When we talked about which country is masculine or feminine country, we can see most countries are a masculine country and I heard about a girl from Thailand said their country is from the masculine country turn to the feminine country by gradually. The second institute is about the education differential between with each country; I thought China would be the hardest country which has the toughest schedule for high school student. after people had shared the education situation of their country, I knew the Korean education situation is similar to us, and the teacher of Iran is different with other countries.

And the another game is required us use two cardboards to build a boat, we talked and searched more information from internet and our group also figured out many plans, in the final we decided to build a board like a castle, because it’s safety and it’s good to protect people not fall into swimming pool, then our group won the third place.

    Sometimes I wonder why, out of every city, town, and suburb in the entire country of the United States, my grandmother chose to move to Lynn, Massachusetts. A city otherwise rich in history, but unluckily dubbed over by an ingloriously annoying jingle, “Lynn, Lynn, city of sin, you’ll never come out the way you came in.” I heard it chanted through elementary school hallways, mocked by middle school kids, and hummed by high schoolers. You would think its omnipresence would keep away travelers, but, then again, my grandmother didn’t speak English. She came over from the Dominican Republic thirty-six years ago, with my mother and her five other kids.…

    In Howard Rheingold’s 1993 journal, A slice of life in my virtual community, he writes about the varying degrees of communities and whether or not a virtual community is in fact a real one, “When a group of people remain in communication with one another for extended periods of time, the question of whether it is a community arises. Virtual communities might be real communities, they might be pseudo- communities, or they might be something entirely new in the realm of social contracts,” (178). With the age of the internet, the idea of a virtual community was born through online platforms, but the Internet was not always what it is today so virtually communities were somewhat unknown. Rheingold describes the idea of the third place, the place…

    We as humans tend to group together in order to better survive. The notion of community and society has always been imbedded into the way we live, whether it be the smaller communities we are part of or the larger nations we assimilate with. Just as we look for similarities our own groups, a nation and its people look for the same. Benedict Anderson’s theory of nationalism takes a step outside of the classic political frame and focuses more on the social aspects of how a nation becomes nationalized. It is no wonder that Anderson’s idea of the “Imagined [Community]” is applicable to a country the same size and far more densely populated than the United States.…
