Asia Current Events
Recently South Korea has tried to defuse its current conflicts with North Korea. They has recently been some tension between the two countries. They has been quite a few disputes. South Korea tried to stop it through dialogue and is working the mend the problem and end the tension between te two.They are trying to calm foreign investors to help stop the problems.
This is similar to what we have been learning because in all the countries there has been tension between rival groups. Throughout the unit some of the rivaling beliefs happened throughout the dynasties and it caused them to have fuss over what is right. I believe this is similar in a way because it is showing that people who have different ideas tend to have tension between them. Which is one reason why it took Mao a while to spread his philosophy.

Crossing Pop Culture Universe
K- Pop Example: http://youtu.be/U7mPqycQ0tQ
American Example: http://youtu.be/1-pUaogoX5o
For my example from Asia I used a Korean pop band by the name of Girls Generation which consists of 9 members. They sing a lot of upbeat and fun pop songs about all sorts of things. For my American example I chose Katy Perry because even though she is a one person group I feel they connect because they are both pop artists that sing upbeat and happy songs that sing about experiences.

Web Archeology - Primary Source - Kimono
My Primary source is a Japanese Kimono which is a type of Japenese Dress:
The word Kimono itself actually means clothing which would explain why it is so popular. Up until the 18th century every in Japan would wear Kimonos. There are many different types of kimonos whether it be depending on the seasons or depending on the gender and the person. In the past the kimono was traditionally passed down from the mother to the daughter however throughout the years it has changed as well as the style of the kimono itself. ( As shown below)
Though for the most part the kimono is made of silk it is also sometimes made out of wool or other synthetic fabrics. Depending on the type of person and their class would decide what type of kimono they wore.
