Special Event

In Cantonese culture, if they want to understand a culture, they should try their foods. Therefore, my wife and I went to try Greek food in the Greek Town. Then, we watched their parade of the celebration of Greek independence day. In fact, the parade was not very interesting, but that day was a good time to go outside.

Popculture in My Culture

Can you believe that people are willing to spend 3 to 5 hours waiting in line in order to buy a bubble tea?

This phenomenon is caused by some social conditions.

It also reflects the question, "Who am I?"

Summary of The History of Rap Music

    The reading, The History of Rap Music, talks about the development of rap music. Rap origins in West Africa, and the Africans who became the slaves brought rap music to the U.S. Logically, Africans and Black born in the U.S were the main power to evolve rap music. In the 1970s, rap was a street art which appeared in inner-city schoolyards and street corners. Because the content of rap music was negative, harsh, and vacuous, such as drugs, lust, sex, and racism, rap music and its audience began to be criticized and vilified. However, rap music has still attracted different age groups with the argument for more than 20 years. Now, rap is becoming more and more popular by the creation of the artists and the support of the audiences.
