This week in sociology, we saw pictures of families from countries around the world outside their homes with their most prized possessions. I have traveled a lot in my life so far, Ive been to China, Japan, France, Israel, and I am going to Italy during spring break. I saw a lot on those trips but these pictures reminded me of what we take for granted. Some of these families slept on the ground, and one family even needed a soldier to help guard their possessions for the picture. The differences of these families really showed the technological gap between the United States, and other "western" countries, with the underdeveloped world. The difference in values and beliefs are very evident. I found that lesson to be very enlightening and I think that everyone should try to educate themselves to the culture and lifestyles of other around the world.
