Polar Bear vs. Husky

When I was at my conference this video came up and some great conversations came from it, I would like you to watch it and respond, there is a connection between this and the things we do.

Hmmmm.... What I got from it was that the bears and the huskies kind of put aside their differences and decided that it would be much more cohesive if they just didn't think about one another as a different species, but as living things that are all the same. They played together without a care in the world. It's kind of telling us that we need to put aside our differences and just get along with one another. We all have different personalities, likes, and dislikes, but we're all people and we just need to accept one another for who we all are and not let it get in the way of working together as a team and having fun.

I think that this video means that when you are all doing the same thing such as rock climbing than it doesnt matter who you are because we are all just as expierienced as one another so you cant point out another persons differences.

I did learn a lot from this video. I realized that everyone has the potential to get along. The polar bear, a natural predator--especially wild polar bears--and yet they play with the huskies without a care in the world. There are going to be some situations that seem absolutely hopeless in terms of working out, but this video proves that those are less hopeless than meets the eye. It's similar to us, and all of the things we do in class. We not only have to get along with people that you could never envision yourself getting along with, but also do more of what seems impossible. We all just have to enjoy the time we have together, but also make sure to take necessary precautions like were taken to in this video just in case anyone did get hurt.

I think that the polar bear and the huskies were able to work (or play) together even though they are two different animals and they were able to communicate even though they don't "speak" the same language. It was a neat thing to see. Thanks Mr. H!

POLAR BEARS AND HUSKIES ARE DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER...BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THEY DON'T CARE THEY GET ALONG... THEY PUT ASIDE THERE DIFFERENCES...JUST HOW WE DO...WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM!!

What I noticed was that it was two different species learning from one another so that they can work together to build a safe environment., It's kind of hard to live with one another or work with one another if you don't learn something about everyone, because everyone is different but we all have something in common as well. like polar bears and huskies they are both animals and learned to work and live together just like we hard to learn how to work with one another.

I thought this video was very interesting. No one would have probably thought that polar bears and a huskies would get along. I think that they looked past their differences and accepted each other. They do live in the same kind of environment. They were able to accept each other's differences. This video relates to what we're doing because no matter how different we are, we have to look past our differences and accept each other and work together.

loooooooooooooooooooolz this video is really cute. i like how the polar bears are trying to hug the doggies
anyways, i think this video pretty much says that different types of people, animals whatever can co-exist and develop real friendships.

This I think is showing that total opposites can get along just fine! Such as in class we can make a choice to stay away from the people that we don't like or we could get along with people even if we don't like them! We have to know and trust that the people that we don't like to hold the ropes the right way or tell us that some is wrong and that we shouldn't climb! Or we have to know that someone that is a different size is going to hold your weight on the wall if you fall. It becomes second nature in some ways. And another thing is that the beginning of that video was adorable! :)

As the man in the video said, the bear and huskies had understanding of one another. It's the same as our class. We all have to understand each other and adapt to each other's abilities. By doing so, we will all be able to work together and get along, just like the bears and huskies do in the video.

From this video I learned that when we are rock climbing, all we need to care about is teamwork. And we need to forget about our differences like the bears and the huskies and get along. So that we can concentrate more on what we are doing than what bothers us about the teamamtes and such because someone can really get hurt if we each don't take responsibility in this.

Even though the polar bears and the huskies are totally different species, when they have the same goals they could look past their differences.

if you are trying to acomplish the same goal, you have to work together no matter what/who you really are

watching this video and trying to relate it to our class brings two things to mind. first i think of how the huskies and the polar bears forget about how they are different but they also trust each other because one of them could begin to attack the other at any moment sort of how we have to trust each other in our climbing and repelling. I also think about how even though the man in the video is used to living in this enviroment, he still has to be careful around the polar bears and get them in trouble when they get to close to him. sort of how in class even though we are comfortable with climbing and setting up we still have to check everything and pay attention no matter how many times we have done it.

I think that even though the bears and the huskies were completely different animals, they were much more similar than any would think and they got along. I think when we're climbing, we should be like the polar bears and the huskies because even though we're all different people, we're much more similar than we know and we should put our differences aside and have fun.

alright this was a random video, but i think that the message was that no matter how diffrernt you or another person can be, you can still get along and have a good relationship. This goes with our climbing because some people are ttly different from me. But it doesnt mean i cant see things thier way and be freinds and get along.

That was some beautiful footage. I think the title should be Polar Bear & Husky because they don't care that the other is of a different species and they love playing. This is how we work. We are very trusting. :)

Awww the puppies and bears are so cute! I thought it was really cute how they played together and were having fun.. I think thats good.. Its like us cause were all different but we get along (sometimes) and try have fun too.. even thought were different :)

What I got from this video was basically that even though the polar bears and huskies are completely different species, that they can get along well.
It's just like our class, filled with different kinds of people, but we all get along well (usually)

I've seen and heard some strange things about animals and things that have happened with them but this has to be the strangest thing yet. What I got out of this is that we all can coexist with each other despite our differences and that when we put our differences aside and open up to each other we can end up having a lot of fun together and learning a lot about each other.

this video was so adorable. i loved it! this video made me realize that even thought huskies and polar bears are completely different in most things they still get along and play. they try to exist as one so that they are able to have fun. it's a good lesson for people to learn because it happens all the time in nature, so why can't we humans do the same?

this video was very interesting. i think we can all learn a lot from what they are doing. It would be really cool if our class was able to do this
