cultural universals in society....

A cultural Universal that its all around in society is language.I Say this because theirs a lot off people in The American society that speak different languages and they may know how to communicate with others or they may not.If they are struggling communicating with someone they find their way to communicate by doing signs with their hands or by  pointing to things.This is a cultural universal because everyone in society has a language they speak or share with others by having the language in common.

In my work place, there was a Spanish  lady who didn't know how to speak English so when Americans would got buy things at my job she didn't know how to communicate with them so she would tell me to tell them the amount of money they would own or if they had a question i would answer them back.If i wasn't there she would try to make signs to communicate with them.So a cultural universal is taken place at my job because everyone in there have a language that they speak.

Culture Clash Day.... Jk

Today i will be talking about culture clash. Culture class is when two different cultures meet and cannot interact successfully.They will need to relearn that culture in order to become successful to interact with each others.This is a term that i learned this week at my class of sociology.Well an example of a culture class is when the Hispanics come to America and they need to learn the American culture in order to become successfully in America and to be able to succeed.Also they have to cooperate with each others to learn the American culture for example they need to learn the Americans language in order to communicate with the people in America also they need to be part of the American culture so they aren't seen as strangers and weirdos or making themselves part of an out group. Also if the Hispanics follow some traditions or beliefs/ideas of the American culture they can become part of in group.By Hispanics cooperating and the Americans too by working together and helping each others on their struggles they can both make everything easier  for each others and get along and become friends so both cultures interact with each others and become successfully at America.

This example i gave relates to my class of sociology because theirs two cultures that are cooperating to interact with each other to become successful, but  if they don't do nothing then they will never get along and their will be problems everywhere and disagreements in both cultures.

While sitting on the bus next to a weird Kid......

Everyday i would go on the bus to school when i was a child. There was this weird kid  in the bus that would do  crazy, weird things that would  even gross out other children.I still remember his name, his name was Chris and he was like three years younger than me.Well this weird kid would always be eating his boogers on  the bus and it was so disturbing and gross (nasty)seeing him.I remember that he liked this one girl at the bus and he would still do it in front of her and he really didn't cared.Well the thing is that he would always eat his boogers on public no matter if people would see him.I also remember that i would scare him by telling him "Hey christian, Don't eat your boogers because them you will have worms at your stomach," He wouldn't cared or listened to me because he would still do it.Even the girl he liked would tell him that, that was so gross and that, that was so bad for his health but he would only ignore.Also this weird kid would make weird noises on the bus and he would reacted all crazy and started laughing by himself.

Well the whole purpose of writing this story was because i wanted to say that the actions of this child in my bus were all folkways because he would do crazy, weird ,gross things in society that would make the people around him feel disturbed and gross out but with out a harm on them because he would only affect himself by looking totally out of a group and by looking as a weird outstanding person that does nasty things that doesn't make him look good in society.This is related to my Sociology class because we earned about Folkways and Norms and Taboos and other things that are actions of people that make them break one of this terms.For example in my story this child Chris was breaking a Folkway because he was eating his boogers in public on the bus and he was doing weird noises and actions on the bus.

5 symbols that Represent the American Society........

One of the most recognizable American symbol is the American Uncle Sam. He stands there in his American Flag outfit pointing at Americans to get involved and active by joining the Army to fight for the Country.Uncle sam has an important thing to all americans because he wants the Americans to fight for their country and to never give up on fighting for their rights and freedoms.Also he wants to Show the American Pride.

This is an American symbol because its states that no matter what Race or Religion or culture you are , Everyone should have an opportunity to sucessed in America especially children because they need an  education.Because they are the ones that will run our future and gives us  hope for America.

 

Mcdonalds is another symbol that represents the American Society because America is the biggest country with Obese people.We are known for eating large amounts of unhealthy foods.Mcdonalds is one of the most famous fast food restaurants in our country because of their low prices and good service.

Jersey Shore is a popular show in America today.Jersey shore represents the style of the Teen Living in america and its portrayed as a bad picture as Americans.This show is watched mostly by teenagers and children and they receive bad influences and info that can lead them to do things that they really dont want to do.People may argue that shows like these should not be in T.V. because it represents a BAD AMERICAN SOCIETY.

Facebook is a social network that is used by millions of Americans, Also it is one of the most famous social network in america today.Facebook gathers many people to keep in touch with each other and meet many other from different places that become friends.Facebook represents america because its a social network that gathers many different types of groups of different societies to become part of one group or be become friends or become part of one whole society.

Silly Rubberbands AWESOME....

Remember those silly shape rubber bands?Omg, when i first saw them i thought they were cool.So right away i went to the jewel to get some because they were cool looking and i wanted one sense everyone had one.I showed them around to my friends and they would show me theres or we would even exchange.That's  how crazy and excited we where.Most of the students in school had them as well and they would exchange with others that even the teachers would get mad that they would be playing around with them and they would even criticize us for having them.Like one of my teacher said, Omg, you guys are High schoolers not toddlers for having those silly rubber bands.We would reply to her well their cool.But she wouldn't get it,she would still say you guys are not kids..But no one listen to her because no one cared about her comments..

This story is related to my class of sociology because we talked about many new vocabulary words that describe our society and things in society.So one word that its so related to this is FAD because Fad is a Unusual behavior that is spread easily or fast but disappears so quickly that no one knows when its gone.So the Unusual behavior that was spread at society for a little period of time was the silly rubber bands because they were in for a month or so and no one even got to know when they were out of sale or out of this society.They were completely gone and no one has them no more not even me.But i still have them....They were awesome.
