English II-IV Finding Your Tribe

Read the following article and use all five vocabulary words in a creative and detailed reflection where your describe key elements or members of your "tribe". Your tribe may include people who you do not know, but are inspired by; members of your tribe may not even be alive! The important task is to reflect on what gets you creative and inspired, and who helps you get in that element. http://www.marcandangel.com/2010/08/16/how-to-build-your-tribe-finding-your-people/

    In a small society with others that share similar views, you become a unit instead of a tribe. I think that subcultures are an important thing for a community because everyone can get together and enjoy one another. Sometimes I spend the entire day with other people before even thinking about going back home. I enjoy being with my groups a lot, but I also enjoy a little bit of time apart from the group. In order to appease my parents, I stay home for most of my Sundays before venturing out into my group.

    The first and foremost group that I enjoy spending time with is my golf team. Every day I get to see them during practice or during a game. Instead of being serious and shortsighted, we all look forward to having fun by making jokes and playing our best with one another. I believe that we all have a very good integrity towards the game though, we mean no disrespect when we call each other names during a real game. I also have other small groups that I go from place to place with, but they aren’t as attached as my golf team.

    Those who are oblivious of their surroundings don’t have a large social group, but they tend to find a niche with others like them. Its speculated that those who actually have a comfortable group surrounding them will succeed a lot more often. I personally think that you can’t spend all of your life with one group though. You must explore and taste other experiences before knowing what you will do with your life. I also suggest that you act noble and trustworthy in your group because people do not like liars and cheaters.

  2. Most of the people I would usually call friends wouldn't be considered part of my "tribe". Friends usually attribute their weaknesses on you and make you feel bad about certain things at times. A member of your tribe would actually implicate their weaknesses to your strengths and help themselves get better. They see you as a role model, and use you to inspire themselves, and vise versa.

    My tribe would consist of both gender types with an eclectic variety of backgrounds,ethnicities, and lifestyles. The more different types of personalities, the better. We can learn off of each other. I stress the importance of differentiation because we can't see outside of the box with the same, bland surroundings. Since we all are different we could have a couple collusions, but I would make sure these don't progress to big problems.

    We'd set parameters and boundaries for each other. There'd be no such thing as crossing the line.

    We all would have to enjoy learning. Not always having to do with schoolbooks, or math, but as in learning about life as well. Learning how to ride a horse, catch a fish, build a tent, how to communicate with people, learn a different language, etc. Being adventurous is one of our main ideas.

    Being socially, mentally and physically active will be our way of living. We believe there's so much to life, we have to go out and experience as much as we can.

  3. Throughout time we all have drifted apart from each other as humans forgetting where we come from. A lot of things add up to this the world around us today think society attributes to the process by labeling everyone.

    Our society works under the table it’s a collusion that people can’t see but we still do by being hypnotized. But in my tribe I want to implicate to all the people that we will work together to promote a safe environment. I don’t want my tribe to just be a “hang out spot” I want people to be dedicated and having new ideas to bring people together. To start a new generation of not being so judge mental. Being able to respect other people’s point of view of life.

    It will not be easy to do this task but it’s not impossible, we can grow to be more opened minded even if we don’t agree but respect their opinions. Sometimes you need to see both sides of a story to something instead of assuming.

    I stress about these issues because our society now a days will throw anything on the media impacting our generation or the next, but it can all start by somewhere. We would have headquarters with rooms for people to go and create workshops for the members after they can go to different places to talk about their experience. With the members honest opinion about the tribe we will have a well organized parameter.

  4. Everyone will have friends that will come and go, but there will always be that one posse that sticks with you. It depends on everyone to choose their significant group. As for myself I believe that my tribe is very small because it is unique like everyone else’s.
    My group would consist of either gender but they set a parameter of who they are. For example, a girl who doesn’t describe her characteristics as a girl but she has the features of a female. Still don’t get it? Well basically it’s a person who is physically the opposite of their features. I like being in a group where everyone is physically strong because we could do common things such as lifting. Although that’s basically half of America, I’m targeting heavy weighted. Being in a group with people that has the same physique; makes one feel good with their selves. It doesn’t allow someone to have attributed with anything in their past or present.
    This collusion has to be set right; the group will be one of those come and go type of people. The most important thing is to have a strong implication with each other. Understanding each other’s problems and weakness yet not using it as strength against each other.
    I want a group that will help others as well as their selves, emotionally to be exact. I want a group that talks a lot about everything and anything. A group that’s not shy to say anything but will set a limit to what they will say because sometimes people are seen as rude or disrespectful to what they say. I want a group that what they say will only bring happiness, comfort, joy and some humor to peoples’ lives.
    My type of group is the group that will cause stress to many people out in public. No, not the bad stress but the type of stress that everyone will want to see us again and again. My group has to LOVE reggae music! It’s all about that feel good music that sets people in good moods. These people will always be the one that everyone and all people will have a reason to smile because of the entertainment they receive.

  5. I think that a tribe should include people that you would most likely like to be around and people that will help you whenever you need it like sometimes i would hang out with friends after school before going home the key elements of peole in my tribe would be kindness, happiness, helpful, love,etc. all these things can be inspiring to you.

    My group members of my tribe would be my 2 close friends and my family because these are the people that inspire me to do my best at everything i do also they have all of these things to inspire me and they also get me to be creative which i also love to do soi would have them in my tribe.

    My tribe is the type of tribe that will help anyone that needs it and would make them happy they will also show love and they will give you advice about anything. mtribe would be very inspiring to everyone in our tracks.

I think that my tribe is very imperturabable at times even when the time is rough.

    I could be inveterate to my group because they show so much love to me and they help me out with my problems they are not fatuous because i would not want anyone in my tribe to be like that especially when we need to help each other or someone else. My tribe would make whoever in their tracks happy because of all the love they show and the advice that they give.

    In my own “tribe” I have a group of friends that, like in the article said, had my back and support me in things that I want to pursue, we all show great integrity towards one another and aren’t divided by any specific nobility in the group. My friends are always speculate on topics that range in political statuses of people who are well known such as movie stars, politicians, music artists, and any other kind of celebrity you can think of to really different topics like things we happen to find on the internet or on TV that appease our attention. Like the article said, you often meet friends while doing events that you like doing. Often that is how I met the people in my tribe through arts classes. The article if right, basically if you don’t find friends that don’t do the same activities as you then you’re oblivious into what you’re doing, considering that your friends can help you find what you really like to do just besides the activities you already like to do. Most of the time my friends introduce me to new things through motivation. Motivation goes a long way when you find new things to do that you find appealing. Whether it’s from extracurricular activities to school they help me and allow me to introduce my ideas and say what I think about something and have it listened to.

    Thinking about it, the article is right in the fact that having a “tribe” is essential to a person’s life because everyone needs a social life but it is best if it’s a select group of people who fit you the most. Having a perfect group of people helps you excel in life especially if they appease your standards. The important part of forming your tribe is that they are people you enjoy being around with because otherwise there is no point in having that tribe and it will only end up hurting your life. It is important to maintain relationship with your tribe and to make sure that they not only suit you and get along with you. They also have to feel comfortable with the rest of your tribe because that is what keeps a tribe in a healthy relationship.

    Like the article said, I might be oblivious of the size of my tribe and I may not be entirely sure on who exactly is in my tribe. I may have an idea of some of the people who are already considered to be in my tribe but no one can ever be certain. The fact is that everyone changes in all aspects so a tribe might change from time to time. With all of my sincere integrity I can say that I don’t have the same interests, inspirations, or knowledge that I did three years ago. With meeting new people and loosing contact with some, it’s hard to keep track of how big or how much change is taking place in a person’s tribe. Although, with the help of a few social networks we can see that we still have a chance of maintaining a stable tribe.

    My tribe consists of some people who share the same interests as me which would be, for example, video games or other activities outside of school, but there is another part that are based on time within school but that are also categorized as related to my interests. All of these people have similar qualities and characteristics. The have a sense of nobility and pureness, they are loyal and caring, are understanding and listen, are outgoing and fun-loving, and/or are responsible and feel like part of your family. Some of my tribe members have several of these qualities but even though they aren’t perfectly fitting in every quality they have a personal touch of their own which makes them fit in among the others and get along well.

    I have to say that I have to work on strengthening my tribe by going on activities because the article made me consider that aspect of maintaining a tribe. I am speculative on the choice of places mentioned in the article because it seems that it is unlikely to suit all members of a tribe. Places like a museum or an art gallery don’t seem to fit my tribe well because knowing them it seems that they would disagree on the choice. But since it was only a suggestion within the article I will decide on forming a list of possible options to form a day for the group to go out and get to bond together. I won’t form the list myself because it would seem unfair to the tribe which is something that we all wouldn’t want but instead I will go to every member and ask for a few suggestions to then use for a vote later. Making sure to keep everyone in touch will be a challenge but it is all for the well-being of the members of my tribe who I consider family.

  9. The perfect tribe for me personally, would include people with whom you can be yourself with. Like described in the article, everyone wants to be a part of a group where you feel loved and accepted by others. But keep in mind that there is also people oblivious that they are hanging in the wrong group. This usually happens because they want to appease those around them. Therefore, my tribe would include people that show great integrity towards one another, but can also be fun and easygoing.
    Furthermore, my tribe will include people that have things in common with me. These people will be speculative in baseball because it is something I am very passionate about. My tribe members will also be fun to be around with because no one enjoys hanging out with a boring person. Aside from having fun, my tribe members will also show nobility towards education because I believe education is very important and anyone can be successful if they put their mind to it.
    To conclude, my tribe members will also be passionate about music because music helps you express who you are and how you are feeling. This tribe will consist of both gender types and people of different ethnicities. Everyone will feel comfortable amongst each other as well as being themselves. Finally my tribe will also show that we can have fun and still be determined to be successful.

    Although you can find me with the same group in the mornings, during lunchtime, and afterschool, I do not consider them as my “tribe”. One might be speculative as to why I’m saying this, but I never felt as though I belonged with them, and they seem to be oblivious to that. Not only do I feel as though I have no true significance to their group other than being depended on for homework answers, but I am mentally incompatible with them. I only stay with them simply because I can’t find anyone else, as current groups of friends people have nowadays are deeply rooted within middle school, and it just continued over into high school.

    So who do I consider my group? Well, there were these two guys named Andy and Hamed who I was great friends with back in 8th grade. Aside from them always being there for me and attempting to appease me with the most ridiculous jokes whenever they could see I was blatantly upset, they were the best people to talk to due to the fact that all three of us had one main interest that united us: Hip-hop. On occasion, that was even how we communicated to each other, through sending each other songs in hopes the other person would apply the message of the music to themselves. It was sometimes cryptic, but I was nevertheless fascinated by these two individuals for doing so. And although I haven’t talked to either since then, I don’t think anyone else has really opened up my mind and given me new perspectives on life the way they had. I regret not remaining close to them. Something I would associate their characters with would be nobility, and my current “friends” merely serfs in comparison to them.

    In summation, I want to surround myself with people who possess personalities as described in the article; I contemplate being around people who I can connect to on a deeper level and be able to depend on, not just be physically surrounded by those who only act like they care for me when they need something from me for their own benefit. That just goes to show that they have no integrity, which is another valuable characteristic that members of my tribe should have. To build relationships with others who have similar interests as me would be nice as well, but it’s much more crucial that I befriend people who positively influence me and put up with my complexity not because they feel obligated to, but because they voluntarily want to improve who I am as a person and lift me higher. Perhaps what I’m saying is that I long to have a second family.

