SERBIAN CULTURE REFLECTION ON PRESENTATION

FOR MY CULTURAL PRESENTATION I CHOOSE TO DO THE SERBIAN CULTURE BECAUSE MY CULTURE IS SERBIAN AND THAT’S WHERE MY FAMILY AND I ARE FROM. I DID A POWER POINT PRESENTATION, AND I HAD ELEVEN SLIDES WITH INFORMATION. I TALKED AND SHOWED THE SERBIAN FLAG AND THE SERBIAN MAP AND I TALKED ABOUT THE COLORS ON THE FLAG AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT THERE WERE RED, BLUE AND WHITE COLORS ON THE FLAG. AFTER THAT I TALKED ABOUT THE SERBIAN CULTURE, AND HOW THE SERB CULTURE STARTS WITH THAT OF THE SOUTH SLAVIC PEOPLES THAT LIVED IN THE BALKANS, AND HOW THE CULTURE FLOURISHED FROM 1718 IN PARTS UNDER THE HABSBURG EMPIRE. THE SERBIAN CULTURE WAS PRETTY INTERESTING AND THEN I HAD THE SERBIAN TRADITION DRESS AND I SHOWED THEM WHAT WOMEN AND MAN WEAR. THERE IS PARTICULAR NATIONAL DRESS CODE BUT RATHER A REGIONAL MODIFICATION OF THEIR TRADITIONAL. THE MEN AND WOMEN'S DRESSES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT AND HAVE EVOLVED THROUGHOUT THE CENTURY. A GLANCE THROUGH THE SERBIAN FOLK DANCE WILL GIVE A FAIR IDEA OF THE SERBIAN DRESSING SENSE. LIKE MOST OTHER CULTURALLY DEVELOPED RACES, THE SERBIANS TOO HAVE THEIR INDIGENOUS SERBIAN FOLK DANCE COSTUMES. This is what women/girls wear:

THEN WE COME TO SERBIAN TRADITIONAL FOOD, AND I SHOWED THEM A PICTURE OF, ONE OF THE SERBIAN TRADITION FOODS, I SHOWED THEM SARMA. SARMA IS A DISH OF GRAPE, CABBAGE OR CHARD LEAVES ROLLED AROUND A FILLING USUALLY BASED ON MINCED MEAT. IT IS FOUND IN THE CUISINES OF THE BALKANS AND TURKEY AS WELL AS THOSE OF CENTRAL EUROPE, CENTRAL ASIA AND MIDDLE EAST.
I ALSO SHOWED THEM THE SERBIAN OLD ALPHABET AND THE NEW ONE THAT VUK KARADZIC EDITED. I SHOWED MY CLASS THE SERBIAN PRESIDENT, BORIS TADIC, AND I TALKED A BIT ABOUT HIM. THEN I TALKED ABOUT THE SERBIAN RELIGION AND SERBIA IS A MULTI-RELIGIOUS COUNTRY. THE DOMINANT RELIGION IS ORTHODOX. THEN WE COME TO SERBIAN FAMOUS PEOPLE, AS ALL OF US KNOW THERE ARE MILLIONS OF REALLY FAMOUS PEOPLE IN SERBIA THAT ACCOMPLISHED BIG THINGS AND REALLY WORKED HARD TO GET TO HERE AND BECOME WELL KNOWN, BUT I ONLY CHOOSE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE, THAT ARE TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES THAT REALLY ACCOMPLISHED A LOT AND MADE OUR COUNTRY SERBIA A BETTER AND RICHER PLACE WITH RICH HISTORY. BOTH OF THE PEOPLE I CHOOSE ARE DEAD NOW BUT WE WILL STILL REMEMBER THEN, ONE OF THEM IS VUK KARADZIC, HE EDITED THE SERBIAN ALPHABET AND MADE IT LOT EASIER! THE OTHER ONE IS NIKOLA TESLA WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS HIM HE DISCOVERED ELECTRICITY! AND WITHOUT HIM TODAY WE WOULD BE LIVING AND SITTING IN DARK BUT THANKS TO HIM NOW WE HAVE ELECTRICITY AND WE CAN SEE WHAT WE’RE DOING AND WERE WEIR WALKING. I PRESENTED REALLY GOOD AND I THINK I DIDN’T REALLY GIVE MY BEST BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD BECAUSE I DIDN’T PRACTICE I MADE MY PRESENTATION IN CLASS, BUT I WAS ABLE TO REMEMBER SOME MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION. I HOPE I GET A GOOD GRADE, BUT WITHOUT AJDA’S HELP MY PRESENTATION WOULDN’T LOOK GOOD, I THINK AJDA REALLY HELPED ME AND WE RESEARCHED TOGETHER AND WE WERE ABLE IN 15 MINUTES TO MAKE A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION WITH IMAGES, WRITINGS, AND INTERESTING FACTS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
