Deviance

I think there is a time and place for deviance. I'm sure there are countless examples of when it's appropriate but I do not think it should be an everyday thing so something you should to just for fun. Being a deviant for survival purposes is okay. For example, when the residents of states hit by Katrina were looting to get supplies to survive, they were in the right. The government was supposed to take care of them and didn't so they had to find another way to survive. Another example is the civil rights leaders. People like Gandhi and Malcolm X had to go against their government to try and bring equality for their people.

Gender Norms

Gender norms play a bigger role in our society than most people think. Most boys are raised to be tough, play sports, and ignore their feelings. Most girls are raised to be prim and proper and realize males are superior to them. This has kept our society from growing into a more diverse culture. More people would be accepting of stay at home dads or girls who play football if we taught younger generations that you can do anything or be anything no matter what your gender is. Life is not gender specific so why should the things in it be?

Socialization

I think my family has contributed the most to my socialization. Since day one they have opened my eyes to a variety of aspects of this world. I have traveled to many places which has introduced me many different lifestyles. I've seen poverty, millionaires, gay pride parades, homeless people, and so much more. My family is very open minded which has made me a very accepting person. A lot of this world is very judgmental only because they have never done something or been introduced to our diverse society so I thank my family for letting me see the world with all of its colors.

30 days

There were a lot of things that angered me about this episode. Most of the things were that the straight man did in reaction to the gay people he was surrounded by. I tried to remember that he felt like a total outsider, which he was, but it was obvious that he was over reacting in a lot of the situations. He showed a lot of growth though, which i guess is a positive through the whole thing.

Deviance

I don't believe that people should ever deviate from the norm. The norm keeps us all from punching random people in the street and not wearing clothes to the beach in the US. These behaviors keep us from being a well functioning society and should not be tolerated. I like to think of deviance as cheese in a mouse trap, easy to get to but with terrible consequences.

Deviance

I think that deviance is not always bad. People standing up for their beliefs is deviant but not a bad thing. The deviance the MLK did was amazing. It changed the U.S. for the better. There is also deviance that is just stupid.

Deviance

For the most part deviance is pretty unacceptable in society, but there are times when it can be a good thing.  For example, when everyone around you becomes mentally unstable due to brainwashing or any reason, it would be a good time to act defiantly towards them in order to set things straight.  It would be a bad thing if someone were to act defiantly for no reason just to cause chaos. Therefore, deviance is acceptable in extreme measures but usually shouldn't be brought out.

deviance

I do not think it is ever acceptable for people to behave deviantly. It is wrong to be deviant because it is detrimental to society as a whole. It can also have many negative effects on your own life such as addiction and loss of jobs. It would be better if people just behaved instead of dealing with the consequences.

Deviance

I think that deviance can be okay. Sometimes to fix things or for cereten things to better you have to go against what socitiy thinks / says is okay. An  example would Martin Luthur King Jr. He fought for the freedom of blacks , which at the time was a devent thing to do. However if it wasn't for him and many othersgoing against the norms of socitity, then we as a whole wouldn't have the freedom that we do today.

Deviance

I think showing deviant behavior is ok if it doesn't go too far. Showing deviance isn't really a problem unless you're doing something so bad that it's endangering yourself and others around you. I think it is ok for people to show deviant behavior when somebody makes a rule that is completely stupid and unncessesary. Obviously people are going to rebel against it because it's a rule that no one is going to or wants to follow.

DEVIANCE

Deviance, is okay to a certain extent, when things escalate that's when there is a problem. I believe that if it's for something you strongly believe in and you want to make some changes and stand up for it, you should go for it as long as things don't get to the next level. Without deviance society would be much different. Sometimes breaking rules is okay. Hurting people is not okay. 

culture

I think that the machugenga is the most like the american culture. They have pets like many american families do. Also their family structure is very similar to that of many american families. Furthermore, they have very equivalent social roles. Also they are the most friendly to the outside world.

Deviance

I think that deviance is a good thing to have. Following social norms, and being afraid to show our originality and ideas will never lead to growth in ourselves and as a society. We move forward and evolve by finding the confidence to stand up for what is right. That is how a lot of history is made. On the other hand, being deviant all the time is not a good thing. There is nothing wrong with going against the norm, but there needs to be a reason for every action we take.

deviance

i think that its okay to be deviant in society when its for a good cause. Like during WWII many people acted deviantly against the nazi's and saved many jewish people lives. I think this is a perfect example of when its okay to act deviantly in society. But if you just want to do harm as a way to be deviant then thats not okay. It all really depends on the situation.

