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.

10/5/18   Today in class we watched a  video  where they asked what kids think family is.  They're  answers were things like married parents, live together, do activities together. This video was shown to us because family is the biggest component of socialization.    In  everyday  life people act on a stage to get your vote, money. Everyone is performing every day of their  life .  Your  behavior status is your role in the play. If people don’t earn their  title  in our  society  you will get a bad title. You must earn your role in the play, a teacher will play her role by doing her job, by teaching in school every day. All the roles in our  society  with act out the script in our lives. You need to build up  your confidence in our society to play your role. Your role is also affected by your status in our society, you go to  school,  so you need to come to  class...

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...

10/2/18   In class today, students went in front of the class and shared their life map projects to explain their life. They also told us about the theories that they applied to their life map stops.  We learned about the important parts in some of the students in the  class's  lives. Many had said that their birth, some birthdays, and schooling were important parts of their lives. Some had vacations on their life map as well. In my life map my 10 important stops were my birth, my sister being born, family  vacation  to  Florida , my  parents'  divorce, moving into a new house, new school, I broke some bones, 16 th  birthday, 18 th  birthday, graduation, and starting college.    We talked about how in different school stages, such as college and high school, there are different ways of learning in class and how we need to figure some things out on our own at some points in our life.    We also watch...
