Perspective about Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans Panel

For the class we made internet research about what are the perception US Americans and other citizens have toward Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans. We divided in groups and made the research in different aspects. My group and I did our research on the perspectives US Americans and Spaniards have toward Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans. We based our investigation in different aspects like tourism, culture, politics and economics. We divided the research son everybody had one aspect to study. We found our evidence on tripadvisor.com, abouttravel.com, “El País” news paper, happierobroad.com, and many other pages that had comments regarding does topics about Puerto Rico. We found that in most of the comments written by tourist about Puerto Rico were positive, but in the other hand the comments about Puerto Rico were negative. We think this happens because of difference, The difference in settings make that the tourists like the physical part of Puerto Rico, and the differences in attitude and culture makes that the tourist give negative feedback about the Puerto Ricans. We also found that the Spaniards were more educated about what is Puerto Rico than the US Americans.

 We presented our research in the classroom, but later we presented on a Student Conference at the university in a panel about perspectives of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans. This experience was very different in comparison with other classes’ activities because we had to present in front of students and professors that were interested on the topic and then we had a question and answer part, but we didn’t had time for that part. I was more nervous to present in the conference than in the classroom, because it was more of a formal presentation in which there were going to attend more people watching. I think that was noticeable because I was a little stock with the words.
