100% American

I don't believe that there will ever really be an American culture, an American culture now days is what anyone individual wants it to be. For an example one day I could study Muslim religion and then the next day study Christianity. Also in America we are considered to be the melting pot of the world, because of the fact that in our Constitution we can practice any culture whichever one you choose to do. If you were to go through your everyday activities you'd find out that many of the things you do are found from many different cultures. Such as foods, clothing, religion, ect. Foods are a major culture diffusion of United States. Such as Mexican, Chinese, Mongolian, and Italian. Also there is many religions throughout the United States that such as Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Celtic Pagan, Buddhism, and Hinduism. In the future I do not see the United States creating its own culture and ways. The reason for the is because United States takes in some many different cultures and we as the people in the United States just adapt new culture differences and make them our own. The definition of an American culture would be the fact that we use everyone else's culture as our own and claim them as ours.

Abandon Ship

In the United States we value what people are capable of doing and their skills. The values that I have reflect on the people I picked to stay on the boat. I believe that many other cultures would make the same decisions I had made because of the circumstances that I was in. Values are established by what they are capable of. People who surround you and the environment you are surrounded by.

I believe that cursive is becoming a dead handwriting style. It is not just cursive that is dying it is also the fact that a lot of the things these days are typed over keyboards and cellphones. But I do believe that cursive should still be taught to the younger generation because of the fact some people still write in cursive and that many of the historical documents of the United States is written in cursive and not teaching the youth cursive would make it next to impossible to read.
The watch is a great invention that helps people with keeping up with apps. Also it may push us away from many of our older ways.

Individualistic or dependent

I believe that in certain situations that we as people can be either very dependent on one another and also be very individualistic. It just depends on what situation we find ourselves in and if we need help to preserver through a traumatic event. But naturally I believe most humans are dependent on one another.

Freaks and Geeks

Recently I have watched the pilot episode for the show "Freaks and Geeks". During the show I have seen many different examples of funtionalist, conflict, and interactionist perspectives. For the funtionalist perspective an example would be that when Sam and his friends Neal and Bill got together to fight Alan. This example would also fall under the conflict perspective because of the fact that the geeks and fights for control over Alan White. For an interactionist perspective an example would be the way Harold says if his kids do wrong it always results in fatal consequences.
   Alan White has power over the geeks but soon loses it to Sam's sister Lindsay when she caught him picking on Sam, Bill, and Neal. Alan White had the power because he always could over power the geeks. Alan used it to make the geeks bend to his will. There are three main groups in the series "Freaks and Geeks". One of them is the geeks that consist of Sam, Bill, and Neal. Another group that is in the series is the Freaks that consists of, Daniel, Nick, Ken, and Kim.

I am a energetic and fun to be around guy, always making jokes. Always staying busy with athletics in the school and working in the summer. What makes me who I am is the people that are around me and the things they do around me. Some of the biggest influences around me sports, parents, school, and the jobs that I have had throughout my life. My goals for my life are to finish high school, graduate college, and obtain and career in the field I enter.
