Week 1: 9/7/18

In chapter 7 of our textbook we talked about the different social groups. A social group is two or
more people who identify with and interact with one another. There are two different types of social
groups. One is a primary group and the other is a secondary group. Along with social grouping we
have social diversity, which classifies people by race, class, and gender. They also outline mass
media and social media. Mass media is the development of social media. We learned that mass
media was first invented back when the printing press came along when the print began to use
transmitted signals. Social media is so important now a days that it is a major part of our culture.
They also talk about the importance of technology for most jobs these days. We use email, facebook,
google, almost every search engine for local jobs because that is now the only way you can
communicate with your coworkers or even your boss. Social media takes up a major part of our
social lives but you really need to use it to keep up with society because without it you are out of a
lot of information. Social media was first used with FDR when he gave fireside chats to help ed the
great depression.
Mass Media- means for transmitting information from a single source to a vast number of people.
Social Group- two or more people who identify with and interact with one another.
Primary Group- a group help together ny intimate, face-to-face relationships, formed by family
and environmental associations and regarded as basic to social life and culture.


This picture is showing that our world revolves around society.


This video explains well how social media is taking over our society. It points out that kids spend
more time on electronic devices than playing outside now more than ever before. Also how social
media has become a drug to us. We are obsessed with our phones and checking facebook, twitter,
instagram, ect as a normal thing.


One thing I can do to benefit myself and society is to use my phone only when necessary for work,
school, etc.
In a negative way I would affect society is to constantly be on my phone, computer, any electronic
device and encourage others to do the same.
Society can make electronics less common and only for the use of certain things to affect me in a
positive way.

In a negative way society could continue to make electronics a big thing a keep them more expensive
to the point you need them for everything you or I do in our daily life.

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...
