This week in class we corrected our take home quizzes which took up a good part of our
class period. While correcting our quizzes we talked about suicide prevention month which is
September. We talked about how important it is to not be alone during this month. To not feel
as if you aren't as good as everyone else. You should be nice to others as well. You should
think about others and how they have things going on in their lives just as much as you do.
If you were rude to someone in a public setting, or really anywhere, without you knowing,
that could be their last straw. That could be the time they decide, hey, I am done. I can't
do this anymore, I have had enough. That is when they commit suicide.
This week we also watched a video on research methods such as experiment,
participant observation, survey, and existing sources. Which research method you
choose to use depends on how much information you want to obtain, also which method will
help you find the information that will be the most accurate for your study. Different people
used different methods depending on the information they needed to find or wanted to discover
more about. Along with the research methods, we learned about qualitative and quantitative
data. Qualitative data is more interactive, and if you find something else you want to ask a
question about part way through your research, you are able to bring it up. Quantitative data
you are able to get information on a lot of people at the same time and quickly.
late and see them harm themself.
This video I chose talks about the signs your family member or friend may show when they
are not feeling their self. If you notice a friend or family member acting very different you should
always ask them if they need someone to talk to or even want to go do something to get their
mind off things. Even if you're not sure always ask because it's better to ask them than to be too
 I chose this picture because it says you're not alone. Everyone i've ever known that suffers
from depression, always thinks they're alone. That they have to suffer everything alone. I 
make sure they know I am always there for them. I would never want  to lose a friend or family to suicide because they think they cannot talk to anyone because
they're embarrassed or because they think I don't care, and this picture represents that very well.
One way I can help society is to be nice to people around me. I can say hello to people,
hold the door open, or even just a smile when walking by someone to help brighten their day.
One way I could turn on society would be to yell at people to go away or to be rude to
others around me in public.
One thing society could do benefit my life would be to say nice things, or hold doors
open for me to be nice.

One thing society could do to hurt me would be to be rude to me and say mean things
to me.

Chapter 10 worksheet: essay A. People in society often tend to think that deviance refers to behaviors that everyone knows are wrong. Durkheim’s theory was that deviance is a necessary part of a successful society, he argued that it challenged peoples present views. An example of this would be when black students across the united states participated in sit-ins during the civil rights movement. I believe that a person is not born to be a criminal, they become one over time. I think that criminal acts as young children are an act of how they were raised, they may think that the actions they take that are wrong are fun for them to do or funny, also they could do it for attention. They could be wanting attention because maybe their parents don't give them very much attention so they think the only way to get their attention is to start getting into trouble, which will cause them to keep the acts up and in the future bring them into much greater trouble. The child could start out by...

9/28/18   Today in class we talked about Erikson, Piaget, and Kohlberg’s theories on aging for humans. The three people have different theories on the stages of development in life. Erik so n believes you never stop developing. He has 7 different stages unlike Kohlberg having three and  P iaget who believes  you ' re  done after about age 12. In my opin i on, I believe that Erikson ' s stages make more sense. I think you truly don’t ever stop dev elo ping because throughout your life you are supposed to make dec i sions whether those d eci sions include your career, your children's car e er, or even if you are going to have children or not.  Even when you think your life is done and you can just sit back  and  relax you  can't  because you still have duties like paying bills and things like that or family to watch grow up or raise them. They also say your brain doesn’t even  develop  till the ages of about 21-25. This is crazy...
