Reading - Text Generation Gap : U R 2 Old(JK)

Kids want to have their private life, but parents have laways been concerned about children's well-being. Texting with cellphone brings freedom, doing something without parents knowing, to the kids. Kids, who are obsessed with texting or using cellphone don't want to put cellphone away even at the dinner table. Even though the messages are just about routine, they would text with friends rather than spending family time together.
As a result, some parents tried to study how to text, but their texting still very limited, so it wasn't enough to communicate with their children. In addition, Children keep creating acronyms to hide actual meaning to their parents. This is what I am concerned. If parents can catch up the texting culture, would the gap between parents and their kids be getting smaller? My answer is pretty skeptical.

Cultural Identity

This is my whole picture of the poster. I wanted to show 5parts about America according to my first impression. Some of them are similar with my culture and well accepted for me but some of them are not. I am going to explain 'WHY' compare two cultures.
Above three pictures are good examples to show the similarities and differences about the Wedding culture. In Korea, we have traditional wedding ceremony : wearing HanBok, which is traditional coutume for special occasions, traditionl ritual as shown on the second picture. But it has been changed to western style. When you see the third picture, you might find weird things. Some of them are wearing traditional costume but some of them are not, especially groom and bride. We usually have 2 stages for the wedding ceremony, traditional style and western style. So groom and bride have to change their outfit for second stage, traditional style which is called 'PyeBaek'. But I think the meaning of marriage has been changed a lot in America. It's getting more complicated. There is no rules and forms such as sexual identity, wedding ceremony. But I can say that Korean wedding style is definitely 'Melting pot'. For this short essay, I don't want to attach a lot of different informations so I am going to close here.

Pop Culture

Popular means that is chosen by large group of people who live at the same age in the same region as a preference. However, sometimes, it trancend the limits of time and region like Shakespeare's works. Now, I can be aware of how pop culture influences me. The culture, sorrounded me, makes my point of view. When I think of the meaning of beauty, several beautiful celebrities' face cross in my mind. Same thing happens to me, when I think of "successful life", dream house, huge swimming pool, luxurious car, etc. Therefore, I can say that my point of view was composed by pop culture.
When I was in Korea, I thought that be a friend with different aged person is almost impossible. Korean has many kind of words when people call others depend on age. It makes us hard to be closed with dirrerent aged people. Although I still feel uncomfortable when I saw that grandchildren call their grandparents' name freely, I am getting used to becoming friend without thinking age difference.
