Cultural Identity Wrap-up

Borders are being lower and lower

 

To me, Globalization vs Americanization was the most memorable one in this cheter.  Just 100 years ago, Almost of people died their hometown where they were born, but, nowadays, a lot of people move to other place even cross border for living, working, studying, etc. Eventhough, They are living their hometown also can get and be influenced other culture`s produce. We can eat Chinese food, wear Prada, watch Holywood`s movie, and communicate on Facebook. We call that "Globalization". Many people confuse between globalization and Americanization, because, high persent of cultual produce was born in The U.S also was spreaded from there. That`s why people confuse.

 

Of course, some country which is influenced by other culture has negative perspective because they lost their traditional culture. But, We have to know that there is no exist a "culture" anymore, but only exist cultures. By development of technology, every culture influence and get influenced each other, even, American, too. So, we don`t need to think too bad about Globalization. That`s a process to develop and evolve own culture as American culture did, do, and will do.

devil in the white city

Devil in the White City talks about two actual stories that occur in Chicago in the late 1880s and the early 1890s . The story of the White City enhances the story of the Devil that found contetment within its walls. Daniel Burnham and John Root created the White City with the help of many some professional artichret from New York, Boston, St. Louis and Chicago. Throughout challenges and tragedy.Burnham moved the planning and building of the White City forward and never gave up. He focused on his own career and the fact that all of America was counting on him to earn the world's respect. The White City is the name given to the 1893 World's Exposition celebrating Columbus' discovery of America. Chicago was given the honor of hosting the elaborate affair. Many people were afraid about what would be no better than a county fair, because they believed that.
