WHAT IS CULTURE ABOUT?

By the time I've been discovering different things that cause to me a big emotional impact, I'm talking from books, films to simple photographies (some of them could be fantastic artworks)...

That's why I'm gonna post, between the learning process, some post called WHAT IS CULTURE ABOUT, in there I'm going to show all what I considered as culture, explain why and put examples.

I think it is a good way to show my point of view and see how the subject is teaching me, I mean, maybe at the beggining I considered a lot of things as culture and by the days I could change my point of view and become more critical.

Also I could show things that I adore. The first one is this, it is a poster that I have in my bedroom since I was 10! Enjoy it !

WHAT IS CULTURE?

The first point of the subject is the definition of culture.

What is your opinion about it?

Well, I think I'm not able to answer this question with a clean idea, but I have to do it in order to see my own evolution.
It is not a new question for me because I like to think and philosophy about strange things... But there are lots of opinions from that topic and I don't a have a clear opinion yet.

What I would say is that culture is us. It's simply but if you get deep in the definition what makes it complicate is the word ''us''.
We are a lot of things thanks to culture and culture is what make us be as we are.

So, for me there are a lot of elements that I considered as culture, but all of them has to have certain qualities: they have to transmit, they have a meaning, you could give to them your own meaning, they allowed you to think, they last for years, they can be simple or complicated... etc

We find all this elements in the things that construct the culture: images, videos, paitings, wild art, music, sport, food, photography, advertisements, artists...

To show it better I would like to post a video in which we can see different sentences about culture's definition, I agree with all:

WELCOME TO MY VISUAL DIARY!!!!!!

WHO I AM? 

It is necessary to know who i am in order to understand better my point of view, isn't it????

 Hi, there!!! Welcome to my blog My name is Karen López. I was born in Badalona, a town located next to Barcelona, in the 1995, so I am 19 years old. Since I was a child I've been thinking about to be a teacher, and when I had seen that degree, Primary School, I decided to do it. Now I'm very excited and motivated because the degree is in english and I think that it is a good way to have more opportunities to do classes in other countries. Because I love travelling!!!!! Apart from that I'm a swimmer and that sport have been showing me the importance of different values like respect, humility, perseverance and sacrifice. That’s why I think that emotional education is as important as math or Language, and we have to educate children in that way, starting with respect. A part from travelling and sport which I love the most is GOOD FOOD , photography and advertisements, yeah it's strange...

WHY I STARTED?

I started this blog to see how my process of learning in the culture subject is changing or not my point of view in relation with the things that we are learning in class but also my personal opinion of what I consider as culture...

WHY AM I DOING A BLOG?

It's simply!!! We are in a digital era, what could be better  than a blog?
It is an easy way to make my opinion public, to discuss and for my the easiest way to show whant I want...It will be full of videos, poems, different texts, reflections, advertisements, pictures, scultures, songs, films, photogrphies...

WHAT IS MY BLOG ABOUT?

As I said I'm doing a degree in Primary School and I was asked to do a visual diary. In this visual diary we have to reconstruct our learning processes in Culture, using reflection and visuality, with the aim of narrating the knowledges and strategies you have acquired during the lessons and activities.

HOW AM I GONNA DO IT?

To do it I'm going to discover what is culture for me, seeing the difference between the first day of the course and the end, to see how this learning process has taught me or changed me. 

Also I'm going to show what I've been learning during the subjects using things that I considered as culture.

So, that's all....

welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
