Pop Culture

There was another me since I came to the United States. I have changed, or in other words, I have been changed since I came here. Also, I felt extremely uncomfortable when I was with my cousins or the friend I just made because we usually did not have the same topic in our conversation. I realized that was because we had totally different, even opposite, cultural background. In addition, I could not understand every single word that came out of their mouths whenever they talked about anything popular, such as movies, singers, electric products. Therefore, I recognized it is necessary for me to learn more about popular culture in the United States. On the other hand, I found I have changed myself a lot during the process of learning. My style of dressing, the way I talk and the way I think have all been different somehow.

As I said, I have realized that learning the new culture, American cultural background, is extremely important for every moment in my daily life in the United States. I found I could not fit in with my friends before I really got in touch with American pop culture. In addition, this was also why I took this class, Pop Culture. On the other side, while I was earning knowledge from the class, I discovered it is very funny and interesting to get known of people, who have different cultural background. More so, I realized respecting with this difference is also necessary. And now, I am almost able to communicate with my friends or my relatives, who were born here, normally. Furthermore, I very enjoy the process of the pop culture class, and I think of it as a club rather than a serious class.
