The woman in the video received a parking ticket at 9:59:58 for parking in an area where parking was not allowed before 10. This part is an example of universalism because whoever issued her the ticket remained strict with law and applied it even under the circumstance that her parking would have been legal if two more seconds had gone by. The judge is an example of particularism because he dismissed the ticket after looking at the circumstances and did not follow the law strictly.]]> 2017-02-17 05:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jaimeramos04/JaimeRamosPadlet/wish/154518480 jaimeramos04 https://padlet.com/jaimeramos04/JaimeRamosPadlet/wish/154519237 Universalism searches for

In sports such as football and basketball, teams find themselves racing against the clock. In sports such as these, the basic idea is to get more points than the other team before the time runs out.
