1. "Trendpak." : Trend of Culture Pakistan. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013. <http://trendpak.blogspot.com/2011/04/trend-of-culture-pakistan.html>.
This source provides information about the culture of Pakistan. The information based on cultures and traditions is divided into the sections of all four provinces which then include the total mass, population, languages and dresses of each province. Although I already knew a lot of information provided in this resource but it still helped me in refreshing of all that information in my mind. It is very effective resource because it includes the portraits and paintings of culture which is really helpful for me because of same idea of painting for this project. In short, it provided me enough information and helped in organizing the ideas.
2. Kwait, Derek M. Differences between Pakistan & the U.S. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.ehow.com/info_8529305_differences-between-pakistan-usa.html>.
One limitation of this source was that it just discussed about religion, government, culture, education and women. There are many other components out there which can be added to enhance the complexity and information of the source and give the reader more information besides above components. Overall I would say, this source was a good one to share and compare the two countries, who are religiously and culturally different. Still I am able to gather the things which are required for my project.
3. Pavri, Tinaz. "Countries and Their Cultures." Pakistani Americans. Jrank, n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2013
<http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Le-Pa/Pakistani-Americans.html>.
I selected this source because its beyond the discussion of Pakistani culture. It not only talks about the simple term"Culture" but divides the components which make the culture together such as cuisine, traditional dresses, languages, dances and songs, holidays and celebrations, families and community dynamics, weddings and funerals, religion and etc. Besides this, it also talks a little about the history and immigration wave before partition. This source can help a lot in collecting a lot of ideas to start off with the project.
4. "Culture of Unites States." Martinfrost.ws. Martinfrost, n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.martinfrost.ws/htmlfiles/american_culture.html>.
Similar to the upper one (based on the components that add up to make a culture), this source discusses is very beneficial to gather ideas. But the only difference is that this one is about the Culture of the United States. It also have important and well organized ideas which make up culture of U.S. Names, food, popular culture, technology, sports, clothing, education, language, religion, jobs, housing, relationships, gender roles etc, are discussed very thoroughly in this source which is the proof of reliability of this source.
5. "US Culture." Kwintessential.co.uk. Kwintessential, n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/usa.html>.
I really liked this source because it not just keep talking about the above components of culture including language but also goes beyond to them and discusses about the etiquettes of business, dining, greetings, giving gifts, communication, which is very interesting to learn about. Other than this it also includes the facts and statistics about location, capital, population, climate and diversity. This source is different than others because of the reason that I discussed above. It also helped me in getting to know about the etiquettes of different classes in U.S.
6. "Over 55 Yearsâ Experience of English Language Teaching." St Giles International. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.stgiles-international.com/forms/General_cultural_information_usa.pd>.
This document gives information about American customs, and discusses those points which are obviously different than other cultures and traditions. It gives a very detailed information about the manners of people at different places such as on road, public transportations, crosswalks, social behaviour, “Excuse me” and contact. The reason why I chose this is because it is different than other documents and gives information which is very detailed and also discussed in an organized manner.
7. "Culture and Ethnic Groups | USA.gov." Culture and Ethnic Groups | USA.gov. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/History-Culture.shtml>.
This source gives information about not only American culture including folklife, holiday, social and cultural history, facts about American flag, but also about African American history and culture, Asian American history and culture, Hispanic and Latino history and culture and native Americans history and culture. This source doesn’t help a lot but still it can be said that this source can be used for this project to learn different histories and cultures of United States.
8. "Pakistan Culture." Kwintessential.co.uk. Kwintessential, n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/pakistan.html>.
Similar to one of the above resources, this one also discusses about the facts and statistics of Pakistani language, culture and religion. It also gives knowledge about the etiquettes of different classes just like in America. The whole resource is classified into sub-sections which then give information about location, populations, ethnic makeup, religions, society and culture (Islam, family and hierarchical society), etiquettes and customs. It also gives knowledge about the etiquettes of dining, business and gift giving etc, which is really helpful and also marks this source as a reliable source.

