Water..

My life is full of water. I may not realize it, but it affects my decisions and behaviors. What this means is that people are affected by certain things our society offers. One thing in our society may also very much differ from any other society's "water particles". In my life, I am affected by television shows. Our culture consists of many fast pace things that other cultures may not care for. For Example, every week I watch Gossip Girl and I see what they wear and how they act on the show. Even though it's not exactly realistic, it still is a show that is supposed to manipulate the upper east side of New York. To me, I am influenced by the different clothes and styles that are appeared. I tend to think that in the show their styles are what is "in" and what looks good. I also recognize that a show like that can make an "outsider" of our culture become very unaware. An outsider may get in impression that that's what our culture is all about. But for me, television shows can influence my likes in styles.

I am able to maintain my stability as the "water" around me is going around and around. At school we are encouraged to always try our hardest and to succeed later in life. Although, for other cultures they might just be wondering where they may be sleeping at night. I know that school is really hard and can be a lot of work, So I take the initiative by always trying my hardest so that I can get to go to the college I want to go to. This way later in life I may be set more qualified for a specific degree. I adjust by giving into the culture by still staying intact with my own personality and beliefs.

American values can be unique but can also be very simplistic. For me, I try to do what is good for me by keeping my own Individual personality. I find it very important to do the right thing but doing it the right way. I value in keeping true to myself and not worrying what others think. Although, I think it is important to know your limits. Knowing when to adjust to society is important, because going completely of the ordinary is bad. I also value education because it can bring greater things in the future. In order to start a future, you much create your background to back up where you come from. In our culture it is important to keep going. To me, it is important to achieve my potential. In my future, I value my education.
