         <title>Gun Violence, social issues (Molly Swiger)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Current state of transportation is a social issue. People commonly complain about traffic, unsafe conditions, wasted time, etc. Some objective qualifications of this issue could be high accident rates while driving or increasing pollution levels.<br>2. The Subjectivists would qualify the current state of transportation as an issue because of the number of drivers who are affected.<br>3. From a subjectivist approach, the most effective way to gain supporters for gun regulations would be to show how many current supporters there are or showcase all of the people who have been affected by gun violence. That way, people could realize the huge scale that this problem really is on.<br>4. Gun suicides are viewed as a social problem. Many people look at the causes of suicide and will attribute them to what is wrong with society today. These deaths could be minimized if some of these pressures were taken away.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. My name was chosen since it was simple, and easy to say.<br>2. Yes, I have had a teacher who didn't share my cultural background. I didn't have any cross-cultural issues with my teacher.<br>3. Yes, there are benefits to&nbsp; being educated by someone with a different cultural background since it shapes you as a person. You get a perspective you might not have gotten if you had the same cultural background.&nbsp;<br>4. People with simple names do not have to worry about getting laughed at about their name or being made fun of because of their name in any way.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. I've learned to always be polite and courteous while talking to adults, never disobey my family, always try your hardest at everything, and never give up<br>2.) Being polite was taught to me explicitly because my parents didn't raise me to be a bad kid and disrespect people and most of the others were modeled.<br>3.) Because other people have different values and norms that other people which can lead to different actions<br>4.) Because not everyone has the same amount of money and to some people money is the rude of all evil.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>I Do: Examining Weddings Through 3 Sociological Theories (James Vagedes)</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/ventrekl/culture/wish/126342848</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. I agree, because, people always want their wedding to go just how they imagined it, or dreamed of, and the wedding is seen as a failure or as less perfect if it does not go this way.<br><br>2. Although not discussed, Social Learning Theory proves itself to be relevant in wedding planning.&nbsp; The theory explains that people&nbsp; judge their own actions off of the actions of others.&nbsp; It is common in today's society for people to talk about and visualize massive expensive weddings.&nbsp; When planned, the couple does not want people to see anything less than a movie-like scene, so the result is more money spent.&nbsp; Instead of thinking entirely for themselves, the couple falsely learns that the wedding HAS to be expensive.<br><br>3. In 1950, the average wedding only cost about $79 USD, which would be about $789 USD today. With the average wedding cost today being $32,64 USD, there is a $31,852 USD difference.<br><br>4. I agree.  People always want to be the first to do things.  Everyone wants to be the fastest and show off to friends and family.  Society sees the first to do things as the most successful.  This results in competition and things being rushed.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. This closest week I actually took a lyft ride, and was obviously they provided me with a ride. I was distant with them in the fact that I didn't tell them anything about me but I was near in the sense that I was physically near and I did speak to them.<br>2. It's like Uber it just wasn't socially acceptable nor created yet.<br>3. Yes, it was awkward yet efficient and overall not too bad.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Some ways ive modified my body: cut and dyed my hair, have my ears and belly button pierced, i actually use a waist trainer<br>2. 2 body modifications over time:&nbsp; smaller waists, bigger hips and butt<br>3. society puts this image of what a women is supposed to look like in everyone's head causing women to want to look the same. A lot of people will go to all types of extremes to meet the standards.&nbsp;<br>4. Making changes to your body can also have a positive affect on yourself. When you see yourself in a light that youve always desired you tend to be more happy </div>]]></description>

         <title>Kylie Walker- The Lasting Effects of Having Teachers Mispronounce your name</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/ventrekl/culture/wish/126345258</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. The story behind my name is that my parent did not want me to have a very common name. My mom liked the&nbsp; name Carly, but my dad did not. So then they came up with Kylie instead because it is a combination of carly and my dad's first/middle names, which is Ty Lee.<br>2. I have had teachers of different cultures, mainly that of hispanic culture. Because those teachers and I grew up around different ways of doing things they often believed that our behaviors were wrong or inappropriate, even if we were not doing anything considered wrong by the culture here.