- Pop Culture
- Pop culture influences me that I would like recent trend. Also this one makes me connect other people, we can talk with popular culture and share what we don’t know each other. First time, when I came here, the food was different, and I really hard to eat. Because that was oily and so sweet for me. But now I can enjoy eating pretty well. Something my behavior also little bit has changed. And in our country, when we meet someone who don't know each other, it's
hard to be friendly. But here, most people who don't know each other treat people very friendly and talk too much. First time I felt something different and thought it was weird. However, I like to know people who don't know me and meet. I have accepted this culture and I am using very well.
- Cultural Identity
Many people have other culture and they need to understand each others’ culture. Some of cultures were mixed and they surround us. For example, the kimchi sandwich is made with kimchi. Most foreign people can’t eat kimchi, because when they eat it, they feel spicy. But this sandwich makes less spicy and they can enjoy.
- Reading - Does sex still sell
This article is talking about some singers are selling their album with sexy dance performance. For example, Britney spear, Lady Gaga, Madonna are doing. Audience who watch TV show about song and singers, they watch singer’s song and dance. Broadcast wants to make more money and they know how to make people focus on watching their show. And this one makes people’s trend. Most people want to watch great performance and sexy dance. These things make people watch the TV show, they will be curious next story of show, and most teenager want to resemble the singers. These things make recent trend and we are following it. I don’t think it is not going to give our children, teenager good effect, but if they didn’t know these things, it would make them stupid and they couldn’t make conversation. So I would like people watch and follow it but not too much.
- Music
I would like to listen to rock pop music. That is very exciting and when I listen to this genre music, it makes m
e feel better than before. These guys, Maroon5 can make people’s feel better and make exiting. They have a lot of famous songs. My favorite
song is “She will be loved”. This song is talking about one girl loved someone but she had something problem for her. So she couldn't love anymore.

The Chicago was awarded in 2002 by Academy Award.
This movie is describing about murder. One woman, Roxie, who wanted to be an actor in Chicago, but something terrible happened by her. She killed someone who cheated her. Finally she went to a jail, and she met one actor, Vella, who was famous in Chicago. She also killed someone. They want to get out of the jail, and then they hired one lawyer, Billy, who was best in Chicago. He made Roxie to be a star that could get the attention all of the media. Finally she won the trial, and she thought she was the star who everyone knew and she thought she could be an actor. But she couldn’t make it. Everyone left her, because another thing happened after hers trial. She fell down with frustration, then Velma came to her and suggested that play a musical with her. Finally they played the musical and that was success in Chicago.