    The idea of a tribe has a very significant meaning personally. However before this idea was introduced to me i was oblivious to such an obvious human instinct. The primitive fear of being alone and the need for attention. A place of belonging improves the integrity of of your soul. An example could be how your parents would always tell me not to hangout with the “wrong” crowd. Quotation on the word wrong because there is no such thing as a wrong crowd. There are just people you do and don't fit in with. But hanging out with good or bad influences will mold the way you are, its just a fact that people should speculate on.
    To appease my yearn for the ultimate group/tribe for me it would include people with characteristics / knowledge I don't have. The first person I would pick would be Doctor Brendon from the show bones because of her superb knowledge in forensic science and problem solving. The next person would be one of my best friends Josh because everyone needs a partner/ sidekick (vice versa). The next person I would want in my group would of course be Nikola Tesla. He is my personal hero and is basically responsible for the modern would do to his creation of the AC current, his earthquake machine, etc. So far the people I have mentioned , in order, would suffice for my intellectual, companion, and heroic qualities that I deem necessary and just plain cool!The next person I would have would be my cousin ysak because we are very close and he is just as adventurous and far braver than I am. Tho he isn’t as book smart as I am his experiences in Guatemala brought him certain qualities that are very cool and useful. One time when we were in my backyard he climbed up a 50+ foot tree. He brings out the side of me that makes me try thing that I otherwise probably wouldn’t, the daring one. The next person will go unnamed for personal reasons but she would be part of my group for companion she, plus she is my backbone and I don't know what I would do without her. I have liked her for two years and I couldn't think of a better to come with me on any adventure.
    My perfect tribe would include my best friend josh, my cousin ysak, Doctor Brendon from the show bones, Nikola Tesla, and my unnamed friend. These people would be the perfect tribe for me because they all have characteristics that I feel are necessary for me. They would bring me up from any downfall I may encounter and satisfy my need for intellectual friendship along with straight companionship, though my group probably wouldn't seem perfect to someone else, they may not even see the nobility in it. But it doesn't matter because a tribe is personal and is molded by what your are interested and what you lack to build your self up to reach the perfect you.

  12. My tribe would be one of an orderly chaos. What i mean by that is that everyone would be one the same page of not being on the same page. My tribe would be one that would stress the importance of independent thoughts and actions, without any collusion between people. Sure there would be times for people to come together to work toward a similar interest and reach goals faster but there would be a strong disdain to those who would work against another or work to destroy someones practice, so in short my tribe would need to be free of envy. An attribute my tribe would work with as a parameter is to always uplift and encourage one another with words and actions of positivity, because it would servilely help those in my tribe peruse their interest with no fear of being unaccepted and or put down. To implicate our togetherness we come together and discuss desires, matters, and opinions from the heart. Our deepest dreams and desires, our life goals and our current troubles. So i could describe this process of a therapeutic type of discussion, because things that go undisclosed stay with us and slow our process of life. My tribe would roll with life's punches and never let anything slow down our speed of our pursuits.

    I’m often seen with the same people, before school ,lunch, and after school. I consider them part of my “tribe”. We all treat each other with respect and integrity. I feel as if this is the group of people that I belong in .I’ve known most of these guys since elementary school and I met some of them last year. We play Futsal together for about year and we’ve had lots of great experience. We started the team with only 6 of us when we competed at regional’s in Hayward ,but we soon expanded to 12 when we encountered Nationals in Anaheim. We are known as the “Craques” which means “a soccer prodigy” in Portuguese. Most people are speculative of what “Craque” even means because they don’t speak Portuguese ,so we have to do lots of explaining. We don’t appease each other ,but we support each other. We also don’t consider our selves as nobles to everyone else, we just like to have a good time , all the time. However when we are in competition with each-other for what ever reason it is, all hell breaks loose. But in the end we are not oblivious that our friendship is more important than any competition. So for now I think I’ve found the tribe for me, I’m just hoping that it stays like that.

    My tribe consists of various rakish personalities that all compliment one another. In a way, that is what keeps us together. It makes the pack a bit more interesting than the other, because I never know what's going to happen that certain day/night. It can be a fatuous or imperturbable day/night, but either way, I spend time with the guys I adore the most.

    The fact that everyone has something genuine to put on the table makes me love my tribe. I, like many others, would not like to be with someone who is exactly like me, because there wouldn't be anything new to experience. It makes everything a lot more interesting when you try something crazy that you haven't before.

    The people in this group are honest and hard headed, and that is another reason why I love this group. We're honest towards each other, most of the time, and we make each other feel loved and eased enough to trust. On the other hand, perfection doesn't run in the group, because there can be misunderstandings. These arguments augment the bonds between each person, because we learn to appreciate one another after a silly conflict. These fatuous conflicts make us realize that we need to stick together.

    We are a distinct pack of young lads, and our ways are inveterate. We help each other out, make fun of each other, and irritate each other. But in the end, we all realize that we're here for the good and we're trying to have fun, crazy, and voluptuous nights with each other.

    For as long as I can remember, I am a people-pleaser. I strive to appease anyone who I came into contact with and it was something that I felt obligated to do; whether or not it benefited me in the end. This didn’t restrict me from being confined in one group for long; I was someone who jumped to one group to the next. In addition, this was caused due to the fact that I felt as if I didn’t belong. Don’t get me wrong, I got to know and respect people from each group that allowed me in, and sure we had things in common here and there, but I was never able to be myself.

    This made me question who I am, and what exactly am I looking for in a tribe. Well first and foremost, I am a dreamer. My daydreams and wishes are the key elements when I write anything- novellas, poems, lyrics, and even scripts for a play or movie. Reading and writing is my passion. I would love to meet people who actually enjoy reading, and conversing on their opinions on alternate scenarios or character development.

    Music is another one of my muses. When people see me, they think, “Justin Bieber and One Direction.” Granted, I do listen to Justin, and shake my bum to One Direction but nonetheless I love music. I am not too picky when it comes to the genre of music. Reggae, ska, heavy metal, grunge, pop (regular mainstream, and Asian influenced- not including Psy), punk, indie, jazz, oldies, and the list continues. Music and lyrics should be also a priority in my tribe, including the main characteristics from the listed article.

    I am not from nobility where I bathe in a gold tub watching awkward men built like a beanpole prancing around in tights. Not only because I have integrity and by no means will allow anyone to be degraded, but also because I admire people who has a sense of self and direction. People that empathizes with one another, who you can call at three in the morning because you thought that you can relate to Rick and Ilsa in the aspect of sacrifice for greater means, or promising to start working out together after you finish your In&Out meal, then laugh afterwards because, who are we kidding? I would enjoy being around people who will have speculative thoughts, but not oblivious to the fact that though we are a unit, we still have our personal ideologies; therefore, they aren’t closed minded, and won’t conform to what society believes we should be like. Eventually I want to be in a group where I can be comfortable being myself, and feel like I am a key piece in a puzzle where we, my tribe, makes up a bigger picture- passion, dreams, success, and life.

  16. In my tribe it would be my “friends” Christian and Cristian yes both of them have the same name but when you put us three together we are invisible and do damage, well the good kind of damage sometimes. When you put us three we tend to always work on some sort of car or we always like to go out and have fun mess around with people. But in this tribe how it would be is we would help each other out so we can survive and keep living a good healthy life. We would search and find more people who would join us and live day by day. In my tribe everyone gets to be independent on making their own choices. I will have morals set in my tribe tho like baiss morals. In my tribe you get to work for what you want nothing will be given just like the real world. Along with being independent everyone in my tribe has a special unique talent that help us get things done or help others. My tribe we live of what have and what we work for .

    Most people I know now aren’t really considered to be in my “tribe”. Just because you hang out with the same people all the time doesn’t make them in your “tribe”. The characteristics of the people in the “tribe” I want to be in are honest, considerate, and adventurous.
    I want my friends to be honest. I’m not saying the really honest kind, but the kind of honesty that make things fair. For example, I don’t want a friend that always cheats during school or lies just to appease someone. Cheating makes it unfair for other students and lying just to make yourself look good, in my opinion, makes you look bad instead. These types of people have no integrity towards others, these people are selfish and these are the people I do not want in my tribe.
    Though lying can have a good side. If a person lies to you for your good then they are being considerate thus also showing their nobility. They consider what the group likes and plans accordingly for dinners, parties, ect.
    I also want friends that are adventurous; I don’t want them to be oblivious about their surroundings. I would love to spend time with my group traveling to places and trying new things.
    In my opinion, the people in a tribe don’t have to have the same characteristics. For example, if someone is a bad decision maker they might make good friends with someone that can make decisions. Another would be a group of friends with some different interests. Like if a person likes sweet dishes and another likes savory, they can work together and make a whole meal. But important factors in a tribe are having common interests and knowing each other well. You can’t be speculative about others interests and assume they like something when they don’t. A tribe is like a team that can work well together, that will help each other during hard times and will last forever.

    A tribe is an immense benefactor of someone's life and inspires that person to be what they are today. My tribe would consist of people with integrity, a sense of humor, dedication to education, kindness, a variety in music, and just people that you can be yourself with. They would be oblivious to judgmental opinions of others and won't have to worry about being themselves. The article made some statements that made me reflect on my "tribe" and who I am. It made me realize that even now, I don't know if I have found the "true" tribe that I belong in.

    From my perspective, people change every day without realizing it from the tribe they spend time with. They evolve into a different side of themselves, whether it's good or bad. I can say myself that I'm not the same person that I was from back then in middle school, or maybe even just a couple months ago. I remember back in middle school that I was lonely because my best friend went to another school and I didn't have many friends. I was really shy and not the sociable type. I was spending time with different people trying to figure out who I really was. I just kept changing from group to group, until I realized all I was doing was appeasing them and not being myself. I realized how stupid I was for buying all these useless items that weren't my personality and wasting money like nobility. It came to my realization that who I needed were people with the characteristics mentioned in the beginning. Now, I contain a “tribe” that possesses these unique qualities. What unites us together is our different taste in music, various personalities, weird stories, and loyalty to one another.

    All in all, I can say that I am clueless if I have found my “tribe” yet and members of a tribe affect a person’s life. After reading this article, I can make a speculative assumption that somewhere in this massive world, my “tribe” is still there waiting for me to arrive.

    In my tribe I have appease of having people with qualities that I don’t have. For instance, I’m sometimes oblivious to my surroundings, but most of my tribe mates know about what’s going on with things and can find out any type of information on anyone. Another type of people in my tribe is that they are adventurous and willing to take risks even at last minute. All of my friends love to travel. They’ve been outside the country more than once and would like to travel even greater distances. They’ve done more than just hang around they either go zip-lining, kayaking, white water rafting, or even jumping from a waterfall into a pool of cold water. Don’t get me wrong for most people who aren’t quite the dare devil but I love people who love trying something fresh and new and not the same thing over again. It’s quite boring, I dislike the plain and simple people who go on with everyday life doing the same thing over and over it’s quite redundant.
    Since most people are speculative towards me and what I do on a daily basis it’s quite difficult for me to relate to any one of them. My tribe mates have the nobility to be with me. I wouldn’t say that I’m living like royalty, but most can’t afford how I’m living. Shopping every weekend and buying something new, eating out, having fun, and going to favorite restaurants out in the more lavish parts of California. I can say that all of my tribe mates can afford everything that I can afford. Either than my tribe being risk takers, my tribe is pouring out integrity they may look like they don’t notice you trying to make fun of one of us we’re not blind the first time you come into that door we can already speculate who we like or don’t like we would just look at each other and already know what the person is thinking.
    You could say that I’m a therapist and give out help when needed. Whether it’s about school, homework, teachers, family, or troubles with other friends who aren’t part of the tribe I could always relate to them cheer them up and bring a smile back to their face knowing that everything’s going to be alright.

