Monday 11-12 : lather rinse repeat

Hello everyone; howdy, howdy, howdy!!!

Culture is determined by patterns. Patterns are based on repetitions; acts that are done over and over again. As we've seen, with individuals, those patterns are called habits, while with groups of people they are called customs. Customs are grouped together to become what is called "culture"

Habits can be observed in any number of ways. For example, we've just come through a big Presidential election. Every four years, there are speeches, primaries, conventions, debates and voting

For another example: Christians generally attend church on Sundays; Jews on Saturday. Muslims are called to prayer five times a day. Those are all patterns

Here's a third example, one of my own: in America, we have entered the "eating drinking and spending a lot" time of year. It starts with Halloween,  goes through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Super Bowl Sunday Valentines and St. Patrick's Day

So here's what I want you to do:

A) Pick out at least 11 patterns that can be observed in your culture

B) For each one of these, use at least one complete sentence to describe what it is that's happening and when it happens

C) Also for each one of these, use at least one complete sentence to describe how often it happens


D) Also for each one of these, use at least one complete sentence to describe where it came from. How did it begin?


Each of you is responsible for sending me this information by email with your name and the word "patterns" in the subject line. Your answers must be listed as specified in the main body of the email

cheers,
Mr. L
