I'am loosing my identity

When I came to the US,almost 6 years ago, I told to myself that I will never be influce by American culture.

 In my first 3 years it was ok ;I remembered wearing my African cloves in summer or dresse like normal persone. Ididn't care about who was looking at me me at the time, I felt like I was selling my culture. In constrast the last couple were  suprising . I spent alot of money in cloves,shoes. Nowerday I can not say that I still African 100% .I fill like I 'am loosing my cultural Identity from salad boll I 'am dicovering myself in meltting pot.

Cultural Identity Wrap up

There are many identities between countries, for example different festivals. The mid-autumn festival is very popular in China. People would have some special moon cakes in the moon festival. I used to listen some interesting stories about Chang E who is the moon goddess living in the moon with the moon rabbit. I’m so curious about her looks, for many mystical legends about her. I had a mid-autumn festival in the US last year, and it was pretty interesting. People were eating moon cakes, even Americans. Nowadays, a lot of Chinese are celebrate for Christmas also. They are buying some Christmas trees for decoration, and putting some colorful lights around the house. The culture exchanges all the time. I have some special emotions about that seeing some Chinese traditional festivals celebrate in the US. It’s happens to many countries. As what I learned in the pop-culture class, It’s like a melting  pot and a salad bowl.

Culture ID

I learned in this unit that everyone has his own Cultural Identity. When someone decides to live in another country, they normally bring and try keeping his original culture with them. People are extremely stereotype with foreign people want to live in their country. I think the most important thing is keep your culture in your family. Teach every generation about your family costumes. I read an essay in the class about a girl who has a Middle East last name Ali. She and her family is victim of stereotype just because of their last name. She was born in United States. She considers herself an American girl. No matter what she does, every time when a teacher calls her in the school, all of her friends think she is a crazy religious girl and an H-bomb that will explode the school any time. We have a lot to learn with another culture. I like live in a salad bowl country.

Cultural Identity

The cultural identity around us. "People like us" talk about Americas diversity. this reading shows many examples of how America is still segment by choice. Different status live different place. Hvae some examples show Black tend to live in the same neighbour hood by class and being low income. This reading show me the real life in America. And let me know more about America diversity.

Cultural Identity Wrap up

I learned an attitude about Cultural Diversity through this unit. The world is getting changing. Many people can experience other countries culture through Internet, travel. No longer do people be restricted by geographical conditions. For example, each country is active in other countries. Korea Town, China Town, Greek Town, and etc., they keep their own culture, are mixed by other culture. It is called Salad Bowl. Now, people are demanded by globalization that people should respect and admit difference other culture. Anyone must not evaluate as only one measuring stick because other culture value is worthy as my country’s culture.

Cultural Identity Wrap-up

I think that the most important things caught my eyes is how the girl and her sisters wanted to be more American, after I read the article 'Miss American'. Due to the article, some people was settled down America, and they wanted to fit in American lifestyle. Such as, dress up, become housewives and so on. Actully, most of people can't fit in their surrounding.What I learned from this unit about cultural identity is that no matter who you are, if you work hard and became the best one you can be you can reach any goal in life.
