1. What interested me from the readings this weeks was from chapter 7, pg. 271 "Who Are Friends". At first when I came across this topic I knew just then it would be a great topic to read about and also talk about. The reason being this certain section interested me is because I have a childhood best friend and I have many friends but would I really call some of them friends? I wounded why is it that when we are children we usually find friendship that is the same race as us?
2. When I was a kid growing up I moved all over the place because my dad was in the navy after moving so many times and changing schools and making new friends it gets really frustrating when you are a kid having to make new friends all time. I never really had a problems with only picking friends that are my race, I grew up knowing that it is okay to friends with other people who are not in your ethic. Also when I was in the army you had to learn to work together and to treat everyone as a family. I have a best friend like I mentioned before we have known each other since we where kids she is my only best friend that is a girl. I am the type of person that gets along better when males then I do with females. Growing up I had many friends that where my age and some where just a year older. But my best friend she is amazing she is like a sister. In high school I didn't hangout with a bunch of girls it was always just me and my best friend and couple guys friends. My parents on the other hand wished I would of had more girls as friends but I always thought that guys where better at being friends they don't talk be hind your back and they are never trying to be better then you.
3. I wouldn't mind knowing more about how other cloture form friendships? I also wouldn't mind learning more about the brain and how it stimulates our destion making when we are choosing friends. Overall I really enjoyed reading the chapters this week.
I find it weird on how we find friend's in this world to be able to say I'm compatible with that person and then just start hanging out with him/her. Our human selection of having friends is a strange process. Also just like a soul mate for love there is a soul mate for friends. People see that they must wait for the right person in life to spend it with for all eternity. This person exist in the 7 billion population =/. This idea can be applied to friends as well and I think it just depends on the people you are surrounded by and that's your choices. Our environment on where we grow and how we behave can influence on what friend we may want in our life. All of this is a fascinating topic to me, thanks for talking about it.
