 BARNGA-Reflect on the card game we played in class.

•If you could describe the game in one word, what would it be?                               difficult

•What did you expect at the beginning of the game?     A challenge

•When did you realize that something was wrong?         Next game

•How did you deal with it?          Just played how I felt

•How did not being able to speak contribute to what you were feeling?                                Made it more interesting and irritating

• Is my title above appropriate for the game of "culture."  Why or why not?        Yes, it is quite the bargnga for such a game

• Is a universal language and set of customs necessary for world peace and harmony?   You learn to adapt to other peoples customs and how they are

• What can a simple card game teach us about our culture?         That we all like to use our same culture and tradition doing everything.

Well I was reading this article on bacha bazi. It was pretty messed up, it was about how for years in the afganistan culture they would take children and rape them. They had said that it was literally called boy play.  That wasn’t wrong enough I guess so then the American soldiers were told they had to look the other way so they couldn’t do anything about it. One person that couldn’t take it anymore was dan Quinn who used to be a special forces captain, he beat up an American-backed militia commander for having a boy chained to his bed for a sex slave.

Some of the sociological aspects from this like are how you get some of the images from it and what they were doing  to the children. Some of the other things are like the mindfulness of the situation. Put yourself in the child’s shoes or in his parents shoe’s on whats happening to him. Just imagine what is all happening to those children and how they are to young for these kind of things and that they shouldn’t be doing this anymore and that they should try to get the children out of this so they don’t have to suffer from it anymore. The mindfulness too. People should have some mindfulness of this and whats all happening.

Dear aunt,

 

Well today we have been hanging around and jack is still being a tool. He always wants to be the leader but hes not good at all at that.

Ralph he is so smart and knows about everything he is doing and he is a great leader. He had helped us make fire and we got it going right at night and when it was going all of a sudden a bunch of beasts started to come out of the trees and it really frieghtened all of us. Also, a bunch of creepers started to appear also.

Simon he is very smart guy and knows how to do a lot of things.

We had found this thing by the shore I looked like a shell so I went and picked it up. It was a conch! It was amazing, but then I tried to blow in it and I couldn’t do it because of my azma, so I gave it to ralph and let him use it. Everytime we blew the conch there seemed to be people that would come out of the trees.

We had made fire and that was the best thing ever to have out there because it kept us warm and it gave us light. But the fire had exposed us to the beasts and the creepers, but the next day in the light it was all gone. the light had almost seemed to attract everything thing we didn't want to come, but there wasn't anything we could do about it, but just lay there and live with it.

The beasts were some really scary snake looking things in the trees that had seemed to like come down and come toward us but nothing was coing toward us. The next day it seemed that the snakes or the beasts were actually vines hanging from the trees.

The creepers were little things on the ground coming toward us from what it looked like and they were really scary. But the next day in the light it seemed that the creepers were actually undergrowth.

Now none of us are getting along and are trying to use the people that come out of the trees. We are sorting them out into our groups by how we like them and whos party they choose to join. Now our little groups are to see if we can make our own ways to do things.

Today in this blog I will be talking about what we have learned and what we have to do on this blog. We need to talk about how we can use macrosociological and microsociological. Micro is for social interaction and how we can talk to people socially. Macro is study of larger scale objects such as a city.

Micro is social interaction. Such as when you talk to people and learn many things. You learn more things from talking to people or seeing how they do it in person which is all social interaction. And you can learn how to do certain things that you could never teach yourself how to do. Such as working on cars and other things like that it makes it easier to learn when you ask someone how to do it or have them show you what to do.

Macro is larger scale like the city. You learn some things from the city but not as much as you can learn from small towns. Small towns will let you learn more and how to do mre because people will know you and know how you learn. And when you can live in a city you learn more about what you do for more  higher end jobs

I agree with how the guy was talking about how we take things from other countries and make them poor but then other countries will do the same thing back to us. Our country had been a very forceful country and it has done a lot of good and helped a few people out to. We have one our share of the wars but we also lost our fair share.

                I have done a lot of things for this country, but I havn’t done as much as most people. When you go ahead and atleast try it you can easily gain some ones trust or what ever just so you have someone that would do it easily.

                I believe that when someone has an initative to do so they can do anything for anybody. Such as if you wanted to you could change the world or atleast make a difference or even atleast make a difference in someones life or day.

                I see myself fitting into the big picture of society by fixing things fro people and just helping people when they need it.

                I am agreeing fully with that video we had watched and read that paragraph and learned some of the things I can do for people to help them out. Or how to make someones day. Such as that man that walked up to the kid and asked what he was doing when he was making the starfishes day. And keeping the animals happy by saving there lives so they didn’t die. And the old man finally realized what he could maybe do. There are a lot of things you can do to help inspire people to do nice things and help make people happy.

                All in all I am fully agreeing with everything we watched and read on here.
