My Family Culture

The three items that I would take with my as we evacuated would be a Bible, Photo Album, and an I pad 2. All of these items are significant to me because they represent a part of who I am as an individual, who I am as a family member, and who I am to the world. The bible has been a source of strength, and comfort for our family for many generations. The photo album visually represents who we are as family members and contains a collection of past and present members. The photo album also collectively represents our family history as a people our traditions and rich heritage. This might serve as a shocker but the I pad 2 allows me to connect to the world globally and I believe this would be imperative to communicate and research through social medias to stay abreast to current events and the like.This item is a representation of my generation, and apart of pop culutre. Upon my arrival if I were told that I could NOT bring all of the items I would be disappointed but I would take what I was permitted to bring and make the most of it. The item that I would bring would be the I Pad 2. This would hold all photos, as well as a bible. My only concern would be power sources, and considering that I would probably bring a photo album. As I completed this assignment I asked my mother what she would bring and her results were reflective of her age as well as the culture of her time as a young child. When I shared with her that I would bring an Ipad2 she thought that was the most ridiculous idea ever. Today’s culture has changed and evolved with current trends and what I value and deem as important someone from a different generation but the same culture may not value the same things I do. This assignment caused me to reflect upon what is really dear to me, and how diverse we are within specific cultures.
