The Iceberg Model of Culture describes a culture’s behaviors and practices, interpretations, and core values. This particular model is interesting to look at, because it shows, how a culture is perceived (the tip of the iceberg) and the actually culture (the 90% that is hidden). When looking at the German culture the most things that come to mind would be: beer, lederhosen and dirndls, Oktoberfest,

These companies consist of companies like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Germany make over $1.337 trillion a year. Over 80 percent of Germany’s land is used for agriculture and forestry. In the western, the number of farms decreased dramatically between 1949 and 1997 because of machinery and economic jobs opened up and offered more money. sence Germany's has a very diverse landscape types of produce agriculture will change from region to region.

Germany is country shaped by many instances of disorder and chaos throughout its existence and especially in the 20th century. During these chaotic times Germans came to realize that the only way to prevent disorder and chaos was Ordnung or order. This philosophy of Ordnung is fundamentally different than the culture in the United States in which the people are trusted to do the right things rather than being forced by a set of written and unwritten rules that regulate social behavior. There are three significant differences between American culture and German culture: rules and regulations, the bureaucracy, and categorization. These differences help explain why German and American culture are so different.

Located in the middle of the Europe, Germany is geo-historically between the Slavs, Roman, and the mountain and sea with high and low temperatures. The country has no single national cuisine because there are so many regions that are located in various part of climate and land. In Ursula Heinzelmann’s Beyond Bratwurst: A History of Food in Germany, there are four factors for regional cuisine in Germany. First, it is because population is never static, and when people move, so will their food preferences. The second factor was when the nation disintegrated, and small political units are formed after the fall of the Charlemagne’s kingdom. Third was the Reformation movement that encouraged the possibility for people to be different from others. The last factor is due to industrialization causing fear of the lost of naturalness and the organic food from the past.

Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.

In addition, Germany’s torn past over war of its modern day is very different form our own, but is very similar in many other ways. However to truly understand the unique culture of Germany, one must know the origin of the unique Art’s, Literature, Sports, Food and, Music, that Germany is known for.

Why do you want to spend a year in Germany specifically rather than in another European country?

Switzerland is best described by conveying an understanding of its geography, political, economic, cultural and social environments. The geography of the country has had a significant impact on its way of life. Switzerland is bordered by Germany in the north, Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein in the east, Italy in the south and France in the west. This represents many significant European cultures converging on Switzerland – the German speaking region, the French and the Italian. Two thirds of the Swiss population lives in the Plateau, between Lake Geneva and Lake Constance, in 30 percent of the country’s surface area. There are 450 people to every 1 km2 (1,166 per square mile). This makes the country one of
