what would life be like if we did not have work? would it be better or worse. it is hard to say considering we have had work in our lives for as long as we all have been alive. Without it, things might not work because we would not have anyone doing anything to make things work. We would not have food, water, shelter, or anything else. We would probibly all end up dying because we could not survive without it.
I think that we would also be really bored if we did not work. What would we do with our time if we did not work? Nothing. for a while i am sure it would be nice for people who work all of the time and dont like to, but after a while they would end up being sick of it.
too much work could also be a problem, so by keeping it a happy medium should be just fine.

workaholics
When reading about work, and how a lot of people do not like it, it made me think about those who work all of the time. Do they work because they love their job? Do they work because they love to be busy? Do they work because they have nothing better to do? Or do they work because they just love to make and have money?
I think that it could be all of that. However i do feel as though the main reason why someone would want to work a lot is because they just love to make money, and success. Who does not like that? There are just some people who cannot get enough of it.
It is really sad though that there are people who live to work. My father did that and it hurt our family because we would hardly ever see him, and it was sad for us. It is like that for a lot of other families too, and that is why it makes me wonder if working a lot is really worth it in the long run if that is all that you do, and you never see the ones that you love, and love you?

being like your family
The topic that we talked about in class, about how we are somewhat like our parents is interesting to me. Especially since i am adopted and i dont know who my birth family is. I act a lot like my adopted family, in certain ways, but at the same time i am so different from them, which i am sure is the same for a lot of other adopted children. It makes me wonder though if some of the things that makes me different from my adopted family makes me somewhat the same as my birth family. Obviously i would look more like the, but the way that i act and think might be somewhat the same too.
anyway, i dont think that how people act and grow up to be has everything to do with parents and family, but what experiences that a person goes through to help determine why they way that they are. for instance, if a person gets into fights at school, and is always getting into trouble for most of their childhood, they will probibly not be the happiest people. And if a person grows up being nice and not getting into fights then they might end up being more happy. that is how i see people being, and why they act the way that they do, if it is not just the family that determines how people act and are the way that they are.

Religion
I really enjoyed the conversation that we had in class about religion and how growing up with it can effect you throughout your life. I can relate to it really well, as well as others in the class, and it just happens to be a really interesting topic.
I found it really interesting to hear about others and how they went to Cathlic schools and how for some people it stuck with them and others it did not.
When living in Utah with the Mormans, it was easy to see that a lot of those who have grown up with that religion act certain ways. For instance, how they choose to vote and what they base what a good politian is. The whole marrige thing too. Kids at a very young age want to get married and start a family right after or during high school.
The one thing that really stuck to me was that they feel that women are meant to have children and be mothers. If you are able to have children then you should have as many kids that you can have. What if you did not want to have kids even though you were able too? there are already so many children on earth, why make more if it is not nessasary?
