I'm Me, Raised In My Culture
It is often said that if you want to understand a people you must study their culture. In our most recent class period we talked about the Culture Theory. This theory suggests that we are, who we have become largely because of the Culture that raised us. As a class we divided into groups and acted as outsiders studying the culture of BYU-Idaho. My group came up with 3 subcultures of the students here at the university. Fist, Married/Family Students next, Steady Dating Students and also Single Students. It was a great experience to learn why some of us act so different from eachother just because of our current relationship status.

Following Good People
Okay, now that I've figured out how to post a few things. I've decided I should clarify some stuff. Yes, I created this blog for a class but I also created this blog because honestly everybody else I know is doing it. So it must be a good idea right!
Back to Comm 250...Yesterday in class we talked about the humanistic theory versus the classical theory of organizations. While both have their individual disadvantages and benefits, I've decided I like the humanistic approach better. This would probably explain why I am following the example of awesome people and using a blog. Just like the humanistic approach teaches us to adapt to change I have found adapting to change has come easily in my life, even though it is not always preferred.
p.s Being a people person and noticing how pictures help us relate to others I will be posting pics that relate to my blogs as soon as I learn how. Thanks for the great examples of blogs to all those whose own blogs have inpired my own.

Comm 250 and Me
I'm NaeDene Funk a BYU-Idaho communications student and am creating this blog for the purpose of expanding my growth and learning in my Organization Communications Class. While I created this blog for a class, I intend to use it mucher longer than the lenth of this class. I've always had the mindset that blogs were for married people announcing the growth of their families. Currently single myself, I am learning that my own prejudices are haunting me but also teaching me.
Having attended the first few days of Brother Embree's class, we are currently studying how to become efficient Organizational Consultants. Who would want to consider themselves with such a long boring title you ask. Maybe a better way to put it is to say I would like to not only become a master learner but in my quest to become a master learner I must become a master teacher.