  20. What I have found about the people in my “tribe” quite surprises me. To start off, the qualities of the people in my tribe all aren’t necessarily oblivious to the things around them. They are aware of their surroundings and take action accordingly. If the situation gets difficult, my “people” get quite creative and are inspired to find a way around it or to solve it. To do such things, requires a certain degree of nobility and integrity. I find that one of the characteristics that my tribe members have is honesty and a sense of responsibility for their actions.
    Secondly, based on speculative observations, I find that my tribe members really enjoy doing different activities that appeases us. Some like to play sports, others are complete adrenaline junkies and thrive for the rush of emotions as they get to the tippy top of a gigantic rollercoaster or enjoy hang gliding in maui, and there may be a few like me that have a love for traveling to far away places. We all enjoy some form of excitement and the element of surprise to a certain degree.
    Third, the people in my tribe also include members who have a love for either of the following : water sports (i.e. water skiing, diving, etc.), cooking/baking, music, and possibly lavish and exquisite things. I love all of these things and I’ve found that my tribe members and I might have these traits in common.
    The people who help me get into my element are the people I meet whenever I try something new. They can be experienced and have done this before or a total newbie like me. I don’t mind meeting either because with experienced I could possibly know what to expect and maybe get something totally different out of the event. On the other hand, if I meet someone who’s also doing something for the first time, we could go through it together and possibly help each other along the way with what we just learned. It’s amazing fun to do something you never tried but have always wanted to.

    There are more than seven million people living in the Earth. Beyond these seven million people are our own tribes' existence. Each tribe consists of different people that shares identical personalities, characteristics, passion, etc, helping you reach out for future success. But even if people partake in the same interests each person is still unique in their own way which makes all of us different. In my opinion, there are three factors that affect the way we belong or find our tribe. The first one is location. Within a large area, a group or tribe is found. Even in a small place, each of us can still be able to find one another's similarities. Race is also a factor. Base from experiences, people choose to spend time with the people with the same skin color due to the fact that each race shares the same culture. But not all tribe are base on races. And third is our own society. Our society nowadays identifies different type of tribes through commonalities and stereotypical names. In my school, just by looking at different tribes, you can already tell what stereotypical group they are in. And of course, like society classes in ancient days, nobility are on the top and poor are on the bottom just as how modern tribes are right now.

    Oblivious yet speculative, I learned how to find my own tribe easy. Due to my location, race and the type of society I'm in, I was able to find my way out of isolation. John Muir was my first school that I attended during my first year of living in the US. Obviously, California is more diverse than the Philippines, so it was hard for me at first to find who I really can help with everyday life at school due to my language adjustments. So I appeased myself by acquiring a strong integrity and with it I was easily distinguished by the people whom I share the same race with. As months pass by, I claimed myself as a part of this tribe. In our group, we liked the same song genres, we hated green tea flavored ice cream, learned how to do complicated homework, etc. Not only we shared the same interests, our tribe also helps and tries to fix each other’s problems. Without my peers, I wouldn't be able to adapt fast enough to survive as the ‘new student’ .Comparison to the other tribes, we were also a part of a stereotypical tribe. With this, people would start naming a specific tribe name related to each tribe. If my family didn't immigrate, I would be in a completely different tribe right now. And without my tribe, I'd be a completely different person as to what I am right now,

  22. People that you talk to routinely have become your tribe. Looking at it from a bird's eye view, you can say that each and everyone one of us have become inveterate to our "tribe" that we may or may not notice. Some may see calling your friends a tribe as fatuous, when in fact, it's the truth. As your tribe, they support you morally and physically. You're all grouped together based upon interests. Even a rakish celebrity, such as Zac Efron can be part of your tribe if you all share the same interests or even dreams in life.
    It does tie back to how family doesn't have to be through blood. It's whoever is there for you at the end of the day. They're the people that make sure that you're imperturbable and will defend you at all costs. They're the people that love you, for well, you. Sometimes your tribe comes to you naturally, just like your family. Like high school clubs, you're involved in an array of tribes.
    The members of my tribe vary. I don't look for image--voluptuous or lanky, smart or stupid; none of that. If you roll the way I roll, or we simply share interests, we're a tribe. It's not just like that, though. There's more than meets the eye. Like my main best friends in school, we have to act like a family and be one another's backbone. It's also important to share the same views to avoid too many internal arguments. Members should like one another, whether it's directly or mutually, considering that people you might not even know could be part of your tribe! They should influence you positively, rather than forcing you to do what you don't like. Specifically, I look for similar tastes in music, sometimes sports, and interests. I know who my tribe consists of, and they'll always be dear to my heart.

    Choosing the right members of your specific tribe is a speculative task. The ones who are in my tribe are the ones that I can be myself to and I don't have to force myself to appease to them. The members of my tribe don't only benefit me but they give me the integrity that makes up who I am as a person.

    Friends make up a percentage of my tribe. In all honesty, I have many acquaintances that I can categorize as a friend but I wouldn't select them to be apart of my tribe. Those select friends in my tribe would be the ones who share similar goals with me but also aren't oblivious to my feelings. We can always depend on each other and we know each other well enough to the point where our nobility towards each other is strong. I have friends in my tribe that encourage me to do well in school and they share the same education goals as I do. We motivate each other and push each other to pursue our goals. Then I have another group of friends in my tribe that I know I can talk to whenever I need someone there for me. We can be ourselves to each other and we share interests in things such as pop culture, fashion, etc.

    It may be cliché to say this but I do consider my family to be a part of my tribe. Moreover the ones in my family who motivate me to do well and accept me for who I am. They reassure me that they believe in my me and they also want me to do my best. Specifically, my older cousin would be apart of my tribe because she's had an important impact in my life. She had a bad reputation but with effort and hardwork, she was able to turn it around and now has a bright looking future ahead of her. She inspires me to be as positive as I can be and that's why I want her to be in my tribe.

    I'm still a young person, so of course my tribe may change over time. I just hope that the members are still able to benefit me in the long run.

  24. I think that the people that are in my tribe are people that I talk to regularly and want to help me accomplish my goals. Obviously, I'm not going to want a rakish person that only makes fatuous comments while I struggle to be in my tribe because they aren't helping me grow as a person. But the people in my tribe should also share the same interests as me so they know how to help me. Be it intellectually, socially, or musically.
    The people in my tribe could come in al shapes, sizes, genders, and races. One could be a voluptuous, intelligent woman while another could be a lanky athlete; as long as they are there for me, it doesn't really matter what they look like. They could be inveterate gamblers or alcoholics but as long as they are able to keep that habit in control, it won't bother me because I am imperturbable.
    I'm not sure of who, at this point in my life, are in my tribe because I'm still growing and learning and as I change, my tribe changes depending on what I need. People come and go and sometimes I have to kick people out of my tribe because they aren't the type of people I want to associate with or necessarily need. All I know is I do have a tribe and no matter what happens I know that they will be there for me.

    I have many different people that would be in my tribe. I have many friends, however many of them I would not go to for advice or help. There are many different types of friends that I have. There are the friends that I can go to advice for, there are the friends that are kind of just there then there are friends as in team mates.

    The people who would be in my tribe are the ones that I can count on and bring out my strengths. To pick who would be in my tribe there are many things that I consider. For example there is a parameter on how crazy they can be. I want my friends to implicate that being in my tribe is a privilege and that means that they are great friends and very well trusted. However I do want to stress that I do not discriminate people by their skin color when picking tribes. I would hope that in my tribe there would not be any collusion that was behind my back, especially because I trusted the people that I picked.

    Many people would attribute to the diversity of my tribe. In my tribe there would be that one thing that everyone contributed; whether it would be their ability to give advice, or to being there for me a lot. All the things that I would “need” I would have my tribe to go to and get help from them.

  26. The parameters of my tribe would be small. I prefer characteristics, not people. No one alive is in my tribe. I prefer smaller groups anyway. I think I attribute this to my personal beliefs. No one in my tribe would perform collusion against other members of the tribe. This implicates that all the tribe members would appreciate each other, along with keeping the others in check. The biggest thing I stress in this tribe is individual characteristics, not actual personalities.
    I would want someone with Ron Swanson-esque characteristics. For those unfamiliar, Ron Swanson is a tough, meat-loving, politician. He is a cult figure in his hometown in Indiana. I want Swanson in my tribe because he is strong mentally. He doesn’t take NO for an answer, ever. He is politically conservative, and despises the idea of a ‘big brother’ government.
    I would also want someone with the tendencies of Ty Cobb. Not Cobb, the vile, racist man, but Cobb the player. I want someone in my tribe that can be a fierce leader. Even in my own tribe, I feel that I shouldn’t lead it. I need someone who can guide me along, at first.

    My tribe will consist of people who have my back through everything, no matter how many times we disagree on things. People who will help me accomplish my goals, and keep me motivated. The people in my tribe should share the same interest, while it may be in basketball or just simply chilling and having a good time. I don’t want a rakish person, who’s only going to give fatuous comments and do bad things because there only going to hold me back and not help me grow as an individual. I have a lot of friends though I only consider some of them to be in my tribe. The reason being is because not everyone can be in your tribe, only those who will be there with you through out anything and help you grow as a person. The people in my tribe can be anyone; it can be a voluptuous girl or the ugliest guy. It wouldn’t matter as long as they share the same interest and be there for me 100 percent. They can be inveterate gamblers as long as they know there limit. I wouldn’t have a problem with it because I am an imperturbable person. As I’m going through high school I know exactly who’s in my tribe, though I’m sure that’ll change as life goes on. That’s just the circle of life, people come and go and you just have to be ready to take that on. The people in my tribe now, are exactly the people I need to keep me moving on with life.

  28. In my ideal tribe my people will build and hone their personal skills and accomplish life goals with help in the areas where they struggle. Also, friends in my tribe have various discrepancies that make each and every person unique and independent of basic representation. Many of my ideal tribe members are the people I already know and associate with now. In my tribe intelligence is recommended highly but not required, not doing well in any academics is frowned upon anywhere and the people in my tribe will act like tutors and help. Street smart or a sense of what the general public wants could aid the overall tribe in gaining notability within other tribes. My tribe does not consist of leaders nor followers everyone is independently rendered to sustain their own name. My tribe is like a squad of navy seals on a rescue mission or a baseball team with the bases loaded. My tribe picks each other when they are down or encourages each other when they struggle. My tribe would be ideal to help others to get there justice and rightful peace of mind. My tribe members are leaders of our nation.

  29. My tribe which I would call my crew that I spend the most time with would be the people who I know the most or those who I call my friends. I would have parameter of how many people in my tribe because that is the reason for it. The tribe is for those who I am close with and are there for eachother all the time. We can implicate it as a my varstity soccer team this year we had a great season but it came to an end. But we improved not only in the soccer field but also our friendship as a team got closer that you can call us family now. We want whats best foreachother so we practiced everyday of the week to become that players we want to be and win games . In my tribe we wont have collusion of any kind because we are going to helpeachother to be all in the top and succeed so our environment that we live in can be a better place for tommorow. In my tribe their will be different personalities that makes each everyone different and has a different role in the tribe to do as work . We all have some experience in something that we know how to do so we all put our skills toghether to make our tribe successful . We dont have to have stress on our tribe because if everyone is on the same side we wont have to deal with any problems that might attribute a certain person in my tribe that would start to rebel. We all look for the same thing in our tribe by beign peaceful, respectful, and helping eachother out in our tribe so everything can be as it should be .

