Film reflection


For me, film is just like a kind of culture. Different country make different kinds of film that show their culture. From the film, we can know what the people like or dislike to do in different culture. The film is just like the thought from diferent people. They show their thought to us and let us know how good it is. The film is a better way to show somethings than a book. You can hardly find some deep emotion among many word. But from the actor's action and expression, we can understand what they want show us very easy. It is a better way to show their culture. From the film I have learn many things that I don't know before. It help me to understand the culture all around the world.

Outside study


We have gone out of the school to study the pop culture.
There are four main things that we are study.
The object is tour bus on street.
The people is Marilyn in Michigm Ave.
The event is chicago film festival.
The place is millenninum park.
We also interview two people about pop culture.
Outside study is also a very good way to study the pop culture.

Reflection For Popular Culture


Reflection For Popular Culture
This month,we are focus on pop culture. We are learning what pop culture is. Different from culture. Pop culture happen among a large number of people. That means many people know that or do that.It is just like our everyday life.
Popular culture is made up of four things. They are objects,people,events and places. With learning this. We research the fad during 1950s and 2000s. This makes me know what people like do in different years in America. Another thing we research is the pop star.We find our favourite star and try to understand their life. We research why they are famous in the world.
The thing I am interested in is the video that on blackboard.Stephen Sewell rails against the social effects of consumerism, stating that modern pop culture serves to “enslave” people in a endless cycle of insatiable desire. “Popular culture isn’t culture at all,” argues Sewell. “It’s commerce.”The opposite way of thinking about pop culture let me know our world not good enough. The pop culture make us feel it is good for us anytime and anywhere.In fact it is not, A child starves to death every 5 seconds while McDonalds throws out enough food every day to feed the entire planet.We need understand the truth.
After all, I want say how to understand the pop culture? I think we don't need go to understand all of them. Not all of them are good for us. We can try to find something that we like and then go to learn it.
We should go to learn the pop culture.Maybe it is not easy. But if we know it .It can help us to fit the society better. We can make less mistake and we can make more friends. The pop culture is really very useful for us.
