Hum- Pop Culture
Cultural Identity Wrap- Up
I realized how people complicate their lives by thinking how to fit in the population. By reading the chapter of Cultural Identity in the text book, I could see that sometimes the people don't appreciate who they are, they just appreciate what people think they are. They just ask themselves: How do I look to other people? or Do I fit in?. These questions are very common on some people that come from other countries, but if we think a little bit more we can realize that not just the people from other countries want to fit in, but also some people from their own country get worried about that. Maybe this is something that happens to all of us in a particular moment, but we should learn that we are special and different to others. We should feel proud of our culture and identity, and it doesn't mean that we can't learn somethings about other cultures and expand our understandings beyond what we think our limitations are. We can not worry if we look or not as if we belong to the group.
Hello Pricilla,
ReplyDeleteI agree with that it is not only hard for the people who are from other countries to fit in a new environment but also for native people, since some natives don't pay their attention to pop culture at all. Thus, I'm just wonder that if pop culture didn't exist, what people would like like?

I totally agree with you, i think that people that come to the u.s should embrace their culture because being different is a beautiful thing. By everyone being different we learn about a variety of cultures and lifestyles.
