Blues Summary

   

         Long time ago the African Americans created the Blues as the way to reflect and show their life conditions. The lyrics is related to aspects of life. It was something really sad, because in the past many of African Americans were take from their homeland and transported to other places by ships. The worst thing was they were all separated which means parents , children , husband , wives and many members of the family were separated in different slaves to sale and to work. Moreover, they were treated unfairly, as a result many of them died. The slaves had a difficult life, they did not have any freedom. As we know, the Blues started in United States in order to express themselves through music. The lyric of their song is about suffering, bad things that happened with them on the past, and in order to express their feelings, they created the Blues.

Unit Reflection

     In the classes I Learned a little bit about Culture. Culture is something that is around us. All of the cultures has differents traditions, things that they do , laws and more. If you travel for another country everything will be different than your own country, so culture is learned all the time and it is not inherited. Also I learned about differents terms of culture as Culture Shock. About the culture shock is probably something that all of us realized when we moved to another country as Chicago.Culture shock it means differences between countries, and one example about it is the plastic bags, it commom here to pay for per bags when you buy something at the supermarket, it is totally different in my own country ,actually you can get many plastic bags for free. Another term about the culture that I learned is Ethnocentrism , it is a feeling that lead us to think that our culture is superior than others, something commom today, because sometimes their culture might be stranger or maybe very different for you. Also, many cultures are passed from one generation to another one, because they want to have the same rules , habits . We also learned about the Iceberg culture, there is 3 types of culture, as formal,informal and technical , and each type has a different rule

The formal rule it likes you know the rules, but you do not know the reason. The informal, you do not know the rules and the reason , you do not know why they do it. And the last one is technical, it is like the formal , you know the rules but no the reason.

Well there are many things here in Chicago that is different in my own country , so I have to learn and adapt the American Culture. Understand the rules and the reason.

Diversity Movie Reflection

   It is a great movie and different. I could learn a little bit about the greek tradition by the movie . One different thing that I realized are the parents want their sons our daughters living qwith them for the whole life, something not very commom in this days. Another thing is about dating and married. The father wants his daughter to find a man, but when she found one , he does not want them dating and it is commom parents arrange a partner for their daughter.However that partner has to be like that , he has to be Greek, and be the same religion like them. When the girl does not want to get a married she is sin . So it is a little things that I learned by the movie.
