Thanksgiving


Hey guys!


We were talking about Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday in school today. British people celebrate these days respectively on Friday, Saturday and Monday in one week. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are essentially the same expect the date and how the shop sell cheap offers. Black Friday offers cheaper products in shopping malls on Friday and Cyber Monday offers cheaper products online on the following Monday. In general the products are 30-60% cheaper. On Black Friday and Cyber Monday you are able to make the best deals, because almost everything is quite cheap. The background idea of these two days is that people start to shop earlier. It is every year on the fourth Thursday of November. First nation-wide Thanksgiving was proclaimed on 26th of November 1789 by George Washington.

On Thursday 24th of November was Thanksgiving, on 25th of November was Black Friday and on 28th of November was Cyber Monday in the year 2016.

Thanksgiving is a great time to be thankful and appreciate who you have and what you have. It is a time for families to meet, socialize and enjoy the presence of each other.

The story of Thanksgiving is about British settlers who came to the east coast of America to Boston. They build a settlement in winter 1620. The problem was that the British only had to eat fish. The Native Indians were so helpful and showed them how to hunt. Next November British celebrated the first time with the Indians Thanksgiving for the goods like turkey.

See you soon!

Outsourcing – India

Hello everyone! I have just watched the trailer of the movie „Outsourced“, which talks about the cultural differences between American and Indian business life. Today I want to give you some information about the movie regarding the employees culture and outsourcing. Basically what it talks about is that an american guy, who is travelling to Mumbai should learn the people, who are working in the call center, the American culture and mentality. The employees there have an own cultural identity and it is difficult for them to learn the American style. Typical Indian topics like the holy cows or the colourful Holi-festival also play a significan role in the movie. I think it is a very interesting topic, as outsourcing is getting more and more in the future. What do you think about outsourcing?   That is all for today! Thank you for reading! Yours, Kristina