I belive that deviance is an important factor in every day life. Without deviance the world would all be run by a single person and no one would ever do anything. Ever since the beggining of time deviance has been necesary for society to progress. To get an idea of how a lack of deviance would effect the world, immagine if no one ever protested the idea of the world being flat or other simmaler ideas we would not be living in the modern world we live in today. Thanks to deviance change occures and we progress making our lives better and more efficient.

Deviance is acceptable when you are very passionate about something but only to a certain extent because deviant acts can escalate into a major problem quickly.  There are other ways to handle a situation other than using deviance.  Although there are certain exceptions in rare cases but most of the time deviant acts only cause problems that are totally avoidable. 

Deviance

I guess deviance is ok in some situations. Its ok if our standing for something that you believe in or if your just having fun and playing a prank once in while. But deviance can also be a bad thing. People can just go around breaking all sorts of laws and being deviants all over the place. That would just screw the world up.

Deviance

I think deviance can obviously be bad but it also can show the beliefs of a person. Once deviance becomes disruptive or hurtful to others,  it needs to be stopped. On the other hand deviance can really define a person and even get them to fight for what is right and make a change.

Deviance

A good example of deviance is this whole NATO thing downtown with all of the protesters. They are standing up for something they believe in no matter what the circumstance is. It's positive because they want to see something change and they don't have selfish motives. So in general it's okay to be deviant when you're expressing your opinion or something that is really important to you.

deviance

i believe deviance should be used when you feel very strongly or are very passionate about a topic. With out forms of deviance no change would ever occur in the U.S. I believe that most deviance would be non violent, so its not such a terrible thing.

Deviance

I think deviance is great. It defines a person. When a person defies the social norms it shows what they really think as a person. They stray from the normal expected actions and show what kind of person they really are. You can learn a lot about a persons true personality by their deviant acts.

Deviance

I think people can exhibit deviant behaviors when they have something they believe in and need to fight for.  Sometimes it is necessary to push the boundaries and break social norms.   For example, Martin Luther King Jr. was someone that did this, same with the Rosa Parks.  If these people didn't stick up for what they believed in, America would not be America without these people.

I think that if someone has a strong belief against the norms of society then it is okay to show deviance. But then at the same time, was it okay for Hitler to use his deviant behavior? (killing millions wasn't exactly a social norm) I think when a person's behavior starts inflicting pain on others then the deviance becomes too much, and needs to be taken down some levels.

Stop Being A Sally!(cries in the corner)

Alrighty, boys, we are absolutely terrible. I can say I follow these methods we do as well, see as kids, you sit in front of your tv and watch Power Rangers and GI Joe and all that bippy bop and what happens? You think you can save the world and be buff while doing it, you need the two to succeed in the world, because no muscles means no girls, no girls means no kids that are over-achieving in sports even though you really really did not even come close. All thanks to a tv show that we saw at a young age. See when were like 3-6 our brains are soft and can be easily molded, which allows anything bright coloured and crazy bad ass to deform us. The world basically needs to watch discovery channel, at least we'll be smart.

!Kung ALL the way

Idk, the !kung, really represent us americans. Here's the thing, we love being smart-asses, especially to those who do way better than us, like say Donald Trump, there are so many jokes about him and other famous politicians and such. Counting, we amercians have probably the weirdest of traditions, I mean we all sit around drink beer and order tons of pizza and watch some 20 guys run up and down a field with a ball thats shaped like arnolds head in order to then push each other down onto the ground and we all go "AWWWWWWWW". American is the click country!

the gay stretch

Look, for us suburban-hetro people(well in general I believe) that video was something that we'd laugh at when really in our heads we were a little freaked out....the gay community is nothing to be scared I think, they just want equality, and it's kinda crazy that's it's worse for them than it was when the civil rights movement was going on.

Deviance is sucky

Deviance, its an issue obviously because well...it goes agaisnt social norms. Here's a situation, a doctor is taking care of a patient, the patient soon learns he is needing a very expensive surgery but he does not have insurance that covers surgery, is it wrong for that doctor to marry her patient in order to then save their lives? Personally, I think if you have good in your heart, and you intend this deviance to do good, I think it's okay, greatest devienter, MLK

Deviance

I think if one is in this situation, then one can be deviant. For example, the person is being bad by not showing a consideration that is usually shown. This consideration could be protecting their safety physically and emotionally. From this, this would be the time to be deviant. Any other action would be not a time to be deviant. The example makes sense by being able to show a point that is needed to be told.