<.http://www.buzzle.com/articles/the-culture-of-pakistan.html>.
This source tells about the culture, architecture, art , literature and social culture. Tells that pakistani culture is not limited to urdu but a lot of work written in language. Specially government paper matters and laws are written in english. About social culture that mostly Pakistanis are conservative in nature, In short it gives a lot information for their beleifs and thoughts.
10. "Pakistan Culture." , Pakistan State Culture, Pakistani Culture, Tourism. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2013.
<http://pakistan.saarctourism.org/pakistan-culture.html>.
This tourism website gives information about Pakistan; its culture and places. The reason why I chose this because it provides information about history and mainly culture to attract tours to make a visit of the country. I just wanted to use this source because of the reliability of this website which is very significant in order to judge a source.

<http://www.pakistanculture.org/index1.php
I selected this source because of many reasons. This is a website of Pakistani culture which just provides information and knowledge of each and everything and every culture’s information. This one source is enough for getting all knowledge of Pakistani culture such as Pakistani people and land, historical perspectives, cultural heritage and archaeological heritage.
12. "American Culture through Painting." Library.csi.cuny.edu. Library.csi, n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.library.csi.cuny.edu/dept/history/lavender/335/02ATArtworks.pdf>.
One limitation of this source is that it just gives description and understanding of American culture through painting and sculptures. Besides this, there are many things which could be added to increase its reliability. Although it provides some portraits and paintings of American culture but those are not enough for understanding for my project but still it gives me a little idea of what my painting should look like and how should I reflect culture in drawings.
13. "Prof. A. R. NAGORI." Prof. A. R. Nagori. N.p., 30 Jan. 2013. Web. 30 Jan. 2013.
<http://www.arnagori.com/works/category/2-return-to-sphinx.html>.
This one is an official website of a Pakistani artist A.R Nagori which includes his paintings about every topic. I chose this one because it does have paintings about different cultures of Pakistan which is really helpful because those paintings give me ideas of how a typical cultural painting should look like. Examples of paintings include landscapes of Thar, village and Karachi city.
14. "Architecture of USA." Wikipedia.org. Wiki, n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2013.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_the_United_States>.
Wikipedia gives a lot of useful information about any topic or issue or whatever. This is a wikipedia source which is about the architecture of United States. I would be including architecture of both countries. Therefore I chose this source because it provides me information about the architecture of U.S. I already have enough information of Pakistani architecture which is why I didn’t include any source for Pakistani architecture. In short, it has enough detailed information about U.S architecture and its developments since its history.
15. Evans, Marrion Boddy. "Learn to Paint: Your First Ever Painting." About.com Painting. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Jan. 2013.
<http://painting.about.com/od/paintingforbeginners/a/first_painting.htm>.
I looked up for such sources and selected this one because it gives me enough information about how to paint. It also points out some strategies to begin with the painting including materials, decisions, steps, finding ideas, safely usage of colors etc and etc. This is so helpful because it provides information for beginners and I needed this information because I am going to do painting for the first time.
The idea of making a campaign was very difficult for me as I did not do work on such a project before. So it was very hard for me to come up with an idea. But my group members helped me in this situation. We put so many thoughts in front of each other in order to make this campaign more real.
We tried to come with ideas to present in front of target audience. We also thought that what should be our target audience. Obviously it was very hard to choose the audience and then convey them a message. After so many thoughts my group member and I decided to choose younger children. Because I think this is the best age to learn. So after deciding our target audience we then started thinking about how to present in front of children. I was very confuse during this process because it was very hard for me to brain storm for a strong idea. But at last we decided to make posters. For me it was actually easy to make a poster. Aja and Quinn also decided to make posters and then asked from me. As I was also thinking of this so also planed that we should make posters.
As our target audience was younger children so we decided to make colorful posters because kids are attracted by colors. So me, Aja and Quinn started making posters.
Me and Quinn made a poster. She drew a cartoon and I wrote “How well can you read?” in bubble writing and then we colored that . My group members were vey happy to see that because that idea was very strong to attract children by cartoons and different types of colors. Similarly Aja made a poster with colorful same word that we wrote but she drew a book on both end sides of the poster. At one side of the book she wrote word literacy and on the other side side of the poster she wrote the same word but in opposite way. Which was actually a good idea. That everyone when look at the poster, will think a moment about that what actually it is.
Then after making poster we now started to brain storm about the ideas for making video . And it was actually very hard not only for me but also for other members too.
Because making a poster and then filling that with colors was not actually as video was. I think our poster idea was very effective because of the cartoon characters and color collection.
Now the main thing that how to present this in front of audience . Which is really hard for me . It is also very difficult for my group mates to put the main idea of campaign that everybody understand what actually we are trying to figure out . We also want to meet the expectations of the project and Miss Pahomov as well. So we still trying to make this project more strong. Because we want to present our project with the strong core message.
Importance of John
F Kennedy fight for Civil Rights in early 1960’s America
Process paper
This
project focuses on civil rights reform, the reaction of different people in the
1960’s and the revolution that occurred to give more opportunities to African
American or non- white Americans.
There are many events under president Kennedy that were important for
civil rights.
One
example is "The Birmingham Desegregation Campaign." During the summer
of 1963, Blacks protested to get
the attention of the President and the Congress to give them equal civil
rights.
The
second example is many events in the nation that tried to prevent the 1964
Civil Rights Act from being passed in Congress. Kennedy had to fight to get
supporters to back his act. This impacted African Americans then, and there are
many effect that have lasted until today.
I
picked John F Kennedy because he is an important person when looking at
reaction and reform.
After
world war 11 African Americans spoke up more when they were not treated well or
equally. They began to protest more and demand protection of civil rights.
To
find sources for this project I looked for articles about people’s reaction,
JFK and civil rights events.
When
I started this project , I wanted to look for a topic that really includes the
reaction, reform and revolution. I think by looking this topic I can learn all
important things.

