ConveryLit&SocAssignment2

For a good part of the reading Nathan is talking about hall meetings and how no one usually shows up, even when it was mandatory only seven people showed up. When our hall meetings are mandatory everyone comes and if we don’t go the C.A. comes to tell us what it is about. At least with their hall meeting they got to decide on some rules for themselves. For us we are told what the rules are the first week at the first hall meeting. Not many people like our quiet hours, 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. but they respect it for others who are doing their homework. Nathan also discovered that people will hang out with people that are just like them with same common interest. Once people find their friends they don’t go much further than that to meet new people. I believe that you will be more connected with someone that is more like you then someone you do not have much in common with. You might be friends with someone that isn’t like you but there has to be something in common along the line or you wouldn’t have anything to talk about. It might not be something you both do but even if they have something to talk about you find interesting then they are still like you in some way. While doing our observation last week with the CLUE assignment I also noticed that people sit with their same ethnicity while getting food. Or the basketball team, or a society they all sit together because they all have a common interest.
