BAD JOB INTERVIEW

A bad job Interview:


In a bad Job interview I have noitce in the video i watch that the person brought his dog, wore a jogging suite and did not care of the dress codes, brush his hair, chew and blew a bubble gum, ate in front of the interviewer and walk out of the office in the middle of the interview. Those are the things people should not do in a interview because it is bad to conduct that way in front of people who interview you for a job position.

David berreby, It Takes a Tribe

Professor Richerson talk alots about how we  want to live in a tribe to finally find a "us" but explain that if we find a "us" we also find a "them". he present to us, how humans are looking to be told what group they belong to and after that they will know what to do then figure out the rules of their surrounding. In a way, it is true because we learn what are surroundings are and react toward them in order to be seem as normal and interact with our society. And in a lot of ways we do make "TRIBE" in other reasons to be part of something important to us.

Tattoos

Tattoos

What is the theme?
What symbols?
What do they mean?
Are tattoos an effective way to convey your identity? 
Why or why not?

In this reading tattoos and september 11th are the theme. And some of the symbols are the twin towers, flag, hands, and words. to me it means what happened to the twin towers during the time period the crash happened, freedom to be different, patriotism and maybe religion. Well, it depends because some tattoos are made to have a meaning and other are just there because they wanted too. however, one example is the man who had the tattoo of the september 11th on his harm and that had a meaning and i think he wanted them to be remebered.

       Well, in the project Identity i made my collage about what made the person I am today and it had picture of my familly, friends and drawing i did when i was in High school. Each picture had a specific size and colors and i had to words tjhat are meaningfull to me. However, i had to add more picture than i first started my project and i changed the background compared to the first draft and i added words that were important to me. Finally it came out a lot better than I expected because it was the first time that i have done a glogster collage.
