    Go to this website to learn how to cook Italian and Indian food! This site described how to make food from cannolis to chicken curry. Learn the history behind these amazing foods and have fun making them yourself!

    Your cooking show was very interesting and I especially liked the two recipes you picked. I liked watching and learning about the two folk foods and how they are made. Why did you pick those two? Any specific reason?
  • mdamschroder on 14 Nov 14
     
    The show was very nicely done and seemed very professional. The way that curry became popular in England is a great example of folk culture spreading through relocation diffusion.

    It looks so good! It's interesting how they tie into your PING PED project. I'm still bitter about not being able to try it...

    Great job with the cooking video! I also found the background of cannolis interesting. The fact that they are popular around Carnavale season in Italy, is a good example of how they connect with folk culture and traditions.

Forced Migration Online - 3 views

    What's one new idea you learned from this resource? How would the world be different if people weren't forced to migrate or people weren't restricted in their movement?  Post your comments, APHUG. Let's get a discussion going! 
  • jlandis3 on 23 Oct 14
     
    One new idea that I learned from this resource is that, regarding population, "One of every six people on earth is an adolescent" and also that "Children and adolescents constitute some 50% of all refugees assisted by UNHCR." This idea shows that forced migration greatly influences young people because young people are a major group who make up the group of refugees that get help from the UNHCR. The world would be different if people weren't forced to migrate or if people weren't restricted in their movement by containing less safe environments because terrorists could come into a country more easily. If people weren't forced to migrate, more land areas might be more sparsely populated.
  • jbasom on 23 Oct 14
     
    If people weren't forced to migrate, some cultures would thrive while others might not survive at all! In Europe today, there are many strict immigration laws that try to limit the amount of immigrants from many countries in Africa and Asia. One reason that these laws are so strict is to try to preserve the culture. So imagine what it would be like if there were no immigration restrictions at all! The culture in Europe would become mixed and intermingled with the cultures of countries all over the world. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it would just be different. Also, because of the idea of increasing globalization, the cost of migrating is decreasing (relatively), so the intervening obstacles are also decreasing. This makes it easier for more people to migrate if they are looking for economic opportunities. And when they do move, they will bring their culture with them. The land they leave behind, if enough people move, will then be deprived of the previous inhabitant's culture. So overall, many different cultures would be greatly affected if there was no restriction on immigration.

    Wow, there's some very politically-incorrect commentary if you scroll down the article... "Blacks have MUCH more to fear from other blacks than from white people. So,what are white people supposed to feel guilty about? Minorities get a better break from us than they do their own." - Bob Troxell "White privilege, just another reason to explain away failure to our children." - Books "Many blacks in this country don't [work hard and get their kids educated] and that is what keeps them in the ghettos." - Jello5 Obviously I disagree with all of these. I don't think there's very much prejudice at all in Mechanicsburg, but it's definitely present in many other parts of the U.S.

  • Our hospitals and care homes couldn’t function without overseas workers; building sites that we need to deliver more homes and big infrastructure projects, such as the roll-out of broadband, would also stall.
  • Of course, there are concerns around immigration. Here are the most common. One – most immigrants to the UK are from Eastern Europe. While this may have been the case a decade ago, recent figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest many are from countries such as France, Germany and Italy.
  • Two – EU migrants are unskilled. In fact, many are well-educated and plug shortages in sectors such as IT and engineering.

  • Five – migrants do not come here to work, but for our benefits system. Data from the Office for National Statistics show two thirds of EU citizens in the year to 2013 migrated for work, and a fifth for study

    This article is a perfect example of the migration that we have been discussing in and out of class. The author talks about the pros and cons of the current European migration patterns, and how if they are not adjusted, Europe could face serious issues in years to come. Will Europe do anything about it?

    I really enjoyed learning about the different regions you chose and the clothing they wear. I found similarities with the website I created because of the South American clothing, and how some clothing was influenced by immigrants. I also made a connection with what we learned in class being that a popular clothing item in developed regions is the UGG boot, which was inspired by folk clothing in arctic regions.

    Your website has a nice layout so it's easy to navigate. It's also fascinating that croquet started off as a popular sport and has moved to be more of a folk activity. On the other hand, soccer started as a folk activity and became a popular one.
