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.  

Summary of Blues Texts

       The reading, International House of Blues Foundation Blues SchoolHouse Timeline Overview, talks about the history and the development of Blues. In the 1500s, Africans who have a lot of musical styles began to be traded as slaves from their countries to the U.S. Their friends and families were separated, and they did not have right of freedom and personal property. The things they had were their traditional culture and musical practices. When they were working, they were not allowed to speak. Therefore, they used songs to be the method of communication. In this method and the oral tradition, they had passed their culture and music to the next generation from the 1600s to the 1865 when they were slavers. Because of the Civil War, Africans began getting more freedom even though they were still discriminated and did not have full equality. Then, from the 1865 to 1900, they could use more musical instruments to create music. In this period, the blues was not set form, but the spirituals which were about their religions were the most characteristic form. They also began to have a folk ballad style. From 1900 to 1930, African Americans gained more freedom, so they could travel, live with family members, have personal lives, and then they could have more freedom to create their music. As the result, the content and the ideas of their songs began having different aspects of life. The blues music was born; one was country blues, another one was classic blues. The characteristics of blues music were their life stories and emotions. The blues music began more and more popular, so it spread throughout the South of the U.S. Because of the great migration from 1910 to 1960, African Americans brought their culture and music from the South to the North. After this movement, the blues music began to spread in the North of the U.S. From the 1940s to the 1960s, the country blues began to update and adapt the performances to the urban surroundings when the musicians arrived in the cities. Therefore, the blues began to have the new forms, such as jazz, boogie-woogie, gospel merged, and rock and roll. Because of the successful mixture of rhythm and blues, both black and white began to be attracted by blues music in the 1960s. From the 1960s to the 1970s, soul music, funk, and rap had appeared because of the combination of different music elements, social environment, and economic climate. In the 1980s, rap music and hip hop became the American cultural form, and R&B and soul music also became stronger and stronger. Then, artists began to create music by mixing the different genres together. In the 1990s and 2000s, the music reflected the social, economic, and political climate of the U.S, and the blues-inspired music has continued to tell life stories, social issues, and musical voice with emotions and humor in the new millennium.

Critical Insight:

What is music? The answer from Wiki is that “Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time”. For the computer, the answer is coding. In philosophy, music is a language. In physics, music is one kind of sound which is logically produced by shaking. The general answer from common people is the sound that is composed by rhythm and melody. Actually, it has too many different answers for this question, such as a form of the poet, an art, a thing for relaxing, and “Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La Si.”

I think that everyone has their own answer. For me, broadly, music is one of the human cultural products. To be abstract, music is a power. As “Blues SchoolHouse Timeline Overview” says, the Blues, which is one kind of music, is a method of communication for African Americans. In this case, music is a power to build the community for African Americans. For another reading, “Same Old Song”, it mentions that music can lead people to a wrong value and fight against political correctness. This example shows that music is a power that can influence people’s thoughts. Music is also a power that can stimulate people’s emotion and imagination. When people listen to the fast pace song, they may feel happy and get energy, and when people enjoy the quiet song, they may feel sad and begin to sigh their lives. Obviously, music has become a positive and negative power that can affect people’s lives.

In fact, I do not admit that the vacuous “music” is music. Music should not need to be noble and positive, but music must not be vulgar. A song, Meet the Flockers, by YG caught people’s attention because its lyric is to appeal for robbing Chinese. Also, quite a lot of rap music lyrics have dirty words, such as “Fuck”, “Bitch”, and “Shit”. I think that they can express whatever they want to express. However, for them, the music is just a tool or a form, and they do not really think that the music is an artwork. I consider that not all the sound can be thought as the music.

Everyone should have their specific definition of music, so everyone has their own understanding of music. However, people need to admit that music has become a culture, which connects people together, and a power, which influences people every day.

