Eighth Cultural Post: Reflect upon what you have learned from the cultural projects presented in class.
I learned a lot about different specific aspects of Korean and Turkish history that I never knew before. Many interesting and powerful presentations were played in class, and I am thankful that this was the final project. Some things I learned were: how Turkish cinema evolved, what are common Turkish phrases, about solitary Korean life, about Hebrew phrases, about KPOP culture in Korean, and about schooling in the Korean system. These are just a few of the presentations I saw too, which goes to show how powerful presentations can be.
I believe that in addition to learning more about Koreans that I did not know, these presentation allowed me to see how other people viewed Korean. I got to see what aspects of Korean interested my classmates, and why did interested them. I got information about things I would have never known to look up, and that is the real power of our cultural presentations: learning the unexpected things. After the presentations I looked up some of the topics I found interesting, and I learned more about Korea and Turkey. I think I will watch more of the presentations so that I can see the other interesting topics about this countries that I did not know about!
