Amir Mohammed
Pop culture reflection paper



First of all, I'm very glad I took this class. Even though people told me to take this class for a college credit, I pretty much found it more interesting than I thought it would be before I took this class. The first thing that made me like this class is that we learn an extraordinary thing like culture. I never thought there would be a class like this in my entire life. Also, the reading, thinking, seeking, and things we do in class are the most enjoyable things in this class. My Aha moment was in culture shock chapter. I really found it impressing, and much it connects to my culture shock experience. Moreover, specifically, the moment I said aha was when the instructor explains the culture shock stages. The stages that the instructor explained were honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and acceptance. Those moments and feeling were the exact feelings that I had when I first came to the U.S. In another word when I first faced a culture shock. I was very impressed that the class can explain my real life experience. I learned a lot with a short period of time I look further to learn more about culture. I had a different weird view for the meaning of culture, but know its being more and more clear for me, thinks too our wise instructor.
