I am most curious as to what Middle Eastern culture is. What music is popular? Do they watch movies produced in the West? I am especially excited to learn how much the governments of the Middle East affect what is allowed to be watched, and heard in the media, and to what affect they are influencing the entertainment industry. All of these questions will allow me to better understand the people of the Middle East, and why they are portrayed so wickedly in our culture.
On my list of values I am happy to say that our pop culture does not make the top ten. Like millions of Americans I too use Facebook, watch TV dramas, and listen to the latest music. I could not however, sing you a Taylor Swift lyric, name you a character on Grey’s Anatomy, or tell you what is going on in the Twilight series. I am pretty simple, usually following what interests me, and never go out of my way to hop on fads or trends. I enjoy music that compliments my emotions whether it is rock, rap, alternative or even techno.
