Descriptive Culture

For inexplicable reasons, there was a colour that makes it presence known in all of the most heartfelt moments in my life. My family had practically lived in a small waiting room in the hospital one time. It was painted blue, and I remember

In an age where the United States has been colored many different colors over the course of many years, younger Americans tend to be more ignorant when it comes to their family's heritage. Journalist, Christine Granados makes an effort to remind readers of their heritage in order to help the readers learn to cherish and appreciate their family's culture. While questioning her readers' own acknowledgment of their heritage, Granados utilizes a reflective tone when reminiscing about her adolescent life in the United States as a Mexican American and describing the impact of her adolescent years on her life as an adult in her article, "True Colors." Granados appeals to the sense of empathy by immediately leading off her essay by recalling her

First off, Vernacular culture is cultural forms built by regular, domestic people, as a specific from in the high culture of a noble. The European High Middle Ages lasted from 1050 to the 1300. The French were the first to preach their works through the vernacular language by the 14th century. After the initial implant of vernacular culture the works spread quickly throughout Europe. One of the main reasons for the spread of vernacular language or culture, was the desire to teach Christianity to a broader audience. Also, women desired to take part in debates and new advances in technology, which helped surpass Latin influence in the everyday lives of the people. Vernacular culture allowed women to have a better freedom of expression and by the 15th century, teachings by these

Green. They say, this is the color good for your eyes. Yes, it may be true. But, what is even truer than that is how it keeps in its surroundings more alive as much as the lively disposition of nature. It has been natural for it to provide what it means. It was said to be a symbolization of hope, joy and loyalty in love. Thus, it comprises the basics of living a real fulfilling

Traveling is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The family has visited numerous places throughout the United States, however, none are as memorable as Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. The three that we visit on every trip to Atlanta are Six Flags, Stone Mountain, and the Atlanta Aquarium.

Many people have different views on culture and what it includes. I think culture is a mix of many things that become a norm for a group of people over a long period of time. I think that culture is a mix of music, food, traditions, and relationships. Cultures also bring together a group of people who hold the same values and beliefs, an example of this would be any religion. Culture affects all areas of a person’s life as it affects the way they view people, make relationships, make decisions and in general how they live their life. While most cultures have existed for many years, they are not static. Many traditions are held to but there are still changes as more generations are joining and the older ones are passing away.

In psychology, green inhabits the traits of possessiveness and envy. Green represents my more boisterous and lively side. Green, a color ideal for the representation of life and growth, displays my cheerful and emotional side. Once I obtain comfortability around an individual I show signs of happiness and sympathy, giving light to my “green” side. A color seen for nature and health, also has an unnurturing half.

In the article “Fluid and Shifting: Racialized, Gendered, and Sexual Identity in African American Children” by Denise Isom. Isom talks about how the researchers were studying African American Children, and racialized gender identity. There were several ways that the research was conducted they include: questionnaires, one-on-one interviews, and observation ethnography. The study was conducted from 2001-2002, in a “lower/ working class African American community near a large mid-western city” (Isom, 2012). The participants were children enrolled in a community based after-school program. To gain insight on early conceptions of one’s self and others as far as gender and race (focusing on how they intersect), children from grades five, six,

Since I was a child I have always loved the color red. Whenever my parents would ask me what color I wanted for various objects, or theme color for a party, I would always choose red. Until coming into this class, I never gave much thought to what the color red represents or why I have always liked it. I have read studies about the physiological and psychological impact that colors have upon individuals, and I have observed the effect of certain colors upon individuals, and I’ve found that my basic reaction to certain colors are different than most people.

It’s eye opening to learn how color is interpreted around the world. As I compare my thoughts on color to that of different cultures I am amazed at the variety of connections that are made through this artistic aspect of life. It seems as if I have the closest connection to the psychological interpretations of color. My thoughts on the color green for example perfectly fit with the psychology description of the color which is: soothing, relaxing mentally and physically, helps with depression, anxiety and nervousness. I think my connection to the psychological interpretations of color stems from my emotional outlook on life, for example my bedroom is painted a deep blue because its calming to me and sets the mood for rest.

