Today, I will be telling you about the sub culture Teeny Bopper! What is a sub culture? A sub culture is a a culture or group withing another culture. The sub culture I choose was Teeny Bopper, and a Teeny Bopper is a young teenage girls that follow trends in music, fashion, and culture. I choose Teeny Bopper to do research on, because I thought I could relate to it. Also, it's a term I have heard before, and I am familiar with it. An a historical example could be teen girls in the 1950's who listened to Elvis and wore Poodle skirts. Teeny Boppers where introduced around the 1950's. A modern day example, is girls today wear clothes from Pink, and listen to popular music like: Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift. Some famous people who we consider Teeny Boppers are, Maddie Ziegler from the reality show Dance Moms.
When we learned about immigration in class there was a lot of things that surprised me but what stood out was how healthy you had to be to be accepted. To be able to immigrate you had to pass a bunch of different health test and the slightest thing wrong would mean you were not able to go. My classed learned about Ellis and Angel island immigrants and what it took to go and their conditions. Something more I wanted to learn about was how others around the immigrants treated them like people helping the immigrants and testing them etc.. I found out about how hard it was to be and immigrant and why they decided to immigrate.
Also if you would like to discover more about immigration with Angel Island heres a link to Li Keng Wong’s story. http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/asian-american/angel_island/chapter1.htm |
