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.

Hello Latoya,
You are correct in mentioning that we try to protect our culture. The cell phone was a good idea and I mentioned taking pictures too. I also agree when you stated that we are ultimately the same. It is sad when some people have a small outlook about someone and judge them based on that premise. A person may never know how they will need in the future.

Hi LATOYAWMS,
That’s understandable for the things that you selected. I totally chose different things that you which were fish sauce, side pillow, and that tea. I know it is different than you. I should have chosen a handgun as well to protect my family and myself. It is a hard decision and it is truly sad when you realize that some people may have faced this situation in real life.
Thank you for your post,
Sawin Thongloy
