Movie
I guess every high school have similar situation as like movie. In my high school still that situation, there have many kind of people be together as group. For more popular should be Basketball team, cheerleaders, sport player or everyrich people with good appearance. And many people envy them or wants join them as firend. That's kind of manner in most hight school.
That mean there have a lot group or the people form different countries. But there still be at same pleace. There are multic culture.
Mean girl!!!!
In my country,Our high school students almost wear uniformes ,and also seldom to complete what you wear or bags. Because every one is same each other ,so we don't focus in the appearance. The important things in Taiwan is gaining good scores in school and join some contests to win some prize.
In this movie talk many about different cultures. For example, Cady had lived long time in Africa. So the students like to talk with this different things between America and Africa.
This movie also set the presonality in those mean girls,they are difficult to accept any different with their life .So they would do some wrong things to other people.
But ,anyway I like this movie to remind me sincere person is better than hypocritical one.

- Movie synopsis
It all began when Cady Heron has to go to school because her parents wanted her to have a good education. She lives in South Africa and she studied at home during her elementary education, and now she has to study in a big high school. Her first day was disastrous, but her second day she made some friends. Two of them were "normal people", and the other were the "plastic girls". They were really friendly at the begining, but when she realized that they were very mean and only thought in their bodies and popularity. They didn´t have anything in their brains.
Her first friends hated the plastic group, so they made a plan to destroy them.
In the movie you can undersatnd the superficiality, how important itis to be popular, to be skinny, to be pretty, and not the really important things.
Then Candy pretends to be a "plastic woman" but in the process she transformed into it. She manages to ruin the life of Regina (the queen bee), and Regina gets public a book of rumors of herself, but Cady has to take the responsibilities of the book. It talks bad about everybody.
After all that, Cady went back to her normal attitude, she apologized with all the high school ans learned the lesson. At the end, the group of plastic woman separated and each one did positive activities.
2) High School stereotypes.
the High School stereotypes are: you are popular if you are plastic, friendly, a cheerleader or play in a sports team. If you are a cheerleader you have to be blonde and stupid. If you are not popular you are less than the other students. If you´re intelligent you´re a nerd and people can treat you badly. The popular people are the best, you have to admire them, follow their ideas, and they have the power in the school.
The movie represents almost the real life og high school students. In USA you´re really popular if you are a cheerleader or play any sport, and the popular people "are like the best things". But in real life, the popular people aren´t worshiped , and they don´t have so much power over everyone.
In my culture it is not the same, because we don´t have cheerleaders or schools teams, but the popular people are the friendliest and usually they can annoy everyone or be stupid and still be friends of people. Also we don´t treat badly the nerd teenagers, and they don´t have to be unpopular.
3) What does Mean Girls have to say about communication betwemm different cultures?
Mean Girls demonstrated that High School Americans are very multicultural. You can see people from South Africa or China , and there isn´t any racism among them.
Movie Mean Girls: Maria Jose
Mean Girls is a movie that talk about a girl who went out of her country Africa, she went to live to USA, there she saw some differents things of her culture, she was sorprysed to see how the people can be so differents and they never mix each other, she didn't liked it, but when she knew the popular girls, she thoght that the only way to be more well known could be to be friends ot taht plastic girls, so she begun to hang out with them, so started to like the guy that was boyfriend of the most popular girl, she was so pretty and she only wanted to be the most beatifull girl in all the school, she had an obsession to be thinner, so she asked at Katy how she can become thiner, Katy told her to eat some cereal loafs, and she started to eat that, so she believed in her, and then she started to get fat
Well later Regina only wanted to take revange on Katy... so she started to write papers with secrets of all the people of the school, and every body thought that Katy was the guilty, the end is that she felt sorry with everybody to make things like that she wanted to be popular, and the end could be really bad. But she did some things that make the people feel better, and she was feeling better too..!!!
2. In this movie we can see diferents stereotypes of people.. some of them are the nerds, the popular girls, homosexuals and lesbians, fat people, wanna be, etc..... each one has somethin in common, and they are together with their stereotype of person.
3. The comunication between the differnets cultures is almost nothing, anybody likes to mix with others kinds of race or etnic people... tath is really bad, because all are humans, and the most important is to respect at the others, and the most interesting thing is to trouble and know different people, everyone has something new the show at the others.
