Today in class the main things we talked about were problems in our world and social media. In my
opinion, social media is a big problem in our world. People have become so caught up in their
electronic devices, social media, and overall technology that we forget about the real world around
us. People see Facebook, Instagram, snap chat all as ways to socialize when really they are just
thinking about themselves. I myself do use all of those things so i guess you could say i'm part of the
problem too, but what do you expect when that is what our world revolves around these days.
Everywhere you go people will ask you for your email to send you coupons or deals, why can't you
find those in news papers? Businesses have you like their pages on Facebook to see what upcoming
events they will be having. Over all social media is affecting relationships with others. People are more
rude than ever in my opinion. You don't see people being courteous anymore. People just want to
get where they're going and forget that they aren't the only one in this world. They are too busy on their
phones or laptops to even look up to say hi to someone they know. This is why I believe social  
media is a problem in our society.


This picture points out that all people do these days is sit on their phones. People sit around in
groups on their phones, maybe even texting each other instead of actually communicating with
each other.
The video points out how distracted people can be by social media on their phones. The child
gets hit by a car from being so distracted and even after that happens he still doesn’t look up from
his phone because he is so addicted to it.
One thing I can do to help society is to pay more attention to others rather than my phone.
One thing I can do to not help would be to be on my phone even more while in public.
One thing society can do to help is to be on their phones less and communicate in public places.
One thing society can do to not help would be to be rude or to continue to look at their phone when
I’m talking to them.

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...

Today in class we talked about how the whole world becomes your book in life. You start as a young child first born seeing the world for the first time, everything is new to you. You continue to grow throughout the ages of your life and learn something new almost every day. You learn how to talk, how to act, how to do everything you are able to do now in your life. How you grow in your life all depends on the culture you grow up in. Different cultures have ways of doing everything they do. We watched a video on Mongolians and they have toilets that are in the ground that people squat over just because that is the way they have always done it. To them it isn’t weird for people to see children squatting down in public to pee in random places, this is just how they were raised in their culture. As part of culture, we think these are weird ways of doing things. We weren't raised in that culture so we find it odd. In the united states, or even just Wisconsin for that matter we are lear...
