    I think your website is very original...to say the least. The videos, while they were funny, were also very informative. Overall, it looked really good!
  •  
    Very funny videos! Good information and organization of the website. Great work.
  •  
  •  
    Your videos were hilarious and informational! I thought it was very interesting that lacrosse had diffused all the way to Japan. Good job!
  •  
    Loved the video and a more in depth view on lacross' origins in North America. Great quality!
  •  
    You're videos were muy chistoso y comico! They were also informative! Your site was also informative and I learned a lot! Btw Alec is a boss at 'table tennis'

    Visit this site to find out more about the origins and history of cheesesteak and spaghetti and meatballs. See how much you really know about both of these dishes!

    Your website looks very professional, and is full of great information. Its was very interesting to learn the history and origin of the dishes that we see everyday in the United states.
  •  
    This website was a great place to learn about folk foods and taboos including monkey brains and intestines. I learned a lot about the history of cheese steak and spaghetti, and how they diffused into the popular foods they are today.
  •  
    This website uses a lot of information that I didn't know. Who knew spaghetti and meatballs were not Italian? It cool to see where common foods found in the US actually come from, despite the usual assumption. Great job guys!!
  •  
    Awesome website! Very neat and easy to navigate. I liked how you talked about the taboos and mentioned some things we learned in class.
  •  
    The pictures on your website were great. It's interesting how cheesesteak diffused rapidly in Philadelphia, and now is a popular food choice.
  •  
    Nice overall job on the project! I liked Ryan's food taboo being monkey brains, as the information on the food was surprising.
  •  
    This website is great. The history on the Philly Cheesesteak and spaghetti and meatballs is very interesting. It's quite awkward to some people that monkey brains are a common dish in some countries.
  •  
    It was interesting to learn the histories or such common food in the U.S. The overall presentation is great and I like the incorporation of your personal views!

Diffusion of Soccer- Alex and Dimitri - 7 views

  •  
    Visit this site if you want to learn about the most popular sport in the world, soccer. You'll learn about how soccer diffused across the globe, from the U.K., and how it influenced Rugby, a very unique sport. Soccer is a great tradition for many countries, and it brings countries together every 4 years for a world cup. But, how did this begin?

    You guys did a great job! The images were really good and there was great information! One connection that I noticed on your website that was learned in our class activities, when we take notes from the book, was the reference to "Kicking the Dane's head," regarding early soccer.
  •  
    I really like the layout and pictures of the website. I also enjoyed getting to learn more about the sport of soccer which I love and play.
  •  
    Wow! Fantastic job! I really enjoyed this site and I even learned some things about I didn't even know. And I play. I liked connection to the Dane's head; I remember learning about that in class.
  •  
    I did not know much about the origins of soccer or rugby before your website. I thought you connected to two very well and showed how they originated and diffused out excellently. Also, I think the origins of both sports are interesting and funny.
  •  
    This website does a good job at going in detail about soccer. I never knew that soccer was that old and how it can actually be traced back to it's original origin.
  •  
    It may be the most popular sport on Earth, but not very much is widely known on it's origins. Thanks for further insight!

Diffusion of Social Media - Frank Ruszkowski - 9 views

    Go to this website to see how, when, and where social media has diffused through the years and where it is prevented from spreading. This is mainly about Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    The site is aesthetically pleasing with a sufficient amount of information without deterring an individual. The diffusion of social media reminds me of the notes we took on the diffusion patterns of television and the internet.
  •  
    I like the organization of your website. I never knew Facebook was so dominant throughout the world! The information is very useful about where some types of social media are banned. The spread of social media is similar to what we learned in class.
  •  
    Your website was organized very nicely and I learned info I had never known before about how Facebook and social media affects parts of the world.
  •  
    This website was great to learn about how social media has spread across the world. I learned a lot about how the government in some countries blocks the use of social media.
  •  
    This website was great since I got to learn about the diffusion of social media, which plays a big part in our lives. It was nicely organized, and provided a lot of interesting information.
  •  
    It was interesting to see which countries ban types of social media and how that reflects their type of government. I was surprised to see North Korea does not ban Youtube but India does.
  •  
    Nice job on showing the diffusion of social media, using three strong examples.
  •  
    Great job on the website. It was something different as most people did cooking, music, or sports. I remember in the book that it said that YouTube hadn't diffused much in 2011. It's amazing what a difference three years can make.