Aha:

       I like listening to music, but I was not care about the genre. Therefore, when I knew the genre of music, I suddenly found out that why the rhythm and melody of some songs were very similar. Also, music, as the other types of culture, has changed and evolved from the past to the present. It was just like the Blues which extended to many other genres, and they even mix together in one song.

       Bumper Sticker:

Music must never offend the ear, but must please the listener, or, in other words, must never cease to be music. – Mozart

       I didn’t know that:

       Actually, even though I know a little bit of the genre of music, I still cannot correctly distinguish the genre of the music that I listen. However, I think that sometime it is unnecessary to understand the genre. Just to enjoy the gifts that music provide is enough.

Goosechase Activity

      We had an interesting Goosechase activity in pop culture today. My teammate, Tingting, and I went together to complete the tasks which needed us to find and take photos for the appointed things, that were all related to culture, such as music, movie, and art. Also, we needed to find some interesting things that had existed around us, like tulips, the Bean, and garbage.

       Before the time of the game was over, we just focused on looking for the matched things and taking photos. However, when the game was over, I soon realized that the city, Chicago, I lived in was full of diverse cultures, and it reminded me that American culture was combined and evolved by immigrants’ cultures. It also extended my thoughts that our lives, societies, and world were all composed by the factors of cultures.

       Culture is in everywhere; a poster on window, a graffiti on wall, the smell from the red-line, and the weather of the city. Culture that is only a notion just exists in our brains; they are the actual forms that exist in our world.

Culture, actually, is always with us, but we sometime just ignore it because we have already gotten used to having it. This is the best evidence to prove that humans unconsciously create cultures, and cultures unconsciously affect humans.

Responding: Same Old Song

    Why does the “vacuous” pop music exist in society? Because these songs are composed by the common language that people speak in their daily life anytime and anywhere even though some are bad language. The language that people always use will become more relative to their daily life and will be easier for people to understand and accept. In general, when people are talking, they always use simple and direct language, but not use complex and indirect language. For example, when people quarrel, they usually say the “F” word because this word can direct reflect their emotion, indignation. If they do not say this word, what the other language they can say when they are very angry? Can’t they say, “I’m unhappy, crazy, and angry”, to express their emotion? Of course no one will do like that. Sometimes, the bad language, like the “F” word, is the best vocabulary to vent the emotion. Therefore, for a song which has some bad language that relate to sex and violence, they sometime are the simplest and the most direct language to show people’s real desire, pursuing, and thoughts, and they are the words that sometime cannot be expressed by the “good” language.

       In addition, the target audiences of pop music are for common people. Not everyone has a professor degree and graduates from the great educational institution. Common people may not have very high level of language skill or art appreciation to understand the classical music, abstract painting, and literary writings, and these are always defined as the “good” and “high” culture even thought they sometime use the “beautiful” words to describe the “dirty” things. I believe that even for some people who have doctor degree cannot completely understand the meanings of Chopin’s piano music, Van Gogh’s paintings, and Shakespeare’s works. Therefore, pop music, which may be used the “low” and “dirty” works to describe the certain events, beliefs, and thoughts, is just using the most “correct” words to explain their the most real thinking, but not using the most “pretty” words to cover their “bad” thinking.

       Some pop music is composed by the “bad” lyrics, such as sex, violence, and gangster, but in contrast, the successful drama and movie always have these bad factors which have already become the formula of success, and they not only have the sense of hearing, but also have the sense of vision. As the result, if people need to focus on the “bad” culture, pop music should not be the first sufferer, and the first victim is the movie.

       People, especially the children and the youths, always receive the “positive” and “absolutely correct” thoughts from textbooks, great people, and education. They are bored with listening the “good” words again and again, so they begin to be interested in the “bad” words. However, people should not say that the “bad” productions, like the pop music, are vacuous just because they will be short-brilliant. In fact, for music, common people think the classical music, which is certainly a good culture, is much more vacuous because most of them think those music is boring, and they do not understand. As the result, does it mean that people can define the classical music is a “bad” or “useless” culture?

