Blog 9

For this blog we were asked to blog about an activity that we did over the course of the week. I decided to blog about the activity we did today with the pennies. The design of the game was to see who would get rich or not. I really liked this activity for several reasons. For one, it was used to determine the risk takers. The people who wouldnt think twice about trying to spend a lot of money. I really liked it because I am a risk taker. After playing around 9 years of poker, I understand what it means to take risks. But what does this say about society? Well I personally believe that the rich are rich because they were the risk takers at one point. In one point or time, someone in their family struck out all they had to try and get it big. And they succeeded. The rich also have a lot to lose however, based upon their spendings. That is why, only the cool headed people who strike big become the elite of this country.

I just also liked the activity because I seemed to e good at predicting the outcomes. But that also could be my biggest downfall.
