language and ethnic heritage

Today, we looked into more of the specifics of cultural characteristics.  We discussed language and Ethnic Heritage. In language we took alot of notes.  Like Brazil is the only south American country that speaks Portuguese.  Canada has two official languages which are french and English.  Switzerland has multiple languages, but people get along very well there.  English is now considered the world business language.  We also talked about Ethnic heritage.  In Yugoslavia, there were many different ethnic groups, and they didn't get along well.  That caused them to split up in separate countries.  The ethnic groups were areserbs, croats, bosnians, and albanians. Korea and japan have primarily one ethnic group, while Switzerland and the united states have multiple ethnic groups.
