MLO 4 Japan is shaped by earthquakes, volcanoes, and man-made ecologies. We study the Japanese archipelago in different materials from scientific journals, films, history, anthropology, and Japanese comics. We learn Japanese geology, Pacific seismology Ring of Fire, and the causes and effects of nuclear radiation Another of the classes that helped me was unnatural Japan. Even though this class is not very well connected to Spanish, I had to take the class and it was very interesting for me. I learned many things from Japan’s history. This class also taught me what to do when there's an emergency of evacuation or if there's an earthquake, or any other disaster. This class has been very interesting to take. I have learned about WW2 in Japan, the atomic bombing disasters that have occurred in Japan and other things. This class has helped me to understand a little more about other cultures other than the Hispanic culture that I'm usually familiar with. I learned that learning about other cultures also helped me learn there's more I can teach as a Spanish major student. I can have a better understanding about appreciating different cultures. Japan has a very interesting culture, something that i liked to learn about Japan was about their disasters for example the earthquake in 2011 where it was a very bad earthquake i remember watching this on the news, Also the way they were dressed back in the 1850’s with these popped colors, they would have their makeup would be white in their faces. Their beauty was required to have pouty mouths, narrow eyes, a thin nose, round apple cheeks, and they used heavy rice powder to paint their faces and neck white. For me learning this is wondering what made them think this was any kind of beauty. Learning about this culture was very interesting. These classes helped me in my major because it's something different from my major that I'm not used to taking. However, it is important to know that these classes can help me in the future when I have become a teacher, there's other ways I can teach my Spanish class with different topics like Japan.
