Respond to this quote from the book (one or two sentences please):

bhurley — 2013-05-13 20:35:58 UTC

“Groups of people living in circumstances pretty similar to their ancestors’ act a lot like their ancestors”

Describe the experiment that takes place in Ch. 6. Do you think it's a good experiment or is it flawed? What do the results mean?

For me, Cultural Honour is people live or born in one culture, they learn special things from their culture love thier culture and respect their culture.

Cultural Honour is belonging to a certain type of community which has adapted

specific traditions, a language, lifestyle, that they have owned for a longer time.

Shirley Zhang

In this book, cultural honour means a group of people live in a certain community will be affected by their own families, for example their ancestors.

It is like what the book tells about the fightinf of Howard family and Turners family for a century in Harland. There is a sentence, " Die like a man, like your brother did!" which is from Will Turner's mother when Will was shot by the gunfire and straggered, after his mother shouted to him, he died silently.

This chapter proves that there is a connection between people's action, tradations and attitudes according to their ancestors.

Cultural Honour means people respect to each others culture which is totally different, and also can be affective to each others. World is like a tree, all the country was growing in the same seed, as time goes on, the branch emerge. No matter how long for those different branch, we still on the same tree, we can't live without anyone.

I think that culture is from my ancestors.

They worked really hard to make what we are today. When a family is speaking a particular language for a very long time

i think it is a part of the culture. Even the tradition

and the place they live in.

Sabrina Zhang

Cultural Honour means every different country has different cultural, and affect other countries,

it is a kind of glory for their own country

Jack Gu

2013-05-14 13:18:04 UTC

in my opinion, Culture Honour is that people respect their own culture and their history.

Angela Lee

2013-05-14 13:18:11 UTC

I think cultural honor means a lot to our lives.

It is like our own spirit to our community.

Kyusik

2013-05-14 13:18:13 UTC

I think that cultural honour is

people avoid internetional offence to others.

Edi Sun

2013-05-14 13:18:37 UTC

To me, cultural honour is

the cultural has the own extraordinary

part and it push this country into the world

Kevin An

2013-05-14 13:19:16 UTC

I think Cultural Honour is the thing make people be proud of their culture, language, people, and country.

Kyusik

2013-05-14 13:26:52 UTC

I agree this quote, but it is depends on what kind of family of thier ancestor before.

Mahassin Atala

2013-05-14 13:26:54 UTC

I completely agree with that quote because people learn how to behave and have certain values according to the place where they live in. It is part of their identity.

Kevin An

2013-05-14 13:27:06 UTC

I agree with the quote, because traditional will be carried on by people.

Charlotte Desmarais

cmdesmarais — 2013-05-14 13:27:08 UTC

I agry with the quote because if you act like someone you will probably start acting like the person. It is normal that if you live like your ancestors you are like your ancestors. I beleive so.

But it also depend on the person. Not every people will be acting like their ancestors.

Angela Lee

2013-05-14 13:27:12 UTC

I agree with that quote because they would follow the way how their ancestors be successful.

Sabrina Zhang

2013-05-14 13:27:28 UTC

Yes, I agree with this quote, I think ancestors affect people a lot, and people would like to imitate their ancestors' act.

TC

2013-05-14 13:28:01 UTC

Groups of people living in

similar circumstances with their ancestors could be influenced by their ancestors, and benifited from their ancestors, but it does not mean that people will act a lot like their ancestors.

Jiayu Han

2013-05-14 13:28:36 UTC

I agree with the quote, I do think culture and ancestors affect people. People born in different counrty and family have different personality.

Jack Gu

2013-05-14 13:28:53 UTC

I agree with this quote. People have some habits which are from their ancestors. They keep it and improve this habits, and they even have the same habits as their ancestors.

Edi Sun

2013-05-14 13:29:02 UTC

I do agree with this quote, cultural can influence people and different cultural can breed different countries people.

I think the author of this book is try to explain the way people how to be sucessful

, and those outliers' life style.

Angela Lee

2013-05-14 13:32:25 UTC

I think this book is talking about success. To tell us how easy and how hard can success be.

Shirley Zhang

2013-05-14 13:32:45 UTC

The main point of this book is to tell the influence of success. So far I read about some people who are intelligent actually did not success at all. However, people who always challenge themselves will be more successful than others.

Jack Gu

2013-05-14 13:33:05 UTC

I found that this book is all about that how to be the best and Mr.Gladwell also teaches us the ways to make ourselves successful. There are a lot of different ways to success. To be successful, is not only just hard-working or talents, it still has some other special ways to achieve.

Kyusik

2013-05-14 13:34:30 UTC

The point of book Outliers, is to become success after finish

TC

2013-05-14 13:35:11 UTC

The book, Outliers, is about success. Essentially, it talks about certain factors of success.

The point of the book is succes. Outliers are

Edi Sun

2013-05-14 13:35:49 UTC

The main idea of this book I think is about the different people can be successed in different ways, and

the author shows us many examples about outliers, to me, outliers are the person who experienced and they

keep holding on until the achieve the goal. Sometimes, it do connected to IQ, but the most important of successed is

chance, society, history, culture and practice.

Charlotte Desmarais

cmdesmarais — 2013-05-14 13:35:59 UTC

The point of the book is the meaning of succes.

Outliers are people who are diffirent.

Some people have IQ very high but they don't have succes.

It help people who read the book to find keys to succed in life.

Mahassin Atala

2013-05-14 13:36:06 UTC

The book is focused on the meaning of success and ways of achieving it. Also, it gives plenty of real life examples that help the reader determine whether the original statement is true or false. Famous, intelligent, talented and other types of people are mentioned to give different perspectives to build up the real purpose of the book.

Jiayu Han

2013-05-14 13:37:55 UTC
