Heritage Made By Society Analysis
heritage made by society (task 1)
In The perspectives magazine there is many interesting texts. Some are about old traditions, some are about how a country was many years ago and some are about how are name makes who we are.
The thing I like the most about the text in the magazine was the ones about how small things like our skin color or our name changes who we are in the eyes of the people around us.
