Mobile Cultures
In “Mobile Cultures” Roy speaks
about how social media is a connection force that brings together the
connection of individuals and allow for individuals to become more aware of
current issues. Technocultures that allows for the spread of messages and
learning about the issues that affect people’s daily lives. This notion of
bringing in a community that allows for individuals to relate among each other
is very important because certain topics it may be awkward to bring up if it is
more private. An example of that would be the LGBTQ community in the south Asian
community because this is not what people perceive as normal to speak about
hence this topic is not talked or touched upon on. I think that this article
was very meaningful to read because it allowed me to reflect just how many
policies in the American society has been reinforced to allow for these
freedoms that are given to Americans. The idea of allowing the media to bring
in closer attention to our society is ideal because so many people rely on that
aspect to get around doing their own daily lives.
Kelly Loves Tony’s Film
In the film Kelly Loves Tony, there
are many themes portrayed. It is seen that women of her ethnicity is to be
expected to stay home and not have a degree and education but that is not true
nowadays because in the film she tries to go against the odds of being rejected
as a woman pursing education she still goes to college and wants to get her
degree. Also on the same lines there are blurred gender roles of how she should
be doing certain things female in their cultures do such as drinking the ginger
tea when the mom told her to after birth. Kelly resists against her culture and
what they portray as to be “right”.
