Kultur 10

For Kultur 10, I read the article called "Sorry, We're Closed: The Challenge of Spending Money in Germany." I found the article very interesting because it explains the problems with all stores being closed on Sundays-well most anyway. I have visited Germany many times and understand the frustrations that come along with law in Germany. Many times groceries will be forgotten about until it is too late, or an art project is due and you forgot to get the supplies earlier. In any case, it is simply just another way of life and something to get used to. It makes people plan ahead, which happens a lot more in Germany then in the United States. Here we take for granted the twenty-four hours seven days a week system, which is that a bad thing? I personally like the idea of everything closing on Sundays because it allows workers a day off as well as giving people time to be with family and friends. Of course it takes getting used to, but I don't object to this system and actually find it quite interesting. I know this law will never come to the United States, but it is definitely something to experience.