  30. Choosing a tribe is not a speculative task to do. You simply choose the people who you can relate to and who you can be yourself to. I would choose people who can appease your whole tribe. My tribe will treat everybody equally and not some like nobility. My tribe will not only be friends but also other people who can relate to us. I think that Cristiano Ronaldo, a world famous soccer player, would be good in our tribe. The reason I think this is because not only does he play soccer like the tribe i would have, but he helps with the community and tries to make the world a better place. my tribe would need to take care of planet Earth by either recycling, or donating money to a local community center where they can do something good with it. My tribe will not necessarily need to be educationally smart, but street smart would be ideal. They will need to know when somebody is trying to take advantage of them so they can take control. My tribe would have their own nickname and that nickname would be "The Craques", it's Portuguese slang for beasts. One thing that my tribe will strongly need is integrity within eachother. Without it, nobody will be feeling safe or protected within eachother. What would get my tribe inspired to help out with the community, would be that there will be special rewards monthly. We will only accept new members into our tribe if the whole tribe feels like they can connect and relate to them. That's what my ideal tribe would be like.

    Being in a tribe is with people who care about you and understands you for who you are. They have a lot in common with you, they try their best to always be there for you, and they have the integrity to tell you if you did something wrong and will help you try to fix it. It’s important to have people you like in your tribe because if your tribe is with people you are uncomfortable with, you aren’t going to enjoy spending time with them and you’re going to become oblivious towards your tribe.

    In my tribe, I want people that are understanding and honest. I wouldn’t want people that would appease someone to actually get them to like them or somebody that is speculative about somebody they don’t actually know. I would consider my family and some of my close friends in my tribe because they support me on what I want to do and help me achieve my goals even if it takes years to do. I want my tribe to be equal and not by nobility, everyone should have the same rights instead of one person being a higher rank and having more justice open themselves than somebody else that cannot express themselves for who they are. As time goes by, people can change therefore your tribe may change also. You just need to accept the fact that people can change and you need to accept them for who they are.

  32. Being in a tribe is being in a ohana, or family. In a tribe is with the people who loves you and cares for your well-being, no matter what you do or who you are. The article said that a tribe is a place where you can be yourself, where you can do what’s right and your “tribe” will do with or tell you not to do because it’s something bad. Your tribe will listen to you when you cry, never disrespect you (ok maybe a little but as a joke of course), have fun with you, and most importantly, love you.
    For six years, I have been part of a big ohana or tribe. Ever since sixth grade when I first started wrestling. A few of my teammates who continued in high school were some of my closest friends even though I don’t hang out with them during the school time. If you see me and my teammates and coaches, you can speculate that we are one, a team, a family, a “tribe”. We are so closely bonded with each other that I think that we, as a team have a certain level of integrity in ourselves to help each other in bad situations. The best part of my tribe is my coaches; they are like fathers to me, who give me advice in wrestling and in the life situations. I feel as though I can tell them more than I tell my REAL father. For example, since last year I haven’t been wanting to wrestle because it was hard, really hard. I thought about quitting everyday but I could never do it! It was because if I did, I thought I would lose my family and I hate losing family. I’d think that if I quit they would be oblivious to me if I said hi or make a conversation to them. But during practice or at matches I wouldn’t try as hard as I would, because I did not want to wrestle anymore and I know my coaches noticed but always pushed me harder. I wanted to appease my coaches and my teammates by doing well, but it’s impossible to do something well, if you don’t want to do it anymore. Until one day, during practice, I had to wrestle my teammate for a spot that would put either one of us into the varsity spot for NCS the next week. I had cried in the first thirty minutes of practice, mostly cause I wanted to get out of practice but a hidden meaning was concealed in my heart. My Coach took me outside and we talked, talked for 2 hours as he listened of how I wanted to quit and all these other things. He was noble and just, calm and listening to my troubles and commenting and giving insight. In between that talk he went back inside to check on the team; I went into the bathroom and cried some more, my teammate came in because he wanted to check up on me and hugged me because he saw I needed comfort and he left. After all that, I went inside the room and everyone's eyes were staring at me with caring eyes as my coach talked to them about our conversation and how it relates to the whole team. I don’t need a new tribe, I already found mine.:')

  33. A tribe is a group of people that understand each other and are able to work together and work out differences. My tribe would have to be made of people that enjoy dressing rakishly. So in particular, people that are inveterate of fashion and make up and hair would be in my group. I would also like to have people that are imperpetuable when it comes to working hard and staying focused because when work is needed to be done, it has to be done in a timely manner. so being fatuous would not work when being in this tribe. My tribe would be made of both males and females of all races, ethnicities and body types, voluptuous or slender. My tribe would have to be strong and not lazy. Laziness would only irritate people. Laziness leads to being messy and the lack of being clean and sanitary wouldn't work out if someone were to be in my group that carried that trait. Fun would come when it is time to have fun and seriousness when then have to be.

  34. A tribe is a crew or a pack of people who share similar interests and support each other. At school as we socialize with hundreds of individuals we tend to form groups of friends. We become inveterate to that group of friends because we end up eating lunch with them every day. These friends become part of your tribe. My tribe would include various rakish individuals. We would share a common interest in fashion and shopping and always give each other helpful tips fashion wise. We would also share the same ambition of getting into a good college and becoming successful when we grow up. Sometimes when we have to do a project together we’d become serious and work in an imperturbable atmosphere. And sometimes when we’re out and about we’d be chaotic. But you can expect that with different personalities colliding with each other. We won’t always agree with each other on every topic and we might say something fatuous once in a while to each other, but that’s why everyone loves each other in the tribe. No one would really want to hang out with people who are exactly the same as them because there won’t be any new experiences. My tribe would consist of people with different ethnicities and cultures. You could be short, tall, skinny, or voluptuous. People in my tribe would accept you and love you for who you are and support you through hard times. They respect you and your differences and would always be there to lend a hand. And most importantly, the people in my tribe would inspire each other to be creative.

    Throughout our lives, a person’s tribe – or group of people that share common interests – will change as the person’s point of view, opinions, personality, and characteristics change and develop. With that being said, maybe my tribe will change later on, but for now, I know who is in my tribe and who I would want in my tribe. I am not oblivious to who I would prefer to surround myself with.
    The fundamentals of being in my tribe are very complex; because there are many standards and expectations I have of people in my tribe. I take education very seriously, even though sometimes I do procrastinate. Therefore, a key element of someone in my tribe is someone who values education. This not only means caring about school, but also actually having integrity towards doing their homework and not doing it right before class starts. They might not have the best study habits, but they have goals of what they want to achieve in life. Furthermore, I do not want someone who tries to appease me all the time. I want someone who can tell me what I’m doing wrong, and how I could improve to make it better. Everyone can improve upon what they are doing, because no one is perfect. I want those who can stimulate my mind and make me work harder to become better. Another key element I look for in a tribe member is someone who does not talk without knowledge on the subject. While a peaceful argument is food for thought, arguing with ignorance is fuel for the fire. If you don’t really know the subject, don’t act like a know-it-all. Duh. The last main characteristic is a sense of humor and ability to not be serious all the time. Whenever I’m not in a serious conversation or bad mood, I’m always joking around with people. Some people take it to heart a little too much and that’s fine, but they wouldn’t be a part of my tribe.
    While I have a couple people at school who I really think are in my tribe, my family is also definitely in my tribe. My family is very supportive of what I want to do with my life and doing what makes me happy, and even if I complain about it, they always push me to strive higher (even when I’m at my highest). I don’t need anyone of the nobility in my tribe, and I don’t need anything luxurious. All I truly need is someone who is educationally stable and supportive of my rigor.

  36. A tribe is not based on the person's rakish or voluptuous appearance, but are people you and you only can tolerate. I have a very picky choice when it comes to certain people. There's race, age, sex, location, and psychological habits that makes me choose people. First let's go with race. Living in the Bay Area, race isn't even a problem since we are very diverse. When it comes to the gender of th person it won't really matter too, because a tribe would be fatuous if it was all guys or vice versa. Now for location I would be a little picky. I do not want our tribe to face a langauge barrier, so one universal language would be the best choice for my tribe. In school I would associate myself with a tribe. My friends and I who hang out at one common place are considered a tribe. We do many things together and we can tolerate our inveterate habits. In fact we make joke about the habits, but none of us get offended because we know its a joke. Also its also impossible to get imperturbable around them, because every time you see them you want to smile. In short a tribe is someone that you're comfortable around with. A tribe is someone you can count on and finally a tribe is something you can rely on. A tribe is someone that can make you happy. In short mainly your friends and your family are the type of people you want in your tribe.

    Being part of a tribe gives you a sense of belonging and acceptance. The people in your group most likely have a lot in common with you and support you when ever they can. It’s important to feel included and have others to relate to. To some, finding a tribe can be a real struggle, but if you know what you would like in your posse then it’ll be slightly less difficult.
    When it comes to being social and finding my true friends I am definitely no expert; however, I do know that I would the people of my tribe to consist of. First off, I would like to feel comfortable with my tribe. They should be able to have nobility towards each other and be able to accept one another. I don’t want to change who I am just to appease them. If they are oblivious to what my personality is and would like me change in to something that I’m not then it’s obvious that we just don’t belong. Another quality that I would like my tribe to have is honesty. I want company that will help me improve as a person and reach my goals in and outside of school. In addition to that, they should also be ambitious and speculative. It’d be nice to be surrounded by people who try their best to succeed and accomplish their dreams.
    Currently, I don’t really have a single tribe. You can say that I’m some what a “tribe-hopper,” but I still don’t really know where I fit in. However, I am content with where I stand and the people I spend time with give me integrity.

  38. My tribe is a very unique and diverse tribe. We have a lot of interests and different views on our interests. One of our interests is sports. So that is the reason why Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Larry Bird, Ray Lewis, and Jerry Rice are just a few of the people in this tribe. We all meet twice a week to watch the biggest sports games that week and discuss what is happening and give our predictions on what will happen in the future. This is an open discussion which sometimes gets heated but that’s attributed to our passion. We never get out of the parameters though, everything stays respectful. Another key part of our tribe is the music portion. We stress different artists and types of music. Some of the people this includes are Tupac, The Beatles, Kendrick Lamar, Ray Charles, and Ab-Soul. There are much more people but we also meet a few times a week to talk about new music, what each person is planning on dropping next (if they are alive), and other various music topics. I am implicating that I have a very large tribe but the conversations and discussions will never stop.

  39. Everyone is a part of their own tribe. They just don't know which one or which ones they belong in. I would like to believe I already have a solid, small-knit tribe. However, I know that my tribe doesn't stop at friends, family, or peers. I understand that there are potentially hundreds if not thousands of people who would meet the criteria for our tribe.
    First off, the people of my tribe are all very imperturbable, but exciting at the same time. We all must have a quality sense of humor and not get easily offended. In a particular sense, we all must be understanding of each others feelings and know when to not step on anyone's toes. If anyone is being exceptionally fatuous they'll understand that we would have to snap them back to reality. The people of my tribe encourage each other to do their best. However, we won't tell each other what exactly to do, but we will let each other make our own decisions and simply support them.
    It is essential for the people in my tribe to have an inveterate love of eating, cooking, or baking. There's no questioning that aspect. Therefore many of us are going to be voluptuous individuals. However, we wouldn't judge anyone's body or how they dress, whether they are rakish or homely.
    Overall, these people who I may know or may have not even met have to not take life too seriously, yet understand the harshness of reality. They have to be humorous, respectful, and supportive.

