MMA

Is MMA an offspring from pro wrestling or WWE I don't think it is but can people get the wrong ideas from watching these events. More kids watch WWE than MMA which I'm sure leads them to MMA even though WWE is fake. When your a kid you always want to fight like WWE superstars because you don't realize that its fake. When you get older and get out of liking the WWE a lot of people fall into MMA and want to fight. Not knowing the risks of fighting people fight anyway, Mike Tyson can talk but its with a slur and that was from boxing which is with a lot more padding on the gloves. MMA use 4 oz. gloves and they don't even have head gear on so you could just imagine the blows they take without any headgear. When people watch these events they get pumped up and want to go try fighting and not even being experienced which leads to people getting hurt. Many people have unsupervised fights which are most known as backyard brawls, Kimbo Slice is one of the most known for these backyard brawls. MMA is a huge thing now days and it could get out of hand but when are people going to get sick of MMA and want to something else to get them a rush! Will there be gun fights or man hunts? What will be next?

My Values

Some of my values are competition which was engrained into my mind throughout school from being in sports and playing in gym class. I like winning and I don't really know why it's just something that I was taught was good and that's what you play for is to win. Future orientation is a big one for me because I want to do good and I want to be able to have money and do what I want when I want and not worry about not having money. Directness is a big because I like being straight forward and telling people the way it is. You shouldn't have to lie to someone to make them feel good, by telling them straight forward they can work on their weaknesses. Directness is also very good if you want a management position because you have to be direct when telling people directions/orders. Honesty is a big part in everyone's everyday life because if you cannot trust your friend or your worker than their probably not a very good person. Efficiency to me is how well you can work or how well you can get things done.

These American values affect me at school because when I play sports we usually have pretty good competition and that's what makes the game fun. Future orientation is big during your senior year because the teachers are always influencing you and asking you what you are going to do with your life and what you want to go to college for. Directness can always be used in school especially when kids get loud teachers show directness and also when they are teaching to get a point across. Honesty is pretty much taught when you are growing up throughout school and most people lose that but its always a good thing to have. Efficiency is what teachers preach about when they give you free time and they want to see you use your time efficiently.   

Values

My values are my ARMY values and they are Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage or LDRSHIP! These were pretty much engrained in my mind during basic training and I actually noticed how much I used them throughout my day.

Barnga

The game was very difficult to understand because after everyone switched we couldn't talk and that is when the game got tough because everyone had a different version. When everyone got the different version and all came together no one understood each other because one person thought that they won but so did another person.  I didn't really understand that we were doing something wrong until the end because I always had two people from my old team that were playing with the same cards so it made the person playing with other cards look dumb. The person that thought they won got mad and tried convincing me that they won but I just kept the paperclip and they thought they won but so did I. I think that a universal language would help out a lot because many people go to different countries and have a hard time understanding each other. The card game showed how it can something so simple could be so difficult.
