David Quirarte by https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303 UGS 303 Cultural Issues With Latin America en-us 2017-01-19 00:09:38 UTC 2025-11-14 11:57:26 UTC hello@padlet.com David's Bio quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/147977471 I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, which has allowed me to be surrounded by Latin culture making this class very relevant and helpful in my life. I was raised in a Hispanic/American household as my father was raised in Mexico and my mom was raised in the United States. I have played ice hockey for most of my life and now I play for the University of Texas Ice Hockey club team.  I am currently a freshman in the McCombs School of Business, and at the moment I am not sure what I want to major in but I am leaning towards Finance and International Business. I look forward to learning about the different cultures throughout North America. I hope I gain a greater insight towards the Latin culture and gain experience dealing with different cultures in an effort to assist me in the business realm. ]]> 2017-01-19 00:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/147977471 Particularism example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154497443 This picture demonstrates Particularism this person clearly does not care for the law. This person got his motorcycle stolen and all he wants is to get it back. He will not ask any questions of how you found his/her bike and is even offering a reward for his bike. He will not go to the police or prosecute and simply wants to have his bike back. ]]> 2017-02-17 01:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154497443 Particularism Example 2 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154497804 This picture is an example of Particularism. I believe this is because it shows that there is not one type of Coca-Cola and that throughout the world many countries might have different forms. These different forms may look different and even taste different. This also demonstrates particularism because each coke is unique to its country and it may be oriented to people with specific tastes. ]]> 2017-02-17 01:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154497804 Example of Universalism 1 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154498109 This picture demonstrates Universalism because it is clear that The University of Texas at Austin is trying to impose a rule on the faculty, students and those walking through campus. Administration clearly does not want anyone using any form of tobacco on campus whether it’s through smoking or chewing tobacco. This law also applies to all people on campus and there are no exceptions. The administration clearly believes this a the best and most efficient way to represent University of Texas at Austin. ]]> 2017-02-17 01:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154498109 Example of Universalism 2 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154498425 This speed limit sign is an example of Universalism. I believe this is because it is a rule/law that has been created by the government that applies to all people no matter who you are. This law is in place to hopefully save lives and ultimately it treats all people the same.]]> 2017-02-17 01:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/154498425 Individualism Example 1 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/155941864 This is an example of individualism. I believe this is because it demonstrates a child marching for something she believes in. Individualism allows for not only opinions but counter opinions and this child is protesting for what she truly believe in. ]]> 2017-02-24 02:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/155941864 Individualism Example 2 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/155942030 This picture is an example of individualism. I believe this is because it shows a character floating on the water while the others are stuck in the water. The character decided to go at the problem alone without helping the others in the scene. He would rather make sure he is okay over helping the others in need. ]]> 2017-02-24 02:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/155942030 Community Example 1 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/155942194 This picture is an example of Community. This is because it demonstrates that the society as a whole is more important than a single person. It truly embodies a Community point of view because it is putting others before oneself and there is an incentive for family and a formation of society.

This is because it shows that when there is a community of people trying to solve a problem many times there are more opinions and a problem may be solved much quicker. This is shown through the picture because the thought bubble is much bigger coming from the group of people than the single person. This also demonstrates community because it encourages coordination amongst people. ]]> 2017-02-24 02:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/155942316 Specific Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157467945 This photo of a police officer is an example of specific. This is because officers have to separate their work life and personal life in order to do their job efficiently. If a police officer does not separate both it can cause harm to others and even the police officer. ]]> 2017-03-02 20:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157467945 Specific Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157531680 This photo of an accountant is an example of a specific style of job. This is because accountants generally search for answers through thorough analysis of numbers.  They have a specific set of equations and rules they must follow in order to do an adequate job.   ]]> 2017-03-03 04:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157531680 Diffuse Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157531722 This cartoon is an example of an exaggeration of diffuse. I believe this is because it demonstrates a rejection of an outside idea or thing. The hand is clearly preventing the person, who may represent an idea, from reaching a specific destination.]]> 2017-03-03 04:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157531722 Specific vs. Diffuse quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157531756 This cartoon is an example of specific vs. diffuse. It demonstrates how in the U.S. many people keep their professional life and personal life separate, which is an example of a specific lifestyle. On the other hand, it demonstrates that many people in Japan actually mix both personal and professional life together. This would be an example of a diffuse lifestyle.]]> 2017-03-03 04:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/157531756 Achievement Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162229428 The American dream is an example of achievement because in a way it celebrates and awards excellence. It also was a strong belief that anyone could become successful in America as long as someone puts in effort and is persistent.]]> 2017-03-23 18:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162229428 Achievement Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162230193 A college degree is an example of achievement. This is because the degree signifies excellence in the means of education and one is being awarded for this achievement. The degree also allows a person to advance in society.]]> 2017-03-23 18:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162230193 Ascribed Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162230713 Lebron James’ son is an example of Ascribed. This is because as the child grows older and continued to excel at basketball he will most likely feel as if he has to live up to his father. This will be a challenge he will face for his whole basketball career as people are comparing him to his father and expecting greatness from Lebron’s son.]]> 2017-03-23 18:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162230713 Ascribed Example quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162231184 The rich kids of Instagram are examples of an exaggeration of ascribed. This is because they are born into wealth and many of them have done nothing to achieve their wealth and status. Their wealth allows them to believe that they are superior to other.]]> 2017-03-23 18:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162231184 1957 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162232031 2017-03-23 18:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/162232031 Inner Example 1 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163811212 This picture is an example of an inner direction because it talks about following one’s conscience. Inner direction leads a person to follow their conscience no matter the issue at hand. ]]> 2017-03-30 19:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163811212 Inner Example 2 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163811584 This picture is an example of an inner direction. This is because in The Hunger Games the strongest survive. The characters must fight one another in nature in an effort to be the last person alive, ultimately winning the game. In the movie it seems that the weakest die first and the strongest survive. ]]> 2017-03-30 19:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163811584 Outer Example 1 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163811924 Frank Reynolds, a character on the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an example of outer direction. This is because he is the type of person to accept nature instead of trying to change it. He often goes with whatever happens and adapts to the situation. 
 
]]> 2017-03-30 19:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163811924 Outer Example 2 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163812243 All people in the armed services are examples of outer direction. This is because they are potentially laying down their lives for the benefit of the United States. They often must sacrifice themselves for the betterment of their unit and or country. ]]> 2017-03-30 19:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/163812243 Synchronous Time quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/165254244 The movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is an example of synchronous time. This is because the main character, Ferris Bueller, does whatever he wants. He doesn’t live his life with a schedule but rather goes with the flow and lives his life in the here and now.

This is because in the workplace there often times are deadlines that one must meet. These deadlines are often solidified and cannot be moved no matter the case and the deadline must be met. ]]> 2017-04-06 19:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/165254594 Sequential Time 2 quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/165255052 College students are examples for sequential time. This is because many college students have exams, assignments, and projects that have strict deadlines that must be met. This often causes much stress due to the amount of work that must be accomplished.]]> 2017-04-06 19:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/165255052 Synchronous vs. Sequential Time quirartedavid22 https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/165255260 This cartoon is an example of sequential vs. synchronous time. The picture on the left demonstrates sequential time because it is talking about getting a project done by a very specific deadline. The picture on the right demonstrates synchronous time because it demonstrates a very relaxed mindset where an important task could be put off to a later time. ]]> 2017-04-06 19:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/quirartedavid22/Quirarteugs303/wish/165255260
