Learning and Action

This chapter i felt was way more interesting than the rest, maybe because i can relate to a lot of what Gee was pointing out. Especially with the cultural models, because i find that sometimes we all are put into "groups" and single out other groups. "People are good people when they are acting so as to help their group" this is so true. so in contrast, with learning when we are taught something we want more of a hands on approach and then we 'throw it up' and teach it to other people in our group. We as an individual believe in certain things and ways of living. So when Gee says that social groups do not pay much attention to their cultural models, i would have to dissagree, in our everyday lives we see and hear about culutres everday. video games are their own culture.
