Cultural Evaluations

Facebook
Everybody knows what Facebook is. Many people are signed into it for 24 hours everyday. Facebook is the end of the world as we know it. Facebook has put an end to the process of forming a relationship with someone. Romance has turned into a winky face emoticon. You know longer get to know people better by merely spending time with them you can just look up their page and just like that you know all their interests and friends. Facebook is the end of relationships as we know it.

Jersey Shore
Jersey Shore has proven to be a huge hit for the MTV network. Since the first episode it has been an instant success. Although, this hit show may disgrace a few Italians. My mother's side of the family is Italian, and the lives of the characters from Jersey Shore are far from Italian values. These people call themselves Guidos and Guidettes after an Italian mobster, but in reality many of them are not even Italian. They act as though they represent the Italian-American population but only half of them are actually partly Italian. Plus, their presentation would be a disgrace to many people of Italian heritage. My great-grandmother came from Italy,and if she saw the way these people represented Italy she would probably start crying. Being Italian is not about getting drunk or having sex with a different person every night. Being Italian is all about respect for one another and for family.

Smart Phones
In the palm of your hand you can have almost anything you desire. That  is essentially what the smart phones of today entail. You need to find your way somewhere you can simply use the GPS on your phone. You need to look up restaurants in the area, guess what? There is an app for that. Smart Phones have improved the quality  of life for many people all over the world. I can play a game or check my email, and I don't even have to move. My iPhone is practically attached to my hip and it allows me to do practically anything I want.