Why pop music is pop music? That is because it uses the common language to talk about common people’s thoughts and lives even though some thoughts are antisocial and against political correctness. Therefore, pop music should be composed by public language which includes the “bad” language.

       Actually, I do not agree that pop music can break the limits because they are not good for the people who do not have enough understanding, judgment, and independent thinking.

Critical Insight:

From silent to voiced, from black and white to colorful, from film to digital, from 2-dimensional to 3-dimensional, movies, as the production of social development, have been evolved for a long time. It impacts people’s emotions, lets people learn to deeply think about their lives, and influences development of humans’ culture.

In general, a movie shows an unreal story, but it reflects a real life and an actual world. In Titanic, people find out the holy promise of love. In The Shawshank Redemption, people understand that the light of hope will eventually come if they do not lose hope. In Grave of the Fireflies, people feel the cruelty of the World War 2. Movies have become the nourishment for people’s minds.

Broadly, movies are humans’ economic, technological, and cultural productions; it reflects actual social situations, such as historical, political, racial, national, interpersonal, and emotional problems. For example, in many White’s movies, Blacks are always the supporting actors and the bad guys. As Tyler Perry’s Money Machine says, “black characters exist solely to teach valuable lessons to white characters.” It relates to the Oscar that all 20 actors who were nominated were all White in 2015 and 2016. Therefore, many Black movies won the Oscar in 2017 because they wanted to prove they were not racism. However, this thinking and result obviously prove that they are actually racism. For another instance, movies are a tool to make money for big movie companies. In order to beat their commercial opponents and earn more and more money, big companies use many methods of commerce war, such as purchasing the small companies and studios, advertising its movie anywhere, employing famous stars, having the best special effects, and belittling opponents’ movies. Therefore, in fact, the bad movies that are made by big companies can get more box office than the good movies that are made by small companies. This is the law of the jungle: the Weak are the prey of the Strong. It also relates to Maltin’s Movie Treasures That Time Forgot; it is unfortunate for people that they miss the good movies that they will never watch.

Movies, which have become a common and popular entertainment, have become a part of people’s daily lives. Movies have also become a cultural and artistic medium for transmitting thoughts and feelings to common people.

Aha:

       Actually, I am not very interested in watching movie, so I am not care about movie news. Therefore, when I heard that Disney purchased Pixar, it soon reminds me that Tencent, which is one of the biggest companies in China, always like to purchase the small companies in order to become stronger and stronger. The most famous trade is that Tencent purchased Riot which created the most popular online game, League of Legends. Tencent is also the developer of Wechat and QQ which are the most popular social media for Chinese. Therefore, Tencent almost rules the Chinese Game market. What Tencent has done is the same as What Hollywood has done. When some companies create new types and systems of a game, Tencent immediately copies them. Once some production teams and companies achieve big successes, Tencent will soon purchase them. These ways make more and more players not have chance to play the good and original games and seriously affect the development of games. I think that the commercial war is anywhere, whatever they are movies or games. However, the bad competition of marketing will destroy the quality and culture of movies and games.

       Bumper Sticker:

Movies, which have already become a specific culture in humans’ societies, reflect the actual world from various aspects.

       I didn’t know that:

       I think almost all the principles and the reasons I have already known because they are the basic rules of the development for the society and the world. Maybe, it let me know more about terms, information and knowledge about movies, like the Genre. However, I do not like watching movies, and I am not interested in sharing my senses and thoughts to others after I watch a movie. Until today, I think that I just watched no more than 25 movies. I also will not be attracted by the movies which are created by famous companies and directors or have all-star cast. I just choose the movies for watching by my feelings and moods.

