When we were born, we didn't know what our nationality is and what our culture is. By education, we have been realizing it; where I am and who I am in this world little by little. Every nation has their own culture and identity. It could seem very interesting or it could not. However, I see this thing on the other way. Every culture is special and precious regardless of human's viewpoint, I think. God made and gave each of us the same happiness and same goodness for our life. Even though we are looked very different, we are actually same in this world, on the planet Earth, as a human being. In terms of that, to learn other culture is very worthwhile. On this mean, this work helped us to understand not only American culture but other countries' culture and our own culture&identity going one step further.

Cultural Identity

Nowadays, America is like a large Salas Blow because it has diverse people who come from other countries, religion, speak different languages and other. In addition, they would maintain their culture in American. For instance, Chinese people would celebrate Chinese New Year in Chinatown. Although Americans don't know how Chinese people to celebrate, they know what Chinese New Year is.In this unit, I didn't learn morn America culture that before but I realize how people feel about their background. For example, "They've got to Be Carefully Taught". It makes me know when I ask someone about his/her background information, I should think about his/her feeling.

cultural identity

after i began to study the pop culture, i learned some information of different culture. However, you ask me to tell what is cultural identity, i just can get the general idea. in my opinion, American culture is like a melting pot, everything mix together, but still keep the special thing. last weekend was Chinese new year, it was lively in chinatown. After I came to the U.S. i have already not been adapt to this festival. i have to work in this holiday is one of the reasons. in america, i also enjoy the holiday like thanksgiving, christmas. i think that is cultural identity.

culture identity

what is the culture identity? i do not know. it is very difficult to explain who this is. in order to help me explain, i just post two pictures. one is red packet another one is chinese feast. there excaly express differentiate amercian culture between chinese culture. almost chinese they have red packet from elder, also they have feast for who are invited.

however, american are difference form chinese. for some reason,they do not have red packet, probably they have feast too. but, they are not allow to invite all of relatives attend them. actaully, i am getting american day by day, for i am living america now. those two are only i can find chinese culture different between americans. maybe this is a center of culture in china.

cultural identity

I think cultural identity is so complicated thing like our life. we can feel that anywhere. It can be bad thing or good thing. Becuase If you feel that America is melting pot, then it can be bad thing. But If you feel that America is salad bowl, then it can be good thing. I think cultural identity makes us one or not. It depends on ourselves.

Cultural Identity-Sue!

It is very difficult to explain what cultural identity is. When I read “They’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught”, it reminded me of my situation. I am supposed to study and understand about cultural identity more than other students, because I have an American husband and family and Korean family. In the near future, we may have a baby. She or He! Actually I’d like to have a daughter, so I want to say ‘She’. She will be half Korean and half American. As she gets older, she may be confused of her appearance and situation. She has to live in both countries America and Korea. If she wants to accept only American culture, what can I do? In order for her to understand our cultural identity, I should understand my own cultural identity exactly. I’ll teach her Korean custom like how to bow to elder people at holiday, how to use chopsticks, how to speak Korean language and how respect elder people. I’ll also teach her American custom like how to greet pleasantly, how to use a fork and how to speak English. She can talk to Korean family and American family and work both countries. I hope that she keeps her cultural identities as Korean and American and not lose her originality.

In this unit, the most important thing that i have learned is the differences between all of us. Each one of us is from different country, with different lifestyle, language and culture; however we all share a big interest in getting to know new things, trying to comprehend them and accept. I enjoyed making my poster and learning new ideas from my classmates posters. By doing this project, i discovered new things about your cultural identity! :)
