Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Discussion and Essays, grade: 2,3, University of Applied Sciences Dusseldorf, course: Business English, language: English, abstract: Why is bullfighting an essential part of so many important celebrations, especially in Andalusia? Why do so many Spaniards pay such a considerable attention to the drama of killing a bull? These were some of the questions coming to my mind when reading about the corrida, which is regarded as a significant part of Spanish culture. With this essay I want to have a look at the historical backgrounds of bullfighting first, then contrast the cultural and economic importance for the enthusiastic (Aficionados) on the one hand and the criticism of the enemies on the other hand and finish with a conclusion trying to dare a look into the future.