Movie Poster: Final Craze

    The movie, Final Craze, talks about that two terminally ill men embark on a crazy journey they never thought. They meet at the hospital when they know they have terminal cancer. They soon become best friends. One day, Tommy asks Jacky, “What is your final dream before you die?” Jacky replies, “I hope I can be a millionaire.” Tommy says that he has the same dream, so they decide to realize their common dream. When they are ready to rob the band, they find out a huge conspiracy. A evil group plans to rule their city, and they understand that protesting their city is their final mission. They finally become the heroes of their city.

Movie Genre: Drama

Drama movie always uses general stories, which are relative to people's daily life, and common events, which people have already experienced or will have chance to have, to touch people's hearts and affect their emotions. 

   

 A successful drama movie can unconsciously arouse people’s emotions, feelings, and thoughts. It can let viewers imagine that they are the main characters in this movie, and it can also let viewers find something marvelous from common lives.

A Family Man

This movie, A Family Man, talks about a normal American man how to experience every common day in working, dealing with family relationships, and facing sickness and death. The main character says, “We family has issues, but you only have one family”. This sensitive sentence is very easy to let viewers began to memorize and imagine their own family.

Unit Reflection 2

Critical Insight: What is pop culture? Before I read the reading, “What Is Pop Culture?”, I thought this was an easy question, but it was also a difficult question. The feeling was similar with asking the question: what is the function? I have had math course, and I do its assignments every week. However, I think I cannot explain the meaning of function very well. They look like the easiest one, but they may be the most difficult one. Therefore, this reading is helpful because it lists the elements of pop culture, and I can understand the definition, but not just the feelings. In my word, pop culture is the culture from common people’s daily lives, and pop culture is the expression of common people’s preferences, values, thoughts, attitude, and opinion. Common people create pop culture in four ways: objects, people, events, and places. Pop culture also influences common people in four ways: behaviors, thoughts, customs, and history. For example, I-phone is one of the popular objects which are created by people, and many people hope to buy I-phone because it catches common people’s preference and becomes a sign of standard of live. In conclusion, pop culture exists everywhere; it is a part of our lives. Humans unconsciously create it, and it unconsciously influences human society and each person.

Aha: Everyone knows that pop culture is the connection of people. Everyone knows how to say the definition and reflection, but they may really know what is the real effect and result of connection. After I understood the elements of pop culture, I immediately realized what this is and how it connects me to others and society in my daily life. For instance, the connection of I and David Beckham is his plays and my preference. Then, this preference let me begin to focus the sports, soccer. After that, I got a dream which was to be a soccer player, and I made friends with the people who liked the soccer as me. Our expression may attract the other people interested in soccer. Finally, they will affect more and more people; it is just like I have done for them. For David Becakham, because of his fans, including me, he becomes a famous and popular soccer player. By using this train of thinking and extending the factor to the others, I can easily the way that how pop culture connects people together. Certainly, the connection sometime breaks the gap of gender, culture, race, area, status, and value.

Bumper Sticker: The result of our interaction influences us.

I think this knowledge can let me understand more people’s mentality. I am good at analyzing people’s thoughts and speculating their future behaviors. It is helpful for improving my ability of psychology.

Fads

    Frisbee was popular in America, and it had become popular since 1957. After a person redesigned it, it became more and more popular because it could be thrown more accurately.
    Frisbee is a sport, and its first match was held in 1974.
    Some people still play Frisbee in parks and grounds today.

Unit Reflection 1

Unit Reflection 1

    Critical Insight: First, I learned the meaning of cultural identity. Actually, I could not completely know its meaning from the texts. Therefore, I researched it on the Internet, and then I think I understand its meaning now. Cultural identity means a sense of identifying a group culture. It is like an individual person is influenced by a group culture. In general, cultural identity is the people who have experienced and lived together for an extremely long time identify the meaningful and valuable behavior, knowledge, and customs in their own communities. Also, I learned a few terms, and I understand them by connecting them to my daily life. I understand and realize the term, Cultural relativism, through my wife’s parents. They have lived in the U.S for 5 years, but they still cannot accept a lot of American customs and behaviors because they always use the Chinese standard to define and value the American cultures. For instance, they do not know why they need to pay the tips to the restaurant services because no one dose that in China. In fact, I think they cannot fit in the American society until they change their Chinese thoughts into American values. In addition, I learned more details about cultural diversity by the CIP. After I heard some Chinese classmates’ speech, I found out that even though they and I are from the same country and even the same city, their cultures are somehow different from mine. It is very surprised me that in the same city, it still have many different local languages that I have never heard. For me, I think the best ways of learning cultures are connecting the knowledge to daily life and communicating with more people who are from different places.

