Do the lines and connections give you any clues?

Okay — let’s start by BRAINSTORMING:

In the comment section, leave some ideas or knowlege you have about the diagram. Don’t leave something you found with Google — just something that you already know, or that you notice about the diagram. Sometimes even little seemingly meaningless remarks may provide a key for someone else…

Writing 3:

On your blog, tell what you consider to be your five signature strengths. Briefly give examples of the role that signature strength has played in your life.

I think my five signature strengths are bravery,creativity,love,originality and humorous.

my bravery has helped me not to be scared to try somthing.

my creativity has helped me in some aspects of school.

my lovingness has helped me with my family.

my orginality has been the reason why my freinds sometimes copy me.

my humor is why people want to be around me.

Writing 2:

Think about a time in your life that you showed that you had one of these signature strengths. Think about it, remember what happened, what the circumstances were, what you did and why you did it. How did you feel about what you did, and what did it show you about yourself? Write a short essay (150 – 200 words) about this incident and what it showed you about one of your strengths.

am I a Democrat? A Conservative? A Libertarian? A Republican? A Progressive?

I took the test, and accoding to the results, I am a LIBERAL

ead the description to see if it really did sound like me:
 Pro-

Basic Description
This group has nearly doubled in proportion since 1999, Liberals now comprise the largest share of Democrats and is the single largest of the nine Typology groups.

They are the most opposed to an assertive foreign policy,

This is true for me. Every country should be allowed to make their own decisions as long as they are not bothering us.

the most secular,

That’s true, too.Secular means you don’t base things on religion. I don’t think politics should be based on religion. They are two separate things. The Muslim countries are not secular — they base their laws on their religion. I don’t see that working.

and take the most liberal views on social issues such as

homosexuality,

*****I don’t agree on this one. I think it’s like the thing about foreign policy — people can do whatever

abortion,

 I agree with the liberal view — it’s the woman’s choice.

censorship.

I dont belive censorship everyone should be able to say what the want after all it is a free country.

strongly pro-environment

I agree with this because taking care of the enviorment is important.

diplomacy over use of military force.

Military force should only be used as a last defense.

choice, supportive of gay marriage and strongly favor environmental protection. Low participation in religious activities. Most sympathetic of any group to immigrants as well as labor unions, and most opposed to the anti-terrorism Patriot Act.