<br>3.I do see how there could be benefits by being educated by someone who is of a different culture than me. I could learn new and different traits, skills and expectations/standards from this, even if I end up believing they are too out of the oridnary for me to follow. As a white student being taught by mostly white faculty I believe we miss out on opportunities to learn pieces of new cultures along with the standards the county assigns them to teach us.<br>4. Having a teacher pronounce my name correctly could make my social privaledge invisible because I would not even have to worry about having a teacher pronounce my name wrong. But, it is pretty common for my name to be mispronounced. A majority of people pronounce my name kaylee or kyle. it is very irritating because my name is not that difficult.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The Lasting Effects of Having a Teacher Mispronounce Your Name (Milan Small)</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/ventrekl/culture/wish/126345316</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. My mom gave me the name I have because she went to Russia and had a translator who's name was Milan and she liked the way it sounded and the meaning behind it.&nbsp;<br>2. Yes, I have had a teacher who didn't share my cultural background, but that has never created any cross-cultural issues.<br>3. Yes, I could see some benefits. Due to the fact that there are more white teachers than any other race, they are not able to share the same cultural background with their students or educated their students on their own culture because they are not of the same race.&nbsp;<br>4. If I were to have a stereotypical black girl name and the boss of a company that I was trying to get hired for was incapable of pronouncing my name correctly there is a chance that I would not get hired, whereas if a white female were to come in and have a stereotypical white name that is more likely to be easily pronounced, she might have a better chance of getting the job than I do. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. I've cut and dyed my hair and changed my eating habits.<br>2. Before around the '90s, a thicker body type was more desirable for women rather than being very thin or having an hour glass figure. Even the hairstyles that are in fashion have changed drastically within even the past 20 years.<br>3. They cause people to feel like they have to live up to a standard that is just unrealistic and sometimes causes them to go through expensive or sometimes dangerous means just to fit the mold that society wants.<br>4. Altering your body can be empowering because it gives the person the strength and the option to do what they want and what makes them feel comfortable. When people accomplish some body altering goal, it can help make them so much more comfortable in their own skin and therefore can make them happier.</div>]]></description>

People oftentimes make fun of One Direction for getting their start on a singing show with the help of Simon Cowell<br>3. When you score a winning point, people like to say that it was luck that helped you win, when really you put in a lot of work to be able to make that point; it makes your hard work feel useless, like what's the point if no one thinks it was all you, but rather luck<br>4. Yes, when a student that doesn't usually do well gets a good grade, they are usallly thought to be cheating immediately, rather than to be working harder</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Gun violence in inner-city 'traps' is common because most individuals who peddle drugs in these areas feel as if firearms are their only protection from getting robbed of their money and narcotics.<br>2. Gun violence from a subjectivist perspective is seen by most as an issue of the federal government allowing the open carry of them in most states, thus gangsters in the inner city use them for robbery protection and some cops use them irresponsibly to detain individuals (but its more like maim individuals) </div>]]></description>

"Seeing the familiar as strange"<br>Some examples in the US would be taking snapchat selfies, how we act at concerts (clothes, staying in the rain, ect.), football game rituals<br>2. Being a cultural relativist can be challenging because it causes you to evaluate with an open mind and withhold judgements that we have engrained into our minds. Looking at another culture without judging it is difficult, but allows you to see what it actually is.<br>3. They eat ketchup on their pizza. In the US, people usually only put cheese and spices on their pizza because there is already tomato sauce on it. Cultural relativists do not judge but simply say that there are different ways to eat pizza.<br>4. The declaration of human rights is an example of social relativity because it highlights that each individual has their own rights. They are free to act how they want, as long as they abide by the laws, and it celebrates this freedom.</div>]]></description>

