I think this picture best represents nationalism because it is in the shape of a heart but it is the colors of the British flag and it represents the love for the country and so that is the definition of nationalism.
Hip Hop is a subculture movement that formed during the 1970's when block parties became increasingly popular in New York city. The basic parts of hip hop were all present in Trinidadian music as long ago as the 1800's. Some famous people who are considered the founders of hip hop are Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and Nas. Some newer hip hop artists are Schoolboy Q, Lil Wayne, and Chief Keef.
I learned lots and lots of new things about Ellis and Angel island from these projects. Before this I had no idea how diverse Ellis island. I never knew about the harsh examination they gave people and how hard it was to be accepted into America. I also learned a lot about Angel Island. Before this I had barley any previous knowledge about Angel Island. I pretty much only knew that it existed. So learning about it was very interesting. I learned that the majority of people who went through Angel Island were mostly Asian. I also learned that it was off of California. It was very interesting to learn about this because it was a new topic to me. I do wish I could have learned about the life after Ellis and Angel Island also more stories about the people who came through these islands and if any of my family came here through Ellis or Angel Island.
Geography is a big part in my life. I have moved 5 times in my life. The good thing is that I have always stayed within about an hour of where I moved from so i have been lucky enough to be able to stay in touch with my old friends. This has affected me because I have been able to meet a lot of new people and make new friends but also at the same time I have been able to keep my older friends. I also feel like since I have moved a lot I have been able to see a lot of different types of people.
My family has never really been all that rich, we have always been around middle class. Right now the economy isn't in the best shape, this makes it harder for people to live in america. Also houses are costing more and more so it is pretty expensive to move. Another thing about our economy is that the gas prices are a lot higher than they used to be. Making it harder for people to get around to places that they need to go. This has shaped me because I had to learn how to conserve my money.