Deviance

In my opinion, when someone has certain beliefs worth fighting for, I think it is acceptable to act deviantly as long as no one gets hurt. A good example of this is Martin Luther King jr. or Rosa Parks who fought for equality between blacks and whites using no violence. This betters society as a whole, making deviance acceptable in this situation.

Deviance

I think deviance can be a good thing in certain situations. I think we as a society sometimes need deviance to better ourselves and make us more open minded. Like the civil rights movement, peoples fight for equality for all races, is a good example of a deviant act that was needed to make us a better country and improved the lives of many people. If the deviant act is going to help make a change in a positive way then I think it is an acceptable thing.

Deviance

I think deviance is okay when it is to change a social norm that is unfair. Like we learned in class, Martin Luther King, Jr. was technically a deviant because he was challenging the social norm that blacks weren't equal to whites. This was a great example of when deviance is okay, because it bettered society. Whenever someone acts deviantly, it reinforces what is acceptable in society, and for that I think a small amount of deviance is acceptable at all times.

30 Days Response

The episode was very interesting to me. It was weird to see someone whose views of gays were so Bible based just thrown into the gay community for a month. I didn't think he would have handled it as well as he did, and even at the end seemed to have opened up his views. It kind of made me mad that the only reasoning he could back up his views with was that it was because the Bible said so. Even when the gay church pastor said that the Bible says don't kill other men, and he was in the Army, he still refused to change his mind.

Deviance

I think deviance depends on your morals.  The deviant acts of the civil rights movement were based on strong feelings that everything should be equal for blacks and whites.  Deviance can sometimes be a negative thing in society, but it also shows a different point of view.  It explains the opposite of what society believes, and sometimes society needs that.

Deviance

The idea of deviance in most cases is a bad idea. For instance, I'm sitting here watching these deviants protesting at NATO and they're being stupid about it, although it is entertaining it's a bad a example of deviance. A good example of deviance would be like what happened during the civil rights movement, they were smart about it and went about it the right way. They stood up for what they believed for in a diplomatic way, unlike these ne'er-do-wells at NATO.

Deviance

Deviance in certain situations can be called for but in others, they aren't. In the situation of Martin Luther King, the deviance was justified because they wanted to change something in the United States. They fought for a just cause. However, when you look at situations of deviance, like the Occupy Wall Street Protest, they're cause is not justified. Their deviance is just an annoyance than it is for anything.

Devience

I believe deviance can be a good thing at times. For example during the civil right movements they were considered to be dievences. Im not saying that all divineness are good and have reasons but sometimes some ideas need to change and people need to step forward.It is up to the people that know they are deviance  for the right reasons, rather than no reason at all. It all depends on ones point of view.  Deviance's will always be around.

Deviance

I believe deviance can be a good thing. For example, in the 60s during the civil rights movement all of those people were "deviants" however, they were fighting for a good cause which was equality for all man, no matter what your skin color was. I think what we consider deviance also changes over time because back then if you were fighting for the rights of a black man you'd be labeled as a deviant, were as if you were to do that today no one would care. It'd fall into a "social norm." So I guess every now and then humanity needs a little deviance to push us in the right direction. 

Deviance

Deviance is anything that goes against society's norms. I think deviance is acceptable if you are causing no harm and are standing up for what you believe in. Deviance can turn bad if it is uncontrolled and violence occurs. When this happens the outcome is usually bad. I think that everyone is deviant at some point in their lives.

Deviance used correctly

I believe that deviance can be a good thing, only if used correctly. Deviance can lead to change and reform which can be good, but not always. If a person is acting deviant to promote a good cause then, yes, that is deviance being used correctly. But in most cases deviance is not a good, or healthy, thing. People should not act outside of the social norms or be deviant on purpose. For example, coming to school naked would be breaking the social norms and unsaid understanding that you just don't do that. Therefore, this is a deviant, and illegal, act.

Deviance

I think that deviance is acceptable sometimes.  Like when people want to stand up for thier beliefs it is ok.  Deviance is only a bad thing when chaos is created.  When riots start forming, that is when it is getting to far.  As long as deviant behavior is controlled it is ok to do.

