Tribes

When I look at Atchison, I see several "tribes" of people working together. To begin with, Benedictine. Sometimes I feel that BC is its own little town in Atchison. Many people, and I am definitely guilty, pretty much spend all of their time on campus only venturing off to visit Walmart. Within BC, there are also several tribes. The campus offers so many different extracurricular activities for students to be a part of and get involved.

I also feel that the businesses in the downtown area form a tribe. The owners work together to bring business to that area. It benefits each business when other businesses bring in customers because those customers might decide to "pop" into their stores as well. MGP forms another tribe. All the workers band together to finish their jobs. I cannot remember right now why they were on strike, but they obviously also band together when they believe they are being treated unfairly.
