Today in class we talked about culture. Culture depends a lot on where you live. For instance, if you live in Wisconsin your culture will consist of beer, cheese, and hunting rather than New York where your culture might consist of fancy dining, fancy clothes, and visits to the Statue of Liberty. We don’t think about how different our cultures are compared to everyone but if you’d pay attention it is very different from person to person. A girl in the class also had talked about how different Minnesota is from Wisconsin and they’re right next to each other. She had said that Wisconsin college students are a lot different from Minnesota college students, Wisconsin students tend to drink and party a lot more often. 
We also had touched on subcultures, which is a culture inside a larger culture. Examples of these would be people with religious groups or just having different interests. Another subculture could be language. Many people speak different languages. During this part of the lecture, we watched a coke commercial where they had 7 different women sing a part of America the Beautiful each in a different language. There were some posts about the commercial that was just terrible. People said that they would never buy coke products again because the commercial that they made was not “American.” The fact that people in this world have the courage to be so self-centered is ridiculous.  
 I liked this picture because it shows that we all need to learn to the world together to make the world go around. Too many people disagree on things that need to happen in life to make a better life for all, but they fight it because they don’t want other cultures to have a part in America.  
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGrVhM_Gi8k People think culture is different things like Quinceanera's or 16th birthday parties are all culture but really it depends on what your culture is. This video explains the different cultures and between different ethnic groups. 
I could help society by supporting other cultures and not just my own. 
I could hurt my society by not helping people to understand that different people have different cultures. 
Society could help me by understanding any cultural things I may have. 
Society could hurt me by not letting me have or do the cultural things I enjoy doing such as family Christmas.

09/14/18 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 ...

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...