Deviance

I think being deviant in certain circumstances could be a good thing. If you are voicing your opinion and standing up for what you believe in sometimes that involves being deviant. In the civil rights movement people often acted deviant in peaceful ways by going against the segregation laws without bringing harm to anyone. While that could be considered deviance they were standing up for themselves and what they believe in.

Deviance

I believe that being deviant is only ok in certain circumstances. Like trying to get society more open minded about something. For example when african americans were fighting for equal rights by using civil disobediance then that is fine. I dont think people should just be deviant for the fun of it.

Deviance

There are appropriate times for someone to be deviant. Take Martin Luther King Jr. for example, how would our lives be different if he was not deviant? He fought against the social norms and many people hated him, so by definition he was a deviant. However, he was breaking the norms for the bettering of humanity. If someone is changing the way a society works because what they are doing was wrong, then this is a form of positive deviance. Not all deviance is bad, and if it makes a change for the better, then it is a good thing.

30 days

In the episode of 30 days, we saw a man struggle with his own beliefs on homosexuality. I really like the episode because I found it interesting how he had to face conflicts within himself. I could really see him trying to stay in his mold and not take the new point of view. It was neat to see the way that he broke out of his shell even if it meant going against his old habits and ideas. He did not want to believe new things, but he ended up seeing a new side of things. Not everyone can be exposed to situations like this, but I think they're very important because they let us see into a lifestyle we previously knew nothing about.

Deviance

I personally don't think deviance is always bad. In my mind, it is okay for someone to stand up for their beliefs. Many people don't agree with the ones standing up. That in itself can create alot of harm which leads deviance towards being a bad thing with harm. For the most part, deviance can e controlled. The one speaking out should think about the consequences before disagreeing with many.

Deviance

I believe that it is okay for someone to behave deviantly if it doesn't get too out of hand. If they're standing up for their beliefs, and it's causing no harm, then it is just a way for a person to show how they feel. However, if this behavior causes further issues, it is not okay for someone to behave deviantly. Society doesn't always accept deviant behavior because everyone has different views on the issue, but it's always important for a person to be able to stand up for what they believe in and have the option to express their thoughts, both verbally and with action.

Deviance

If deviance is behaving agains the common acceptance, then I would say that yes, it is sometimes acceptable to behave deviantly sometimes. Some people have a certain goal they are fighting for that they must be deviant in their ways to achieve. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi are two well know examples. They both fought for things by going against the common ways and authority. I think much of this fighting against authority is taken as very skewed in modern days however. Many people like to just go against authority for attention and fun and don't really make anything better.

Deviance

I think deviance is acceptable when its help the greater good. For example, the civil rights protests were people acting of deviance, but it was for a cause that would help many people. It was something that was problem for many, and the deviance allowed for a better society. Deviance that only affects a small amount of people is not acceptable.

30 Days

I think this episode is was very eye opening for many people. It was frustrating watching Ryan be so closed minded on the subject of homosexuality. However, I do think being on the tv show helped him understand more that whether you are homosexual or heterosexual, you should not be victimized because of your sexual preference.

Deviance

I feel that it's okay to be deviant when you're fighting for the something that will help everyone, or to make people notice what they're doing is wrong. Martin Luther King was a deviant, and he was just trying to accomplish something better for all African Americans.. but if people are just doing it to be "cool" then it's annoying and unnecessary.

30 Days.

I thought the t.v. show was very interesting. I love the fact that Ryan gave him self a chance to live with a homosexual and saw that their no different from any other human being. I have to say that Ryan did grow as a person and he change his negatives views towards the homosexuals. Something I disliked was how people would judge about the homosexuals without even knowing nothing about it them. We all need to accept people for who they are, you don't see them judging us for being STRAIGHT.

Quarter 4, Week 7: Deviance

Under what circumstances is it ok for people to exhibit deviant behaviors?  If it is never ok for people to behave deviantly, why not?  Explain your answer in detail.

