Blake Gillespie--habitat v. habituse

As we discussed early on in the semester, we live in two different environments. The habitat is the place in which we live, and the habituse is the way in which we live in our habitat. I think the habituse can be difficult for some people sometimes. This situation reminds of the movie City Slickers in which Daniel Stern and Billy Crystal are taken from their cushy city lives to live out on the west as cowboys. Though they struggled for some time, eventually they became one with the west. I think some people do not take this time to adapt when in new situations. They are so accustomed to their comfort zone, and fail to realize what else is around them. We need to take time to adapt as well as live.
