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.

Lets get married
All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was talking to my friend about weddings. She was telling me that is some parts of Latin America couples who want to get married have to get married in a court room and at a church for there marriage to be legal. This fact is called Culture Relativism. This is just one of the many facts about different cultures and that we might think its wired but its really not to them.
Hippies
All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was watching the movie Forrest Gump. Tn this movie when they are in the century 1960 they have a lot of hippies. Hippies don't really listen to what "the man" has to say. This movie really show what they did and how that acted to people.These hippies made there own way of life. And nobody really accepted them. This is called a counterculture.

Who we are
This is who we are. We are fast moving people and we never stop. We want the best and the newest things. We want a good education and a good job that pays well. We all want that dream house to live in. In the back of our minds we know were it is but we don't know how to get there. We all listened to music and all sorts but in America we stuck to Rock and Roll. It was a good had good classic hits. But most of us dream to be famous. We want to have all the fame all that money and all that power. To show the world that I'm better than you. This is what we have become.

Just why??
All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was watching my friends play Pokemon at school. I then was thinking oh yeah we all used to play that in the 90's but then it just died off. Why? Why do we love fads? We like something at first then we just get sick of it or even bored of it. At first we think well maybe we could make this into a fashion but at the end of it all it was just a bad idea. In 2010 the new thing was Silly band. The most pointless thing in the world but people wanted more and more of it. I want to know why we do this. I still don't get it. http://www.crazyfads.com/
Toilet Bowl
All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was watching TV. This Clorox commercial came on. It started to say all the names we us for the toilet. Then I found out that in Sociology this is called The Sapir Whorf Hypothesis. I don't really know why we have so many names for the toilet. But I do know that we have lots of words that have more than one meaning. We don't think about it as much because were used to saying it. If u went to another country or a different culture just ask how many words do you have for the word Toilet. http://www.adstorical.com/commercial/2788/clorox-toilet-bowl-cleaners-100-years-names/
