Tv and Movies

I choose a television show to watch based on whats popular. If I hear in class one day that every one is talking about The Walking Dead I will watch the show in my free time and see if its good. If I decided I like it then I will get hooked and start watching it regularly. I also know certain genres that I like so I will look into movies or shows that are in the genres that I like. Some of those genres include: comedy, action, and dramas. Not all movies and TV shows that Ive seen are in those categories so of course you have to branch out and look at different options. Look at what your parents watch or the latest show your best friend just watched. I believe finding TV shows and movies is all about the word of mouth and the popularity of it.

The shift from oral to literature culture has changes tremendously! Before most of the technology from today was around we would be taught by word of mouth. Teachers had to take out books and learn it well enough to teach their students enough information that they obtain the knowledge they need. Now, we have the Internet and YouTube. The access to YouTube has change the way we learn so much because now teachers can pull up a video and it will teach us or we can read articles online. As we progress more into technology we will soon be so used to it that we will no longer depend on ourselves but the technology we use. We wont have to know anything for the computer will do it for us. Although technology is a great thing to have I believe we will become stupid and lazy.

The definition of culture in the book states that it is a learned behavior of and from members of a given social group. I believe that this is true but it needs more to it. I believe culture is about experiencing new things. That you have to go outside of what your social group is that you belong to and experience new things. I think culture also has to do with music, art, people, and things you do. Culture is based off of who you are as a person and as a group on the experiences you come across. Its based on the failures and the successes and that you can always add more to your culture. That everything you do is part of your culture.
