Diversity Event

                 I attended the 2011 Inuit Culture of Northern Canada lecture. The speaker was Peter Irniq who presented the presentation. He spoke of the culture, lifestyles, and related it to his own numerous life experiences. Peter was born in 1947, and was delivered in an igloo in the heart of winter. Which hearing some one born in igloo now days either means they are usually really really old or from not around here. Through out the presentation he spoke about how hard the living conditions were through out the years. The biggest point that he made this known was by stating his family. His parents gave life to 5 children but only him and one sister were able to make it through.

                 The Inuit people lived off the land. Hunting and fishing were the food source for the entire village. They build dams to trap large schools of fish which were the largest source of food. Other animals used as a food sources were caribou and bears, but were considered a delicacy to the Inuit culture.

                 At a young age all the children were stripped of their Inuit culture and taken to board schools by the Canadian government. Where they were beaten and treated unfairly when referring to their native culture. Mr. Irniq was able to stay true to his culture and practice the native langue in secrecy to keep from getting caught. He now visits his original village to share and striving to restore the Inuit culture.

Social Media

            For the social media project I chose use facebook to ask a series of questions. Prior to actually starting this assignment I thought that the like button for a company was just to show interest and usually not attending the page again. I didn’t think that if I posted a question on the page that I would get a response  back from anyone. But I was latter surprised when I started to accumulate comments on my post.

            I am an introvert so I don’t like to really socialize. So I found this to be more of my liking that having to use twitter or the other choices where you share your like or stories with others. By using facebook it was easy to communicate and ask the business question. You didn’t have to communicate face to face, or hope for someone to pick up the phone. You could have a conversation at both of our convinces.

            I think the knowledge I have gained through this assignment will benefit me in the future when I need information for writing a paper or anything in general. I found out that facebook can be used for more than just chatting with friends. It can be used for more than anyone would think.

What I learned about myself (MBTI)

After looking at the results from the test, I agree with what it showed. ISTF states that I am a duty fulfiler. It shows how I interact with society and process information. I found it interesting to learn about why I do the things that I do.
 I- The test shows that I am not a very social person in public. I like to keep to my self, and only talk when needed to answer a question. I also find it very hard to carry a conversation, and I also feel uncomfortable in a large group.
S and T -Sensing problems and looking out for future concerns while solving the problem is what S stands for. I like to do things right the first time so there is no need to go back and solve the problem again. Also ties in with T-thinking I like to take the time to think about a problem and gather information.When solving a problem I like to set up an approach and plan out how I want to do a task. I never want to stop in the middle of anything, I always have to finish what I start no matter how late it is. I also I to stay very organized.
J-Shows that I like to use alot of logic to establish an approach. Always thinking about what can go wrong and trying to prevent it from happening.
