Explain why you think this might be. Think about why calling your "dwelling" a home would be changed for sameness in this community. en-us 2017-10-19 12:59:03 UTC 2017-10-23 13:56:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199038564 They might refer to their houses as dwellings because they are not taught to call it anything else. calling your dwelling a home would be changed so that people wouldn't be upset if it was destroyed and the community could just give them a new one like they do with everything else that they lose in the community]]> 2017-10-20 13:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199038564 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039407 They may refer to their houses as dwellings because when they are younger, they probably were only taught to call it a dwelling and not a home so that people didn't have the choice to call it a home or dwelling and they stuck with one name to keep it similar. When you call your house a home, it creates sentimental value. According to previous chapters, they don't like people getting attached to things. ]]> 2017-10-20 13:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039407 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039464 They likely call their home their dwelling because they shouldn't have sentimental attachment to anything, unless they are a newchild and it is their comfort object, which is eventually taken away from them.]]> 2017-10-20 13:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039464 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039468 They most likely call there homes dwellings because they are taught to call it that. Calling your dwelling a home would be changed for sameness in the community because if everyone called there home something different there wouldn't be sameness in the community.  ]]> 2017-10-20 13:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039468 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039598 They might refer to their house as a "dwelling" because they don't know any better and they were probably raised that way. Calling my "dwelling" a home would be changed for sameness in this community because not many people in the community say home, they only know it as a place they live in. Nothing special about it when it's just a "dwelling," also if you called it a home, some people would be confused.

Maybe the word dwelling sounds better and more professional. They might see the house only as a residence, not a house that they have worked for, but instead a residence that had been given to them. The house itself might not even be theirs. Maybe the community is really old, maybe it existed in the 1800s, when the word dwelling was very popular, or they might still be living with the culture of the 1800s.]]> 2017-10-20 13:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039601 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039681 I think that they refer to their house as a dwelling because that is where they live. Also, they might be given a house instead of having to buy one for their family unit. Lastly they might have been taught that a dwelling is where they will live their life. If one person called it a home, and another called it a dwelling, that would break the sameness barrier and it could confuse people.]]> 2017-10-20 13:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199039681 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040033 I think they might call their house a dwelling because they don't know any other name to call it because that is all it has ever been called.also,they might be given their house so it is technically not their house so that is why they call it a dwelling.]]> 2017-10-20 13:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040033 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040057   In our society, a home is thought to be a private property, or something privately owned by an individual. This has caused a lot of conflict in the U.S. in terms of trespassing and expenses.   This probably why they changed it to "dwelling".   A dwelling is only a place where someone lives.  There isn't really an indication that it should be privately owned.  All houses are probably assigned to families and supervised by the government.  This increases the unity of the community and enforces sameness.]]> 2017-10-20 13:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040057 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040069 I think they call it a dwelling because they grew up learning it that way because all the other generations passed it down. It is also a higher vocabulary word than home and the community wants them to be smarter and use the best words they can. They also didn't have to work for their home so it is more of their living space then something they bought. Some people calling it a house and other people calling it a dwelling would confuse people because they wouldn't know what is it and they are no longer saying the same word.]]> 2017-10-20 13:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040069 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040143 So they don't feel like its nearly their home it's their family units and they know it only for a certain amount of time.]]> 2017-10-20 13:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040143 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040562 I think that it is called the dwelling because they want the children to feel that the community is their home and that they feel supported by everyone as a community ]]> 2017-10-20 13:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199040562 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199041257 I think that they refer to their house as a dwelling because it's somewhere they live. One more reason is they could just not no any better so they just call where they live a dwelling. Another reason could be they might not have to pay for houses, but may be given homes for each family unit. ]]> 2017-10-20 13:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199041257 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199041837 I think they call it a "dwelling" because it is another word for a house. They might do this because they have been taught to do this and call it that and have gotten used to that being the name for a home. Also, they will be moved to a different "dwelling" when they grow and and are matched with their spouse.]]> 2017-10-20 13:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199041837 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199042362 I think they call it a dwelling because if they call it a home you might get attached to it and won't want to leave. This might cause some people to live in their parents house longer than others. This would make them different so they call it a dwelling so they can all stay the same.]]> 2017-10-20 13:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199042362 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199042548 They call it this because they do not stay there for very long so they call it a dwelling. Also if it is a dwelling then it makes it harder to brag about, like "my dwelling is better than yours," doesn't sound so good. Therefor, calling it a dwelling keeps the sameness and peace in the community.]]> 2017-10-20 13:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199042548 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199219572 They only refer to it as a dwelling because the community doesn't want the people to get attached to it.  Also, their "dwelling" does change so not being attached to the "dwelling would make moving out easier, and if they had to evacuate for some reason, they would just leave instead of saying something like "I've lived here all my life and I'm not abandoning it because of some stupid -insert natural disaster- so leave me alone!".]]> 2017-10-20 21:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/vp8yeq2uph1t/wish/199219572
