Cultural Identity Warp-Up


In this unit, I learned that cultural diversity was very important to us. The U.S is a melting pot of culture. We will not only promote our own culture, but also to accept the cultures from other countries.We should touch cultures which different from our culture, and at the same time, we need to keep our cultural identity.Just like many salad bowl in the melting pot. Achieving the cultural diversity is hard, but only this way we can get close to the diversity.

Culture Identity Wrap-up

From this unit, I learned that different cultures should have a communication. Sometimes people like to stay with the people who come from the same culture. Like Chinese, they often like to live in Chinatown. But, I think it is not good. Every person should learn different cultures since we are in America, which is a multi-culture nation. If we wnt to adapt to American life, we should contact with other people who are from different cultures. America is an immagrant country, so there are many different cultures. If we want to make the nation be an entirety, we should make a contribution. Making the dream of the entirety come ture, not only saying the words out of your mouth, but also doing it. Having a chance to communicate with other nations is a better way to comprehend the world.

Many teenagers like hip-pop, breaking, new jazz nowadays. In Chinese cultural, there are many tradictional dances. They are different from pop-dance.
Now I want to introduce two of them for you.

This dance means thousands of hands of "Guanyin". "Guanyin" is a lady god in China. It protect Chinese's health, home, and bring luck to the people. The god has thousands of hands means that it can help people as more as possible. The dance is one of the celebration of the god. It also means that everyone has a good life.
China has 56 nations. Each nation has its own songs and dances. One of them call "Daizu". They usually dance like a peacock. They have their own clothes, like a peacock. On the other hand, their hand of their also like a peacock.In their cultural, peacock is the luncky animal. So they dance like a peocock to give people luck.

Cultural Identity Wrap-Up

In this unit on cultural identity, I have learned about the melting pot and salad bowl concept. I believe that the United States' culture needs to be more of a melting pot than salad bowl. People need to look for similarities between each other, and not only see the differences. Different countries have different culture and tranditions. Some of these cultures are change or lost when they move from their native country, but some will always remain with them in the new country.

CULTURAL IDENTITY WRAP-UP

It's mentioned that the culture of countries are different. We can learn everything from others.I learned that culture and civilization can affect on our mind.And also it causes to change the path of our life. There are two concepts about the culture. First,"Melting Pot" belongs to the past.Second, "Salad Bowl"relates with now or future. Somethings lost own meaning and make another one.Every country have different culture that people transfer to other places.Then, people improve in their life.It causes that the generation differ to each other.I will get accustom to cultural of diversity.It may be about art,knowledge,science even fashion.I think the culture is divided to contemporary and ancient culture that they influence on the aspects of our life that how much we have been improving.
