Find Web sites that are in different languages or based in different countries. Besides differences in language, note any other differences between non-U.S. Web sites and those that originate in the United States. Here are some features to look for:

• Use of color. Different cultures often associate unique meanings with certain colors. For example, red may be used in India to mean procreation or life, while in the United States it is often associated with danger or warnings

(Hoft 267).

• Issues of privacy. U.S. sites often send out cookies (files sent to your computer that give Web site providers information about you), but other countries, such as Germany, allow no personal information to be used without an individual's permission. Note if any of the sites mention their privacy policy in this regard.

Keep track of what you find, and present your findings in class.
