Stereotypes about Kurdistan
Beutiful Duhok Lake in Winter, Kurdistan
Generally, just like all the other countries around the world we have a variety of stereotypes ,some of them are correct and unfortunately the others are not .
I will start with the social life in and the way that we communicate with each other , we are exteremly communicative and close with each other ,however ,there are loads of things that make us a bit busy ,but we are still considerate .
let's turn to the generosity ,I would say I strongly agree ,we are extremely generous in all aspects ,if it is materialistic or related with feelings and expressing our love in every thing we do .
Unfortunately, we are not open minded and usually we do not accept some un-usual circumstances of some other cultures around us .
The most famous stereotype that I consider ,is the war , in addition of the discrimination of the former regime who ruled this land for long time,and the genocide of the Kurdish villages with chemical weapons ,recently it has been of the international issues to commemorate around the world .
Around our area the majority of us are very patriotic ,we love our land the we belong to .
Most of the time it is quite offensive to talk about the consolidation of the four part
of "Kurdistan" and make it an independent country .
Our cuisine is positively well-known,we have a great home made meals that it is the favorit around the area ,apart from that we have the high quality honey usually made in our own farms ,the other famous is the Yoghourt which is freshly served .
Dancing our traditional dance is one of our inevitable stereotype, especially , around the middle east .its quite popular around March when it's our New Year(Kurdish Calendar )
Consuming Alcohol is pretty favorable and we tend to enjoy all our seasons with Alcohol , especially with the fantastic panorama and the amaze scenery that we have it with the mountains ,and the beautiful nature that we have been given .
