My Current Readings #4

An article found on kare11.com, under cultural news. "Saberi's Father Disputes Charge of Illegal Activities," by The Associated Press. In Tehran, Iran a journalist, Roxana Saberi was involved in illegal activities, really meaning that she continued to work after the government revoked her press credentials in 2006. Saberi's spokes people are refusing to tell more details about this revoke with her work and also about whether she is in jail or not. The Father claims not to have talked to his daughter since February 10th, he says that that day all she had called to say was that she was "detained after buying a bottle of wine," and he says he has not talked with her since. This is connected with other cultures because all of this is occurring in  Iran and within their culture, things may be looked at differently than within our United States culture. For example, drinking wine, or being "detained after buying wine" may have a completely different meaning to their culture, or more so their country. Cultures all around the world are being altered because of the traditions and rules of other cultures. Cultural blending and cultural diffusion are still present daily.
