one week left! Presentation next week!
Okay so we all only have one week left and three things left to do; Finance investment proposal, manageing cultures reflective journal and Dissertation proposal presentation! So I am a littel concerened as I have completed a single one of them yet and my disseration proposal is weighing on my mind as we didnt have resaecrh methods last week and I wanted to discuss some things then with James. I havent really done much research what with everything else that has beein going on so I am a little concerned about that section of the presentation. I have read a journal which (my italics function has stoppped working so apologies for the rest of this blog being slanted!!! argh everyting is going to the crapper!) I used for my journal review at the bginnig of term. I still want to look at cultural events and I have been thinking about comparing the ways which england uses cultural events to celebrate different ethic groups but doesnt seem to really celebrate its won, compared to Wales which seems to have a more obvious culture and has specific events to celebrate this. Also look at the lack of funding for cultural events and the criteria local government have to fulfill when putting on an event. anyway I am now to continue my managing cultures essay! bye for now.

I think your topic is really interesting and something that should be looked at. I mean, the "English Culture" is disappearing rapidly (in London and the southeast particularly) and I rarely ever see cultural events built around that. Although some would argue that it's not really "disappearing" so much as "evolving"...but you could look at that as well. As for the assignments, I only hope that we don't lose our sanity by weeks end! Bring on the hOLIDAYS!!!!!!
I think this is intersting as well, I always struggle in classes to give examples of 'english culture' (Morris dancing? Binge-drinking? Yorkshire Puddings?) - maybe have a look at the idea of the 'carnivalesque' as a way of thinking about why 'minority' cultures may be expressed more frequently through festivals and special events within a 'dominant' culture.
