Music

My favorite singer is Joy Chou. He is the most popular singer in Taiwan. From 2000, he has already had 12 years of career. He has sold more than 28 million albums and gotten more than a 200 awards within these 12 years. “It rains all night” is one of my favorite songs. It is a perfect example to his unique music style “Zhong Guo Feng”. In this song, he combined the traditional Chinese music with the guitar. In conclusion, I love his music because of his matured music writing skill.

I think the texting generation article is the most interesting for me, because I have been right in this generation. From number pad to now touch screen, I have gotten through all of this and I am still texting a lot right now. I think sometime texting is better than talking on the phone when you don’t have much to talk. The conversation is not instant and I will have some time to reply. This will avoid many misunderstanding between me and my friends.

Cultural Identity

The wonderful things about Hong Kong are its culture. Hong Kong people keep their traditional Chinese culture and mix with some western culture. Now, they become a brand new culture different from the mainland China. Living in this city, people can choose their way to life. You can eat Chinese food or others style of food. You can celebrate Chinese New Year and New Year. You can have a modern wedding or traditional Chinese wedding.

Pop Culture

Since I came to the U.S., there are many things I have been influenced by American popular culture including lifestyle, food and hobby. I started to reduce my night life and go to bed earlier. I started to watch the basketball game and listen to some American music. I think I am adapting to the U.S. and starting to love the American culture. However, there is still something that I have rejected. This is the fast food culture. I think I eat too much fries and hamburgers and stated to hate them.  

    

        After taking this class, I have learned so much. First, I have learned what pop culture is and what the roles we are playing at the culture are. We have done the song and movie. After that, we can develop our new interests, identify our personality, and learn more different popular culture around the world.