    Aha: My Aha moment was when I understand the meaning of the iceberg model of culture. That is because the model directly reflects the relationship of culture, and it is very easy to understand its expression and implication. It expresses that the deep cultures which have unconsciously affected people already deeply root in people’s mind, and it has formed by different kinds of human activities and experiences for a very long time, so it is the main thought and value to make people to think and react, and it is difficult to change. On another hand, the surface culture extend from the deep culture, and people completely understand what they are, so it will be easily influenced by many factors, such as the impact of different cultures and the change of local cultures. Another Aha moment for me was when I heard the explanation of Culture Shock because I think this is what I am thinking and experiencing now.

    Bumper Sticker: Culture is created by human, but culture also influences on human.

    Now, I did not know that how to define the people are brainwashed by the other cultures or they just fit in the new cultures if they begin to transmit and prize the other cultures? How to prevent the invasion of foreign cultures?

Movie Reflection – Bend It Like Beckham

Movie Reflection – Bend It Like Beckham

The movie, Bend It Like Beckham, is directed by Gurinder Chadha, and the main characters are Jess, who is played by Parminder Nagra, and Jules, who is played by Keira Knightley. The movie happens in the Britain, and it is a story about an Indian girl Jess, who has a dream to be a soccer player, and Jules, who also has a soccer dream, try their best to fight for the cultural difference and traditional views in order to chase their soccer dreams. In the story, Jess’s families do not agree Jess to play soccer because they think a girl should not play soccer which is defined as a boy sport by the traditional view, and they want her to behave like a girl that is defined by their culture. Jules also has the same experience. However, through their effort and persistence, their families began to support their soccer dreams, and they finally walk on the way to their dream.

From Jess’s families, I found out many details that could reflect the cultural and traditional problems. Indian cannot allow women wear revealingly, and the girls cannot have too much touch with the boys. Also, good girls should be good at doing housework, but not behave as a boy, like playing soccer. If women does not marry and have a success marriage, they do not think those women achieve success although they have a very great success in their works. Woman should not be concerned and worried about anything, but only the marriage. Indian should not marry with Whites and Muslims. Indian women should have long hair. If a woman who can complete all these requirements that are defined by traditional Indian view, then she can become a proper Indian woman. In fact, these are what Jess’s families want Jess to be. Different cultures have their own rules for their lives.

In the movie, some of the traditional views remind me that Chinese also have the same opinions as them. For example, Chinese do not like their daughters to play soccer either; instead, they also require their daughter to do the housework which is defined as a women’s task by the traditional views. Moreover, in China, the general success for a woman is that a woman should be married, should be responsible for housework, and should conceive a boy. If a woman who does not complete all these tasks, everyone will think her life is extremely failure without any reason even thought how high the achievement she has gotten. Sometimes, a successful marriage is the only one standard to value women’s success. Before Jess’s parents want to open the letter to check Jess’s grades, they need to worship. It is the same as some of the Chinese that every time when they have some important events, they will worship the Buddha. I think the thoughts of some people have been restrained by the chain of the traditional views.