    My tribe consists mostly of people who enjoy the same things as me, which is the sport of soccer. While playing soccer or futsal, I am oblivious of anything outside of the match. Therefore, not only can I speculate this is my favorite thing to do, but I can prove it is. My tribe is mainly friends who I hang out with throughout the day. My tribe fits well because we can share our common interests and help one another whenever help is needed. In this tribe we appease each other by joking around and pulling pranks that sometimes involve lying which will not show integrity. This does not affect our relationship as a tribe because we can all take a clever joke. The people in this tribe all fit in and no one is treated as a noble. Having said this, this tribe can be described as an adventurous, supportive group that makes many good memories.

  41. My tribe could be defined as the people who encourage me to do crazy new things and will always have my back no matter what. Their attributes would consist of humorous talks, respectful, fun, crazy, and trustworthy people. I don't mind having all similarities in music and movies because I'd like the people in my tribe to be diverse but of course some similarities like what we perceive in life or what collusions we believe in or can argue about. The benefit of having a few different likes would be experiencing new things, like road trips or attending random events. Those people that would have a good time without having to stress about getting drunk so they won't remember what we did as a group-destroys the point of remembering good moments. We would definitely implicate each other in a bad situation to have each other's backs. There would be no parameter of us making fun of each other and they cannot be upset of a small joke which many people do. The majority of people would assume a very small group though increasing the numbers makes the experience better and more memorable, it's a large world.

  42. Many people are part of several different tribes, such as I who stands in a crowd of inveterate bikers who like to keep each other entertained not with just tricks, but with our fatuous attitudes at random stuff. I have clearly recognized my family tribe consisting of all my best of friends that will always keep a smile on my face whether I'm dressed voluptuously or rakishly. These people understand that there is more to me than what i show physically and they accept me and we exchange our trust because in all of our friendships individually we recognized that the first friend was like brother and sister to the next friend and since middle school and even elementary school we grew like orchids, blooming big and bright in high school now. I may not be an imperturbable person with these people but they know how to get me back on my feet when i fall, they keep me standing when struck by lightning, my backbones. These people are the only people who understood that there are few people in the world who think about the big and little things that we can all share, and led us to opening up to each other. Without opening up to my tribe, I wouldn't be standing in this crowd.i completely understand that soon enough i'll be opening my mind to other tribes, networking with new people and maybe expanding my currently found tribes because there are too many people in the world to not create or find your members. they are out there and they are going to be there for you. they might not be reaching out to you just yet, but they will be soon enough. You will never be alone.

    Having a tribe is essential to people, at least nowadays. You can still live independently, but it’s easier to live with people who are there for you. Fortunately, I have a tribe of my own. My tribe is a group of guys who share common interests and values, we love to cruise the streets with our bikes. Biking is basically how we started out. Therefore, we named our tribe Gike Bang. If you switch the first 2 letters, it’s spelled Bike Gang. However, my tribe does not only consist of biking. We are a group of brothers who absolutely care for each other no matter what. We are family, true friends, and posses.

    We have such high INTEGRITY for one another. No one is “fake” in our tribe. We share secrets and other confidential things. My tribe is never OBLIVIOUS about each other. We know each other 100%. In fact, we are all SPECULATIVE with one another because we know how we would act with certain events, like when someone says something stupid, we know what someone would say in response. We would even slap each other if anyone say or do anything stupid without anyone getting mentally hurt. We have speculative minds that it's not serious. We are the best of friends that anyone would want to have. In my tribe, we are always down for anything. When we want to chill, everyone is down to go. No one is “catting” (ghetto slang for not going for certain excuses). We APPEASE each other with simple, positive words that bring us up when we’re down or struggling with something. My group is reckless, but not stupid. We care about education, but sometimes we do a lot of ignorant things. We are partners in crime. With so many influential things that my tribe have showed and given, my tribe makes me who I am today. We have no leader to look up to, but each other. We all have the position of NOBILITY in our group. No one is higher than anyone. We are equal to each other, which is why we love being together. Having common interests allowed us to create many one of kind things that none of us would ever think of individually.

  44. I do believe that everyone has tribe. I feel that everyone has a different purpose and contribution to society, some greater than others but everyone has a purpose, that's what i believe Honestly i would say my tribe is more of a Tupac Malcom X type of thing Im all about loving who you are and embracing yourself i feel like there is always an improvement for every race and culture and i think that everyone should know about where they came from and what contribution they had to the world, knowing those things will give you more clarity and understanding to why things happen and why they don't change i believe that there is a reason for everything and there is always room for improvement i feel that there is always room for improvement and some things that don't make sense to us we just sit there and let them happen we never ask the question of why because we are so use to doing things the way that they have always been done we don't even think twice about the things that we do everyday. With that being said my tribe is basically critical thinker people who stand for right and stand for change because after all if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. My tribe are people who think beyond what society wants to know and always wants to know why instead of where and what. My mentor Victor really started me on being in this tribe although ive always been a strong critical thinker.

  45. When I think of the tribe I would form part of I think of the people that have come and left my life they specially those who stayed, I think of some people who might not know me, people who a lot of us have heard of, induviduals who I can ralate to or have inspired me to become better at something,I also think of think of the people who I probably wouldn't like to be part my tribe.
    In my tribe I want to be as imperturbable as I can be because the people in itwill be people that I enjoy their precense, they dont necessarily need to be rakish just good people who I can share common interests and thoughts. Maybe even a little bit fatuous there's no need to be serious all the time but I do think it's important that the understand accept and even share my inveterate habits, like drawing, dancing, movies, books and specialy silence because I'm very quiet and once I can share silence with a person without it being awkward I'm confortable with them.
    In reality I really don't know who would be part of my tribe I have to say there's only a few who I know are already part of my tribe although I might only see them little and not talk to them as much I know my volutuous friend Lucero who I only see about once a moth is part of my tribe out of my friends she is the only one I'm convinced is part of my tribe from my friends as for family my grandma, my stepmom, my mom, my dad, and my cousin Vivian all form part of my tribe. I hardly ever see most of these memeber of my tribe but that's why I choose them because it doesn't matter how long I go missing them the fact that I miss them and everytime I see them I enjoy being with them that makes them part of my tribe people I want to keep in my life for a long-long time. Other people I would love to know and maybe make them part of my tribe are famous writters like Edgar Alan Poe, Artist like Frida Kahlo, actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and music bands and singers like imagine dragons, mumford and sons and the xx.

    A pack is a group of people who share the same goals and are pretty much alike in personality and share the same interests. a pack normally has a leader but my pack doesn't . we just relax and make sure we don't take charge of everyone. my pack is basically just athletes. not any kind of athletes but ones that want to succeed and will do anything to make that happen. we always have each others back and give each other advice when needed. we also have a high Integrity . we tend to at some occasions appease others by helping out but only to the people we think deserve it. my friends and I are highly judgmental with things involved in the media like sports and celebrities. just like me, my pack isn't very Oblivious with things happening around the unless they feel its in interest. we just tend to be reckless and focus on having fun don't really care about our nobility. we never worry about what other people think about us because that's what tend to change people in a bad way. there's so many things were speculative on like who's gonna make a professional team first and how big our pack is going to be the next few years.

  47. According to the given article above, a tribe is referred to as a group of people who have common interests and values and appreciate each other. After reading this article, it caused me to realize that the people I would normally surround myself around during school hours, my friends that I've hung out with for the past four years, are not considered my tribe. To be more specific, I realized that I did not share much in common with the members of this tribe. I did not belong in this "tribe".
    If I were to create a brand new tribe of my own, I would honestly have Walt Disney as the "chief" or head of the tribe. I cannot STRESS enough the great admiration I have for this man; his free-spirit, imagination, and his belief that there are not PARAMETERS in life - you create them. The members of this tribe would not only have a passion for thinking of wild stories and new adventures to add to the Disney collection, but we would also value education, respect for one another and would not ATTRIBUTE anyone for any wrongdoings. Instead of chastising our tribe members, we would help guide each other on the right path. For example, if it was rumored that one of our tribe members was involved with a COLLUSION, we would not rat them out to the authorities. We would instead start with consulting the person IMPLICATED with the collusion directly and if they were in fact involved, we would help them start over. Our tribe sticks together no matter what.
    Another significant element of our tribe is that we love music and dance. Not all members of the group have to be A+ performers, however, we would just all have a universal love of the beats and melodies.
    All in all, our tribe turns fantasy into reality.

  48. A “Tribe” for me is my family and friends because my family would be there to support me wont judge me and would be there when I need them with nothing in return and would be there to imperturbable me. Also because they know me so well that we can do anything and share the same things. Also my friends are apart of my tribe well the once that iv known for a long time because we had been together and had hang out. They would treats me and others with respect because being disrespectful is the harsh thing and you don’t always have to be in a bad mood and have a rakish look. Always happy and helping me when I need it and we will all just be there for each other. Having each others back and being inveterate with the same things we like. You don’t have to be voluptuous I don’t care how people look or dress that’s not important in my tribe all you have to do is be trustworthy, be there and just be yourself and not a fatuous person that don’t know what’s doing on in your life. Like the article said "Keep in mind that the people you hang out with will have a huge impact on every aspect of your life, from your level of income" that’s how real friends should be. People have different tribe and would have different opinions and ideas but for me the two more important would be family and friends.

  49. The dictionary definition of a tribe is a social division in a society consisting of communities linked through social, economic, or religious reasons. The tribe I seek for share three common qualities. First I want people who are leaders, I want EVERYONE in my tribe to be leaders. I stress this the most because a person should not be bossed around like a servant, a person should have total control of their life. Leaders are very significant since they are able to not only control, but they can make everyone better in a way. If my tribe are full of leaders than our abilities are maximized. Everyone will be helping each other and making everyone better, by either saying encouraging speeches or just by helping complete a task. Most leaders make great decisions, and they follow what is right, so the parameters in my tribe are loose, this will allow everyone’s talent to excel because they will not be caged in because of our loose parameters. We do not have to implicate anyone because everyone will be responsible for the things they do.The second quality I seek for is loyalty. Being loyal allows a person to be trusted easier. I should not have to worry about any collusion, since I am able to trust my tribe. I am certain that they will not talk bad about me or anyone else. In society today, trust is the hardest thing to gain since most people can not be trusted, either they will start rumors or tell lies about you. I do not want anyone that would ruin a solid friendship into my tribe. The final quality I look for is humbleness. Everyday we are given a chance to change the world, and make something out of our lives, I want people who realizes this and are thankful for it. The people I want in my tribe must be thankful they have each other to encourage them and they have people they could trust.
    Today, I only consider less than five people to be in my tribe. These friends in my tribe are leaders because they try to make something out of their lives and they help each other by making everyone feel happy when we are down, or by helping out on homework. The people I consider that are in my tribe right now are loyal they had my back for years. I attribute the success that happened in my life to them because they help get up when I have fallen.

  50. My tribe’s parameter will be small but will be a loving and a caring one. I will have my family and my close friends to be in my tribe so when I’m no longer with them they can give attribute to me for helping them out in life. I will have a set of rules in my tribe therefore no collusion will be caused inside my tribe. No one will be left out nor will I implicate towards a special person in my tribe. I will need this people in my tribe to help me out daily emotionally but as well physically. The people I choose will not cause me stress but joy that they will with me to guide me, or give me hope when I feel I have none. My tribe will enjoy live and will live in peace and harmony. Not everyone will be accepted into my tribe of peace because theirs always those that want to become close to you once you have something in life.

