Analysis Paper exercise 2

1) I am writing about how people act differently in different situations. I believe that it is true that the situation a person is in can effect how they will act. The situation can include who a person is around, what is going on around the person, and where a person is. I am agreeing with Johnson, and what he wrote in chapter 6 “What It All Has To Do With Us”. I agree that people act differently based upon the situation that they are in.
I plan on using Johnson Chapter 6 “What It All Has To Do With Us”. Also I’m planning on using Takaki Chapter 3 “The Giddy Multitude”.

2) I will be using Johnson Chapter 6 “What It All Has To Do With Us”. From this article I will use how people follow the path of least resistance because of society. I will also use the example of the four African American students in Greensboro, North Carolina. I will use this example to show how because of them other African American students were willing to follow them, whereas if those four original students were not there the other students would not have done that. I can also use the example of how people act while playing the game Monopoly and how people act differently while playing the game compared to how they act in real life. Then I will talk about how this shows that people really do act differently depending on the situation.
I will also use Takaki Chapter 3 “The Giddy Multitude”. From this article I will use how Jefferson talked about how he felt bad for having slaves, yet did not try to let them free, and kept them while he was alive. I can relate this to how during that time period it was common for people to have slaves, so since many people in Virginia owned slaves, it was okay for people to keep slaves. It was viewed to be okay because that is the situation society made.