Typically all black is worn and there are religious items around depending on the religion.<br>3. I think I would like to be cremated, I can't fathom the fact of being buried underground. I'd like to be ash then rot. I don't really know I guess just shows I've watched of people being buried alive, obviously I'd be dead but still I can't stand it.<br>4. I've previously known about cremation or just a regular burial. But there is also just some ritualistic festivals and celebrations, there are shrines dedicated to people and such.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Matching Men: Tinder &amp; The Presentation of Masculinity<br>1) My dad was the one to ask my mom on a date, they just had similar personalities. <br>2) I agree because it is simple and people want simplicity in dating. <br>3) Tinder's distance restrictions definitely cause issues for people in rural areas<br>4) Women don't necessarily look for all things if she wants a masculine man but I certainly agree for the most part it's the stereotype.<br><br>Posing The Dead and other Death Rituals<br>1) Eco-friendly funerals certainly change the dynamic of the funeral service, coffins, etc. <br>2) Nothing was used to help, it was simply a Rabbi saying a few prayers and family speeches<br>3) When I die I don't care what happens to my body as it is just a body. My belief is likely different from others I grew up with as I <br>grew up in a wealthier situation where people might prefer more expensive services.<br>4) Death rituals vary globally and chronologically. In ancient Egypt royalty were buried in massive pyramids, English royalty was buried<br>traditionally as modern people are.<br><br>The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Social Construction of Cosmetically Challenged Food <br>1) Grocery chains want to be seen as professional, reliable, and if they have "weird" products they won't be seen as 'normal' and<br>'reliable' or a consistant source for food. <br>2) Unnatrative produce tastes the same. <br>3) People tend to reject "ugly" things in general. <br>4) It's cheaper, easy, helps the environment, and reduce waste. <br><br>The Coke Ad and What it Means to be American<br>1) Assimilation is when an 'outsider' moves to a new location and adopts their practices.<br>2) Overt means open and outwardly stated, there are still subconcious restrictions/racism in this country.<br>3) The public likely reacted negatively to the ones in languages of people from radical countries or countries that are abused by Coca-<br>Cola's plants. <br>4) Racially coded language is language that is subtly racist and discriminatory. "Speak English" is racially coded as most people<br>who don't speak English are of a difference race.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

Instances where violence affects the fans is the Eternal Derby in Serbia, and the riots in 1993-94 in Dallas, Chicago, Montreal, and Vancouver.<br>4. Violence applies to other aspects of culture because wars are fought with violence, and mass/social media encourages violence when promoting protests and riots.</div>]]></description>

We could give less privileged kids the help they need by providing chances that more privileged people get, we can make them more affordable and make their goals not seem as unbelievable<br>4.

         <link>https://padlet.com/ventrekl/culture/wish/126364023</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. A folkway is a commonly accepted norm without great social significance. A more is a norm with great significance. Mores are enforced by laws called sanctions.<br>2. I learned to drive in the suburbs of Johns Creek. There is a pretty high level of traffic, especially when I have to drive to Atlanta. A folkway from driving would be to merge to the left lane on Kimball Bridge before the light because the lane ends. A more would be not running a red light.<br>3. Common driving patterns include fast drivers in the left lane and slower traffic in the right, some people texting, seatbelts on, listening to music, yielding to pedestrians.<br>4. A geographically based folkway in Atlanta would be turning whenever you get the chance (unprotected left or right) because you don't know when you will get the chance again.&nbsp;In other places with less traffic there would be more time to turn and less rush. &nbsp;Driving through an intersection on yellow, while legal, is most likely more common in an area with more traffic. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. I got my name because my parents were inspired by a song called "Sweet Baby James". &nbsp;<br><br>2.Yes, teachers were not able to pronounce my German last name properly, because the were not familiar with it. &nbsp;<br><br>3. Yes, I would be able to learn new culture and they way they act.&nbsp; With only white teachers, students miss out on cultural&nbsp; differentiation opportunities. &nbsp;<br><br>4. If my name is being pronounced correctly, you will not be familiar with the problems of it being mispronounced.   </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. In my culture, it is common to sit in a room with several other people for 7 hours a day, which may be odd to people who are less technologically advanced.<br><br>2. People have such different views on how things should be done and based off of what is normal in their society, they are inclined to feel biased on the issue.<br><br>3. It is odd and unusual. In the USA, people often dip their pizza in ranch and garlic sauce.&nbsp; This is just normal for each culture, it is just what they typically eat.<br><br>4. This would fall under the right to a&nbsp;nationality.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li>What is the story behind your name? Describe how your family selected your name(s). <strong>There isn't a story behind my first name, only that it has became popular in the years of 2000. My last name is extremely rare, "Gallon."</strong></li><li>Have you ever had a teacher who didn’t share your cultural background? What cross-cultural issues, if any, did you experience? <strong>Yes, majority of the teachers I have had were of different cultural background, but only had a problem when the teacher said my last name wrong.</strong></li><li>Could you see some possible benefits to being educated by someone who was from a cultural background different from yours? If so, what learning opportunities do you think that white students may be missing out on because of the overrepresentation of white Americans in the teacher pool?