After reading Simmel’s article I began to realize that in my private and public life I could see the stranger. In school we form groups, but prior to that no one knows each other so we all started off as strangers. When told to form a group we all had a common goal which is to do group assignments for good grade. Everybody in the group feels like their close to me, but they are indeed far still. We got together because of a common goal without it we would not be building a relationship or interacted. We are all still far away from each other due to not fully getting to know each other. At any point any group member can leave the group or after the class we all go separate ways, because we are not tied down into being in the group. It is a temporary

In the Essay “Marine Parks”, written by Bill daily, tries to argue and convince the audience that keeping marine parks open in Australia is bad thing to do. Marine captivity has been a heated debate for the past couple of decades with such corporations as sea world coming into fire. Bill daily provides examples and ideas to support his claim. He states that marine parks are an unnecessary attraction hotspot due to the fact that captivity is bad, that there is more places to see marine life than an attraction place, and that by going to see marine life in nature, it will be cheaper than seeing it a park.

Many theme parks in the United States are popular attractions. Some parks like Disney World, Six Flags or Holiday World. My favorite that I’ve been to so far is Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Universal is a theme park all about movies and everything is themed about movies. Rides are named after a marvel character or a movie like Minions. All their merchandise is themed depending on which park you are in. Before I left the park, I bought a Gryffindor mug. Parks like the Harry Potter themed one and the Dr. Seuss park go full blown with having every inch being covered in that particular design. The parks may not have rides like Six Flags or Disney World, but it has many different attractions that do make it worth the time and money.

The example of when I joined a new group would have to be the first time I went to my girlfriend’s family get together. Having only met her mom prior to this family function I had small generalized idea of what their culture might be like. Culture to me is commons beliefs that a group of people share whether it be family, or entire races of people. At this family function I was going to meet most of the rest of her family. From my experience my family functions are usually casual and there is always someone who had too much to drink. So not knowing anything about my girlfriend’s family’s culture I had to come up with my own idea of what might happen based on my experience with my family. With the

face. Coordinating numerous individuals, each with their own sets of preferences, objections, and requirements is not a simple task. A domain in which this problem clearly presents itself is in the theme park/amusement park industry. Parks like Universal Studios and Disney World attract more and more guests every year which obviously creates longer and longer waiting times for attractions.
