Chinese Cultural Exchange

Our brief cultural exchange featured some surprising aspects. This was new, I did not know that within the students their were also minorities within their ethnicity. To me my belief was that everyone in China was Chinese and that was all there is, but the speaker identified himself was Turkish-Muslim and that there were around 54 other ethnic groups within China, and because of this the cultural aspect of China was a major blend of these minorities blended in together.

Our attempts at trading off information to demonstrate American music culture was, to me, some what lacking. Instead of collectively as a class conveying to the visitors that each of us have our own taste and demonstrating examples we left it up to 4-5 people of our class to talk from their own point of views instead of sharing over 20 or more point of views. For me I view American music culture as everyone else bringing their cultures into the United States because originally we were English colonies until the country itself turned into a mix of every bit of other nation's living in America leaving us with no definition of American music culture. We can define what American popular music and art music is pretty easily. Just take a look at radio, that would be today's latest.

Just a taste of what I listen to.
