Artifact 5: Last but not least is module four. During this artifact, we compared two different cities. The main point was to compare and contrast the two five value dimensions throughout each of these two cultures. I learned that power distance is the acceptance of inequality throughout people and their power. This was very low in the United States. I totally agree because someone is always fighting for equality for something inside this country. I learned that the masculinity was higher in the United States than in South Korea. Overall, the United States and South Korea were different, some enormous differences and some slight differences throughout the five value dimensions. This picture shows the differences between these two countries throughout the five value dimensions.

Artifact 4: The next artifact I have chosen out of the five artifacts is module eight. During this artifact, we discussed personality and culture.  More specifically, this artifact discusses how behaviors and personalities may not match.  I learned that some times things may seem one way through my behaviors, while my thoughts, feelings, and personality do not show it very well. On the other hand, I learned that my culture, values, and beliefs may control my behavior and personality. The things I do and my personality are held by what I was taught to do, things this society has influenced me to do, or my culture has passed down to me. This picture is the different behaviors I may experience but does not technically match up with what my personality holds.

Artifact 3: The third artifact I have chosen out of the five is module ten. This artifact was about time and culture. Discussing the influences culture has on-time throughout different culture and different people. I learned what patience I have for different people. I did not really understand why I did not have some patience for others. I did learn that the beliefs and values of my culture about respect definitely influenced the patience and time I would give towards my parents. I have no choice but to wait for them. They are the head of everything they conduct the rules and what we are doing. On the other hand, I do not have the patience for anything else. This society believes in being on time and being late is disrespectful. This belief that society has held has been placed on me and forced upon my beliefs.  This picture is a picture of me FaceTiming my best friend while she is getting ready before I meet her. I have plenty of patience for her only because I know that she takes forever or I will just leave her. This is a picture of my mom, dad, and I. This picture shows some difference in what we believe. My mom does not believe in piercings and I have three.

Artifact 2: The next artifact I have chosen is module five. During this activity, we learned what enculturation is. We learned how society and cultural values in the community has a hold on peoples choices and their own values. Most importantly, this module was about how parenting behaviors, beliefs, and values have an influence on their children behaviors, beliefs, and values.  This activity taught me what influences my parents have had on beliefs, values, and behaviors throughout my life. However, it also showed me what things they did not influence and things I have my own opinion and mind of my own on the situations. I learned that maybe the things my parents experienced in the past and during their generation are different from my own experiences. This could be the reason why we have different values and beliefs.

Artifact 1: Out of the top five artifacts I believed I was most engaged in, I chose module thirteen artifact as my favorite. This is my favorite artifact because it gave me a challenge on what I really believe. I asked around to understand both viewpoints from different people. It was also my favorite because I realized how much I have changed and grown into an adult. During this activity, I learned that things change throughout your life. The importance of certain people and certain relationships change.  I also learned that health has everything to do with well-being. It can help positively in so many ways. Last but not least, I learned what makes me happy now is way different than what has made me happy in the past. In this picture, I just started working out a month ago due to my good grades and my life going the way I wanted it to go.
