World of Difference
what a world we live in huh? being an asian born american, i have noticed many differences in cultural interaction among many people i have met in my life. whether it's dancing, the food we eat, the way we talk or the just way we look, everyone is different. a prime example i can remember off the top of my head is jersey shore! i'm sure EVERYONE watches that. in the show, we see the way typical guidos party and especially all those delicious meals that they be cooking on every show! it's amazing how different every culture can make something delectable in their own very way. being an asian, i believe that every asian of this generation has noticed something about their parents and grandparents that they never see themselves doing. is it just me, or do asians of the older generation speak really, REALLY loud? it's like their speaking through a speakerphone with their regular voice! my mother is a prime example. some people might as why they do that even when the person is right next to them, but i rarely notice it anymore because it's a regular for me.

Im a Jersey shore watcher too and the melting pot theory is true. The cast's Italian heritage is still evident in all the "American partying;" Im sure their elders didnt have a good time in that way. Well culture is an interesting aspect of who we are and the things we've seen and something we just can not deny. Happy blogging
ReplyDeleteWell in asian culture, speaking loud a way of respect. So go ahead be loud and proud!!!!
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah, my mom speaks really loud on the phone for some reason. and my dad talks as if hes yelling. theres definitely a lot of differences from the older generation of asian americans and the new generation.
