Lebanese FLAG AFTER THE INDEPENDENCE 
-
.COMPARISON BETWEEN LEBANON AND FRANCE  













Independence day : 

In Lebanon we have the Independence day on November 22,1943 and it was from the french government. In France it is a totally different story it is in the 14th of July (Fete De le prise de la bastille) and it was a continuity of the french   revolution on 1789.
Culture  :
at  school celebrating  our last days 2016
In Lebanon we have Dabke which is so famous in almost every gathering in Lebanon and it should be  done by several dancers and each gender have a different role. We shake hands as shown in the picture and start turning in circles .
In France their is the Waltz dance which is dance that can be done alone and it has specific beats that you dance upon. This dance is not common in France compared to Dabke in Lebanon.
The food :
prepared by my mother(TABOLE,MAKDOS,EGGPLANTS,VINE LEAVES)
 this is a picture of a an ordinary dinner  were Tabole  is considered to be essential in every gathering.
THE CROISANT  WHICH BECAME ALSO IN EVERY LEBANESE MEAL
In france : what is more famous than the French croissant. In Lebanon we are adopting the French culture by embracing their food and they are getting to love our food also. It is hard to find a French person who does not know the Shawerma or the Zattar.
THE LINK : WE CAN SEE THE FRENCH CULTURE AND THE LEBANESE CULTURE ARE CORRELATED. ALMOST ALL LEBANESE CITIZENS SPEAK FRENCH OR ARE CAPABLE TO IDENTIFY THE LANGUAGE.

Comparing Lebanon and Italy      Lebanon is the country where I have lived my whole life. It is located at the crossroads between the Arab world and the Mediterranean Basin, and as such it shares many similarities with other Mediterranean countries, like Spain, Greece and Italy .

But if we dwelve deeper into their respective cultures, we would be likely to find many similarities.   1- Language:    The Lebanese are known for being very efficient at learning languages. The average Lebanese can speak up to 3 languages: Arabic, French and English. Some are also fluent in Spanish, Italian, or German. Italians mostly speak Italian (97%), and a great majority of the population doesn't speak Englis

Similarities and differences between the Lebanese and Canadian

I have lived in Canada and Lebanon for numerous years and as such, I've noticed numerous similarities as well as differences between both cultures. For instance,  in Canada, teenage independence is much higher than in Lebanon. As a teenager of 16 years of age, you're relied upon to get a job and not depend on your parents, while in Lebanon, teenagers cannot get a job until they reach 18years of age and are expected to stay with their parents until they get married. In addition, Canada is a much more organised country with a much better organised system. Lebanon, on the other hand, somehow manages to stay afloat in corruption and chaos. Last but not least, the Canadian culture is much more open to acceptance of people of different cultures, nationality and religion. The Lebanese culture however, needs to take great strides to accept others of different religion and nationality as they takes these aspects of oneself way too personal. However, even with many differences, t
