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 learned when we are young to use the toilet when we have to go and our toilets sit at the level a chair does because we sit when we go or for men they stand sometimes, but this is just how it has always been for us.

This picture shows how we look up to whoever is our role model or hero in life and we follow in their shoes. We learn things in life as we grow because life is like a book to us.

This video shows Mongolians toilets and as you can see they are very different from American toilets.
I can help society by respecting other cultures just as much as I want them to respect mine.
I can hurt society by not respecting others cultures.
Society could help by respecting m culture as much as I respect others.

Society could hurt me by not respecting my culture as I respect theirs.

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...
