Technology

 Today is impossible to imagine my life without technology. Living a modern and busy life style, for me is hard to pick one think that I could not live without; there is a whole list of appliances. I’m going to take one regular day of my life to mentions part of the technology I’m depending on. This morning I was woke up from my Alarm Clock, then I went to the bathroom to brash my teeth and take I shower. After I took a shower, I grab my blow-drier to dry my hair. When I finish, I walk to the fridge to grab a drink. While I was getting dress up I figured out that my cloats is in the drier machine. Finally I was ready to leave my apartment when I find out that I didn’t take the most import thing, MY SMARTPHONE. It’s the most important because on it I had to see in how many minutes my bus was coming, to find out the addresswhere I supposed go and update my Facebook J.

Music

When is come to music I don't have predisposition. In general I enjoy to listen classic music but also there are a lot of pop artists that I like. For example I love to listen Frank Sinatra, Sting, U2 and many other.


My favorite songs, from the classic music are Habanera -Carmen -Bizet  and La Dona E Mobile               ( rigoletto ) L. Pavarotti.








  From the pop music my favorite song is My Way from Sinatra. The song is a story of a men who deals with all challenges of life while maintaining respectable degree of integrity

Reading

On of my favorite reading was Globalization vs. Americanization

During the History the society has been changing. There was era of civilization, colonization, independence, but today we are facing an era of Globalization.
What we mean by Globalization? It's a term  brought to explain a complex series of economic, social, technological, political and entice changes seeing as a interaction between them in disparate location.

Many people today get confuse that Globalization is the same as Americanization. Years ago the american culture had the most influence on the other country, so many american products where seen in different countries around the world like Mcdonalds, Coca-cola, and Levies. However, today Americanization doesn't mean the as same as Globalization. We are now BONA FIDE or cosmopolitans  what means all human ethic groups belong to a single community based on moral, politic and economic relationship between nation or individuals from different nation.

cultural identity

Cultural identity is a identity of a group or culture, or of an individual as far as one is influence from the group or culture where is he coming from. Usually, we are identified our self as a part of the group  where we were born. In addition, that group is different from the other in compering tier food, history, language, belies, religions, habits and farther more

pop culture

What exactly is pop culture? Pop culture by definition is contemporary life style that is generally accepted by large population of people.
As people we are all different from each other. Using media outlets such as movies, music, television, and video game have been influence us and made look a like. The biggest influences have been on our life style, behaviors and identity. The highest impact on today society and influences the identities over  young populations  are music, movies, and print media. Most children around the world can have easy access for free or for very low cost.
Television and commercial are the second highest form of media that have influence population from 18 to 49 years old.
However as everybody else pop culture have big influence in my life. Most of the time I get affected from the media advertising which make me buy certain type of product. Also, to feel like I'm part of the society and my group of friend I feel that I have to fallow some of the trends such as fashion, events, places and further more.
