Culture

To me culture is a societie's art, traditions, habits that are passed down and even the the way someone speaks.
     What makes up a person's culture is the environment that they grow up in. The influences they're subjected to plays a major role in shaping them. This summer I went to Jamaica on a mission trip where I got a good look at their culture. Their culture is much more open and friendly and one shows alot of hospitality, but at the same time teenage girls will get courted by older men and then get pregnant and have to raise the child alone. Then the cycle continues once a girl hits a certain age it's just expected for her to do those things and for the guys to join gangs and smoke weed.
     Culture is deffinetly extrinsic because if you take a child from china and have an American family adopt them as a baby then that child will reflect the culture in which I grew up, not the one that they were born in to.

The Runaway

Facts:
- The boy's shirt is yellow.
- Speghetti and meatballs is a special.
- There is a police officer.

Claims:
- The boy is a runaway.
- The police officer is talking to him about how he's a runaway.
- They are in a 50's diner.

Analytical Claim:
 To me this picture shows simplicity. I got this from several things in a picture first of all is the fact that it's a 50's diner, and the 50's always reminded me of a simpler time. Another reason is that the possessions that the boy decided to prong with him could easily fit in a tiny rucksack which explains how much less people consider necessities. Another reason is that the police officer actually took the time to sit and chat with the boy and the cook which probably wouldn't happen now a days because of the feeling of always having to finish quickly, but since he is it makes the picture have a calmer more mellow feeling.
