1.) Illegal immigration
- The universalist does not care about people's circumstances or struggles or desire for a better life and more opportunities, but the man in the picture believes that as long as they are doing it illegally, then it is bad. On the other hand, there is the particularist approach where we can see a picture of a woman that says that her dreams are not illegal. In this case, she does not mind the status, but more about people progressing in life and dreaming of better opportunities even if they don't have the resources to do it legally.]]> 2017-02-17 01:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/154502791 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/154503202 2.) Abortion. In the universalist approach to the subject, I showed a video of a protest outside an abortion clinic of people who don't care what the problems the mother is having, they just believe all abortion is bad with no exceptions. In the particularist approach, we can see the three main reasons why people support women's choices, which are rape, incest, and health risks. By showing 3 reasons, they show how there believe there should be exceptions in which abortion can be performed.]]> 2017-02-17 01:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/154503202 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155659501 2017-02-23 04:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155659501 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670503 2017-02-23 07:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670503 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670569 2017-02-23 07:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670569 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670640 2017-02-23 07:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670640 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670714 Individualism:
Frozen- This song demonstrates indiviualism because the lyrics say how  she does not care what people say, she is doing what she wants to do for herself.
Picture- This pictures shows different people with different characteristics, colors, and clothing, which reinforces the idea that we are all different and it is important to celebrate those differences that make all of us unique.]]> 2017-02-23 07:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155670714 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155671087 Communitarianism
One race human- This picture puts aside all differences in the human race and sends the message that we are all human so I think is it communitarianism because it puts everyone in the same group, unlike the individualist example.
Scale- This is a representation of how the majority is what counts in many parts of the world and how it is valued more than individual opinions.]]> 2017-02-23 07:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/155671087 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543653 2017-03-03 07:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543653 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543679 2017-03-03 07:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543679 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543718 2017-03-03 07:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543718 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543864 2017-03-03 07:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543864 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543948 2017-03-03 07:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543948 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543963 2017-03-03 07:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157543963 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157544004 Diffuse: 
Taken- This quote from the movie Taken says how he is going to find his daughter's kidnapper and kill him but he doesn't know who he is, which he says, and no one knows how he is going to do it so I think it is an example of diffuse as their are no details involved, not even who this person is.
Trees- This picture shows how different kinds of trees are generalized under the category of just 'tree' which I think is a great example as details are not taken into account when this happens.]]> 2017-03-03 07:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157544004 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157544372 Specific:
Criminal Minds- I chose a picture of the Criminal Minds cast because in every episode, they analyze circumstances and small details to deliver a profile of the suspect and they end up finding out a lot of specific things about the suspect.
Over thinking- This picture shows a representation of what over thinking feels like and I think it is an example of being very specific and over analyzing details that make a person create problems that don't even exist. ]]> 2017-03-03 07:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/157544372 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162320149 2017-03-24 06:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162320149 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162320522 2017-03-24 06:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162320522 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162320563 2017-03-24 06:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162320563 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162321488 2017-03-24 06:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162321488 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162321530 Abscribe:

1.) This article shows the situation of Escobar's family many years after his death. Just for having his same blood, his family was discriminated against by many countries and many different people. It is a perfect example of how Escobar's reputation fell immediately on his family as if they were him, when this is clearly not the case.

2.) The picture of the English Royal family is a great example of abscribed statuses as they are given a powerful title just for being born.]]> 2017-03-24 06:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162321530 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162321779 Achieve:

1.) This short clip shows soccer player James Rodriguez practicing and showing the skills he possesses due to the hard work and dedication he has been putting into the sport he loves since he was a kid. Also in the video he says that he is always working to become a better player, he's not just comfortable in staying where he is now, which is not a bad place to be, but that is the mentality great achievers have.

2.) This quote said by Will Smith describes how he is a great example of someone with an achieved status as he didn't get to where he is now because he was born talented, but rather because he took that talent and worked extremely hard when others were, as he says, sleeping or eating.]]> 2017-03-24 06:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162321779 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162331081 2017-03-24 08:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/162331081 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163866741 This song represents an inner direction because it has lyrics like "you can be the backlash of somebody's lack of love, or you could stop speaking up" so it encourages people to be brave, and say what they want to say instead of settling with the bad things.]]> 2017-03-31 02:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163866741 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163866846 This quote describes an inner direction way of thinking as Gossip Girl's character, Blair Waldorf, says destiny is an excuse basically and the person should do the things themselves.]]> 2017-03-31 02:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163866846 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163867634 This quote is very outer directed as it trusts that everything will just fall into place if you wait, which is the complete opposite of an inner directed way of thinking.]]> 2017-03-31 02:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163867634 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163867955 This is a picture of a daughter imitating her mother and I think this can be considered outer because the girl observes what the mother does, learns from it, and then does it herself.]]> 2017-03-31 02:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163867955 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163868171 2017-03-31 02:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/163868171 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165316583 I found this video interesting and funny as it describes how Latinos view time and it relates completely to the synchronic way of doing so]]> 2017-04-07 07:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165316583 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165316821 I think standardized testing is a great example of sequential time as they expect students to answer the questions correctly but give them a very limited amount of time to do so.]]> 2017-04-07 07:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165316821 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165318247 This is a cartoon of the US culture vs the Japan culture representing the sequential way of thinking in the US and the synchronic way of thinking in Japan as the cartoon shows how they don't plan for time as they do in the US.]]> 2017-04-07 07:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165318247 mariannamorong https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165318591 This picture represents the time is money mentality which is how sequential time societies think.]]> 2017-04-07 07:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mariannamorong/morongarciaugs/wish/165318591