  51. A tribe is a group of people who share common interests with each other, as stated in the article above. It is like one big happy family that you love and care about. People who you can count on who shares all these cool interests with and relate to you in certain ways. These are the people are that can really bring you peace in mind.
    I have best friends who are oblivious to what a tribe actually is. I have many friends, but i can honestly say that only about two are apart of my tribe. They're not nobility over my other friends, but i just think that the two specific ones fit in my tribe better than any of my other friends.
    Others know who they relate to, what tribe they belong to, but i am not like that. I'm very picky to who i want in my life and even though there are a lot of people who share some common interests with me, i don't think they would be apart of my tribe, specifically. Though we do show each other integrity towards each other, it's not like i don't really like my other friends, but i just chose the certain specific ones who i know could share most of my interests and values with. Those are the two who bring me to appease.
    Some people are speculative about tribes and what they actually mean and i think that they should be aware of it, so that they know what tribe they're in and who fits in their tribe.

    My tribe is formed of a group of people who share inveterate interests and love for each other. One common interests my tribe has is that we all love soccer. Sharing the common hobby of playing soccer allows us to interact more through something we love, which then brings us closer. Altough, I share many common interests and hobbies with other people, I do not connsider all of them to be a part of my tribe. I have many friends, but not all of them are a part of my tribe. In a tribe each member cares for each other. Altough, they might make fatuous comments to each other at the end of the day they still love each other. For example, if one member is sad the other members would do anything and everything to cheer the person up. They would try to get this member to become imperturbable about the tough situation they just faced. They would also try to make a member appear rakish carrying style in order to get that voluptuous woman he wants. People who share common interests or are friends with each other wouldn't take their time to do that, therefore they aren't a member of your tribe. Every person belongs to only one tribe, the rest of the people who aren't in their tribe are just their friends or family. Friends and family are not the same thing as a tribe.

    Everyone has their own tribe, most people change on their tribe, they could be hanging out with one of their friends, and the next change their tribe or even try to appease one of their tribes, but thats how it works with them, some people look at having tribes differently or their very close friends, but In my tribe its my two friends Niza and Frida, at first i wasn't so close to Frida like i am to Niza, but as we all started hanging out more, we've became very close. At first it was oblivious that we were all going to become very good, close friends, because i'm usually always the quiet one when it comes to people i don't know very well. We were speculative with each other, but once we started becoming very close we were integrity with each other, and got comfortable with each other meaning that we started acting like weirdos around each other, and also have nobility. We have some respect for each other, but sometimes we can rude to each other, but playing around. Everyone has their own tribe, and they chose it and for me thats my tribe, the people i trust and can count on.

  54. After reading this article, a tribe to me would be called my closest friends and family. The definition of tribe in this article are those who can pick you up when you’re feeling low and also those who you can also get along with at all times. Within all my closest friends and family, we will become inveterate when compromising together because we are all so used to each other, that it makes sense that we could become an appropriate tribe.

    All of the members of the tribe that I would be connected with would remain imperturbable every step of the way. There would be absolutely no disrespect in the tribe just because one can become rakish. That would be very fatuous because then our tribe would not be very successful since we should all have similarities and accept all other’s flaws in the end. If everyone can accept the way, how people really are then the world could become a voluptuous place for all.

    Each person in the world have their own tribe which consists of people that are relate-able to them. Depending on the person the people in the tribe will be absolutely different compared to the tribe of another person. They could have Tupac in their tribe whereas the other person would have Biggie Smalls. It all depends on the person's persona.

    My tribe is a fierce and diverse group of people that in no way could be seen with each other. It just couldn't happen because my tribe consists of people like the A$AP Mob, N.W.A., Joker, Rorshach, and Spice 1. Can you imagine Spice 1 meeting the Joker? It would be an awkward moment, but they are apart of my tribe. When they're together instead of individual they become a part of me.

    The rakish A$AP Mob from Harlem are part of my tribe because of the way I correspond with their music. Their music just fits in with my persona. Every time I listen to one of their songs, I feel in my zone, and I get lost. They are a cool bunch of people who are from the streets, know the streets, grew up in the streets, but don't cross them if you don't want a black eye.

    It's the same with N.W.A. and A$AP Mob, both are from the same backgrounds, but they were popular in different eras. While A$AP Mob is modern and popular in the 2010's, N.W.A. was popular during the late 80's and 90's. Their gangster flow brought insight into how the ghetto lifestyle was. They also don't sugarcoat their lyrics, they'll tell you straight up. Which is why they're part of my tribe, because I'm not afraid to tell it how it is. You can say that I'm too blunt, but I don't care.

    The Joker and Rorshach became part of my tribe not too long ago, but they fit in just right. They both have an inveterate perspective on society. The Joker sees the world as corrupt and does not care to fix it. He also is fatuous when it comes to hurting people. He tends to always target the voluptuous Bruce Wayne or Batman because he is always in his way. While Rorshach is a vigilante, but his style of it is to hurt the unjust, it's only fair. He makes you pay for the crimes you've done and leaves no mercy. If justice is going to be served, then he's going to serve it on a cold spoon.

    Last, but not least is Spice 1, not only does his music inspire me to work harder, but he is also a Bay Area native. He is a real gangster, who has a twist of words that'll leave people looking fatuous. He is a new edition to my tribe because I didn't really start listening to him until a year ago, but he is one of the best additions. He provides insight on the Bay Area, ghetto, and the gangster life.

    All the provided people are part of my tribe for the reasons I've explained. They complete me and fill each of my personas. They let me enter my zone so that I accomplish everything needed. They also provide me to become imperturbable when needed. Without them, there is no me.

  56. The people who would be in my tribe would be people who are like me and who are not like me at all. As fatuous as that may sound it actually works. There will be people who are imperturbable and like to read books like me. On the other hand there will be people that have a very rakish sense of fashion. They will be the fashion police of the tribe. The women and girls would have an inveterate obsession for getting their nails done. And by no means least the people in the tribe will not care on your body type weather that be voluptuous or skinny. This is what my tribe would be like.

    Being able to surround yourself with individuals that allow you to bring out the best in yourself, individuals who make you feel as if you are truly cared for, and being able to show your true nature without having to worry about appeasing them is what I think a tribe is. Sure, this group of close-knit individuals may share common interests, but in my opinion, that is just a bonus on top of the bond that has already been created. Reading the article 'How To Build Your Tribe' has caused me to further speculate on qualities of a tribe member. To be able to depend members of your tribe, there must be a set of characteristics they possess, such as integrity, honesty, nobility, trustworthiness and respect. In addition to those characteristics, they mustn't be oblivious to the people around them, thinking of nobody but themselves.
    A tribe gives one a sense of belonging, and I can honestly say that I have only experienced that feeling for a short period of time with a few special individuals. I emphasize "a short period of time" because I did not realize my time with those individuals would be limited. In that short period of time with my 'tribe' I experienced what it felt like to have others put your best interests on their priority list. My tribe understood me, and I understood them. Their well-being was on the top of my priority list, as mine was on theirs. My tribe has brought out the best in me, and at the same time, seen the worst of me. It is the fact that we do not think any less of each other, no matter what has happened or is happening to you. Due to a series of unfortunate events, I have lost these very special individuals. I will always treasure our memories,as they have made me into the person I am today.

  58. A so called "tribe" for me does not necessarily have to be in blood relation with you. My perception of a tribe is the people who surround you and who love and care about you unconditionally. It's the people you don't have to try appease to win their admiration. People are oblivious to the fact that your tribe isn't the speculative people you feel uncomfortable with and have a constant need to satisfy and impress. An example of a tribe is me and my friends group called Gike Bang. We are not a gang, but a brotherhood or "tribe" that shares the love for fixed gear riding. We consider eachother family. As like other tribes we made a pact that we will keep our nobility and integrity in tact no matter what happens, and that is what I believe a true tribe is and should be.

    Edgar Allen Poe, Meursault and I decided to create a tribe of our won we are know as The Silent Ones we go the name the Silent ones, because in different occasions such as birthday parties, weddings and picnic we hardly speak , but when it comes to murder and funerals we can talk all day about it and our parameter is in his home were we write about our daily life of death. We also like to drink wine from Italy, because it clams us down before we start writing with no tears and no pain just drunk. Edgar Allen Poe was the head Chief and Meursault was his right hand man.

    Everyone attribute on us for people being depress and sad when we get into the party, it isn't our fault, we just think that parties are to joyful for us and we don't have time to full around and play we rather write of our pain and get drunk. One day Meursault decided to collusion a meeting without us knowing and he gathered more than one hundred people just to join our group, it was shocking to see these people who love death.

    These people implicate to their friends to join our group and next thing you know we have one thousand members, sadly their was a spy and that spy told the police a lie that we were going to kill children and mother to make our life horrible so they can write about it, the police raid our parameter and started shooting the place I ran to the back door and Poe and Meursault were shot right in front of me and got into a car and drove to the next city.

    I knew now that the stress of the other city were happy to get rid of us, yet I was the only member of the Silent Ones, so my job is to travel the world and to seek other people to join The Silent Ones, I was known as the seeker of death and I declared myself as the new chief of The Silent Ones.

  60. My tribe members are people who share a common interest and goal. My tribe member would be people that share a passion whether it is art, music, or views on life. These are people who wouldn't have the same personality or even think similar because it gives everyone in the tribe different points of view and can get different insights on one subject. My tribe will have a COLLUSION that we will not second guess ourselves and we will STRESS over things that cannot be undone like the past. Some of the ATTRIBUTES in my tribe will be carefree, confidence, and acceptance. We will push any PARAMETERS that are in the way of the road of success. A tribe IMPLICATE that we have something connected more deep than a favorite song also, we would have to all connect in a mental level so we can further help find or perfect our passion of music, art, or life. And in the end when we achieve our goals we would create a COLLUSION that we would pass the torch down to those who are willing to get where they want in life with a little help from peers and get rid of second guessing in life.

    A tribe is a group that consists of a persons closest family members and friends. It isn't hard to figure out who your tribe is, these people are the people you can beyourself with without having to be someone else in order to appease them. It isn't about your nobility or what you own. The people in your tribe are there to support you and accept you the way you are.

    Most of the people I hang around I would consider my "tribe" , the integrity given from each and everyone of them makes me want them to stay by my side longer. I've been part of a tribe for four years now. We are all different but some what alike in a way. It is always speculative what we do when we are together. We are all full of joy and laughter but when I comes to getting things done we get to it. We encourage one another with our goals and are in hope of helping the succeed. For example, one of the members of my tribe has a heart for singing. She has a huge affinity towards it but she never had the nerve to let her voice out to others. In 7th grade we forced her to join the talent show and since she's been complimented by her voice daily and now she's on the road to auditioning for X-factor.

    It may be oblivious to others about what they may consider their tribe to be but all you are really looking for are the people who make you happy. Yet its not just about the people who stayed with you throughout everything its also the people who were once part of the tribe because like it or not they once made you happy.

    A tribe is a grou of people who you are closest to or have an impact on your life, such as family members, friends, or people who you look up to and motivate you. In order to have the most voluptuous group in which you can be yourself, you must start by adding people who bring different emotions to your life.

