Today is Thursday September 7 and I have just read the assignment sheet that designates that I need to write a journal. Today I noticed that there are patterns on the roads we drive on. Crosses on the side of the road designate parking spots from Columbia through College on 8th street. Stoplights on busy corners are patterns. The idea that red means stop and green means go is also a pattern. Even no passing zones before large hills are patterns. Everything in our world can be traced by patterns. Another car related pattern is that all cars align on the right side on the road in America, yet in England they align on the left side. Adding to the differentiations between England and American, all distances are measured in miles, in America. The evolution of patterns is a very interested subject. A question for my teacher would be, "Were there always such patterns - in the beginning of time? Or were patterns developed with evolution?" I think this question can be answered by studying children. Do children automatically pick up and invent their own patterns, Yes. Does this mean that Adam and Eve probably had patterns that they followed in everyday life? I would have to lean on the yes side. This is enough reflection for one day; maybe in the near future we will touch on the subject of evolution and patterns again.
