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 preferred with your assignments, notes, and homework. The weak in our society will be eaten first because they have no power against the bigger people in life. Rich people will take all the money they can because they think they deserve it because they're wealthy. Gender, nationality, eye color are all roles you have when you are born because you can't choose them, this is what you're born into. Sexuality has a high anarchy in our society because if you decide you are gay then society is against you and you are left out because you are not what others think is normal.  
This picture shows a good amount of the roles people play in life.

Society could help me by playing their roles the way they are supposed to. Like doctors are meant to save lives not watch people die. 
Society could hurt me by not playing their roles. Construction workers could leave roads bad and I could get in an accident.  
I could help society by playing my role in life the way it is supposed to be. 
I could hurt society by not playing my part in our society.

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...
