Court/ Jail Time

1) In the courtroom for the double murder trial the prosecutor asked a lot of question to the man on the stand. The man on the stand was there that day we worked with the evidence team. The prosecutor was repeating a  lot of question to make sure he was telling it right. The whole room seemed really tense when the stared the slid show of the victims.
2) This was a criminal crime
3)Felony
4) The accused race was Caucasian

5)Control Theory because the accused has an absence of morals and doesn't believe that someone has control over them.
  Jail
1)The jail system is just a holding place until they accused has a trial date then the go to prison. You first get searched then asked if you have any problem, photo, new uniform, and then your cell.
2) The majority of the people here were of the Hispanic and Caucasian race
3)Rehabilitation because they are trying to help them and show that you don't want to end up here but most of them come back.
4)Differential Association because most of the people in jail are not first timers
5) Jail is a better way to prevent deviance in society
6) When we passed by were in inmates were in gym it was really intimidating and scary. The cells looked super small and it felt like we were at a zoo watching them. I felt bad because I saw a lot of young people there. Its horrible.

Senior Pranks

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was talking to my sisters friend about Senior Pranks. As a student  we look forward to see what the Senior are going to do at the end of the year. One year they glued the door another they had skateboards in the hall way. But the people who did these pranks didn't walk at graduation because they were being deviant.  They went against what the deans said and did there prank anyway. But when you do a Senior prank every year when that Senior class goes why do the deans freak out about it so much. They know its going to happen. But when these kids are being deviant or not doing what society wants them to do is it all ways a bad thing? Because Senior pranks can be fun till the point when someone get hurt. So should we still keep this tradition going?

Jail time

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was watching the movie Shawshank Redemption.  Once you come to prison you must learn new rules. In this movie and guy named Andy had to learn how to live in prison and what to do and who to talk to. You might have to suck up to people to get your way. But in prison you have to be told when to eat, what to wear, when to go outside, and when to sleep. Resocialization is a key part in living in prison. You have to get used to the fact that your their and these people with you, might not like you. You have to learn their rules. And you have to conform to that new life.

Gender Roles

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was looking at the Toys R Us catalog. I know what is a teenager doing looking at that. Well I just like thinking back to the "good old days" The days of fun and they days of freedom. But as I was looking at the boy part and the girl part of the book it kinda made me mad.Boys had lawn mowers while girls had shopping carts. Girls had kitchens while boys had grills. Why does the world want to keep these gender roles so badly. Men and Women and not just to different groups we can do the same thing and we can even act the same way. Who cares. We should all just stop showing are kids at a young age that they should act like this. We have all moved on to something better.

Chiness Mother

She is so messing up her kids. When I was reading this I couldnt tell if people really do this. Because this is to much. She is messing up her kids by showing them they can't be alone. They wont learn anything if you keep breathing down there necks about everything in there life.

When you use "helicopter" parenting you make a very bad example for you kids. If they hate that your always around they might not to speak up. And if they don't do that how are they going to stand for what they believe in when they are older. Cooley had the idea of the Looking Glass Self and my these kids see themselves they will only see there parents and not who they truly should be. This is just a very bad idea.

BK trip

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was doing my folkway for class. For my folkway I went with a group of friends to Burger King to the drive in. But we didn't have a car so we took a wagon. We scooted up to the box were you order. And it was just a normal order. He told me to pull up to the first window. So I did and he looked at us and asked "You know your in a wagon right?" We are like yes we know =) We gave him the money and pulled up the the 2nd window for our food. This guy scared me I didn't know if he was going to yell at us or not give us or food. But he just smiled and said have a nice night. And as we scooted of I over heard his mumble to his coworker. He said "Ok did you see that, I don't know if that just happend. What the HECK!!!"

Willy Wonka

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was flipping through the tv and Willy Wonka was on. I was think about how in this newer movie they used his father as a toothpaste man. He put on the caps of the toothpaste bottles. And then he got fired because of the new Technology came in and took his job. This new technology replaced lots of people. But a way for him to get his job back is to lean about that new technology and he could be they guy who fixed it.
