Semester Reflection, American Culture

              This semester in American Culture we discussed about many different topics of American community. One of the topics I really enjoyed was the class about superhero. I like Martin Luther King. He was interesting person.  He had supported the freedom and he had talked about the equality. Furthermore, we discussed in the class about American debate between Romney’s team and Obama’s team. It was interesting experience. We learn about the American culture, and we talked about different subjects.
             Moreover, we learned a lot about American society, in that everyone has a little information about American life style. Also, we talk about American holyday, and how the American people celebrate in their holyday.  Likewise, we talked about Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, and we discussed different ideas. Also, it was a new experience to me because I never knew about the same topic.     

Amercan Culture Class: My Hero

               

                Everyone has a superhero in his mind, and everyone wants somebody to help him and to encourage him. However, a hero doesn’t mean someone who has a superpower. In my opinion, heroes are inside in all people’s mind because they have the best qualities, and they help individual to achieve people’s goal.

               First, some of people have a specific quality that can make them a  hero. Those people can make different things by their qualities, and they can create different things or ideas to be like a hero. For example, batman has good quality such as technology, and he uses his quality to help people. Another example, Steve Job had a good quality to speak and he used to speak to support Apple’s company.

               Second, some  individuals support people to achieve their goal. They don’t necessarily have a power to help people, but they want to support people, and they want to encourage them to accomplish their aim. For instance, Martin Luther king helped black people to get their freedom and he didn’t have any superpower.

              In conclusion, everyone has a different hero in his life, and he chooses his hero differently. Also, individuals choose their hero dependence on their qualities and on their accomplishment.

American Culture Class Superhero

            In American culture class, we discussed the American idea of superheroes. There are many famous superheroes in American culture such as Batman, Spiderman, and Superman. We read an excerpt from the book “ Superman and Philosophy" by Joseph and Tom Harris.Most of people think the superheroes that have superpower and are supernatural. However, the writer said the people who create the stories of superheroes believe that these characters embody our deepest hope and fear.

            First, the most important thing  superheroes should have  that everyone of them should pursue justice, help people who cannot help themselves, and fight evil for the force of good. The superheroes typically have superpowers. Furthermore, Plato, the Greek philosopher, believed that good is inherently attractive. The superheroes are depicted as moral forces, or forces for what are good and right.

           Second, not all superheroes have superpower. Some of them are a normal people and they just help people and fight for the right. Also, they have power to protect people. However, most superhero stories are not written to teach us a lesson. Usually, they are just for fun, and the stories of superheroes are so popular because they always talk about a positive impact on the world.  For example, Batman can keep us going even when the going is very tough. It  means people should always try to achieve their goal. 

American Debate

-->

            The debate has become a part of American Culture. Last week, we had a dialogue about political debate in America. In my opinion, the debate in class is the best way to learn because it encourages students to talk, and it makes students influence to speak.

            First of all, the debate in the class was a good thing for my classmates and me. It encourages them to talk together, and everyone support their idea. For example, the Obama’s group talks more than Romney’s group because they want to support their idea.

            Second, everyone in the class talks a little. Therefore, the debate is good to encompass more influence for speaker, in that the debate give the student’s influence to speak. For example, the students in each team should say each word clearly and specifically, in that the debate affects the influence of speaking.

What do you think about the debate?   

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory

           Everyone have a different idea and interesting, in that everyone wants to get this interesting. In addition, the best way to get this interesting is by getting a job and getting money.  For long time age, America has been developing its economy. A lot of immigrations have been coming to U.S. Also, this people wanted to find a job for them, and they worked in unsafe place and for long time with the limitation in their right. On March 25, 1911, it was the deadline disaster in the history of the city of New York. It was the factory called Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. There were a lot of young girls working in the Triangle factory.   On March 25, 1911, the fire was starting in the 8^th floor in this factory, and there were a lot of girls working there, and the owner didn’t tell the employs there was fire. A lot of girls dead in this accident, and the laws in New York state have been changed because this accident. Likewise, the labor movement started in United State.    

John Lennon

                He was born in England. He was a famous singer and songwriter. Also, he was a founder member of The Beatles.
                However, he was contemporary wars as The Vietnam War, and he hates wars. So, he worked as an activism of peace. His Suspended opinions regretted and refused because he wanted   to stop a war. He said “I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.”

Strawberry !!?

          

               One day, the sun shone , and everyone listened to birds twittered in the morning. It was a beautiful and a nice weather. It was a spring time in the unique Island. Everyone preferred to walk around, to enjoy this weather, and these stunning views. Likewise, people wanted to hang out with their families and their friends. Therefore, most of them were interested to go to a park or to go to a forest because it is a good place for camping.

                However, I had been in a wonderful land, and I met a real amusing girl. Anyway, my alarm went off and I realized that I had a dream. I lost everything “the land, the girl and my dream.” Then, I decided to go to the forest.

                So, I went to a strange and murky forest. When I was walking inside the forest, I saw strawberry trees. They were the most awesome trees that I had seen in my life. However, something grasped my attention. there was an odd tree “it was a very red and a very skinny tree.” It was like a rose flower. Also, I wanted to take a picture with this tress, so I went to this tree.  Furthermore, I was trying to touch the tree, and it started to scream. I got scared because I thought the tree couldn't scream, and the tree started to talk . I was surprised, and the tree told me “ don’t touch me.” I felt, I was in the dream , but the tree turned around , and it pushed me . “ make a guess “ he is my friend “ Carlos”