    You guys did a good job explaining the two sports and their diffusion, and I like how you put games at the end. Good job!
  •  
    I really like what you guys had to say about both sports. You had a lot of information and facts about field hockey and soccer. I didn't know much about the origins before reading this, but now I know how the sports started as folk culture and turned into popular culture. Nice touch with the games at the end!
  •  
    Wow! There was a lot to learn about both of these sports that I never knew before! Great information and good organization for sharing it. Good work!

    Do you enjoy tasty food created in Spain? Is learning about folk food one of your hobbies? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, "Cooking with Style" is for you. On this website you can learn the history and recipe for the delicious empanada.

  •  
    That wonderful video was definitely wonderful and you've inspired me to make empanadas now in my own home now. And by empanadas I mean samosas.
  •  
    I loved how the website was very easy to navigate, plus the food looks really good, i might have to make it myself.
  •  
    The food looked really good, I may have to make it myself this weekend! Your video was very good and your website was very easy to navigate. Wonderful Job!!
  •  
    I really enjoyed watching your video! I like how it was entertaining but also informative. I also enjoyed learning about how Empanadas diffused to several spanish areas. It is great that you have the recipe so that others can make empanadas on their own. Over all, great job! Your website was interesting as well as informative.
  •  
    Awesome job with the video, very informative and entertaining. Overall good content and interesting view on the food taboos. Great quote at 1:34 "Like my mom always told me, if you cut your finger off, it's gonna bleed"
  •  
    I enjoyed watching your video which was well done and looked delicious! I also found the liver and onion dish as a taboo to be interesting because of how it is accepted in some regions and not others. It seems it is more widely accepted in areas that are influenced by folk culture rather than popular culture, which is funny because many things are eaten in a popular cultural society that are worse for you and contain more chemicals than the natural liver of a cow.

Television Shows Around The World- Kyra Lexi Eena - 12 views

  •  
    Pleas take a moment to ask yourself the following questions: Have you ever wondered what TV shows there are in other countries? Have you ever wondered if these shows are similar to ours? Did they copy us or did we copy them? If you have already pondered this topic or answered "yes" to any of the above questions then you will absolutely LOVE this site! It examines the similarities and differences between US shows and Asian shows! Watch popular Asian TV shows right now, they're only a click away!

    Great information and use of videos and graphics. I learned a lot about Japanese shows that I haven't before. Thanks for the information and great work guys!
  •  
    I like your site! It is very organized and easy to maneuver. The site explains the diffusion of the different shows well. It relates to our class and how the TV is the ambassador of popular culture.
  •  
    Your website looks great! It was very informative and easy to find everything. Honk Kong having a show like the U.S. relates to what we learned about China and how they made their own social media sites like our Facebook and Twitter.
  •  
    The website was very nice, it was easy to maneuver and it was easy to know where everything was. I didn't know that China and USA had almost identical shows. This was very interesting and fun to see
  •  
    The websites is super informative! It was very interesting to see how ideas for TV shows have diffused, mainly between America and Asia, and it related greatly to our class lessons. Great work!
  •  
    The website was very nice and informative. I never knew that China has similar shows to us! That relates to what we learned in the Ted Talk about China cloning social media like Twitter and YouTube.
  •  
    The website had a nice layout and the pictures and videos added much to it. I did not know our TV shows influenced countries like Japan to copy them. Great job talking about the rapid diffusion of new electronic technology like Netflix and connecting it to class!

