Cultural identity is defined by what a person gains from being a part of a specific society, assumptions that are made by people outside of ones own culture and the sense of ones own culture and what define how you view the world. Everyone who is born and raised on this earth has a cultural identity. With so many people populating our earth, there are hundreds of different identities that exist now, or have existed in the past. Your cultural identity and status in society are defined by many things, including family, religion, food, technology you use, occupation, clothes,, and customs. These aspects of life define people of different cultures as a person.
Cultural Differences Paper Mildred D. Rodriguez Psychology 535 July 4, 2011 Psychology Introduction Because all human beings are parts of social entities (families, clans, ethnic groups, societies, etc. ), it is universally true that we are all individuals within collectivities. It must also be universally the case that there is a tension between our individualism and our collectivism, a tension that is resolved differentially both for individuals and for societies. That is, some societies tend to be more collectivistic than other societies and, within any society; some individuals tend to be more collectivistic than others (Segall, Dasen, Berry, & Poortinga, 1999). The purpose of the following paper is to analyze, interpret and discuss individualism vs. collectivism and their significance in understanding cultural differences.
Yes, I see many ritualistic dances of primitive societies to commemorate death, healing, or praise. As for modern dance rituals are more for happiness, entertainment, or story telling. 3. Ones moral, religious and ethical values may influence ones thoughts on what an art form may be depending on your back ground as far ethics and morals go, you may see paintings and pictures as more of an art form than would see dance as an art and something that you can appreciate. Also depending on your background different art may effect you differently, I know people in my life today that have a stronger emotional attachment to works of art such as painting and drawing than to music and dance.
Socialism postulates that, given all humans are part of a society, then all humans have certain responsibilities to the group in which they find themselves a part. This assumes that all forms of society and civilization are different collective arrangements where groups of people are obliged to share available resources to increase the likelihood of their survival. In the extreme form of both systems, a huge amount of power inevitably ends up concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people. Under socialism, that power is given to leaders with the
So really, there is no way to recognize a good style from a bad style because it is all just opinion, but you can take notice to the fact that everyone acts, dresses, speaks and writes in their own way. I find it important for myself to consider my style choices because I feel that style shows the world who you are and what your character is. On that note, Nicki Minaj definitely shows her choice of style in a very popular music video called “Super Bass.” I myself find it very interesting that this music video has become so popular. I find the song itself to be repetitive and a little annoying, with more than half of the lyrics consisting of boom, badoom and yeah he got that super bass. Without even watching and just listening to the video one can get a sense of Nicki Minaj's speaking or rather, “singing”, style.
Without traditional competition, wins, and loses, it tends to fade to the background of the sports world. If someone was to ask you if you belong to a sports team and you answered, "I’m on a Dance Team”, they’d tell you that dance is not a sport but it is an art. My answer to that question would be that it’s both. Dance is a competitive sport. It has a set of rules.
The emo subculture is not only about the music and fashion, it is also a way of thinking. Emos have a negative and dark view towards life, they are pessimistic and they feel part of a larger group of emos by seeing the world from this point of view. They rather see problem than opportunities and they are often confident that their view of the world is the correct one. By putting the human before themselves and by in majority being very trustworthy, the emos can be seen as friendly and nice, but they live in their own little world. Since emos has a special way of fashion, there are some brands in particular that they wear.
Beur Subculture Analysis Sometimes you don’t really choose the subculture you belong to. Sometimes it’s the subculture which chooses you. It doesn’t mean you are not proud of being part of this subculture, it just means you didn’t choose it. This essay deals about a subculture with which I am familiar from my birth, like a sticker stuck on my birth-certificate, with its lot of stereotypes attached. The subculture that I am talking about is the “Beur” subculture.
The Boys & Girls Club ran several different sports programs so I was always there. One year a month or so before summer I was about fifteen (15). The Director made an announcement that they will be hiring a teen to run the lunch program for the summer. At that time the opportunity seemed perfect, but the only problem was that I wasn’t the only person interested. ---What should I do---- Later on day all I could think about was how could I get that job.
The cause of my paper is music and the effect would be how people relate to it. The effects of how people take music is very large ranged but I think the in general reason for this effect would be because it allows people to feel things they want to. Music is a universal type of entertainment; even though different places in the world have different languages and music types they all have the same want for music. Even in underdeveloped countries where there isn’t much entertainment they still have music if they have to create it themselves. Some countries use music for religious beliefs, such as chants or praise.