-<strong>Learning about other cultures instead of being mostly around their own culture.</strong></li><li>Sociologists are keen on saying that social privilege is often invisible to those who have it. How could having your teacher pronounce your name correctly be an example of this? <strong>-That many of those people have not experience multiple cultures or outside of their own.</strong></li></ol><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/ventrekl/culture/wish/126524953</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. I would define violence as something that one considers to be harmful in a physical, or emotional level.<br>2. Most sports have violent qualities, like in football, a very rough hit. In soccer a dangerous tackle. I would consider boxing to be a very violent sport compared to other though, mainly because the protection is minimal, and that the contact is purely meant to hurt the other opponent until they do not get up.<br>3. I know that have seen bad fights between fans of different countries during the Euro's. Mainly between Russia and England.<br>4. My definition is quite broad, but in this case it seems to be acceptable to most situations that you put the definition into.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Olivia Rokose</div><div><br></div><div>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Yes I have used a selfie stick and seen someone use it. I do not thing the product is a necessity but it does create cool pictures because it is able to include more scenery and/or people.</div><div>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A phone case. I bought this to show my style and make my phone look pretty.&nbsp;</div><div>3.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Selfie sticks can be a concern for people’s safety, it distracts other people and tourists from the attractions they have come to see, and they take the job of professional photographers. It makes a selfie stick less attractive because I do not want to cause other people issues because I want to take a selfie on a mountain.&nbsp;</div><div>4.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Selfie sticks are not negative elements of society. Selfie sticks just allow people to include more in their selfies and selfies are not negative elements to society. Selfies are just ways people document the places they have been and the people they have spent time with. The selfie stick is very similar to the gopro and the gopro hasn’t caused any major issues. The selfie stick has just become another subcategory to photography and a way of expressing certain emotions. It is just an easy way to take a picture and that cannot be harmful to society. Most people will argue it promotes narcissism but with the selfie stick people are documenting the event not taking pictures of their face.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Olivia Rokose</div><div><br></div><div>1.       Thanksgiving means spending quality time with my family and being aware of everything I have and realizing how lucky I am to have all these things. I learned to give it that meaning form activities in my early childhood that included writing what we were thankful for and painting hand turkeys. </div><div>2.       It does mean they are real because they are something a large group of people have accepted and believe in. What makes something real is a large number of people believing in something. </div><div>3.       The American Flag has multiple meanings depending on where you are from and how you grew up. Over time certain events have occurred that have included America associating the American Flag with things like violence to people from the Middle East or Freedom from countries with a lot of control like North Korea. </div><div>4.       Over 115 professional organizations representing civil rights, educational, athletic, and scientific experts have published resolutions or policies that state that the use of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States">Native American</a> names and/or symbols by non-native sports teams is a harmful form of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_stereotyping">ethnic stereotyping</a> that promotes misunderstanding and prejudice which contributes to other problems faced by Native Americans. Support for continued use of the name has come from the team's owners and a majority of fans, which include some Native Americans. Supporters say that the name honors the achievements and virtues of Native Americans, and that it is not intended in a negative manner. This illustrates the concepts described in the article because it showcases how different symbols mean different things to different people. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Thanksgiving to me means spending time with family (and guiltless eating). I learned this meaning from my parents.<br>2. Who knows anything is real?<br>3. Another symbol that has different meanings our culture is the Confederate flag. To some, it is a sign of racism; to others, it is their way of exercising their freedom of speech.<br>4.The issue of the Washington Redskins is that some believe the term "Redskin" is a racial slur towards Native Americans. While others believe that it is just the name of a football team. This illustrates the concepts because some see it as racially motivated, while others see it at face value, a holiday where you give thanks to your loved ones.