Course Reflection

In general this course was pretty good, I had no idea before about pop culture. In this class I realized that pop culture is everywhere and it has a huge influence in our lives. Beside the learning part I also had a lot fun with the presentations, I liked my led zeppelin and nirvana presentations and I also enjoyed my classmates presentations. I also had very good classmates and we had a lot of fun in this course. We alsoo surfed the internet several times and we created a blog that is pretty cool too. I enjoyed this course and I learned about pop culture now I know what is it about.

Reflection 3

This unit has been really good. Personally I can say my favorite unit because it is about music and I am always listening to the music. I like many kind of genres like The Beatles, Guns'n Roses, Led Zepellin Nirvana those are like old school. But I also listen the new ones like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kanye West , Nelly Furtado and some music in Spanish too. We went to the House of Blues and we had a great time over there but also we learned how Blues has influenced everything in the American Culture of Music. How the African American used instruments to create music and make the hard work easier to get over.

We also had some genres presentations where we got a little touch about all the different genres and again how all of them come from Blues. We talked a little bit about Rap and we said that this kind of music is designed to bother the parents. This kind of music have strong messages about something that is happening in the world might be war, discrimination, sex, women etc. Finally we had a song Presentation where we had to choose a song and describe it, we had a lot of good presentations and really good songs I enjoyed this unit so much.

Favorite song..

mmmmmmm a favoritee song? That is a really good question because I dont have a favorite one. It depends about my mood, sometimes when I am kind of down I listen the beatles or guns n roses.. Sometimes I am in Party mode so I listen some regueton like Pitbull or Wisin y Yandel or some Salsa music. Im listening to the music all the time even when I take a shower hehehhehe but music makes me feel relaxed that's why I am always in a good mood...

House of Blues

The field trip to the House of Blues was amazing I had a super great time, I sang, I danced, it was so chilling... The whole show was really interesting the lady who was hosting was really goood giving her speech she caught my attention. She talked about how blues influences everything in the American music. I liked the whole show, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Hendrix, The beatles, Michael Jackson, what about the guy who sang rap that was pretty good also... It was good to see how everyone was dancing and dancing and hoow muusic can create this sensation of happiness and forget about everything for a while... We should go again :)..
