Sociological Life =]

Culture:
Culture is all around us, it is who i am and where my family is from and what my background is, it's who i am and who other people are too. Culture is walking down the street, or your neighbor who lives next door to you or down the street. We see culture everywhere we go. Culture is different for everybody culture is different from my house and my neighbors house, culture is also different at my school and my friends' school and it is also different from where i live and where other people live. Culture is all different everywhere but in different aspects they are the same too just in different parts of culture. What are the biggest influences in my life? Well i have many influences in my life including my parents, my boyfriend and of course the biggest part all of my friends. My parents dont reallyinfluence me in my academics they really aren't the stereotypical asian parents, my parents aren't strict at all they basically let me do whatever i want they just need to know where im going and where i am and what time all be home. they don't influence me in academics however they influence me a lot in my athletics.

Media:
Media is all around us, we can't escape from it from when we were little to now and in the future. the media has controlled our life since the day we were born especially tv media, the day we first watched television is the day media has influenced our life. From day one watching cartoons and movies we see that girls are very girly, and like makeup and dressing up and looking pretty, and boys are tough and ruggid and like to be dirty. The media has brainwashed our minds and now we think pink is for girls and blue is for boys. Girls can get dirty and play sports and guys can like to look good and shop why does that matter? Does the media really have to run our lives or can we choose the path we go towards?

Gender:
I know that im a girl and my brother is a boy. we know that pink is for girls and blue is for boys but does it really have to be like that. i like blue does that make me a boy no it doesn't. it doensn't matter what color you like it doesn't tell you what gender you are. the way we act and the person you are is the gender and person you are today and will be for the rest of your life.

Teens:
Teens now and teens back then were completely different. The eras have changed, we are the era who likes to make the money and definitely spend the money we work hard for. We want everything and we will do anything to get it. The era back then they didn't spend nearly as much as the new millenium of teens do now. There are very different types of teens, if you go to my school you can totally tell different teens and social groups. there are the typical popular kids, the jocks, the people who have the most friends, and all those type but we all talk to one another so why are there so many social groups why can't we all jsut be together?

Social Classes:
we have many different social classes in stevenson. we see different houses and we can associate where we can from and how wealthy a person is our vice versa. my town we have regular medium size houses, we have townhouses, mansions all different types but in a different area we just see townhouses and duplexes and ranches.

Crash

After watching the movie in Crash, I saw that racism is the biggest part of the whole movie it's just not the black and white picture we see so much more racism than we really think there is in the world. Even though there is so much racism in this movie in the end all the characters figure out that even though they are not all the same race or ethnicity they are all the same and one way or another they need help in some kind of way. We also see the different lives each character lives and how each character portrays one another and how stereotypical each character is or can be towards one another even though they know nothing about one another besides the fact that what we fill our minds with and how we think different races and ethnicities act and do.
