They are related to cultural aspects, like the American belief that “time is money” or related to other issues, like climate and economic conditions. The most important meal in Brazil is lunch, a meal eaten at noon with the family.

We can see society organization being constructed from things that people eat. As every society has a language, it establishes its own media looking forward people’s relationship.
