The technology has changed Pakistan because they have actors and actresses who preform in a recording booth and they are shown on TV's.  Without the technology, people would not have recording stations and people would not be able to dance at home with their friends and family. At home, people dance the traditional Punjabi dance called Bhangra. They dance in a circle and people will play the drums and join in with singing. Without the recording studios, people wouldn't be able to listen to the music

In Pakistan they use rickshaws and motorcycles. They don't really have room for cars becasue their so big and bulky. There is not a lot of space in the streets of Pakistan, so the rickshaws and motorcycles are small and can hold a lot of people. In America we use cars because we have big wide roads to have the big bulky cars.

The question for popular culture was how have technology and international influences changed culture in Pakistan?

The information I have gathered about the popular culture in Pakistan is about what Pakistani people do for a living in Lahore.  For example, they normally use rickshaws or motorcycles as transportation instead of cars in the US.  This way of transportation, they can travel to work or school efficiently and effectively without any traffic getting in the way.  Additionally, the most popular sports they do is cricket.  Other sports they do are:  soccer, field hockey, polo, squash.  Furthermore, Pakistan has their own team with famous players and people of all ages play as a hobby or activity.  In addition, influences from all over the world impact a dance in Pakistan called, "Bhangra".  It is a popular and well-known dance and people from other countries are starting it as well.

This is what a day looks like on the streets of Pakistan, with a lot of people using motorcycles as a source of transportation.

In Pakistan they don't have any fast food restaurants because all the food the country consumes is produced by Pakistani people. In America all the fast food resturants are very unhealthy and have a lot of preservatives and chemicals. Almost everything in Pakistan is produced in a garden, even though they may not have a great source of transportation they still use a bull cart

Even though we may eat some of the same foods we also have a lot of differences. In America and Pakistan we eat meat. The only difference is the kinds of way we make the meat. In America we might make a chicken into chicken nuggets.  While in Pakistan they might use it to grill it or something that is important to their family/tradition. I saw that in the video they had a lot of vegetables and tomatoes, which is like my family because we eat a lot of vegetables.

The art and literature in Pakistan is very different than in America.  For example, they use similar patterns and colors throughout their buildings.  In addition, they use similar architectural features especially for the religious mosques.  The mosques share features such as a sahn, a courtyard where you can find fountains as well as outdoor benches.  Additionally, there is a mihrab, a part of a wall that indicates the Mecca where Muslims in Saudi Arabia face during prayer.  Some examples of colors they use are the primary colors: red, blue, and yellow.  They also use neutrals such as black and brown as well as using stripes as a pattern.

This is what the Badshahi Mosque looks like.

The historical influences on Pakistan were the architectural styles of the British as well as their own unique architectural styles. They construct buildings called, "mosques", which I have never acquired information about until this PenPal experience. In addition, I gained information about how the British left international influences on Pakistan and its architectural styles (i.e. the Quaid-e-Azam library)
and how the Victorian Era back in Britain effected Pakistan.  It was very distinct compared to buildings in Lahore, Pakistan.

This is what the Quaid-e-Azam library looks like.

In Pakistan they have recces everyday in which they can go outside and play badminton or ping pong. Badminton and ping pong are very popular sports in Pakistan. Here in America we used t have recces, now that we are in middle school we have enrichment that we go to instead of going out to play. Enrichment is when we read a book for 43 minuetes instead of going outside. After school they also may go out and grab a snack (samosa, jalebi and chai tea with cookies)

When people in Pakistan go to school they go to homeroom first to take attendance just like we do in America. After they go to homeroom they go to subjects like math, chemistry, and physics etc. That is a a little different from America because we don't start physics and chemistry till we get to 8th grade or high school.
