What I learned about Sociology was very surprising I didn't expect to learn so much about society before onto now. Well at first with the video of Sherry Turkle and how society cannot live without their cellphones. And how technology has made people isolate their self towards others and society. I had a picture that society was not interacting but i wasn't expecting as how it is now. And how back in the day people use to talk face to face it wasn't a problem. How technology has made a change in society the more it made realize it true.
I notice with ever chapter we did the media is always make what society is its the peer pressure. Sociology is pretty much us the human and our social behavior. And what society is surrounded in like with the norms and the class. I learned how many different class their is I thought I was in lower class but I notice that since my parents came to the united states. And they were a working in business which makes us in middle class. We did learn about class and the difference with in all those class which higher and which is lower. Another thing that caught my eyes is whatever your working show how much income you get which proves if they doing good in general. But if your a doctor or lawyer how your income is high making them upper class. But now if your retailer your in lower class.
Another thing that caught my eyes in sociology is with religion and culture is always reflected. How far will education take you what leads you to a good job. And how we learn things from our parents they lead us of how we will go. Another thing is when we do our blogs about people wanting to be someone there not towards society. With the video we watch of how women feel pressure in society to be a model. When the models. But leads to women not accepting who they are focusing on how everyone else thinks.
This class made me realize how society is viewed I Learned a lot about the difference in society. Race is a big topic we talk about especially between blacks and Hispanic had a hard time to get along. But that was in the past with segregation . How laws were reflected when they both back in the day didn't have the same right for somethings. Another talk about the experiment of Stanford of how he was testing people of they reaction of pretending like they did a crime to see the behaviors of humans in a prison. But many of those experimenters couldn't any more. Another experiment is when the teacher ask question to a student to test to see how many answer they get wrong so he get electric shock.
All these things we learned in this class was amazing I didn't expect to learn so many things in just four months. Sociology will always gave a lot of experiments of society is. With the history and how it is now it made notice that history takes it of how its actually viewed now. And i wont forget what I learned this class interesting topics that leads towards the whole world with class and religion Upper or lower and experiments sociology has open the doors towards history and I enjoy it.

Race and ethnicity chapter ten
This article is about how there was discrimination between blacks and Hispanics. The most popular are the american they had more control. They both blacks and white have different views when it comes to the studies with school and work. But yet again the Hispanics have not as much when it comes to school and employment. This tell us and relates towards social class like African american are lower class.The most crime rate would really point towards the blacks which points in the article and they have poor education and employment close to a very low income. In the article theirs a graph that show blacks and Hispanics rental rate during the 1989 to 2000's. And what it shows is that in rental between blacks and Hispanics and it has increased but in the 1989 but when it comes to 2000's it has decreased. Now it has grown in society there is not as much segregation as their was in the future.
Now in chapter ten this article can relates because it shows how power was really used with these to back ground they consider the blacks like they are not able to do better then Hispanics. But now everything is equal there might be parts now in society that doesnt reflect as bad as before. But its a better understanding of what happen and what a change it made in society now.

Global poverty/People like us/ chapter 9
In the article "The Use of Global Poverty" it tells us how people and in society live in different class. And how poverty is function with Americans for example the benefits between the poor and the rich people. There are different prospective that tells us about poverty and wealthy towards the western companies. And gender is reflected towards genders and how men get paid more then women do. Other countries produce low production the low wadges the are not high in there education end up being jobless. They point out the poor countries are china and Nigeria but china growing because the production of gas that they produce. The whole thing is related towards the world poverty and how the lower class brings towards the western production.
What can relate towards the article of The Use of Global Poverty is the video of People like Us: Social Class of Society. How it shows and proves and describes how class is in america and how we are surround in society. For Americans now having money it means having freedom to create your own living which proves where you fit in. This video proves how different people feel like with having family members or relatives in higher classes. Some in the middle class feel like people that are in higher class they feel ignored. When they feel like they do not bring the society attention like their not happy of where they are and where they stand. There was a women there who was in a lower class that try to change her self to a upper classes. Society always wanting to be accepted by everyone because you want to fit in with everyone else.
All this class leads towards everyone background with their family and education and also culture. Whatever you grow as a child especially your family background is what kind of class you are in the upper class or the lower class. Everyone is not the same but it proves who you are and what you are surrounded in society. In chapter nine of class and global inequality explains how Marx and Weber went through power in society.