30 days in a gay community

I love this series because it takes people out of their comfort zone and forces them to question their own beliefs and lives. In this specific episode, Ryan, who was born in a small, conservative, religious community believes that homosexuality is a sin. But by the end of the episode you can see slight changes in his beliefs through his actions. One night he feels comfortable enough to take his shirt off and dance at a gay bar, compared to the first night they went their he stayed in the corner, offensive to any gay man who approached him. Also when the father of the service woman talked to him about the rights of his daughter you could see him open up more. his main underlying beliefs stayed strong throughout the 30 days because of such strong ties with his religious upbringing, and they were reinforced when he went back home to his family, who were completely judgemental. But I think Ryan's perception on gay people changed because of his personal connection to his roommate that he spent everyday with.

i found the 30 days episode to be like any other TV show, based on a script, contains a conflict, a subject of high interest or contrast, and a resolution. Ryan is the epitome of a closed minded manly man, he follows the guidance of the bible, was a marine, and becomes uptight and angry when he is put past his comfort level.  the story line of the show was to attract attention with the high amounts of drama, and to end the show Ryan presented a speech that gave closure to show that Ryan found valuable change within his 30 days with an added understanding and sympathy of how he views gay people. I don't believe ryan's views were actually changed at all. Ryan was in an environement were he was the minority based on his sexuality. ryan felt awkward and threatened in this environment, so he only changed to not become a target among the other gay people. Ryan did learn some more repsect, because he was able to at least able to put his beliefs aside to nod and smile along with the surrounding gay people.

30 days

The 30 days episode we saw was definitely something different. I was weird seeing some stuff like the pictures in the bath room and how he partied. I didnt think it was weird in a bad way it was just different. I totally think it would have been easy to go through those 30 days. Plus he got to get out of his boring state and go to California. Furthermore i dont think he ever changed , the show just had to make it seem like it was all a happy ending.

30 days

My thoughts on that episode are that it was just plain weird. It was just really awkward. I mean the straight guy clearly felt very uncomfortable most of the time and I don't blame him. I just didn't get the point. I wasn't surprised his views changed a little because it's a tv show you could kind of see it coming. One part I agree on is I don't think gays have a choice I think that they are just born that way, and while I don't agree with it I do think that it shouldn't be a sin, because they can't help it.

30 Days

After watching the video, I was surprised at how quick he was to revert back to his old ways as soon as he returned home. After the 30 days when he gave his goodbye speech, it seemed like he actually changed his views toward holosexuality but he didn't. I still don't think he accepts homosexuality, but now he understands the concept a little more as well as bEing able to be around it. It surprised me how open he was about his views around the 12 gay men at dinner the first night. He flat out told them he thought being gay was a sin and he didn't agree.

30 days

I was surprised how little he changed over the 30 days. At the end it appears that he his finally on the verge of changing, but then he never flat out says "hey im ok with this". i do have to say, however, that he seemed much more accepting at the end, which is nice to see.

30 days

I found it interesting how open and honest he was about his feelings.  With a group of 12 gay guys, he explained how against it he was, and how he thought that they were all sinners.  He was extremely judging at the beginning, but towards the end he became much more understanding and comfortable with the idea.  One of the things that seemed to have the biggest effect on him was talking to the parents.  It seemed to give him a new perspective on the idea.

30 days

I thought the video was interesting. I do think they took a very one sided stance and a very extreme look at it.  I think they looked at the minority of people who stand outside with signs that say that and only showed those people rather than the people who may be against it but are not rude or harmful about it. I definitely think there are people like that and i think that is awful. I dont believe people should be discriminated against for being themselves and the video was a big eye opener into what types of discrimination they do face.

30 Days

I thought this episode was interesting. I was surprised at how judgmental Ryan was of other people and their beliefs in the beginning. I knew that some people were against homosexuality but it really surprised me to what extent Ryan and the people in his community prejudiced gay people. I do think that Ryan was able to be brave and break out of his comfort zone through his experience. I think the trip was beneficial to his viewpoints on others although I don’t think he changed dramatically because it’s hard to change something you’ve grown up believing in just 30 days. I think going to San Francisco was a good eye opener for Ryan.

30 days

I thought the episode was pretty interesting. I was really appalled at how some people would hold up hateful signs against gay people. I knew that sometimes gay people can be mocked/bullied but I never knew it was to that extent. It was horrifying and it made me really sad because they called themselves Christians but then thrust their judgement on others. I honestly don't think it's anyone's business about whether someone is gay or not and I would rather people and the government just stay out of relationships in all. I think Ryan became a lot more accepting of people throughout his time in San Francisco and it helped him grow as a person and realize that he can hold onto whatever beliefs he has, but to not put his judgement on others because it's not his place.

I didn't think that the guy changed that much from the experience. He did learn more about how a gay person lives and i thought that made him more tolerant. But i still don't think that he is ok with homosexuality. He obviously believes that it is a sin. There was no way he was going to change his mind about it either.

