Recommending some movies regarding a racism!!
Last week, my team presented a school life, an outcast and a racism.
Although it was quite short time to present, I learned a lot of American culture through preparatory period.
It was the racism that I considered it as very important topic because it is not problem in America but all of the world. It is very profound and controversial topic.
Actually, I have been interested in learning an African- American's culture since I was young, so I naturally have been interested in a racism.
I enjoy watching movies regarding black, racisms, gangsters etc.
In this blog, I'd like introduce you some movies which I watched and handle a racism.
The first is 12 Years a Slave.
This film's background is 1840s in America. At that time, there identically exist slave state in South and free state in North. Although importing slaves was illegal, situation was very different in South. Many black people was sold into farms, orchard and other work places.
This film handle that times situations.
This movie is 42 handle also a racism. In the past America, it was very surprising thing that black play baseball as an athlete. A black man was headhunted from a baseball team. First, he was treated very discriminigly, but he didn't care and concentrated on only playing baseball.
This film is also very memorable for me.

Stereotype of American of Students of a middle school
I work part-time at a academy, where middle school students come to study. I asked them to tell me about their thought of American and the reason yesterday, good things or bad things. A student told me that American looks rather fearful. He told when he watch the American movie, he can always look at many scenes in which ators use guns and are on drug.
So I told them that such scenes are a way to attract the audience and earn money and not every aspect of America.
A girl student told me that American all looks rich and handsome and pretty. She also told that American culture focuses on individual free, so they tend to only think themselves. Some students wanted to be American because westerners have good body and height. Through this conversation, I realized that children tend to more look at others' appearance than inner character.

I want to go to a bridal shower party
Do you know there is bridal showers in Korea? I actually thought that bridal shower open in only America. However, thesedays, many bridals-to-be are opening their parties in Korea.
There is so much food and food and food. Do women in Korea open the party to eat just? If I were a woman, I would go to all bridal showers... hahahahahah
Anyway, I think that this imitation from western is very important and good in exchanging culture of each country in the world.
