I understand that this is a rule for the community. The fact that getting a job at age 12 is kind of unusual. Usually kids get jobs at ages 14-15. I just find it kind of unusual for having one job for the rest of your life. Say you're assigned to be a pilot. You have to be that job for the rest of your life, or you can appeal it and change jobs. In a nutshell, it just seems weird to me having a job this young. The employers are the only ones who benefit from this rule. It just means more work for the kids, who should live their lives like kids. Eliminating choice in a society could eventually cause harm. Say some dictator takes over our country and eliminates our freedom. He could enforce unlawful or harmful rules that we couldn't speak up to. In the community, people can't have free speech or they will be "released." ]]> 2017-10-19 14:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198696430 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198696795  1.  The family unit in the story is an extension of the structure in the community. The family unit helps to keep the children and adults in the community.  ]]> 2017-10-19 14:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198696795 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198697488 1)
I think having a family unit along with daily rituals that are preformed almost (if not everyday) would take away a lot from what its like having a real family, and actually talking to them with your own free will instead of relying on a special time that is kinda forced onto you and not as personal as it would be in the families that we have in the real world, and both the limit on children (one boy and one girl) and the child selection is also very strange and if this rule was applied to today's world things would be very different including my own family where its me and my younger sister. So having rituals would change a lot of how families bond and interact in many ways, including the size of the family, and personally I think that would create a type of fake bond between families. Interesting perspective.  Be sure to use punctuation!  I agree that this form of sharing would limit the closeness of relationships.  However, children and parents miss out on creating this bond like we do.  Our children are not chosen for us (so to speak) as they are in Jonas' community.   ]]> 2017-10-19 14:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198697488 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198698303 1.

Their daily rituals give them an opportunity to share there beliefs and feeling and that makes family stronger. Shelby, respond to the post and questions with Kayla and I.  I believe that having a family unit would benefit the families bond because you get to analyze the emotion that you have felt that day and i think that is very smart. A real life connection to this situation is when my mom says "Tell me whats wrong i cant read you're mind say what you feel." This is an example of how this would "daily ritual" Would help.]]> 2017-10-19 15:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198723369 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198728099 1) The family unit is very different from today's society. They seem to have a lot of communication and discuss their feelings regularly. Unlike today where discussing our feelings is certainly not required. The daily rituals also help to promote acceptance with in the family unit. Such as telling of dreams and discussing their days at dinner. Imagine what our society would be like if we only shared dreams from 8 - 9 am.  Think about why Lilly called the boy at her school an "animal."  What does this tell you about here knowledge of such?   ]]> 2017-10-19 15:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/198728099 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/199700580 2. Their daily rituals bring the family unit close together for multiple reasons. The rituals are Dream-telling and evening telling of feeling. These enhance the bond because there is no secrets between the members. While they describe their feelings the family members, the family comments and make sure that there feelings are changed.

Children always think about their dream job what they want to be when they grow up. The elders choosing your job not only doesn't let you pick your job, but it will never change. You are stuck with one job forever. In our society you have the ability to choose your change and change it if you desire to. I feel like if I was assigned one job for my whole life I wouldn't live up to my full potential because I would never know if I could do better. Like if I could succeed more in a different field of work.  At this point, you would have no choice but to be good at your job.  What might happen if you weren't?   Can you change jobs? 
If are not good at your job the elders will possibly release you from the community because they see you ]]> 2017-10-23 17:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/199700653 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/199702435 5.)

In a bad way the rules drastically limit individuality. There isn't much "room" to choose what you wanted to do because the life of the family is already chosen by the authority and community. Also there are restriction to the time limits of telling dreams and feelings.]]> 2017-10-23 17:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/199703414 https://padlet.com/bethnewby31/5p6wseovx4gj/wish/199704118 1) The family unit a little strange, Because you have a mother and a father and then two random kids that might not even be related to the parents at all. which is kind of weird.
