Reflection about this course.

      "Times flies" Every time I remember that we almost finish this fall semester, I think about how times goes fast. At the beginning of this semester, I have had many thoughts about pop culture class like how it's going to help me in the future. But after the whole time I spent in the class, I figured out that pop culture allow me to understand what's culture in general or what's my pop culture or to make a clear answer when someone ask me what's pop culture, it also open my mind to get to know new cultures all around the world. I learned about movies, music, stars...etc
Not only I learned a lot in this class, i had so much fun during the whole semester. The teacher and my classmates are they only reason that made the class so much fun. I have got a lot of experiences from this class. For example, we got use to make our presentation not only in powerpoint but also Prezi and Google Drive presentation. Although my teachers from other classes taught us about how to use blackboard, i couldn't as understood it as what Gitte have taught us. I'm so thankful for getting new friends from this class, and it my pleasure to my all of you. work hard and you'll get what you want because the key to success is hard work and determination.

Reflection 1

Is cultural identity important to have? As i've learned from this class, it's very important to have cultural identity because it show your background and who are to this world. But if you don't have it so you're not belong to this world. In pop culture class i've learned many things so far. For example, in unit 3 "Define American," that there is many factor affect people's self -  image, One is biological and the other is cultural and composed culture. I've learned that with time and patient, we can experience a positive effect of culture shock. We shouldn't  care about the race that you have, for example, We listened to a song called "One" it tells you that we are all the human beings are the same, it doesn't matter where you from or what color you have, it's all about love. iceberg have three levels, first of all  above sea level is formal, for example, music, dress, food, language, games ... etc. Emotional loud: relatively low. Second, is Informal (Deep culture) and it's partially below see level, in this level the rules are unspoken. For example, eye contact, touching, body language ..etc. Emotional loud: very loud. And Finally, unconscious rules and it's completely below sea level. For example, nature of friendships, concept of "self," concept of past and future... etc. Emotional loud: intense. Aha, many people reject he nation that the United Sate is melting pot where everyone is simply "American" Instead they see american as a salad bowl containing a mix of ethnicities within the larger U.S. popular culture.  

my poster

      My poster explain how my culture is. In high school, male and female students are separate. and all of male students must wear white dress during normal classes we called it "Thoub". And many people can't get enough of drinking Arabic Coffee and eating Dates. also manny saudis like Kapsa very much and i like it but not that much. In my city "Saihat," is famous with fishing, in the past people used to fish a lot but now is much less than before. Ramadan is islamic month. in this month all muslim must fast from eating food and drinking from the sunrise until the sunset EXCEPT the people who can't do it from any important reason. In the capital city of Saudi Arabia "Riyadh" we have very famous tower it's called Mamlakah Tower. Finally, my favorite singer that from my culture is Rashed Almajed.