    I really like how you made your site look professional but simple. I also like that there's not too much information to make me not want to read it. Great job!!
  •  
    This website was a great place to learn about folk food around the world. These two dishes from Spain, empanadas, and India, sambar, were fun to learn about and look great too!
  •  
    This website provided great information about two very unique dishes, which I learned about folk food from Spain and India. Nice job!
  •  
    I liked this website because it displayed two dishes that I have never heard about. This makes me want to find more about and try other Spanish and Indian foods.
  •  
    Wow, I really enjoyed the information on this website. We did empanadas, too. Far out.
  •  
    Great easy to navigate website design. Also the recipe's were very specific and really gave instructions to make these foods at home.
  •  
    I learned a lot from your informational website about empanadas. It is a very nice layout and overall entertaining. Great job!

Lithuanian and Tanzanian Food - 10 views

  •  
    Have you ever wanted to watch two very amateur chefs almost kill themselves when they attempt to make foreign food? Guaranteed to make you laugh at their stupidity, LiAnn and Kara demonstrate their awful and slightly-less-awful cooking skills through the completion of this beautiful meal. Featuring: Some weird Lithuanian pork stuff that was actually pretty good; Greasy Chips a.k.a. Tanzanian French Fries; Chai tea with way too much cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; and, an Orange and Mango drink in the fancy "I'm a Grownup, I Swear!" wine glasses.

    I think you guys did a good job on this video! The dishes looked great! Maybe a little too informal, but super funny! Overall, good job!
  •  
    I really like the depth you went into to show the history of your foods! There was a lot of great information. Great job!
  •  
    I loved your video! It was very entertaining. I really want to try to make the chai tea now. Awesome job!
  •  
    I like how you gave a lot of in depth detail about the foods and the countries that they came from. I learned a lot about different foods and how to make them!
  •  
    I really liked your video! You guys are so funny and it was a cute little video. I liked how Kara mentioned that the Tanzanian French fries were a lot like regular fries. That comparison shows probably how French fries have diffused into other countries. Great job!!
  •  
    This is so great! The video is very entertaining as well as informative. You did a great job of putting your personalities into it. Both Tanzanian and Lithuanian cuisine are great examples of how a place's environment can greatly affect its food.
  •  
    I loved the video you made! It was... the most unique one I've seen thus far. It was informative, and your commentary was quite comical (my personal favorite being the bay leaf). The diffusion of "greasy chips" was well displayed, and how they have become popular throughout many countries, including Tanzania.
  •  
    I thought it was very informative as well as funny. I liked that the greasy chips were basically french fries with another name. It shows how foods can have more than one origin.

    Mmm… That all looks delicious. Very informative and inspiring. I think I'll try making the Frosty Pineapple-Nog.
  •  
    I laughed way too hard at parts of this... I learned a lot about the different cultures of food!
  •  
    That stuff looks awesome, I know what I'm doing this weekend.
  •  
    The food looks amazing. I was blown away by the recipes! I also learned about various culture's food.
  •  
    The videos were very well done and funny! It makes sense that Haitians would have pineapples in a christmas drink due to its tropical climate.
  •  
    The videos were really funny! The easy layout of the website made it effortless to navigate and find everything. Overall great job done!
  •  
    This website is very well done! I love your videos and how they are very funny but also informative. The information in the website can relate to what we learned in class. For example, Peyton's dish spread by relocation diffusion which is a characteristic of folk culture. Over all, I really enjoyed you website! Great job guys!
  •  
    This website is great! The videos are hilarious yet still factual. I enjoyed learning about all of the different foods around the world and applying what we learned in class, such as the different types of the diffusion, to the recipes in the videos. Awesome job!

    I was really interested in learning about your view on this topic, but I couldn't view any of the links because of the permission settings. The pictures were great, and I loved how you organized your website!
  •  
    I like how you made a map showing where the shepherds pie came from! It is so interesting to see where different foods that we enjoy in our own culture came from. You also did a good job of laying out your information.
  •  
    I like how you showed the diffusion of shepherds pie and which country it had originated in. Your site was very informative, and well done.
  •  
    I liked the way you showed the origin of shepherds pie. Its interesting to know where a food many people eat today came from.
