Just last week I was watching a show called The Colony. as i was watching this, i was wondering how a group of completely different people from completely different backgrounds are able to live in an post-apocalyptic event. they were tested on both their survival skills, and their ability to communicate with each other to live a maintainable life as a "Colony". i connected each of the characters in the show to the the stereotypes that i had read in an article called "Living The Image" by Andrew P. Smiler. He mentions different type of stereotypes and their behaviors. i was able to connect most of these stereotypes with the cast  in the show. i found it quite fascinating how we are in  a world of different people, yet we depend on everyone to contribute to each others survival. even on a small scale, people ranging from different social status' like from models to doctors, contractors to soldiers. i felt that i could connect with these people, as well as the stereotypes that Smiler notes in his article. its also shows us how ignorant we are of others, until a situation like this one shows us the reality of how much we need and rely on each other for survival. we are not lone wolves. we are a team. I also related this to other natural disasters that have been around for the past few years, and i notice that we the people only help each other when its too late, we wait until the action happens, then we try to find a reaction to fix it. we do not try to predict the action, simply because we cannot determine the future. all we can do is just to prepare ourselves for the future and hope that everything would go the right way. the Colony showed me that we all have the potential to live a better and more organized lifestyle, other than taking things for granted. Nugent mentions that we rely too much on our future that we do not try to acknowledge what the world is today.
