Cultural Evolution

"I'd say a soul is the indestructible essence of an individual,". "The uniqueness of one person is indefinite and cannot be broken."

 

I just wanted to say that whoever wrote this paper did a very wonderful job. These two are my favorite lines from your essay and I feel like it did the description of a soul justice.

Moving on I am excitied to go on to cultural evolution. I feel as if there will be more avenues in which we explore, and that it will be realitivly new things that we might learn. I have always loved learning about and experiencing different cultures. I love the idea that traditions have been passed on for centuries, but that these traditions have evolved to form to the modern world. I feel that cultures must evolve or they will die out. Even minor traditions experience evolution. Take Bryn Mawrs traditions for example, when parade night was first established freshman girls just walked in two lines through the archs in white dresses. Today we run through and get hit with water balloons, candy, flowers, and confetti.Cultural is one of things that helps us stay connected to past as well as the present. I am excited to discuss the different aspects of cultural evolution and how they affect us differently or even in the same way they affected those before us.
