              The most important thing that I have learned in this unit is that people are the same and they all should be treated equally because we are all human. Everyone should be respected no matter what color or ethnic they are. People did not create themselves and no one has chose to be white nor black. I have learned a lot about other cultures. We should respect each other no matter where we were from. When I first arrived to the United States, I thought people will make fun of me just because my English was not that good, and that I will be facing some troubles finding friends, but I realized that I was wrong. People have helped me a lot to improve my English, and they became close friends to me. We all came from different countries packed with goals. We all came for a reason and we will have to follow the path to success and to achieve our goals. From our posters, I have learned a lot about other cultures, countries and I had the opportunity to meet with an awesome people and have them as friends. I also have learned about different types of food which made me a good cooker. It is great because I love food and I really enjoy it. freedom is what most people are looking for here in the United States which is a good thing to have the ability to say whatever you want, practice whatever religion you believe, and to share your opinion without getting scared of nobody. In this unit we have learned about cultural identity and a lot of great stuff. I also have learned not to be racist even though I'm not. I think it is time to accept people the way they are not the way they look, because at the end everyone has something to bring to the table. We should not accept people because of their color or how they look, because again WE DIDN'T CREATE OURSELVES.

Wrap up

        The most important thing i learned from in this unit of Cultural Identity is we should not have discrimination to the people who have different cultural backgroup with you. Instead, we should embrace them and respect them. We have more strenth if we learn from each other instead of crowd out people. I found out one thing from myself. When i first came to U.S, I think people wouldn't accept me here because i don't know english and any American cultural knowldge. People who come from a different cultural backgroud have a hard time to live in the new environment. Therefore, i think we all need understanding and respect.

this picture include American's flag and Algerian's flag. the purpose of sharing this picture because a lot of things have changed, when I moved to the United States. When I came to the United States, I was thinking to study journalism. I was pretty sure that what I want. After I started school, I noticed that the method is totally different from my country (Algeria). For example, in my country in the second year at high school, we have to choose what we want to study such as if we want to study medicine, we need to take scientific classes, and if we want to do another major we cannot. Thats why I wanted to do journalism because I thought the system is the same in the United States. once I started to be close to choose a career, the supervisor explained me that I can choose whatever major I want to study. It is the big difference between  the United States and my country Algeria. in the United States we can feel comfortable to change our major, in Algeria the major is decidable at the high school and no way we can be comfortable to change it.

Cultural Identity Wrap-Up

Cultural Identity Wrap-Up By Ann

 

People come from different countries and they have different nationalities, different religions, different cultures, different languages, different attitude, and so on. I learn many things about cultural identity from my classmate's poster such as Chinese New Year, Chinese food, Japanese food, Vietnam food, Chinese musical instrument, Chinese zodiac, soccer in Colombia, and many attractive tourist in each country. Moreover, I learn many things in reading that I've never known before. For example, People Like Us is one of  interest articles. In the article told that American tend more and more often to marry people with education levels similar to their own and to befriend people with backgrounds similar to their own that make me think about class divisions and I think people tend to stick to what or who they were comfortable with. In addition, Home at Last is another article that is interesting.  In the article told that a feeling that has nothing to do with apartments, houses, or miles, but rather the sense that no matter how far you travel, or how long you stay still, there is no place that you can always return to, no place where you fully belong that make me think about losing, loneliness, and lack a sense of belonging to a communicate. The most interesting in the article are the author tries to find a place where he belongs and He feels that can build and belong to the community as well in a new place. In sum, whether we come from. No matter what color we are. No matter how different we are. Finally, we are also human beings that are on the same world.    

Cultural Identity Wrap-Up

        People come from different countries with different cultural and it is interesting for me. I looked everyone's poster about their cultural identity such as China, Thailand, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and myself from Indonesia. All of them have different cultural. Nowadays almost in every countries such as in Indonesia  they share their cultural such as food and fashion. The place where i live in they served Chinese food, Thai food, Japanese food and many more. It shows that even we are not raise from the same countries or cultural they succeed to share their cultural. From the poster i learned a lot of different kinds of cultural.

Nhi Nguyen-Cultural Identify Wrap-Up

When I came to the United States . I knew that many people come to United States from different country , skin color, place, language around the world . They bring an ethnic background such as White American, African, Asian, Hispanic,. Many people still keep their cultures, but some are changing  culture. After Pop Culture class, I knew that one of the reason people come to US because they have problems in their country about life style or religion, or maybe something they don't agree with, so they move to US. They move because they want a better life or more freedom and comfortable, so they can decide it. I'm lucky because I don't have that problems. I hope that culture become integration engage people to people. 

Thank you.

Identity Wrap Up-Linda

       It is a interesting unit about  cultural identity that we learned from class in these weeks. We had read some articles that are talk about  cultural identity. In our class activities, students were made a poster that refer to the culture of their country. Many students did great jobs. I learned a lot different culture from these poster. At this time, I find out the US  is a magical nation, different people from different culture are closely live in a same land. In general, I like this unit of  cultural identity, it is great to learn about different culture that from the other country of the world.
