Spanish and English cultures are two of the most prevalent in the world. The two exist side by side and often operate in unison. Looking at a few similarities and differences can be a great way to understand our neighbors.
Spanish is a Romance language spoken in large areas of Europe, most of Southern and Central America, and much of North America. English has Germanic origins and has become the predominant language in global business and media. The proximity between the two cultures has the two languages, such as in in the USA, often makes the populations a dual language society. Examples of this are in Spanish loan words such as cigar, comrade, tornado or patio.
In Spanish cultures, the family plays a central role in both social and business life. In the western world, family has been a historical staple of personal life, but businesses are more often seen as individual ventures. The UK and America have seen a dramatic rise in divorce rates over the last 30 years, resulting in less tightly knit family units.
The food of Spanish cultures is often healthier than the traditional western diet. Spanish food tends to be based on the fresh and unprocessed ingredients. In Britain and America, foods tend to be heavier, with more carbohydrates and fats.