    If your group is inveterate, the group may not be as exciting as possible. That will be fatuous and your tribe will have no point to it. The first person I wojld choose is jackie robinson. He was a rakish man who fought through hard times to do what he loves. That shows perseverance in him and he would keep everyone motivated to never give up. He would always be imperturbable even thoughout deadly situations.

    The last person id have in my tribe is kevin hart. Even though he's about 3'6 he would keep everyone in a good mood with laughter and we could stay as close as possible to eachother. Making jokes will bring a happy emotion to block out negative thoughts and no stress will occur.

    With my tribe I feel that the different personalities and emotions will give us the power to stay strong through difficult times. Tribes are very important to bring people together and learn how to deal with other habits.

    My tribe. My tribe is no tribe that is to be labeled as people who are known of the MOBILTY status. For the longest time i'd suffer from the problem to find my main pack. I mean its easy to make friends but if you think about it those "friends" may mean nothing to you in the back of your mind and maybe theirs. Honestly people don't need a large amount of friends, there just made to APPEASE you in certain times of your life. Those are OBLIVIOUS to what they truly want. I was one of those people for the longest time not being able to capture my own INTEGRITY and theme to my time being. That soon changed.
    Once it came to the 10th grade I had something to fall back on, not to be SPECULATIVE but my bros were my calling. They have changed my perspectives on many things and have became my pack. We all have are many different characteristics but what we all have in common is that we are humorous, and respect each other in our own way. We all have each others back. This pack I claim is known as gike bang. But someone that has always been in my pack since the 6th grade is my brother Paul Gerrila, from good to bad we always gonna be bro's.

  65. so the people in my tribe would be my friends and family.friends that behave in a rakish manner or fatuous actions.friends that know when to work and know when to play. having my friends in my tribe is my tribe because having friends exposes me to different people with differentiated skills. having a tribe of them will give me a tribe of multiple skilled people. i can have one that's good with numbers while you have someone that has drawing skills. having family in my tribe is big because family knows who are you and also know your friends. family would either help keep the morale up or with there experience can help out other tribe members. seeing some parents have a inveterate hobby of making sure everyone is behaving that can help with keeping the tribe controlled and not have it drift into chaos. having this combination of people in my tribe would make it thrive and be voluptuous in the future and have it give its 110%

  66. Within your group of rakish high school friends there will always be conflict, whether it is announced or not. You can call somebody one of your closest friends but you will always feel in competition with them or even rejected at times. You can feel pressured but you would never be able to voice it because you as a human being you have the innate desire to feel accepted. If your group of friends or associates makes you feel accepted and cool, no matter the circumstances you will most likely not challenge it, even though friendships are not imperturbable. As I teenager I typically find friendships based on inveterate things I do or interests I share with somebody, even if they are fatuous. Finding your tribe would be an uphill battle. Your tribe would have to consist of people that show you unconditional love. People that understand you and grow with you. People that don't try to lead you down a detrimental path, but one full of intellectual growth and maturity. Also it should consist of people who make you comfortable and equal. Your tribe should also include people who can help you tackle your insecurities and foster your confidence. My tribe you have people who bounce off of each others positive reinforcements and understanding advice. My ideal tribe would have a balance of people who are all beautifully unique but that are able to mesh together harmoniously.

  67. A question hardly brought up in relation to 'who makes your tribe?' is who are your real friends? If I don't include my friends into my tribe, are they really my friends? Can they be compatible with me on a personal level? In saying that, who's in my tribe?

    My first selection would be my friend in Canada, Vithursun Yugadeva. Have we met in real life? No, never, but have we connected with each other? Yes, we actually have. I understand the internet is a vast, rakish, intangible thing where make-believe is sometimes the only thing that can come from it, but connecting with someone on a personal level is a strong feeling that your mind and spirit can determine at a pin drop. I'm an inveterate internet user (and somewhat of a geek) so I have no shame in saying I met him on a multi-player game. We've known each other for maybe a year or so now, and we've grown pretty strong together. We've got our own jokes, our own humor, we know what each other thinks, and the guy's a saint apart from the influence of hardened gamers. He's basically a brother from another mother.

    My other tribal member would have to be my friend Kenneth Padilla, whom I've known for a number of years (12 years and counting), ever since we met in Kindergarten. We've only grown closer, being raised in a Catholic school together. We learned to love everything and everyone for whom they were and their differences. We've excelled and faltered together, lived through our voluptuous lives together as almost nearly brothers, we've survived the struggles of switching to the public school system, we've watched each other experience our young lives. Just having him by my side for over 12 years gives him the right to be apart of my tribe. He's calm and imperturbable, never gets mad at anything. He's been a best friend for as long as I can remember, and I always appreciate his company.

    There is no other person allowed in my tribe. Is it selfish to exclude my family? No, because it's MY tribe *I say, with a grin* and I can put whoever I want in it. But a good question is, why only three? It seems fatuous to only have a tribe of 3, but I don't remember there being the 'Four amigos'...

  68. My tribe the people i surround my self with my PARAMETER to success are the force that keep me going each day. I consider my tribe very positive and influencing in the best manor. The ATTRIBUTE of my situation is if your always negative i feel you cannot be in my tribe. If someone in your tribe, your group of friends is there for popularity and not for you then they have to go. If one of your friends is involved with a COLLUSION then they have to go with out a doubt. If people in my tribe do something wrong and then proceed to IMPLICATE it was me they are not suitable members of my tribe. The STRESS factor is choosing which of your friends would really fit into your tribe, and who will help you. -Daniel Dillman

    I have a specific group of individuals that would be allowed to be in my tribe. Yes, i would bring my family and friends but, not all of them. When it comes to my family, some of them are very rakish and play around to much. If i allow them to be in my tribe, hey may just cause trouble and ruin eerything. I will only bring those who can help in the long run. Some friends i have are exactly the same as my family members. They are very rakish and like to goof off. And some have some kind of fatuous and inveterate addiction. Some are addicted to drugs and drinking. This may hold back a tribe especially if you keep those things away from them because they can start going crazy like some do in several movies. In my tribe, i would like them to be imperturbable because they wouldnt care about many things. As long as they dont mess anything up then they could be in the tribe. But besides the family and friends, i would allow a famous an inventor to be in the tribe, because they can create a new invention that will help the future. I wouldnt bring some voluptuous girl for entertainment and love. I want people that can help me later on in a big way.

  70. In life, everyone will have friends that come and go. It is our choice to determine whom we allow into our lives and who doesn’t. I’ve hopped from group to group during middle school trying to find the right group of people to hang out with. I started off by hanging out with a group of girls that believed that there are no PARAMETERS in life. Oh boy was that the wrong group. I had to learn it the hard way. The way I IMPLICATED that I didn’t want to hang out with them was by ignoring them and hanging out with other people. When they finally figured it out all hell broke loose and they started drama. Then I met a different group now known as the John Muir crew. I felt like I was in the right “tribe” in 8th grade. However I was wrong. Once we hit high school everything changed, it seemed as a girl in the group was in charge of everything and ATTRIBUTE everyone to do something, or to go somewhere. I had enough and left. For a while I wasn’t part of a “tribe” I was fine on my own. Then I finally found the perfect “tribe” known as RG. We all got along so well, we are interested in the same things. We have each other’s backs when COLLUSION occurs. I cannot STRESS the importance of being apart of the right “tribe”.

    Like many other tribes my tribe should be people that have each others back.To be in my tribe honesty,respect,love,and having fun need to be characteristics of everyone.There should be at least 50 or more people in the tribe and everyone should like each other so that no dislikes anyone.Haters ar not allowed in my tribe and if someone want to join but doesn't like a particular person or persons in the tribe then we as a group will have to make the love eachother.As a tribe we would take trips,for example trips that we will take together to places that we all agree on and will all enjoy like to the movies, bowling, ice skating,etc.If in any time someone feels that someone or several people aren't not under the top things that everyone should have in common or that there is an issue then we would have a group metting.In this metting we will all discuss the issue and come up with a plan that will make it good for everyone.If there is not a plan then the people that are creating this issues would have to be dismissed out of the tribe.Also everyone has a voice in the tribe which means that if you have to say something say it dont just keep it inside. Most important we should all care for eachother.

    A tribe to me is considered a group or family that is typically gathered and bonded together as a whole or small community to talk and socialize about different subjects and also to be there for each other throughout thick and thin. My tribe would be mainly focused on close friends, family and peers that I could trust and that would be loyal to me and to everyone else. A tribe would typically include all kind of rakish behaviors and dashing styles since each person would have different qualities to offer to the group. Another focus on the tribe would have to be that the people would have to have an imperturbable composure to them so that nobody would feel rejected or upset at whatever reason or cause that it may be. Each person would have to an open experience about each person’s culture and experience there kind of foods and customs that they have. Each gathering would be called for a town meeting that would be based on different inveterate activities each family could offer that the whole community could do all together as a tribe. Each idea given would not be considered fatuous because each person on my tribe has to be open-minded to each person’s idea or even concern given to the meeting. Another ritual would be that each month there would be a festive party that would be sponsored by a family’s custom foods and that family would be responsible for providing all customary activities to do with their family’s traditions. In all each family would have a voluptuous and decadent time and would enjoy in all the whole experience provided in my tribe that is created.

      My tribe would consist of many different rakish people, that all fit together as one group. My tribe would all be very close and each one of us will make sure everyone in the tribe is okay. Our tribe will be very unique and interesting because you never know what might happen and who may try to harm our tribe. It could be a fatuous or imperturbable one-day and totally opposite the next .It doesn’t matter thought cause the only thing that matters is being with my tribe.
      The people in my tribe will be the people who support me the most and not only support me but everyone around me. I would have some family in my tribe who would keep me motivated. We all need to share a common interest although we may disagree on many things I wont have a problem with it because I am an imperturbable person. Overall my tribe would be not only my biggest fans but their own fans.

    People in my tribe would be decided by common key elements and inveterates as me. Tribe members aren't just freinds because I have freinds who I don't have alot in common with. My tribe memebers would bee rakish, impertuable, and have a sense of humor.
    They would very fatuos and joke a lot, always calm and long tempered. They wouldn't let small things upset them and they would find a lot of things funny.

    People in my tribe would also be interested in voluptuos girls, videogames, comedy, and shooting. They would love action, like laser tag, paintballing, bebe guns, and actual guns. They would also be athletic but lazy. Only Try if they have to.

    People in tribe are also very social and can get along wih various types of people. They would also know how and when to blend in and how and when to stand out. My tribe would consist of many types of people who have any similarities or anything to connect with me.

    My tribe will have an integrity that would be oblivious to my knowledge and it would not be speculative to my parents opinions. This tribe not only will appease my parents but it will also appease the people around me. My tribe would bring such nobility to each of its members. Not only we will have honesty but we are definitely going to have respect for each other. In my point of view my tribe will include people who want to be some one in this world, like Tupac Shakur and Philthy Rich. Not only this two people are rappers that would be in my tribe but they are two of my idols and role models. As far as Tupac made it in his life and even though I never got to meet him, he would fit my tribe for the reason that he brought hope to people and created good music with good messages that no one has ever made. I need people that will motivate and want to create a good change in this world. The way that Philthy Rich is that he is a bay area rapper that started from the bottom and now he is getting bigger and bigger. He wants to create a better lifestyle for his two kids and his motivation and success is getting him there. The main reason Philthy Rich would be in my tribe is that he is a hard worker and doesn't stop. Also, my tribe will need people are willing to keep it a hundred, I don't want drama and any lies. I rather have the truth than having hearing a lie and dealing with fake people, which I totally dislike. My tribe would be with people that want to success in life and have a better life than what our parents did. I want people that giving up and failure is not an option. People who want to go to the top that would be definitely in my tribe. Also, my tribe will have to share a sense for fashion such as for Jordan's, Nike's,LRG,and etc. I haven't found this tribe yet but one day I will and I am going to be enjoying my success with them.