Birmingham Desegregation Campaign." Amistad Digital Resource. Web. 09 Jan.

In this
article the protest that happened all across the country during the summer of
1963 is detailed. It explaine how
Blacks protested to get the
attention of the president and the congress to give them equal and civil
rights. There is a link to a video
that shows how the protest became violent but were not going to stop unless the
president acted. This is a good summary of the violence, the planning, and the
courage of those who were fighting in the south for Black Americans to get rights.

The article is about how
events in the nation at the time tried to prevent the Civil Rights act from

act. Next It follows up with
how the congress how the argued
against passing the bill in when they met. Finally, it continues to show how this impacted
African American who were tried to be persuaded not to support the Act. The article should have had more
details about the struggle between the supporters and those who were against
the act.This article was too short but it gave a clear summary of the fight to
get civil rights legislation passed.
History
News Network. Web. 09 Jan. 2012. <http://hnn.us/articles/39024.html>.
This
article tried to get into President Kennedy’s head and his thought
process. His thoughts about race,ethics ad being determined to help
African Americans is examined. It
was a question of doing the right thing from 1961-1963. The article analysis conversations
Kennedy had with with brother about event taking place in the south to

“John
Kennedy and Civil Rights." History Learning Site. Web. 09 Jan. 2012.
<http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/john_kennedy_and_civil_rights.htm>.
This article
summarized important events during his presidency however it ask an important
question: did Kennedy support
civil rights. The article answers
the question by saying Yes Kennedy
did according to the writer. It talks about his promises in speeches before his election, and
during his time in office.
It outlines how the speeches did support civil rights for African
Americans but that Kennedy did not live long enough to talk about his support
and see his promise come true. This is a good summary of the JFK time line and
events that lead him to think about Civil rights during his last term in office.
