Assay challenge N3. Finding societies characters. If heroes and role models reveal a society's highest ideals, is the best way to understand the character of a society, to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its role models? At this time society is very complex, groups of people can be differentiated by age, gender, culture and religion and they could have different role models that reveal its highest ideal. CHaracterizing this society it will be not easy. But reduced people's groups could be characterized by its role models. Some years ago or in small groups of people one way to understand its social ideals and character is through his heroes or role models. For example the ancient Aztecs, and in other cultures as well, heroes were warriors who defeat dark entities, so it could be assumed by this and some historical descriptions, that, warriors were venerated and wars promoted. Also, it is could be assumed that Mexicans are submissived because its principal deity is a God who forgives all. However, complex societies are open to others views, so the societies character is not related with heroes but objectives. For example in cosmopolitan cities, like new york, there are a lot of different heroes or role models that maybe the ideals aren't interchangeable like ideas from different religions. Despite their differences, people who live there come from or has family who comes from another place, where they had not opportunities. So the character of this community is an always look for the better. In conclusión, the human is ever looking for the best, society will use heroes to find it or will look for ways to find it, like moving to find a better place. Thay ways will describe the character of society.

Assay challenge 2-30. Lernign from other points of view. Can we learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own? Normally we learn the more when we buttress our beliefs, normally that happens when we confront our ideas with others. Sharing our ideas whit people alike to us, is ever, constructive. The ideas flow in a sole direction, that makes learning faster. This is the reason people who share the same ideas come close and made studying groups. They learn the same way and there are no external challenges. Also when we try to learn with people with a different view, we get closed and do not take other ideas and we do not change them. Like a lot of people in history that do not believe in the Einstein theory of relativity. We do that in everyday life, we are usually not open to other views. Therefore history has shown us that learning from peoples who contradict our own views is more a law rather than a rule. In this learning process, people must be well prepared to defend their views. In other words, they must see the pros and cons of the views, in this process of seeing we learn, we become aware the weakness of the views and we can accept changes in them if the facts show us other reality. That is the reason people invented debates, around the world debates are presented every day to share confronting views and in this process valuable kwnoledge is created. Also it is the reazon teachers sometimes teach you by correcting your mistakes (you personal view of something). Learning could be difficult if we dont share the same view, it is not as faster, but when we open our mind to other different views, we could be aware of the weakeness and strenghts of our personal view, in this sense lerning is more significant.

My chellenge assay 1-30: Success Can true success be measured primarily in terms of the goals one sets for oneself? Success is maybe the final goal in every activity that we do in life. even when success sometimes is not matter of having goals, it is a matter of lucky, having goals can lead you in the pathway of success. Success can be estimated in terms of the goals you have after you have finish the previous ones. There are a lot of stories about people who become successful because of lucky. For example, people who won the lottery, people who find something incredible by accident like Nicholas Fleming who was studiying fungus and found the penicillin by mistake. Or like people who studied science and become successful artist. It is said that you must be in the right place and at the right time to find something incredible, it is to you if you take the opportunity. But not all is a matter of lucky. As humans we have goals, we have a powerful motor force that moves all our engines, make us creatives in a way we can find solutions to problems and develop new ideas. Maybe it was not the accident that make Nicolas flemig succesful, it was becouse he had new goals and achived them and after them, he had new ones. So we could have lucky and find something but if we do not develop new goals maybe we could not find the true success.

End of the year at my job. In the place I work, the next three weeks are holidays, so we must finish all the projects we begin, or that is the purpose. So I have been busy these days because of work. The good news is that we are finishing the main projects and we are going to have the end of the year party. About this party, in the house of my boss, we are going to celebrate with Mexican food (pozole and tostadas and of course tequila) and we are going to do a Christmas gift exchange. I have to give the gift to an excellent friend. But for the busy schedule, I have not been able to buy her gift and I do not know what to give her. Besides this stress, tomorrow will be funny.

A book first impressión: "Luces de septiembre" In my free time, I usually read unspecialized literature. I can't say I read more than an hour a day but at least I read 15 min a day. Now I'm reading a book with the appellation of "Luces de Septiembre" who was written by Carlos Ruiz Safón. It is a mystery novel written in easy Spanish, I think this book is for teens but as I read I think it is a good book because it gets you. It is about a family who lost all and three of its members find a place to live with an eccentric toymaker. As the story is developing you can read unusual events that give you hits about the way the story can go, but sometimes you find unexpected mysteries. Until now I like the book.
