cultural artifact

The cultural artifact that I chise for this project was a radio. There is almost noone who does not like to listen to the radio. One great thing about the radio is that there is a station for everyone. This freedom allows for everyone to hear what they want. Just by beign aware of what a paticular person is listening to you can know a lot about a person. Music is something that everyone likes.

Another interesting point is that sometimes each indivdual race has their own preference for the music that they listen to. These differences are something that should not seperate one group fromone another. It is good to get along with people to the same music as you. However you need to be able to associate with people that listen to different music than you. This will enrich you life and your culture

Music is a great form of expression. When people listen to music you can sometimes tell what they are thinking. This makes it easier to relate to someone. Another interesting thing is that people that listen to the same music have simular interests. These people are usually of the same age and like similar things.

Music has guided the world for many years. Music was around even when are ancestors were alive. Music is also hereditary. You may listen to the same music as your parents. After all you were probably listening to music when you were around your parents as a child. This is how much that music truly is a part of all the generations of your family.

The radio is something that has evolved over the generations. Technology has improved and changed. The people that listen to the radio are the same. They still hold to their values. The music that people lisen to cen say something about their culture and values. With this though you ,ust understand that it is not fair to judge a person by what type of music they listen to. It is important to learn about that person as well.

I would also like to ppoint out that when foreigners come to america they have their own music that they like to listen to. They bring music with them from their country. I believe that this is great because it allows them to express their feelings. It makes the foreigners feel more comfortable by having their own music. I believe this is fair because thwey have a right to express themselves. Some foreigners listen to our music as well.

Music is something that constantly changing. They are always coming out with new songs. This keeps people listening to the radio. Many people listen to several different types of music. This makes them more diverse. The artists are always trying to sell something different. Many people buy this music and they enjoy it.

Music is something that many teenagers enjoy. As parents however it is important to make sure that the children are listening to the proper music. At a young age people are exposed to music and it changes their life. People think about the songs they hear. The actions that young people have can be the resultof the music they listen to. Parents are always working towards sheltering their teenagers from bad influences, and it allows the parent to improve the child's upbringing.

As diverse as it may be the radio is a big part of who and what we are all about. Music is something that we all enjoy. Through music we are able to express ourcselves. Music is a large part of any culture. Ryan

Music


Popular culture is what defines what someone is like. Popular culture is something that every group of people have. Culture defines the customs of a paticular group of people. It shows how they think and act. It is important to recognize a persons culture when you work with them. This gives you the responsibility of respecting their beliefs. This allows for business to function easier because everyone feels at ease. I will always want to respect someone elses ideas. Their heritage is what makes them who and what they are and I respect that. I will continue to study culture so that when I do business around the world I will know how to treat someone.


The popular cultural artifact that I choose was a radio. I believe that every culture has specific music which they like to hear. If I was in the car with someone of a different race then me I would listen to their music. I choose the radio because it is very significan to each individual race. Through music i believe that each of us can relate to one another.
