The first Grand Theory I’ll be looking at with prostitution (mainly women prostitutes) is Symbolic Interactionism. First thing that comes to mind; is how we talked about the Labeling Theory and here in America being a prostitute isn’t looked at in a very positive light. So I could see a girl going through high schoolContinue reading “Analyze the Acts of Prostitution in 2 of the 3 Grand Theories”

Reading this chapter instantly reminded me of the first day in this class when Harry stood at the front of the class, and did nothing. As we all just sat their quietly and stared at him, because we’ve been taught over all these years just to sit quietly and wait for instruction-or do as we’veContinue reading “Gracey, Kindergarten as Academic Boot Camp”

This excerpt made me uncomfortable-a little bit. I definitely agree that ‘beautiful’ people have an easier path, and more access to power because of their looks.I have been complimented many times, and I know, depending on my daily dose of confidence that I am considered pretty. But, at 25, I have had only one partner,Continue reading “Sidney Katz: The Importance of Being Beautiful”

The title alone gave me a ‘heads-up” about the deep and, seemingly, ageless struggle for men and women to communicate. I think a lot of what was said was true-half way through though, I had to re-read the author’s name, as it seemed that the viewpoint was slanted against women. The part about apologies randContinue reading “Deborah Tannen: “But What Do You Mean?” Women and Men inConversation”

Recently, because of COVID-19, most people I look at -or consider crazy- are people who aren’t wearing masks or abiding by the 6 foot Social Distancing rule. The first question on ‘How did I know the norms were being violated by this person?’ Is extremely prevalent at grocery stores or Walmart where they now haveContinue reading “Adapted from an assignment by Joyce Johnson”

Reading this chapter was quite shocking; I agree with the end statement that no matter what kind of deviant you are or may have become we’re all human and want to be treated as such. I was watching TV the other day, and in a talk show (The Real) they brought up the question ifContinue reading “Zimbardo, The Pathology of Imprisonment”

I had previously heard about this story, but the twenty one statements about it from a sociologist’s stand point really changed how I thought of it. First hearing this story from my dad years ago; I thought could I have done that? I think starvation would drive me and my will to live- I wouldContinue reading “Henslin, Eating Your Friends is the Hardest”

Even though socially it might be “weird” that me, as a women, and also one who’s been in such a long term relationship, I’ve never had dreams of my wedding or how it should be. As a child, I had friends talk about it, but it never really interested me. Even when I first metContinue reading “JBC p. 243 Wedding Dreams”

I thought this chapter was quite eye opening. For me, when I call my boyfriend and I traditionally am always thinking of the 1950s- where men worked and women were house wives; as the ideal time. But as this chapter pointed out, a lot of things were swept under the rug then. We seem toContinue reading “Coontz, The American Family”

For me as a child, there wasn’t much of a push that I had to be or act a certain way as a girl or young lady. I was considered a tomboy. I liked to wear jeans and my best friend was a boy so we would skateboard, play video games, and with mini monsterContinue reading “How were you socialized into your gender role?”