  75. It takes time to really find your tribe. In middle school you think you are in your tribe but you are really not. Middle school is a place full of mystery, you are spending most of your time just trying to fit in and make sure that you don’t make a fool of yourself. Well that was my case. I constructed my parameter to look tough so I wouldn’t get pushed around. But the way I dressed implicated me to even more problems that got me suspended. I thought my tribe was a group of gang bangers, looking back I shared not even one interest with them. While they went out to smoke I stayed and finished homework. While they went to buy drugs I would go to church. While they were out punking people I was trying to figure out my future.
    I attribute myself for getting suspended. I drew stress towards me. Even though I wasn’t doing the same things that the group I hung out with, I was with them and dressing like them. I was using them more like a protection but I never thought that they were going to bring me problems. When I started high school I left those people behind. I started to be more focused in what I liked the most. I joined soccer and met friends that I really had something to talk about. And as the years went on through my high school years I met more people that I shared more interest with. I had more interesting conversations with them and they did not get me in trouble. There was never a collusion in my tribe. I have a lot of different tribes. I have a tribe for dancing, a tribe for sports, a tribe for Mexicans, a tribe for family, and most importantly a tribe with my bestrides where they all fit in these catagories.

  76. In my inveterate state, I have already developed a tribe based on my interests and relationships. While it may be fatuous for me to already have one at such an early stage in my life, I feel it is more beneficial for me to develop one so early because it allows me to be set for the rest of my life. My tribe is not one that is rakish, not full of big time sports athletes or voluptuous women, but rather the people in my life. The people that developed me to become the person I am today. My tribe is the people around me, the people that help me develop my character and personality. They can range from being the mere stranger that processes my order at the local Subway or it can be one of my best friends, Ken Li. These are the people that affect how I am in life and how I go about doing my business. While the amount of people in my tribe is not an imperturbable number, it remains one concept. It is my tribe that makes me, and it does not matter whether it is just 5 people or an entire city population, the fact of the matter is that they are what make me. I am a jigsaw puzzle, composed of pieces all around me that make me complete. It is the people of my life that are my tribe.

  77. Most people would consider persons who are in their tribe to be their best friends. They are the only people who they share a common interest with. Most people would believe that it is better to have friends and people that think alike in their tribe. One reason would be that it would be easier to get along with each other and everyone will appease each other.
    However, in my opinion it is better to have different ideas thrown at you. That way, with the help of everyone, you can have a bigger, enhanced, and improved plan that will most likely make more sense than your original idea. Having variety in your tribe will not kill you. It will help you because you can learn from one another. The integrity in my tribe will increase because everyone will speak their mind and they will not keep things from each other. People in your tribe will always try to pull you away from oblivious people. Different personalities are more than welcome to be in my tribe. Especially if nobility is one of their characteristics. Even though we think our tribe can help us out it is speculative.

    In my tribe, I feel as if I have to appease the members at time. Although, one benefit of my tribe is that we have Integrity towards each other. For example, if we're speculative about something we talk it out. We don't in a way to make
    sure we don't hurt each others feelings. If one of us are being oblivious then we make sure to tell each other.
    Our nobility is a variety of personalities. Maybe that's why we all get along so well. In my tribe we make sure to pick each other up when we're down. In a bad situation, we help each other out . We do sometimes have our ups and down, but at the end of the day the reason we are who we are is because of the tribes we are in . They are the reason of our troubles, success, sadness, and happiness.

    A Tribe is a very significant feature in this world. Its not only a group its more than that. It has special features that make it unique. A Tribe is very prideful. And a tribe will always have your backs or will be there when you need them.

    A Tribe would consist not only people that share mutual likes or personality but the fact that people with different personalities or likes can be together. A Tribe does not have to be Rakish as long as everyone respects each other for what they can do or present.

    In my tribe it wont be imperturbable it'll be active and wild. Knowing that i like to go out and have fun we will not be inveterate with being wild and having fun but we will not be imperturbable either. My tribe would be not only my family since they are already a part of my but my wrestling team. They will always have my back even if we don't have the same personality or share mutual likes. This is what makes our tribe voluptuous. The fact that we'd have each others back even if we don't like each other we are brought together to be determined and succeed together. We will not be fatuous and we will succeed as a tribe even through the hard work and struggles.

  80. My tribe would consist of only a small variety of people. It includes the people that influence my thoughts rather than my actions. The primary members of my tribe are some family members such as my father, mother, godfather, and grandmother. My father has been programing my mind to react quickly to certain situations for years and he has helped me think fast, control my instincts, and remain imperturbable when necessary. I don’t regret learning the lessons that he has taught me. My mother has always been my father balance because she has more of a caring and loving attitude. However, this must be earned and she has taught me to adopt this rule as well. My godfather has always taught valuable lessons that apply to a lot of life situations but primarily, that you’re family is your strongest weapon and defense so one has to always protect them regardless of the fatuous laws if necessary. My grandmother has always taught me to keep a positive attitude even in the worst situations. All these people are in my tribe because they influence my ethics, values, and thoughts which make me who I am. I relate to them and they can relate to me. My tribe might not be very rakish, but it is what keeps me strong and built me up from day one. We don’t really have any inveterate traditions that keep us close, we’re actually very separate which is why most of us are very different. Although our styles different, I still consider them as parts of my tribe because our cores are still similar. Other members would include certain historical figures such Cesar Chavez because he valued loyalty, unity, and hard work which are some of my primary values as well. There are many people who could fit in my tribe, people with similar cores that I haven’t met yet, people with similar mind states. Some might have more voluptuous lifestyles because of these exact values. My tribe might not be united with each other however, but we are united with the people who prove to be loyal to us.

  81. Having a tribe can play both a good and bad role. You may have some people that wish the very best for you, and those who may have a tendency to out shine you, but in this tribe, they usually want what's best. You'll most likely need a parameter to help build a tribe in order for it to work successfully, or close to it. Sort of like society. The way the world is, we have rules and regulations and must abide by them. We all want to follow those rules in order to get to our destination and not end up somewhere we don't want to be. “One of the most fundamental human need is the need to belong” said by a psychologist, Abraham Maslow.

    I would stress to my tribe that they would all have successful goals no matter what the situation is. This would implicate that they can be successful and do whatever it is they need to do to continue being successful. With their start of being successful, I would have them go to the library every weekend and spend some time reading books, something they may be interested in or do a research, later giving them a book report just to get a feel of what they may be interested in. I wouldn't want to ever be the attribute of why they failed to get through society and its hardships such as collusions that may go on in the outside world.

    For rituals for us to come together at points, we would have get togethers like breakfast or lunch so we can bond and all have a good time and take a look at one another's perspectives and philisophical views on life.

  82. A tribe would be a hard group to select since they would be the people you would surround yourself in for the rest of your life. My tribe would be unique since no two tribes are the same. Music styles, fashion, literature, among other things would connect us and make us bond more. The tribe would be have meeting and have several rituals so we could bond. The parameters of our tribe would be simple we would value life and respect others. There would be stress on the fact that life is sacred and has no reason to be taken unless by natural causes. Many things may attribute to agruements but we would have ways to settle the disagreement peacefully. There would be no collusion in our tribe because no one would implicate each other and things would be peaceful.
    The people who would be apart of our group would be people like Bob Marley, Angelina Jolie, people who are working over seas to help third world countries and others who believe in trying to make our world a better place. The people in our tribe would live in equal housing so no one is richer then another. We would all live the same area and help each other maintain our area to be the clean environment we would all want to live in. To much similarities would not allow the people in the tribe to be individuals that is why they would be able to choose the style of their home along with how it is decorated. The people would have a sense of being an individual.
    The music played throughout the tribe's environment would be selected by the people so that they could enjoy there day. People would be assigned jobs based on their skills and passions but would be allowed to change occupations if they wanted to. We would have a tribal council which would be elected by the people every ten years and the same people may not serve more then once.
    We would be inspired by people like Bob Marley and Ghadi who want change and peace in the world. We would celebrate their lives in a festival each month and we would also have our members go to others and help for a certain period of time with whatever they may need.
    We would believe in peace and helping everything in our world while still looking for progress with in our own tribe.

  83. My tribe consists of many different ethnic groups. I'm happy to appease society by accepting people that are normally not accepted or judged. It takes integrity for someone to say that honestly, but I do. Don't be oblivious to the foreigners. Be real. One thing that is important in my tribe is that you have to be trustworthy. My tribe would be nothing without trust. Unlike some tribes, my tribes nobility won't be the center of our live.We need to be able to be free and live without limits. We will encourage most speculative people to entertain others and engage with other people.My tribes morals will be to accept everyone. "Accept the unaccepted." If, in the end, we do end up having nobility, we would have the nobility ran by superstars.

    I would consider my tribe as a group of people who except me for who I am and wont judge me. It would consist of people with integrity and people who strive for success like I do. I would say as of now, I surround myself with people who have the same mindset as me sand knowing that I already have people around me that agree with my mind set appeases me. It may be a sad thing to say that I don’t really consider family as my tribe as much as I think my friends or more of a tribe that surround me. I may even say that I was somewhat oblivious before this journal about knowing how my friends support me. They are a young and noble group of young women that contribute to my life in huge amounts. Each of my friends adds something to create my tribe. Out of the 4 people including me in the tribe, the things they provide are humor, intellect, caring, compassion, knowledge, wisdom, and the courage to keep striving for my goals and success I want to achieve . Honestly, I don’t know how I would be without the “tribe” I have now. I would be in some speculative situation and problems if I didn’t have the support of the people in my life. I’m glad that I have a group of people to call my own , a tribe called friendship and freedom.

  85. My tribe will only contain people that I have in common whit like doing stuff I enjoy doing like playing sports.You have to be nobility into playing soccer so you can be in the tribe.You cannot be speculative of playing soccer, you have to have some skill to be in the tribe.Also in the tribe only people are welcome if they are friends or family or if they don't annoy me. When you play soccer you have to be oblivious when playing soccer because you have to take it serious but also have fun because if you have fun you can appease your feelings and forget all the problems you have.The final thing you have to do to be in the tribe you have integrity because in the tribe there are no liars allowed, we are all honest to each other because when there are lies, there are problems and we don't want problems in the tribe.

  86. The tribe I'll create is one with profit motive mindsets, passionate about business and always hungry for knowledge. Together we would work on business plans and potentially start our own business which I predict will happen in the future, it's fun to speculate. The personalities in the tribe would be know the right times to be serious and when to have fun and balance out responsibilities and down time. Haven't you ever heard someone say, "opposites attract." Although the personalities are similar they will not be exactly the same because people who are exactly alike will never get along the people in the tribe will all contrast one or two psychographics than a person in the group. Take this for example, if one person in the tribe is shy at telling the truth that must be said, than another will be oblivious and straight forward.

    The people who are in the group would be like Steve Jobs, Mark Cuban, Damon Johnson, Alan Graves, who are all passionate about business, and where we can appease the eachothers stressful mindsets whenever we encounter a problem. Inspiration and reflection of one another will be motivated by the integrity from one antoher which also helps us structure our nobility as individuals. Our tribe would be open to motivated hardworkers and not to those who are oblivious when they dislike a particular situation. Overall, the tribe is masters of the speculative stock market.
