I'm interested in learning about the Dominican Republic today. What can you tell me about their Society? 
 There are over 700,000 people of Haitian descent, including a generation born in the Dominican Republic. 
 Are there any other common ethnicities that live there? 
 Yes! There are about 32,000 Jamaicans that live there! 
 Who would have thought? Is there anything else you can tell me about their Society? 
 Well there is also an Arab community there that’s rapidly rising. There are currently 80,000 resident of Arab descent. 
 Nice. What can you tell me about their Culture? 
 Spanish institutions during the colonial era were able to predominate in the Dominican culture’s making-of as a relative success in the acculturation and cultural assimilation of African cultural influence in comparison to other Carribean countries. 
 Are there any traditions or events that are important to the people? 
 Unfortunately, I don’t have any info on that. I can tel you that Dominican cuisine is predominantly Spanish, Taino, and African. 
 That's an odd mix. Do you know anything else on their Culture? 
 Yes! Some of the Dominican Republic’s important symbols are the flag, the coat of arms, and the national anthem, titles Himno Nacional. 
 That's great. Thanks for answering my questions today. 
 Of course!
