and the Czech Republic. Rather than a research presentation, the goal is to exercise the sociological imagination by sharing and evaluating what we know about the cultures of these two nations. We will discuss the effects of capitalism, consumerism, history, and technologies in an effort to build a fun and engaging dialogue about culture.
