1. What is something you learned about another culture this term that surprised or intrigued you?
Culture of Navajo Nation and the Native Americans were what surprised me the most because I didn't really know much about them at all until I started the class. How almost everything they do is in relation with the mother nature, and the connection that they had spiritually through rituals and chants and dances were really something new.
2. What is something that you realized about your own culture through our discussions.
I didn't really know that a lot of Korean traditional dances and rituals had to do with shamanism. Trying to find root/ start of our culture for the presentation, I found out that shamanism was the start of it all.
3. What is something that this course has inspired you to learn more about.
How a lot of the countries all over the world share many things in common culturally and musically. Looking at Tibet presentation today, I thought that it was a combination of middle east and far east right at the center of Asia. This makes total sense because Tibet was almost in the center being influenced by China, Middle East, and maybe a bit of Western Music. I would really want to learn more about all of the cultural connections among the countries that are close to each other.
The Native American culture really interested me too. I liked how passionate they all were. I really love that fact that you know about your history. I wish i had a cool background to be able to connect to. I thought it was very interesting how all the cultures had minor details in common. I wonder what it would be like to travel and compare all the cultures together to see how much they all have in common.
