The picture of the birthday candles with the number 18 is an example of sequential time. The whole concept of different numbered ages is a concept created by humans, and larger numbers equates to an older age. Age follows a sequential pattern, with one age following the next, and makes it easy to quantify how old someone is in a numbers-based way. The picture of a lady inserting a piece of paper into a clock represents clocking in and out at work. While working, you get paid by the hour, and by clocking in and out it is easy to keep track of how many hours you have worked in a week. The number of hours worked determines how much you get paid, and as this adds up sequentially it is a very sequential concept. The picture of music notes represents synchronous time. Music moves in time, and creates a rhythm that people can follow. By listening to music, people can get into the groove of the sound, and their body and mid can adjust to suit this new rhythm through dancing or just following along with the music. Meditation is another example of synchronous time. While mediating, sequential time fades away, instead being replaced by the rhythm of your body and the environment surrounding you. Through a deep sense of calm and introspection, you are able to forget about the passage of time and live in the moment instead.

The picture of Walter White from the TV show Breaking Bad serves as an example of an Inner way of thinking. Walt leaves nothing up to circumstance; he always has a plan concerning his next course of action, and because he believes himself to be the best meth cook in the world he always does things his way, because in his mind any other way would be sub-par. The picture of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is an example of Inner because Un has total control over his country. Nothing is left up to chance; what Kim Jong says goes, and all of his subordinates live in fear of his absolute power. The picture of the christian cross represents an example of an outer way of thinking. A philosophy central to Christianity is that God has a plan for all of us, and no matter how bad things seem you can trust that He has put you in this situation for a reason. People are encouraged to trust in God above themselves, as he is all knowing and his plan is absolute. Another example of outer is Master Yoda from Star Wars. The philosophy of the force is similar to some of the religions present in the real world. To be a true Jedi master, one must give themselves over to the force, trusting in its power and letting it guide their actions. Yoda has mastered his use of the force by employing a very outer, existential way of thinking.

The picture of the SAT logo represents achievement because the SAT test is graded on an achievement-based scale. If you know more material and get more questions on the test correct, then you are given a higher score, and colleges will be more likely to accept you based on this achievement of a higher score. The picture of Michael Phelps represents achievement because Phelps worked his whole life to become the swimmer he is today. His hard work eventually paid off, as he is now the most decorated Olympian in history, and is widely celebrated for his achievement. The picture of Batman represents ascribed because Bruce Wayne was born into a rich family, and had status others didn't possess his whole life. Even though he had to work to become Batman, his wealth allowed him to truly become the dark knight in all his glory, and because of the fact that he was better off than most he felt the need to give back by saving those in need. Finally, the picture of King Joffrey from Game of Thrones represents ascribed. Because Joffrey was the supposed son of King Robert, when Robert died he took the throne, despite the fact that he was only around 13 years old. It doesn't make logical sense for an inexperienced child to run a vast kingdom, but because of his ascribed status Joffrey came into power, and turned out to be a terrible king.

The image of a series of calculus equations represents a specific way of thinking because calculus is a very exact science. It uses quantifiable numbers and graphical expressions to represent motion and other real-life occurrences, in a very detail-oriented manner. The robot is another example of specificity, because robots are designed to carry out very specific tasks. They run on equations and algorithms, and do not possess the diffuseness they would require in order to feel real emotion or act on instinct, such as humans do. The picture of a man and a woman dancing is from the movie "The Great Gatsby," and it represents a diffuse way of thinking. In the movie, Gatsby glorifies his love interest, Daisy, to the point where in his eyes she can do no wrong. He makes millions of dollars and throws enormous parties just to meet her again, and his love for her is all based on the image of her he has created in his head. This describes a conundrum of diffuse thinking, where an idea becomes so perfect it becomes unattianable in real life. The image of Adolf Hitler represents another instance of diffuse thinking. Hitler's political views were considered radical in the beginning, and he only had a small group of followers. However, he quickly gained power, and projected his way of thinking onto the group. He made his quest so noble in his mind, that he refused to believe in anything that might oppose it, killing millions in an attempt to realize his dream of German dominance.

The picture of the symbol of the USSR represents community taken to an extreme. The USSR was a communist society, a structure based on the principle the everyone should be equal. Therefore, people were all more or less at the same level, and were not allowed to excel if they possessed a certain talent that could distinguish them from the masses. The picture of Jordan Belfort represents individualism, as Belfort was a very selfish man who was able to rise to the top of the stock trading business, but only after bending the rules to his advantage through crime. The image of the people rowing represents community, as all of the rowers have to work together in order to succeed, and when they cross the finish line they all get to reap the reward of their toil. Finally, the picture of the multi-million dollar mansion represents individualism, as such a house requires a lot of space and energy to maintain. If everyone wanted a house as grand as this, it would take more than one earth to satisfy them all.

The picture of OJ Simpson in court is an example of universalism, because it shows that in universalist societies even the rich and powerful are not above the law. The picture of people in line outside a DMV also showcases universalism, because regardless of each person's individual situation they are all forced to wait in line in a systematic manner tailored to the group as a whole. The strangely flavored chips represent particularism because the flavors of these chips are tailored towards a particular set of people who would enjoy them, and not the entire consumer body. The picture of a VIP room in a club represents particularism because such a room is only reserved for those who possess the money or status required for entry, and once they are admitted they receive a personal, unique experience that differs from those who are in the general area of the club.

Hi, I'm Zac. I'm a freshman mechanical engineering student here at UT Austin. I enjoy skiing, SCUBA diving, hiking, biking, and other outdoors activities. Although I come from an only-English speaking family, I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, so I know a few words and phrases of the language. I visited Cozumel and Cancun this past summer on a 2-week long diving trip, and was able to use some of my Spanish skills to (poorly) communicate with the people I met there. I was in band all 4 years of high school, where I played trumpet, and participated as drum major during my final two years of the marching season.
