A little bit about me... My name is Morgan Mahler and I am a freshman at the University of Texas. I am from the suburbs of Chicago Illinois. Currently my major is undeclared, but I am hoping to transfer into the nursing program here at UT after this semester. One of my hobbies outside of school is figure skating which I have participated in my whole life and at one point competed in. On top of that I am obsessed with my dog Rocky who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and is the cutest thing. Growing up in a house that only speaks english and a town that is not very culturally diverse, I am really looking forward to this class and broadening my perspective of how to interact with those with different backgrounds than I do. I think the skills learned in this class will be very applicable to my life as I really do enjoy traveling and I can apply this new knowledge when visiting new and foreign places.]]> 2017-01-19 15:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/148121616 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/148175711 2017-01-19 17:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/148175711 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488737 2017-02-16 23:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488737 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488791 2017-02-16 23:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488791 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488852 2017-02-16 23:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488852 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488904 2017-02-16 23:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488904 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488954 2017-02-16 23:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154488954 mmahler1997 https://padlet.com/mmahler1997/mahler/wish/154489037 This article is about a mother who under President Trumps new immigration laws faces the dilemma that she may be deported yet her children will be allowed to stay here. This is an example of the United States univerasalist mindset as they are just thinking about authority and rules of the law and not the emotional factors that play into the law.

It shows a long line with a man trying to skip the line by saying that his father is the person in charge of the lines boss.

Instead of fighting to the death to save their own individual lives, they decide to take an extreme measure and eat toxic berries because one cannot bear to live and survive knowing they killed the other one.

I lived in this village for 3 weeks and in class when we were talking about community the first thing that I thought of were the people in this town. In this town the people all grow their own crops and each play a role in the society as they are self sufficient and help eachother live a prosperous life.

This comeback was ruined when the kicker missed the field goal kick. This is representative of a Diffuse society as not just the kicker was punished for missing the kick, but instead the whole team suffered the loss together.

In the picture depicting the US you see someone leaving work and saying bye to one another. In a Specific society like the US work and personal relations are kept separate.

The Caste system is one which you are born into and it determines the life in which you will live. You don't earn your position in society it is one which you are given at birth. A trait of an ascribed society the Caste system has created is a one of false superiority which is a cause of the great divide in the quality of life between those at the top and those at the bottom.
