1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above. The reason I choose to watch the two particular videos from this week’s blog review was due to my interest in African culture and Japanese culture. I have always been interested in exploring other cultures around the world, which is the primary reason I choose to join the Navy. I have already been lucky enough to visit parts of Africa during a Mediterranean tour a few years ago. It was a true culture shock, and all I wanted to do was to learn more about what made all of these different cultures tick.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. The African video showed me how different our culture is to the many different cultures in Africa. One thing that I thought was very interesting was the continent of Africa probably has more different cultures and civilizations than any other place on earth. You can go to one tribe and experience a totally different culture from another tribal that’s only one hundred miles apart. The video that went into Asian culture was also very interesting, because this is a culture that I know nothing about, so every experience I had was new.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? As always the videos help me to better understand what we are reading. I know I say the same thing week after, but the videos help to bring the whole lesson together.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts? I think the films are great, and the really bring the whole lesson together creating a lot of depth.
