This week in class we talked about cultural diversity. This is when there is many different
cultures in a society. America has a multicultural society that includes African, Native American,
Asian, Polynesian, and Latin American people. Couterculturaism is when the norms come into play.
We have people who are norms, which are usual or normal around society and then people wwho aren't norms and people look at them differently because they don't do the exact things that the “norms” do.
We also talked about the difference between something that is discovered and something that is
invented. The internet is invented while an x-ray is discovered. An invention is something that is
created or designed while something discovered is something that is unexpectedly found or found
in the course of a search. The x-ray was found while Wilhelm Roentgen was conducting an
experiment and then discovered a ray that he did not plan to find.
We then discussed in class about women having many children because their religion is
against birth control. The Duggar family had 20 kids because their family was against birth control.
In my opinion, I think birth control is just a way of saying you don't want to have kids until you're
ready, or financially stable at least. Some religions see it as you’re not letting god show you what
his plan is for you but why would his plan be for you to go into so much debt because you can’t
afford the kid you gave birth to because of an accidental pregnancy. We also talked about the time
when a child is actually alive. Is it when they have their first heartbeat or when the sperm and egg
first meet? I honestly don't know the real answer to this question but I would probably think that it is
when the child has its first heartbeat, mainly because after death are you still alive until your body is
rotted away or right when your heartbeat leaves your body? You don't keep a loved one at your house
to eat dinner or watch tv with you after their soul has left their body.
In this video, he defines multiculturalism and explains his opinion on whether or not people who
come to our country to leave theirs should be able to continue their own culture or be forced to
learn our culture here.
Picture: This picture is a group of words such as diversity, communication, together, group
and many others that define the meaning of multiculturalism.
One way I can help society is to accept people's culture and respect their culture as much
as I want them to respect mine.
One thing I could do to hurt society would be to disrespect others cultures by telling them
that it is stupid.
One thing society could do for me would be to respect my culture as much as they respect
their own.

One thing society could do to hurt me would make me learn some other culture saying its the
only one that can be a culture.

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...
