Blow





Blow

     Blow is my favorite movie. This movie talk about a boy named George grows up in a struggling family. His father is trying to make a living for his family. His mother rely on her husband about living. Over the years, she reveals that he cannot make a living for them and the family goes bankrupt. George does not want the same thing happen to him, and his friend Tuna, in the 1960's, suggests that he deal marijuana. He is a big hit in California in the 1960's then he became a seller.
    As the demand grows, they decide to start buying the drugs directly from Mexico with the help of a few minor Mexican drug lord. But two years later, George is caught in Chicago trying to import 660 pounds of marijuana and is sentenced to two years. After unsuccessfully trying to plead his innocence (by reciting the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s "It ain’t me babe” and insisting that he did no more than "cross an imaginary line with a bunch of plants"), George broadens his business.
   Finally, the film ended by George in the jail for rest of his life. He wasn’t cared about him self rather than his family. He was trying hard to quit but with no hope for doing that because since you involve your self in drugs life you can never go out.

Burj khalifa





    Burj khalifa “Khalifa Tower” is the most beautiful building in the world. It is located in UAE, Dubai. Also, It is the tallest tower, 2722 ft. It designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that would include 30,000 homes, nine hotels, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Khalifa Lake. Therefore, there is a dancer fountain out side of the tower and it’s amazing. It is work after each half hour and you see many people waiting for it. Last but not least, Burj Khalifa deserves a trip to see it.

Fashion as a Cultural Aspect






Fashion as a Cultural Aspect 


     Many people believe that fashion is an aspect of culture as well as art.I totally agree with them because fashion contain from many styles such as clothes, accessories and technology.In this essay , I will talk about how clothes are an aspect of culture.For example, Saudi Arabia has own style of clothes and that came from traditions and costumes since along time ago. Also, Chines have their own way to wear clothes even Indian .In addition all these styles represent their own cultures.Otherwise, if I want to compare our range of clothing in Saudi Arabia to the styles worn in the United States it is deferent in any way. for example we wear another type of clothes such as thobe , shemagh, ghotra , abaya, and hejab. Finally, every country has their own culture and fashion.

The American Culture Class : Superheroes


The American Culture Class : Superheroes

      In American Culture Class we discussed the american idea of superheroes . There are many famous superheroes in American culture such as Batman,Superman ,Spiderman  ,,,etc . We read an except form the book 'superheroes and philosophy' by Jeph Loeb and Tom Morris . Many writers , artists , and other people who create the stories of  Superheroes believe that these characters embody our deepest hopes and fears. They feel that superheroes represent our highest ambitions and help us deal with our worst nightmares .Superheroes have powers and abilities far beyond ordinary human abilities . But most importantly ,every one of them pursues justice,helps people who cannot help themselves ,and fights evil with the force of good. They are extraordinarily powerful people who have both strengths and weaknesses .Plato , the Greek philosopher, believed that good is inherently attractive.But they have probably been around for so long and have continued to be so popular, in part because they speak to our hopes. When we confront adversity in our lives, we are often inclined to just give up and find an easier path. But superheroes show us that nothing worth doing is easy. Batman can keep us going even when the going is is very tough.

The American Presidential Elections Debate



The American Presidential Elections Debate

      In American Culture Class we held a debate last week about the American presidential elections.We discussed many of Obama’s and Romney's politics and what are the difference’s between them. For example Obama is supporting a abortion and same sex-marriage .Otherwise Romney is disagree .And Obama’s policy is the education more important than economy ,So the education is first and the economy is the second .Romney has another hand that the economy is more important than the education .As a result, the debate was very important and we hope the right person wins the presidency of America .

Who is policy do you agree with?

Racism

Racism

     I read a story a bout John who is an African American who played football in college .Also, he was a partner in a large law firm and lived in a mostly white suburban neighborhood .And every night when he came home from work around 6:30pm ,he would change into his jogging clothes and go for a run through the streets of his town .Also, when white people saw him running toward them, they often crossed the street quickly ; several times a police patrol car stopped him and asked for his identification and where he was going in such a hurry .These things mad him angry because the people who lived in his neighborhood take a bad prejudice about him. As a result , we must believe that there are no differences between white people and black people we are the same . All of us just a human being .
