Describe a meaningful family tradition unique to your culture and explain how it mirrors or contrast with the cultural identity themes of expectations.

 prompt- Meaningful family traditions unique to my culture is party's, dances, the food and drinks, and the weddings. These are very meaningful in my culture because party's bring family together even if they don't want to have anything to do with you. The dances show our true skills and culture. The music beats that will blast so loud the entire block will hear too. The food and drinks make people so happy and thankful. The weddings aren't just normal weddings, their weddings that take days to complete, with different stages of things. 

Summary- You don't have to ever change yourself just to fit in. 

Reflection- All of these things that i have learned will help me to understand you fit in wherever you are because you are your own person. No one can ever take your culture away from you.

Or just as I needed to change myself to make them happy. A big part of my culture that brings a lot of my family together is Tassa a traditional Carribean dance.  2) summary- Today in class we read a article called A Korean Dream.  3) reflection- I learned that being a certain culture doesn't mean you can't be allowed into another culture.
