Language is a cultural tie that shows human drift in much the same way we see genetic drift. Languages change over time, and as culture changes, language is slow to catch up. (hence, the lack of a native word for non native foods or technology. e.g. Coca-Cola)

Unit 3 Cultural Patterns and Processes (Language) The image shows how many languages are related and have many common ancestors. Languages are grouped into language families and are even more broadly categorized. Language is a huge part of culture and it is the way that people communicate amongst each other. There are hundreds of languages in our world, but as globalization and pop culture diffuse many languages are being lost and no longer spoken. A good example of a dead language would be Latin. Many of our common day languages trace their roots back to Latin, but no one speaks Latin anymore. |

50 years of communist rule still affect opportunities in Germany today, as these maps show. What they don't show is the social mirror that each provides to the other and the rich discussions about social policy that result. Reunification has been an expensive exercise for Germany, however one that it is committed to.

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, but its influence is still present in today's Germany. History plays a key role in the shaping of political boundaries and that history is clearly evident in Germany. The line where the Berlin wall once stood still divides the country economically. The western part of Germany is far more economically affluent than the east. The USSR may be gone, but its influence still remains.

These two maps (unemployment on the left and disposable income on the right) are but two examples in this article that highlights the lingering distinctions between the two parts of Germany that were reunited 25 years ago. The social geographies imposed by the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall are still being felt from this relic border and will for years to come.

Je partage pleinement l'analyse de Nicolas Offenstadt et je suis très heureux de l'écho que lui donne Nicolas Demorand dans la "1re matinale de France".
