If a major catastrophe occurred and I was only allowed to bring three items with me, I would chose my cell phone, photo album, and handgun. The cell phone because has pictures and videos of my family and friends in it. The photo album has pictures of my family and friends that are no longer with us as well as old pictures of living family members. Both the cell phone and photo album would help me remember my family that I may not ever see again and recall the happy times we shared. The handgun is to protect my family. Sometimes when a major catastrophe occurs people panic and panicking may lead to trying to steal from someone or other violent acts.
In the event that I could only choose one of the three items, I would most definitely choose the handgun because having to go to an unknown country the safety of family is the most important thing to me.
What I gained from this exercise is my family culture is similar to those of others. We share the importance of family. In sharing this we (various cultures) do whatever they need to do to protect each other.
