Trieu talks about the Vietnamese people who practice many
Chinese traditions, wear Chinese clothes, and even watch Chinese dramas; this
was under the category about “no human right, no freedom of speech.”
Personally, I found that statement kind of offensive, I am half Chinese and
half Vietnamese, so when I think about my family and the ones who are
Vietnamese and decide to watch these Chinese dramas, no one is holding a gun to
their head and saying “YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS” to me, its kind of a personal choice.
Trieu could have had more back of information on why these Vietnamese people
felt like they did not have a freedom of speech, because I am still unclear of
why they feel this way.
Linda was very informative about her topic: Vietnamese
variety shows. When she talked about Paris By Night, I giggled because my
grandparents and mom watches it. In a sense, these shows do kind of teach
younger generations about the Vietnamese culture. I know my grandma tries to always make my
cousins and i sit down and watch Paris By Night with her and tell us that we
need to learn about our culture. Though I cannot understand what they are
saying, some of the skits are pretty comical to me.
Justin’s part was my favorite! He was so enthusiastic about
his topic and was very informative. I felt like I don’t even need to watch the
movie, and I can write a whole paper about it. Because Justin has a lot of
information and it is all over the place, his final paper might not be
relevant, it would be best if he narrows it down to some concepts only.
And lastly, for Melissa’s PowerPoint, I felt like I learned
quite a few things but because the powerpoint was so informative, I wish she
had presented and explained them thoroughly.
