Class Post 10

Today’s class we learned about the types of communities we associate with. Some of us with clubs, friends and family, hobbies, etc. There are an endless amount of communities as you can tell. We also briefly discussed how hard it is to break a habit and how we can search for a resolution. Examples from class: stop consumption of junk food, drinking soda, sleeping late.

We also momentarily talked about the book Bikesnobnyc, written by Eben Weiss. The gist of what he wrote about was the different types types of bike communities and their relations with each other. Was quite a humorous, a book I’d recommend.

We also spent an amount of time practicing interviews with each other; my interviewee QiQi, describes how she has adapted to her move to the U.S. She compares how both worlds cultures and communities are different in so many ways, and how she as a person has to assimilate to this new community.

Communities are practically essential in our lives, as it gives us an opportunity to connect with another person and feel a sense of belongingness.
