Swimming In Water

Water is all around us, we live in a world were we become influenced by different behaviors. Our culture has became obesessed with technology. We are constantly tuned into the latest news, gossip, and tv shows using technology. Now, we are able to record tv shows if we wont have time to watch them the day of and play them back whenever we want. Cell phones help us communicate with other people and its a device that we have become attached to. There are tv shows that we watch were characters influence us and it affects our behaviors. I watch the show "90210" everyweek and yes, i admit, I tivo it. 90210 plugs me into the latest styles of what the girls are wearing and the behaviors of characters sometimes influence me. My cell phone helps me stay connected with my friends and without it i think i would be lost. Our culture has become so tech savy that we depend on it too much that we dont do anything for ourselves anymore.


To behaviorally adjust to the cultural forces that are going around I change my behavior by shifting my personality. I cannot be anymore optimistic to cultural forces than i already am. I always stay open minded throughout and never think of the negatives. I stay true to my beliefs about everything. Being a senior in high school has made me experience this, I always think of the positives and try the hardest i can in everything i do. I know later it will pay off when i achieve and success in the things i do later in life.


The two American Values that I embrace are Achievement and Success and Education. I believe that to succeed in life is a great thing, education helps pursure your success in life. To be educated you are able to have many opportunities to achieve in various things. I adjust to both of these by working hard to strive for what i want. For example, i know that in order to get into the college i want to be in i have to work hard, do good and in the long run i will achieve. To adjust values to find my own happiness I make sure that I am doing what is best for me and that will do good for me later on in life. To achieve is to succeed, and with education you can achieve greater success in life.
