Cultural Identity

   < Mirror on America >  I just recognized this course talking about the American culture before class . However,I have a familiar feeling when I recontact salad bowls and melting pot .Actually, I do not remember what the specific content.   United States is still a salad bowl ,but it will become a melting pot in the future. As we know, Everyone has their own independent cultural identity. In other words, it is cultural diversity. After I read the Do i look like public Enemy number one and same old song by lorraine Ali,I have deeper undrestanding about cultural diversity in the exchange to make the world more wonderful.and colourful.it sought a relatively uniform in a peaceful environment.         

Cultural Identity

I have learned a lot of stuff about culture diversity since the first day in class. Culture diversity is something that most people do not know about, or they do not realize it. Every day we see and meet new people from different countries, but we do not know much about their culture because we did not hear about it before. Therefore, cultural diversities should be giving as a subject in schools to teach children about different cultures. It will make the child thinks in a different way about other cultures. The result of that, children will grow up and look to each other’s equally no matter their skin color or where did they come from. 

Cultural Identity

As we known, the U.S is a multicultural country, and what’s more, it is a “salad bowl”. All of the cultural diversity makes a delicious salad. It is very interesting, because we can know many difference culture here. However, what thing is shocked me is the opinion of the article People like us. David Brooks stated that the United States was not as diverse as it seems. As a whole, the country was extremely varied, however, when it was broken up into different areas and neighborhoods, the races were actually very similar. Contact to my life, I agree with him. People who come from one country live together. Sometime, it is difficult to make a deep relationship to others. So it separates which is like salad so that you can choose what you like to put in it, which I mean that you can choose which people are your friends. It’s not good if you are picky. Thus, I think I need to communicate with others to know their culture. It is a easy way to know others. From the classmates' poster, I was attracted by their culture. We talked to others to know their thought of the lives in the U.S which are different feeling. Thus, it is time to  make your “salad bowl” more kinds of ingredients!

   There are tons of incredible cultures in Mongolia. Mongolian history has around 5000 years. Mongolians are only nation who has nomadic tradition in the world. If you visit Mongolia, especially during July you watch real Mongolian tradition food. Which is "Naadam". In the 13th century Mongolians started to celebrate this celebration for Great Empire of Chingis Khaan. My Most favorite part of my culture is mine Traditional clothing "Deel". I put Stalin`s (Soviet Union`s Leader) photo. Because you can`t survive without "Deel" in Mongolia no matter who you are.

              I have learned a new lesson and it grabbed my attention since I heard of it. It is melting pot and salad bowl. I have never heard of that and now after I knew what it means I liked it. It showed me that there are two kinds of people and both of them are proud of their background, but some of them needed to be melting pot to fit in. Also, it taught me to be proud of whom I am and not to be ashamed of showing people my ethnicity and personality. I learned about cultural diversity and I recommend parents to teach their kids from an early age like seven years old so when they grow up they become respectful and polite to different ethnicities. Therefore, we will live in a peaceful world without wars.  

Cultural Identity

         At this lesson, I learned cultural diversity is very important to me, to my family, and everyone else. Cultural diversity should be the lesson of different countries history to the kids, not the lesson of discriminate. For instance, we are living in the United States, and we will see different people from other countries. We have been nice to the minority group people. People might learn things from others. Next, people are equal. Kids are the future, and we have the responsibility to teach them to understand that people are equal. No more fight between two different countries kids, since they understood we are the same. Another course, I understood home is everywhere until I try built it. I can build my own home at different neighborhoods, and I just need to communicate with others. People will be nice to me and communicate with me. 

Culture Identity

Culture, in my opinion it means things that people continue to do in the same way from generation to generation. In this class I had learned about culture in many different countries from my classmate. It made me known that it important to know about other culture, because it can help us to realize reasons of things that other different people do, and it can teach us about the way in their culture which is not similar to my culture. In addition, I also had learned about the concept of melting pot and salad bowl which I never hear about it before even I lived in USA for many months. Thus, this idea made me had more understanding about life in America. This class made me wanted to know more about another different culture.
