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!!!"