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Why Can’t We All Agree Gun Violence is a Social Problem? (Zach Ourada)</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/ventrekl/culture/wish/126542785</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Gun violence in inner-city 'traps' is common because most individuals who peddle drugs in these areas feel as if firearms are their only protection from getting robbed of their money and narcotics. <br>2. Gun violence from a subjectivist perspective is seen by most as an issue of the federal government allowing the open carry of them in most states, thus gangsters in the inner city use them for robbery protection and some cops use them irresponsibly to detain individuals (but its more like maim individuals)<br>3. Subjectively, any change to gun regulation could have positive or negative out comes. Most people tend to think that increasing regulation would mean it would make guns less accessible to the public and thus less protection of its citizens. However, Obama is onto something, despite my views on his policy. Guns need to be out of the hands of the public all together, and if no guns exist, then the social violence that goes along with the possession of one would tend to occur less frequently.<br>4. Gun suicide or suicide aided by the use of firearms are definantly a social problem. Much of it is the accebility and connections that can be made with between people who sell guns and the mentally unstable. The largest part as to due with isolation and stagnation as well as loss of motivation, which leads an individual to carry out something so awful out and through.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. The stranger gave me insight on a perspective I wouldn't have learned any other way. We spoke on an extremely deep level except the comfort of knowing the person was not there. I was unsure how much to tell thing person.<br>2. The stranger was always considered creepy and unsafe. Parents always tell their children not to talk to strangers. Strangers were people in society that stayed away from everyone.<br>3. The uber driver had a little picture of their face and a description of their car. I knew exactly what to look for. The ride was a little awkward since I'm not used to taxis in general. <br>4. No, because letting a stranger who is paying you to take them somewhere is equally as dangerous as giving a random person on the street a ride.</div>]]></description>

Prom was similar to what i was expecting. They are huge when on T.V. they are sometimes smaller. Also, in movies the dances are usually occur in the high school gyms. Our dances are not. All the girls wore gowns and the guys wore tuxedos.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br>2.) This happens because Muslim girls are not allowed to date or dance with boys because of their religious beliefs.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br>3.) Prom is sometimes used as a measure of social status. So, all the students come together in one place. Sometimes the students make new friends and sometimes they just stick with their groups.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br>4.) Honestly, i cannot think of any other ways that can make prom less stratified. I think the dance and games bring all the students together.<br><br>- Sofia Soltis<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Society expects people to wear cloths when they go out in public so naturally, it would be seen as odd, weird, unusual, and unnatural if one were to go out in public with no cloths on. People usually want to fit in with societal norms regarding outer appearance because what cloths you wear and even how you wear those cloths says a lot about you. People can choose cloths they feel comfortable in and still express themselves. The only societal norms regarding clothing are that you go out in public dressed. The clothing being comfortable depends on the person who wears it.<br>2. A hat is one article of clothing that tells the world that the wearer likes the wear hats because it's comfortable and it's how they like to express their personality. As for social hierarchy, wearing hats may say that that they are middle class or higher because hats are not necessary but are more of an accessory. Another article of clothing is gloves. Gloves are typically used during the winter to keep the wearer's hands warm; however, like hats, gloves are not necessary. This may also indicate that the wearer is middle class or higher. Scarves are another article of clothing that indicates middle class or higher because they are not necessary, merely an accessory that helps to define your personality.<br>3. Whether wearing athleisure to work is appropriate or not depends on what kind of job you have. For example, if you work in an office then I do not think it would be appropriate because an office is more of a professional setting. I don't think coworkers would take you very seriously if you showed up to the office in athleisure wear.&nbsp;<br>4. No, the article did not change my opinion. As I said before, athleisure wear for work depends on what kind of job you have. If you work in a more professional setting or even if you are higher up on the chain of power in your work place, I think it is more appropriate to wear professional clothing so that coworkers respect you. I think the less professional the work setting is the more appropriate it is to work athleisure to the workplace.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li>Some things that are widely done in my culture that would likely be seen as odd to outsiders are football game rituals, homecoming, and prom.</li><li>I think it's hard to be a cultural relativist sometimes because somethings in a different culture may just seem to odd for a person to come to terms with. Everyone has their own culture and when looking at a different culture, it's hard to look at it and say, “this is just one of the many ways a person can live” because their way is the way that they grew up with.