American Culture Class: Fashion and Dressing Styles

-->
There are many kinds of fashion and dressing styles along the world. Undoubtedly Fashion, intrinsically represents and reflects basic aspect of different cultures along the world including behaviors, art notions and beliefs.

First of all, behaviors along the world definitely determine the kind of fashion that predominates in an area. For example, in indigenous culture, hunting activities are very important; hence they need to use special kinds of cloth such a boots. For indigenous it could be more attractive or fashionable using boots than sneakers.

Art notion are also involved in the way in which a specific culture dresses, for example, for Chinese people red color is very important in their art, that is why a red dress could be a predominant color in a formal woman event in China.

American Culture: Space and Universe


I would not want to go to space because five years is a long time, also, I need to live in open spaces, I like to talk to different people al the time, and I like to drink and party once or twice at week as well.

Going to the moon for five years requires a lot of sacrifice because one cannot do the things that one usually likes to do. In my case it would be, as I have said, to drink, to party and talk with different people.

I am a very active person and I need to drink weekly because I accumulate too much stress during the week, and one way to push it out is drinking some beer at weekends. Another way to push the stress out of my body is dancing, that is way I need to dance or listen loud music each week.

Finally I need to talk to different people all the time, for example when I am in a bus I talk to people because I feel the necessity to do it.

In conclusion, I believe I will not be able to go to space for more than a week, because I like my life in the earth.
