Outsourced!

Recently in my Culture and Identity class we watched a movie called Outsourced. Im not going to lie or sugar coat this by any means, normally when we watch a movie in a class i put down and fall asleep because it is boring and educational and i cant stay awake , and sometimes dont get me wrong its intenional, which im not technically proud of but i do do that alot. But when i watched this movie i will say i didnt lay my head down, and i watched it all the way through, it was a really entertaining movie, and i actually really did learn alot about cultural differences and how people react in a different cultural setting then their own. I highly reccomend this movie to watch. I thought the most interesting part of the movie was watching Todd (i believe thats what the main chararters name was) adjust to his new setting of India. At first he hated it, and he slowly learned to love it because he allowed himself to break free of his own cultural barriers he put up!

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

Music is a subculture within itself, different people listen to different music. I dont believe that your cutlure determines the kind of music that you listen to. Ive tired to think about why people like, or listent to the music they listen to and i cant really seem to find the reason, i feel it has so what to do with what kind of music your parents bring you up around as well. Also the group of friends you hang around has alot to do with your music choice, there are many factors that go into it but im not quiet positive. I dont feel that the music one listens to is cultural, but i know the type of music is a subculture.

Friday the 13th!

Scary or not scary? Friday the 13th can be a scary thing if you are supersticous . I for a fact am not at all, and since today was friday the 13th i decided to take a look to see if anyone would really say anything or act on it. I noticed that VERY FEW people said anything about it, and if they did they didnt act on it. it seems as if it is no big deal and doesnt bug us because for the most part, americans are not superstticious. Its just like everyother friday to us. Why do you think friday the 13th in October would seem scarier compared to in the middle of May?

Senioritis- it kicks in early...

For many charter students, i feel as if senoritis kicks in at such an early stage of high school because of the work load. Not only do i notice a difference in my motivation , but EVERYONES motivation once spring braek was done. Everywhere you turn you hear people say "i just dont care anymore.." ill admitt ive said it myself a few times too. I feel like this happens because of the work load charter students receive throughout the year. But in all honest i feel that charter students never really stop caring.. they just have to look harder for that motivation to get their work in , and get it done efficently.
