La estructura de la cultura. Un ejemplo comparativo con la película 'Maria, ihm schmeckt’s nicht!’’

The present study focuses on the investigation and amplification of existing information regarding the field of culture and its current theories and research on the elements that make it up and the differences between cultures, focusing on the analysis and comparison between cultures through the use of different theories present in the field of intercultural communication. From the hand of the theorists Geert Hofstede and Gerhard Maletzke and their theories about the dimensions and cultural characteristics, respectively, complementing this with additional information that allows us to understand, relate and observe these theories with clarity, we intend to give the reader a general idea of the composition of cultures and the elements that differentiate them and make them unique, as well as finding those elements that unite them. The theoretical study will be complemented by a comparative analysis of the differences between the Mediterranean and the German cultures, using the theories mentioned above, initially through the data obtained and published by Hofstede and later making use of Maletzke's theory on cultural characteristics to present a broad and deep comparison between both cultures, in the analysis of the film "My great Italian wedding", of original name "Maria, ihm schmeckt's nicht!".