Color may seem like a trivial component of a novel that can easily be missed, but it carries a substantial amount of meaning and is tremendously powerful, thus making it an important symbolic element. People link colors to a vast pool of emotions and feelings; yellow is associated with happiness and energy, while green can be associated with tranquility and growth,

Are adults more observant than kids like for an example when it come to listening to music do adult observe the words in songs more than we do as kids? The main idea of observant is to be more alert about what you hear and do. The word “observant” originated in the 1425-1475 by the French, because they were trying to find another word for observing. For example, in my hook I state that adults are more observant about what we read and write than kids or young adults do. The term observant is used most when someone is being alert like they are analyzing everything you see or hear to understand it more clearly. In these paragraphs i am using the idea behind the song Logic 1800 to get the main point of the song and what they are trying to say about bullying. For my second cultural adjective i’m am using the movie The Bucket List to show the point of view that it is trying to show us about living your life. For my third cultural adjective I'm am using a poem name the Remember me to show the reason on why they made it and how it can expire people. In all of these cultural adjectives to find the main point of them you need to be observant this is why it is a good example for all of my cultural adjectives. The observant culture can be found in many artifacts from people's life, including the song Logic 1800, also it can be found in the movie The Bucket List, and the poem Remember Me.

Cultural region is a place or area where people share one or more of the same cultural characteristic, such as a language or religion. An example of cultural region in my life would be found in where I live, in Tehachapi, CA everyone in this town speaks the same language, English. Cultural diffusion is the variety of different cultures coming together and becoming one by sharing ideas/beliefs or switching over and trying new methods. My example for cultural diffusion is found in my family, both my parents were brought up to believe in different religions but when they got married they had to adapt to one religion and because of that they learned new methods and they also created new ideas on how to function as a duel culture, to raise our family. Cultural ecology is the study of relationships between human cultures and the environment in which they live and interact in. An example of cultural ecology would be, the human race, our race is quite remarkable, we have the ability to live and function in our environment and survive it unlike any other species. We can change and adapt to wherever we live and by doing that the human race has survived for a very long time. Cultural interaction happens when cultures collide or “interact” resulting in either changes for the better or worse. A personal example for this would be when my mom and dad got married they were both from different religions and so that resulted in certain traditions given up and new ones that our family now

I sat on the soft, colorful carpet in the corner of the classroom, planning my next prodigious film! Would it be a sequel to my most famous and extravagant movie Argentina? That was my absolute favorite film, mainly because I liked the breathtaking musical numbers in it. I stared at the dark blue walls pretending I was in the rundown, old Beach Orphanage, filled with badly built buildings and sad little children, the magical setting of my movie! “Why my benevolent Argentina, what shall we do with these horrid sandwiches?” I exclaimed. I dropped to the floor as dramatically as I could, pretending to be one of my protagonists Argentina the talking fish! “I don’t know! Those sandwiches are quite malicious aren't they?” Argentina winked at me with her piercing purple eyes and glittering long lashes. She was the shiniest fish I’d ever seen, and she was covered in glittering blue scales. I watched as she started to glitch as in a video game, disappear into a thousand tiny pixels and float away in the sparkly sea. “Do come back Argentina!” I yelled brushing my short hair out of my tearful eyes. “Save me from her! The evil orphanage woman!” I said sinking into the silky sand, the forceful wind blowing in my face. “SANDWICH TIME!” The evil woman yelled as I began to walk back from the beach. “No! Not sandwich time!” I ran back to the water and dove into the mysterious, salty sea. It was cold. No, freezing! It wasn’t long before a wave crashed over my head. I felt the world spin as I

One voice flooded my head. I smile, instantly knowing who it belongs to. A storm of butterflies erupts in my stomach as my eyes flutter open. The bitter cold forces me to take in my surroundings. Grayson smiles back at me, and the world begins to spin all around me.
