TV Show

There are many TV show in American media. After I came here, I watched some show, and I just think they are funny. I saw the first show in American is The Late Night Show in CBS. The current show I watch is Ellen Show. I think they are all about pop culture. I can learn many American culture from the TV show. I have never seen a show like these shows. when I watch TV show every time, I always laugh. And I think it will help me to improve my English.

Glog

This is my first time to interview someone, and it is so funny. I worded with our group. We walked in Macy's and then went to the Monument with Standing Beast, they are both about pop culture. We found a security and a seller, and talked with them about pop culture, they are both care less of pop culture. And we got some idea of them. From this interview, I think I learned more information about pop culture.

Technology

I think many things of technology that I can't live without, like the time watch. If someone does not know the time, they will be crazy. For me, computer, cell phone, internet, and so on are important. In my life, I usually use cell phone to contact to my friends. And I use computer to look for the news around the world, complete my homework, and contact to my friends who from China or here. Nowadays, these technology are very important in our life. I can't imagine what will be happen if I can't use the cell phone, computer or other things.

Movies

The Blind Side, one of my favorite movie. The movie is successful; it can attract people to watch it. I think Hancock already has succeeded. Detach the actors and the developmental stories; we also feel the love family and the insistence. When I know that it happened in the real life, I didn’t even believe that. Getting through the story, sometimes I would think how their lives are. If you want to watch this movie, please blend in the story!

I read a movie review by Mark R. Leeper about the movie How to Train Your Dragon. Because this movie is 3-D movie, so the writer use Avatar to compare with this movie. he thought that these two movie's plots are similar. And the "Dragon" gets no points for originality, but it is a good cinema. The plot is about a boy and a dragon.

Music

Music is on part of pop culture, we can't leave music. I like to listen to music, and my favorite singer is Rechard Marx and I love to listen to his music "Right Here Waiting". I really love this song, sometimes I will think about the story about this song. How great the boy is. He still keep going even though the girl do love him anymore. In the past, I have never thought about what the meaning of the lyric. I learn a important part of pop culture.

Reading

This reading is "Text Generation Gap: U R 2 Old", and it is the most interesting what I have read in this class. It is talk about more teenagers using texting message, and their parents feel they are alienated from their children. The children dislike want their parents know what they talk with their friends. This reading made me think about my life. Sometimes, I also do not like to face my parent to talk with my friends. However, if we always use texting, it is not good at our face to face interaction.

Cultural Identity

In my opinion, cultural identity is different from everyone. Each person has different personal culture. In my poster, I put some pictures of mine. It compare about some differences between China and America. I think American culture includes many culture around the world. Some of them are combined, others are separated. In a different area, we should adapt the culture, not reject it.

Pop Culture

We are living around pop culture, we can't leave pop culture. Music, movie, food, most of things are pop culture. After I came to the U.S., I have change my style, like food, cloths. I think I was influence by pop culture. When I was in China, I like a bird in the cage, could not get anything for the pop culture. I began to change my behavior and follow the American fashion.

After I took this class, I learn more American culture and other culture, so as the music, movies, technology,Glog, three word, are popular in our life. From those projects, I can learn more things that I have never known before. As the three words projects, it includes personal pop culture, every one can show how their thoughts of pop culture. From this class, i think I have been blended in the society.
