A day in China

There was a time in my life when I went to China town in the city and I felt out of my element. The materal culture was a lot different because they all had on different clothes. They had bright colors and dresses, while I was in my jeans and a hoodie. Also what we ate was alot differt they had truttles in a big tank that they killed and ate. Also they had duck hanging upside down that they killed and were for sale. It was a different and uncomfortable feeling if one didn't adjust to the culture.

Freeks and Geeks

This week in class we watched freaks and geeks. It is an older tv show that wasn't so popular in it's time but it is more relevant today. There was symbolic interactionism by her army coat. She put it on to change who she was and wanted to be someone els and fit into a new group but then at the end she took it off and danced and became herself again. There was also symbolic interactionism with "girl" the guys would say suck it up and not be a girl. Or say stop acting like a girl. In the show they unforced that girls were week and couldn't vogue for themselves. It really showed me to say things as Reynard and not to try and describe them with something els.

Our time

Our generation is made to what it is because of technology, media, and 9/11. I think that this are the main three because we have so much technology to do things for us that we will never know how to do things they knew how to do in the past. Also media has an effect because we watch it and just beleave it. We watch reality tv andwant our lives to be like theirs. The last is 9/11 because after that we as a society are scarred of another attack and worried about people. For example we look at someone of a different race or clothing choice and we judge them and think they are bad. We need to focus on things that are relevant.