</li><li>They dipped their pizza in ketchup which is a bit odd because people in the US don't put any type of sauce on their pizza. They just put toppings on their pizza. A cultural relativist would look at the difference and think, “Well that's another way to eat pizza”.</li><li>Universal human rights are culturally relative because they say that people are free to act however they want, as long as it follows the law.</li></ol><div><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Subculture: The Example of Bonnaroo (Zach Ourada)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. An example of subculture that I participated in was when I went to an EDM concert. Surprisingly there was some Festival Trap, Dubstep, Moombahton, and DNB all in one concert. All the listed genres are sub-genres of EDM, which had enjoyable benefits at the venue.<br>2. The EDM sub-culture and we could say DNB (drum and bass) for this example, has a recognizable drum pattern that cleaves it from being considered just EDM. Holistically, EDM is electronic dance music which is a completely other ball park when it comes to comparing a genre like : country.<br>3. Drum and Bass is a genre of music for getting hyped and putting some individuals into a trance. Most feel like they belong by just by bobbing their head or jumping around. Most will wear I guess new-age clothing? and they behave like most normal people. Although I could admit some fans are sort of geeky and not your average music festival fan.<br>4. Hipsters are regarded as the more liberal individuals who are on the cusp of creating a new generation of free spirits and transcendentalists. That the best definition i can give out of my current thought.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1.In America it is standard for kids in public schools to not wear uniforms as they believe it encourages kids creativity and gives them a way to express their uniqueness. In India all schools even public ones wear uniforms as they believe it promotes unity among kids and not judge each other based on the type of clothes they wear, so I know personally many Indian adults find the American norm quite weird.<br>2.Because people are too full of themselves. Everybody believes they are the best and do what is best. Intuitively such thinking makes us judge other norms or traditions as sub par compared to our own.<br>3.People in Iran dip pizza in ketchup. I know this is the norm in India as well. People in the states do not put extra sauce on their pizza and instead put chili flakes or some other type of flakes. A cultural relativist would see it as different strokes for different folks. He may even want to try pizza with ketchup himself in the future.<br>4.Human rights should be universally accepted. However they are not. In many middle eastern countries women are seen as sub par to men. Thus it is culturally relative what "universal rights" are.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. My mode of transportation to school is pretty automated. I use the school bus system and do not have to think much about it, just go to the stop at the specified time.<br>2. Someone from the conflict perspective would say that these days technology has caused many conflicts over how it should be used and regulated. Governments around have different view on censorship often to the anger of their people.<br>3. My future career as a programmer could be automated if artificial intelligence becomes sophisticated enough to code their own machines and themselves. That would be a sad day for me and maybe my job will become to perform maintenance on the robots instead.<br>4. Human intervention is necessary in the event of technical difficulties when the computer does not know what to do. The computer can only do what it is programmed how to do. If you order the same thing twice the computer may or may not catch that mistake but a human most definitely will or at least should.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. A more common example of gender difference associated around objects would be large popularity of lingerie in the female American culture. I don't see men talking to each other about taking a trip to Victoria Secret to fins some men lingerie.&nbsp;<br>2. Another that doesn't pertain to exactly American culture would be: the burkkah. This object is representative of the laws and beliefs that exist in Middle Eastern regions.<br>3. Casual events place less stress on both genders of individuals.<br>4. I believe pushing the boundaries on this subject is a good direction to social change. I saw Jaden Smith had been in a very high-fashion magazine breaking gender norms and boundaries. He wore a skirt and other clothing that is applicable to the opposite sex but it still looked chic and groundbreaking.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1.My family taught me to always save some money from my paycheck or allowance and respect my elders. I learnt table manners and how to dress on certain occasions or how to celebrate them. For examples Diwali is amazing in my family. It is an Indian holiday where we burst crackers and enjoy the lights.<br>2.&nbsp; I learnt how to save money explicitly as well as how to respect elders in India. But I inferred proper table manners and how people around me celebrate certain holidays in India.<br>3. It can become awkward if the other person is not sensitive how the generalized other might not be sensitive to the persons unique identity or be culturally relative to the other persons norms.<br>4. </div>]]></description>
