a. The first paragraph on page 4 was the most interesting passage that I found. It explains how Halil has become successful but still uses techniques and other trades from his old man. The reason I found this passage so interesting is because it shows that certain skills and knowledge do not age over time. Doing things the old fashion way and remembering how you learned different trades and skills is very important.
b. Some interactions between economics and culture present in this article are:
-In chapter 4 when the topic of how new tools helped the working man. Fax machines and type writers made work a lot easier for the working man but it was still important to be able to keep previously learned skills. This is still present in today's economy and culture, because even though there are tools being added to the industries intended to make jobs easier, they also can take away jobs from working men.
c. The country I plan on visiting for study abroad is Spain.
Some of the leading attractions for tourists are:
Prado Museum and Sorolla Museum : Museums are ideal locations for tourists because it gives them a chance to learn about the past of a foreign place that they may never have experienced.
Retiro Park: gives tourist a nice relaxing place to walk and enjoy natures beauty.
Palacio de Aranjuez: place full of gardens and castles which would be a very interesting experience for tourist from America because there aren't many elaborate European castles that we can experience without leaving America.
