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 :)..

Reflection 2
Reflection
Well this second period of pop culture class was really good. We had many activities, the class has been super entertaining. We learned about many aspects about people's self image. The first one is biological (our gender, our sexual preference, and our physical appearance). The second one is cultural (the culture of our ancestors and pop culture).
We also learned some terms like mainstream, counter, ethnocentrism, that I haven't heard before but now I now. We learned about identity in a virtual world, and how people create avatars to express themselves. How they feel so free because they know they can change whatever they want to change like race, skin color, accent etc. And the best part is that nobody can't judge them.
My aha moment was when we were talking about the fads and I just remember some things that I used to do, for example some songs that were really popular in a short period of time. My bumper sticker about this unit would be “ not an avatar this is real”.
I didn't know anything about pop culture now I know how pop culture is formed: objects, people, events and places. Most common things that we have been using and we are going to use are part of pop culture such as Ipods, toys, Mcdonalds, movies, actors, singers now I have an idea that how those things influence us.
