Every country has its own specific culture, which is possibly impacted by religion, life style and tradition. Culture is able to make humans get close with other specific groups; however, it is also the reason of the argument. Thus, international students should concentrate on the culture; otherwise, they hardly adapt the new environment when studying abroad.
Culture is defined as a set of ideas which affects behavior within a particular group. Different cultures can make human behave differently. For instance, most of Americans would like to have a party at weekend, while Vietnamese people spend their whole time with family at weekend. Additionally, Americans leave their family and start living independently after they are 18. On the other hand, Vietnamese people love living with their parents till they get married. Thus, human life is influenced strongly by culture.
Next, the religion keeps an important part in the culture, so it also causes that humans behave variously. For example, most of Asian worships Buddha, so they believe in Hell and Heaven. They eat vegetarian food instead of meat because they believe animal also is human being in last life. Therefore, consuming animal meat has the same meaning of killing humans. In another way, Hindus do not eat beef because they think beef relates to a god in their religion. Therefore, they avoid consuming beef, but other kinds of meat such as pork. Thusly, human activities relate to the religion.
Nowadays, most of countries in Africa are undeveloped because of poor countries. Since poor countries do not have enough money to support their citizen, a lot of them are uneducated. Therefore, they do not learn about sex-education. So the population is not controlled, which leads to many unemployed people and homeless in those countries. As a result, those countries impossibly develop as countries in Europe.

Bad design is explained as the customers do not feel comfortable or they even hate the product. This is an example of a bad design of a headphone from Skull Candy. Even though the headphones have the impressive look, they are really uncomfortable while using them. The headphones are quite big and heavy; therefore, it is inconvenience when wearing them. Moreover, the headphones are too tiny when carrying on the neck, so they makes difficult to breath. To sum up, this is bad design that is not acceptable for customers.
GOOD DESIGN
Good Design is opposite of bad design because the clients truly enjoy and love the product when they are using it. For instance, a Nokia cell phone (N86) has the good look and fantastic quality. This cell phone has high technology which consumers are able to use internet and listen to music at the same time without interruption like I phone. Additionally, the cell phone does not need any software in order to take songs like I phone. Furthermore, the cell phone impressively includes the 8.0MO camera, which the picture will be clear such as using Canon camera. Finally, this mobile phone's shape is big and light enough when carrying it around.
This story happened after the hare and the tortoise had their first running competition.
The hare believed that he was better than the tortoise and last time he had been defeated because he had been unfocused. Therefore, he decided to challenge the tortoise again in order to prove how fast he was. The tortoise agreed and came to the competition.
However, he could not overtake the rabbit like last time because of the huge and heavy shell on his back. While everybody concentrated on the competition, no one knew there was a horrible wolf in the forest. He was waiting for any prey to make a decent meal while the competition was occurring.
When the hare had almost won, the wolf suddenly appeared in front of him. The hare stopped running, stayed still, and trembled with fear when he saw the wolf with sharp teeth. Eventually, he was caught.
However, at this time, the tortoise arrived and tried to rescue the hare. The wolf immediately jumped and bit the tortoise angrily. As quickly as the tortoise could, he pulled his head and all four legs into his shell in order to avoid the sharp eye-teeth of the wolf. The wolf bit the shell, so the wolf broke all his teeth. After that, he ran away and disappeared into the forest. Thus, the hare was rescued and they forgot about the running competition.
In the end, the hare and the tortoise recognized that teamwork is very important and necessary to defeat the enemy. They lived happily forever and no one heard about any running competition between hare and tortoise any more.

Design Process
1. The design process used by the team at Animal Logic to develop a motion graphic.
First, they brainstormed lots of ideas for the logos and ID advertisements. After that, Toby presented the idea to the client who approved the basic drawings and storyboards of the idea.
Second, the designer worked with 3D animators to develop the animation to create the final animation. At last, they put all the different parts of the animation together.
2. What gives Toby the best indication of how successful his final design solution is to his client.
Clear understanding by the designer of the client's and users' needs is the best indication of the success of designs.
Evaluating the success of a motion graphic depends on who you ask as to how successful it is. For Toby the best result is if his client is happy with the work and he likes it too.