In the movie, it reflects many events to show the difference of the different cultures; wearing, behaviors, religion, racism, sexism, gender, regional discrimination, and traditional customs. However, the most attractive thing for me is the sentences which are said by Jess’s father: “I don’t want her to make the same mistakes that her father made of accepting life, accepting situations. I want her to fight. And I hope her to win…I don’t think anybody has the right to stopping her”. These really touch my heart because it lets me remember the love of my parents. Sometimes, parents are just worried about their children may be hurt by the things that they think they are dangerous. They do not want to control their children they just want to protect them. Maybe, it is too protective, but this is the love of parents. As the soccer coach Joe said, “But your parents don’t always know what’s best for you, Jess.” However, her parents still wants to give the best to Jess.

    I like this movie because it expresses that no matter the religion, the skin, the country, and the culture people have, if they like soccer, they can enjoy the soccer as well as the famous soccer star David Beckham. I, as Beckham fan, I think I can understand why the movie use those plots in this movie. In the game, Jess was rudely fouled and abused by a player, and she immediately pushed that player after she woke up. Then, she gets the red card. It maps Beckham had the same experience as Jess in the game of England and Argentina in 1988 World cup. Furthermore, Jess missed a penalty in the game. This maps Beckham missed two penalties in the 2004 European cup. Finally, Jess was fouled by a player again, but this time she used a Beckham’s style free kick to score. It maps Beckham was fouled by a player again, but this time he scored by his free kick in 2002 world cup. This score is very import for England because it helped England qualify. Even though Beckham never appears in the movie, but audiences can find his trails anywhere.

Explanation of My Poster

Hi, I will introduce each element of my poster in order. There are 6 parts in my poster; the song: Descendants of Dragon, the main religion: Buddhism, the first Chinese president: Mao, the symbolic places, the important educator and ideologist: Confucius, and the kung fu: Tai Chi.

The first part is the song: Descendants of Dragon. This song is very popular in China. In some important and traditional Chinese festivals which want to express national cohesion, people always sing and use this song for a performance. In fact, this song is created for Chinese. The lyric of this song includes some significant characters of Chinese. For examples, it uses descendants of dragon to name Chinese because dragon is the symbol of China, and Chinese always call them descendants of dragon. Next, it talks about two Chinese mother rivers: the Yangtze River and the Yellow river. In addition, it says some biological symbols of Chinese; black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. This song has a great influence in China, and it lets and gives the power to Chinese to improve their national senses.

Then, the main religion in China is Buddhism. Most of the Chinese believe this religion; especially the old generation. Maybe, today many Chinese think they are not the Buddhists, but what the other religions that they believe are the branches of Buddhism. In China, it still has quite a lot of Buddhist buildings in cities, villages, and even on mountains. In the important festivals, many people will go to these temples to worship.

    In addition, the greatest person who no one can replace in China is the first Chinese president, Mao. He created quite a lot of miracles for Chinese. A popular saying in China is that, “If we do not have Mao, it will not have China”. Therefore, until today, it still has many people think the as a god for China, and they worship Mao’s portraitures and statues as they worship a religion.

    I list three symbolic places which are very famous in China and even in the world. The Great Wall, which is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, the Imperial Palace, which is the world heritage, and the West Last, which is an extremely beautiful and famous tourist resort.

    Furthermore, I will simply talk about a very important Chinese educator and ideologist, Confucius. His Chinese name is Kong Zi. In China, most of his methods of educations and theories of ideology have become the Chinese cultural mainstream. In class, someone asked me why he has an English name, I think it may be his thoughts and theories have been affecting and transmitting to abroad. When I do research on the Internet, I found that a famous American writer, Emerson, said, “Confucius is ther center of Chinese education, and he is the Washington in philosophy.

Finally, I want to introduce a Chinese kung fu, Tai Chi. I think many people watched the movie, Kung Fu Panda, and what the Kung Fu the main character, Po, uses is Tai Chi. Tai Chi is very common in China because it is very easy to find out that many people practice it in the parks and squares. Playing Tai Chi is a very good way for people’s healthy. On another hand, Tai chi is an ideology in China. It includes the psychology and philosophy.

Thank you for reading.
