a. Answer the following questions:
1. What is the origin of the most recent song that you listened to? (Identify the
nationality of the creator of the music as well as the tradition to which it belong.)

It is coming from a Filipino rock band in the Philippines called After Image. The creator

of technology allows us to listen to music. The technology we commonly used in the 21st
century for listening music are mobile phones.

based?

It is made from India, but the company based is on China.

4. How have you obtained music-online purchase or physically bought from retail
outlets?

We get music by downloading it from YouTube. Many platforms are available in


the market to offer service such as selling music of different origins. Some offer free
services in exchange of this music.

b. Generalize about any patterns in the data to collect.

1. Do certain countries predominate in terms of music choice and/or owning or


making technology?

Yes, certain countries can predominate other countries in terms of music, the best
example for it is in UK Aside form UK, and American and German music dominate the
music choice, because of its catchy genres and beat (US News, 2018). On the other hand,
in terms of making and owning technology, Japan, USA, South Korea, and China
predominate on this criterion (US News, 2018).

2. Which type of technology or commonly used? Is online or physical shopping


more popular?

The type of technology that commonly used is information technology (Television,


Radio, Computer). According to "Time Trade”, physical shopping is more popular than
online shopping. It was said that 85% of the consumers prefer to shop at physical stores.
Physical shopping is more reliable than online shopping as you can personally check the
quality of the item. Online shopping can sometimes be deceiving.
Create a visual representation of your generalizations. (e.g. using graphs or
mapping tool).

Think of current event featuring in headlines around the world (Hint: politics,
music, sport, film, celebrity, culture or disaster).

According to INDEPENDENT (2019), Typhoon Hagibis, one of the strongest storm


that hit and left a mark on Japan. It has a wind speed of 225km/h (140 mph) bringing a
lashing rain and violent winds. The destruction of the typhoon was laid bare in Koriyama.
Five lives where taken away and the flooding have been extensive. In the east side of the
city, the whole neighborhood were left submerged. It is said to be the worst typhoon that
hit Japan in the past decades, left the country with at least 40 dead and 60 missing.
Typhoon Hagibis also caused the cancellation of the three rugby world cup matches but
the key match between Scotland and Japan went away. After the typhoon thousands of
police officers, firefighters, coastguards and military are working to reach those trapped
by landslides and floods. Although typhoon Hagibis was unprecedented in scale and
ferocity weather officials said 40 percent of their annual rainfall is brought by the typhoon
in just two days. Many are fearful that this is under the cause of global warming and
climate change and expecting similar sized storm will return in the future.
Write about the event using some of the following prompts: national identity,
language, nation, place of manufacture, origin of natural resources, cultural
traditions, use of technology, history, etc).

The national language is Japanese, which is the primary spoken language across
the country. Old Japanese, or “Kanbun”, originated from China and the earliest Japanese
text, the “Kojiki,” was written in the early 8th century and was written primarily in ancient
Chinese characters. Modern Japanese developed during the Edo period, between 1603
and 1868.
Modern Japanese consists of three alphabets:
Kanji (logographic Chinese characters)
Hiragana (a phonetic Japanese alphabet)
Katakana (a phonetic alphabet used for foreign words)

The development and widespread use of Katakana is illustrative of Japan’s recent


adoption of Western cultures, ideas and words. Japan has a large and highly advanced
manufacturing sector. Manufactured goods from Japan enjoy a well-earned reputation for
high quality, durability and sophistication. Japanese automotive manufacturers such as
Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi are among the largest in the world. It is little surprise then
that Japan is the third largest manufacturer of vehicles, producing 9,278,321 in 2015.
Shipbuilding, robotics and electronics are other notable manufacturing industries in
Japan.
