Some of the ideas that we learned about this week were about how things can change drastically over a very short amount of time. Such as when we watched the two different videos, one of the 1930’s and the other the 1950’s era, and how they had come to differ so much from each other in just twenty years. I really thought that i understood a lot about this week's topics because i have pretty decent knowledge on both of those time periods and what happened and how people changed from those experiences. I would say that my participation this week would be a ten if we were grading it on a scale to 1-10 because i followed along whenever we were doing something and i always gave my input on a subject when asked. I also did a lot of work with my group to come up with answers. I think that i would need to work on paying attention a little bit more to the subjects we talk about.
