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. Erikson believes you never stop developing. He has 7 different stages unlike Kohlberg having three and Piaget who believes you're done after about age 12. In my opinion, I believe that Erikson's stages make more sense. I think you truly don’t ever stop developing because throughout your life you are supposed to make decisions whether those decisions include your career, your children's career, 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 to believe because you are expected to make the biggest choices of your life by the time you are even 18. You are expected to choose your career, how you're going to live, and many other decisions that are hard to decide.

I could help society by choosing a career that will help society. Right now, I am thinking nursing and know that society and the worlds need for more nurses. 
I could hurt society by not choosing a career that is helpful for it. 
Society could help me by showing the good things to being a nurse. 
Society could hurt me by not helping me find a good job that I like.

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...

Week 1: 9/4/18 In week one of our sociology class we learned that sociology is the systematic study of human society. We got to know our classmates and professor in ways that you might not in other college classes. We learned that sociology is much like science but relies on research to understand. Sociology is what guides people's thoughts or in other words explains how society influences our life choices. We also learned that society is the main cause of most problems in our world. The main reason for sociology is to generate society. For a sociologist to transform society they must look at the bigger picture using a global perspective which is why depending on which country you live in you are said to live in a high, middle, or low-income counties. These are important because where we live shapes the life we live and other countries’ actions shape our way of life. Another thing I found interesting about this chapter was positivism , or a scientific approach to ...
