  Bling Empire, a reality television, it records the daily life of a group of wealthy Asian Americans. When I watched it, I really watched it as a leisure and entertainment video, but there is nothing worthy of serious study. However, I have to say that this documentary is still worth discussing.   First of all, I want to talk about their lives. After watching the video, we know that they can go to Paris by plane for just a meal. They can call the Dior counter to choose clothes at home. They can also experience being a flight attendant because they like to experience it. All of these, someone will definitely say that they are very extravagant. However, my first thought was, isn't this what they can do? They were born in such a wealthy family without the troubles of life. Isn't it normal to do such things? This society is like this, there is no absolute fairness, just enjoy yourself.   Secondly, let's talk about their character. In fact, I think some of them still very rea...

  After watching this documentary, there are two main feelings. One is how to view others, and the other is how to view ourselves.   How to treat others depends mainly on whether you can overcome discrimination. In our lives, discrimination is no longer limited to race. Gender, age, color, and nationality. Some things cannot be changed, but people become victims or perpetrators for no reason.   How to identify with ourselves. How to deal with with ourselves in an incompatible environment, and how to deal with ourselves in a familiar environment. This is like the problems faced by the Issei and Nisei. the experience of Asian immigrants also gives the answer: struggle. Whether it is a struggle to enhance personal abilities or a struggle for fairness and justice. To make progress, we must struggle. Achievements obtained through hard work are the foundation of one's life and self-confidence in self-identity.   This documentary also makes people reflect. As a Chinese and ...

As an Asian, I really like Asian entertainment culture. This is the reason why I want to study film and music, and then return to China to work in the entertainment industry. The K-pop we watched this week is indeed very popular all over the world. This was discovered after I came to the United States. This shows that Asian Americans have made great contributions in this regard. I am vert happy to see the output of Asian culture. K.YOON said in the article that K-pop is mixed culture. I totally agree with this. When I discussed this issue with my friends before, I also said that combinations like BTS and Blackpink are popular internationally, although they are also popular in Korea. The reason is that their music contains very international things, like BTS's Boy With Luv  we watched this week. They invited a "foreigner" to sing their English part. In addition, I am very interested in their English lyrics. Because I am not a native English speaker, I am very curious what ...

    Humor itself is an art form to entertain the public. Usually, using humor to express deeper inner thoughts is not very effective. I mean, when I watch comedies, I have only one purpose, which is to be happy. I don’t want to think about what a performer means while I’m watching a comedy. For me, at that moment, I just need to be funny. It's hard to adjust other’s taste, so I won't discuss those individual examples. Let's talk about the public opinion.    On the basis of comedy, PEN15 adds many social phenomena that are now attracting attention, such as school violence. And when a period that teenagers' emotions are emerging, how can they do? But I still don't like this kind of language and physical insults. Sometimes, verbal violence can cause more harm than physical violence. (It may be that I don’t know much about American humor culture. If you can, you can tell me what you think about it.) "There are Asian men who batter Asian women and Asian parents who ...
