Reflection



From this textbook project, I felt so sorry to my two partners: Takako and Qiao because I have emergency and could not come to class. But I still tried to catch up somethings which I missed,I read Takako's and Qiao'summary. Even though I knew that was not enough information for helping me, and I still needed to write my reflection in this unit. First, I might read my part of reading which was hard to me, and it has a lot of information was about article. My reading was Globalization vs. Americanization from Andrew Lam. He was born in South Vietmanese. He had to move to the United States of America because of the war, and It caused her families and couples of other Vietmanes moved to other countries. From my part of reading, Andrew was using her own story to explain what he thought about Globalization and Americanization. Some people would think Globalization was eating Mc.Donald's, listening Madonna' song, and shopping at the mega's mall but Andrew used his opinion to prove his points. I am agress a sentence of Andrew's point from Globalization vs. Americanization: people 's psychological transformation will affect them , and that will be a line for making distinction between Globalization and Americanization. Because people will have different opinions from a topic, such as a moive, music, and food. Maybe some people would think about Mc. Donald's is globalization for popular food in the world. But some people will have a different opinion, and they thought Mc.Donald is Americanization that reason is Mc.donald was discoving from American. Also, I had learn something from Takako'summary which was the "Croc" shoes, that kinds of shoes sell to nurse or some people need to stand for long time but some businese used its benefit to creat a new opptunity of this shoes and sells a lot. Qiao'summary was about mega mall, and I am agree a point from Qiao' summary. American love to shooping; whatever, how wrost economy is. I am the one of those American love to shopping. this " Grand Mall Seizure" is a good reading to prove my reading part because Qiao thought Biggest Mall is American love to shopping, some American will have oppsite opinion which they thought about mall.. which is good to us ; it might deponds on people's psychological transformation.

rap'song

Rap is one kind of music, which we called rapper in their kinds of music.Rap music is ralated with song kind of Hip Hop music. The popular singer which we know about them : such as Jay-Z, Emeriem, and Akon etc.Hip hop has a molded to severl generation for college, such as our this generation. I think a lot of people like to listen hip hop's music which we called rap'song. Rap'song is orgin from Africa American, and this song also has progress by time. This kinds of song were not only for Africa American, or a lot of people love this kinds of music. Rap'song is more easy to explain something which singer wants to let us know or giving somg kinds of things that show to us. From this video, it was showing some event to us . This is aout 1973NYC,and some rappers were destroying somg public building or transoportation for painting in. Some rappers will use words to explain which part they don't though so or angry.Even though few people didn't like this kinds of music, rap'song still pop in whole world.70s which is beginning of the hip hop's music .Jamaican dj ,who bring this kind of music, called "Kool Herc" which discover rap'song from kingstom to NY.

song presentation... self reflection

Dear: Ms.Gitta

From this presention, I have learned a lot of thing about how to understand what kinds of music have.Music is not only for listening about , and we have to realize about what lyric or singers want to give us some messages about. I think I have a hard work on my presentation is about realize what singer want to talk about in the song that was so hard to me sometime.Because I have spent too mushc time to unsderstand and prepare what meaning is in the song. From choose song to prepare how to present my song, I had face some problem which I don't know what some lyric or song want to say. Finally, I chose Pink'song named "Dear.Mr President" this is Pink wants to write to President Bush, and her message was about please stop the war to others' countries or stopping spent too much money in the war. I learned about the most imporatant thing is understand what singer or song 's meaning in the lyric.If I have one more chance to present my song, I will add more information about what others think about this song. because I added too much my opinions in my presentation. I learned by listening to my classmate's presention is many classmate love to listen rapper's music, even though I like somg kinds of rap's music, some which I don't real understand the meaning . I think I had learn many different kinds of music in our class. This song presentation is changing my mind because it helps me to how to choose some kinds of song.

thank you for reading

My third self reflection

This is my third unit in pop culture class, and I had learn many different knowledge about music ,that I haven't have before. For example, from the reading part of " Same Old Song" is the most hard part to me. because too much vocabularies that I had never use before, I could read the whole paragrph to realize what is the one or two sentences which I don't understant.This is my way to slove some problem which I don't know.Also, I have a part is about the trip goes to House of Blues because I was late to the class that's why I missed the class to this trip. Even though I can't know some information after classmate are coming back to class and discuss, I still felt something was missing. Because I can not been the one of my classmate whom can go there for more realizing about music.I also have a deep memories is about prsentation of song. I was choosing Pink' song: Dear. Mr. President, this song is so touching my heart during I was listening this song.From this presetation, I understand a lot such as song is not only music or no any meaning in the music.Song is more like a poem or letter for givng to people understand about it. I think a lot of people will love some kinds of song because of song'rhytm, it could catch their attention. But much people don't understand lyircs' meaning in the song. From this presentation, I had learn a lot news information, and I will realize the lyrics'meaning first , then I can choose which is mind.Maybe, If we have chance or more time could discus about reading part" Same Old Song" that will be perfect because I think someone will likes me ,who still has a part did not real understand meaning about this reading. Music is not only support some kinds of entertainment to us; music is more kinds of power for support our soul to continus what we want.