30 Days

I found the video to be very interesting. I was surprised at how sheltered he was in that he had never encountered a guy man in his life. I thought it was brave of him to go out of his comfort zone and live with a gay man for 30 days. However I didn't really like his attitude in the beginning in the sense that if he knew that no matter what they told him or what he experienced wasn't going to change his perspective on gay's being sinners then why'd he do it in the first place? 

I think this whole project really helped Ryan to become more open minded about homo-sexuality then he has ever been in his entire life. I feel that its going to really benefit him in the future as well not only dealing with homosexuality but dealing with anything that Ryan considers normal. He is also a very understanding person because of the whole thing witch will help him with difficult situations he encounters later in life.

30 Days Response

I thought the episode was sort of entertaining but at the same time surprising. I don't really know how we have come to find the discomfort of others to be a source of entertainment, but we have. I didn't know people such as Ryan (close-minded, opposed to change, "strict" Bible interpretation) actually existed. I thought they were just an image created to exaggerate the opposing views of others. I thought we have progressed as humans enough to move past the personal lives of others to consider them people. I thought it was funny how the episode followed a somewhat typical sitcom story line of 2 new roommates meeting, realizing they have to put up with each other and act nice, then they don't act nice, and then they resolve their differences and learn to live life without taking into account what they've learned.

30 Days

I thought the episode was really interesting. I liked that it showed the views and opinions from people on both sides on the topic of homosexuality. From the video, I saw that many people form stereotypes and judgments about homosexuality without ever knowing anything about it. They take the bible too literally, word for word. I don’t think that being gay is a sin at all. People are who they are, and we all need to understand and learn to accept that. For Ryan, these 30 days were very educational, and his narrow world and perspective has been widened through this experience. Although Ryan has grown, I don’t think Ryan changed his whole view on homosexuality has changed, but I think he has learned to respect and accept people for who they are.

30 Days

I thought the 30 days episode was very interesting. It was hard for Ryan to adjust to living in a gay community because he disagreed with their views. It was pretty awkward for him during the first night when he went to dinner with Ed and his gay friends. He felt attacked when they asked him why he thought being gay was wrong. It was also hard for him to get along with the minister because she wanted to know why it was so hard for him to be accepting of gays. I wasn't exactly surprised that Ryan hadn't changed his views after coming home. It's pretty hard for one person to completely change their views based on just one 30 day experience. Ryan seemed a little bit more accepting after the experience, but I still felt like he thought it was wrong to be gay.

30 Days

I thought the 30 Days episode was very informative to watch. Seeing Ryan go to San Francisco made me wonder how the visit would go. The episode did make Ryan learn to accept homosexuality by living with Ed. This episode is interesting to watch by how Ryan is fitting in San Francisco. I feel Ryan did get to understand homosexuality. His perspective stays the same, but he has learned to respect homosexuality.

30 Days

The straight man in the gay world video was very interesting, because Bryan had to live with a gay person for 30 day. I think that situation made him a little bit uncofortable. He had other beliefs and he didin't agree with the gay community. I Think after the 30 days he was more open, but he didnt change any of his opinions.

30 days

The straight man in the gay world video was very interesting because he has a religious belief, and accrding to the bible liking another person from the same gender is a sin. A lot of people have different thoughts on same sex relationships, but its another thing to insult their life choices. I feel like people shouldn't judge if it not relating to their own lives. Ryan was very close minded on this subject and he stuck to what he believed and to what others believed too. He should've prepared himself for the gay world before doing the whole 30 days.  

I thought the episode of 30 days, straight man in a gay world was a very good representation of todays society. What it shows, is how ignorent we are today when it comes to an uncomin social occurence. In society today people tend to rely on stereo types over personal expirience. This is a problem because stereo types are almost never true for the common person of a single group. I thought the video did a good job at showing this issue by showing the main charecters changed views through personal expierience with the gay commuunity while bridging the gap between stereotypes of others and personal connection with a member of the gay community. In the end this video was a good wakeup call to those who make stereo types and was a grat learning expieriencee.

30 days.

I thought the concept of this episode was really interesting. It showed that many people develop stereotypes through their environment such as their family and change them once they actually experience it. It is sad that many people are so caught up in their judgements before they ever even know a person. I do not agree with his opinion that being gay is a sin but it didn't annoy me that he kept his opinion on that I thought it was really cool actually that he could keep his opinion and still get past the judgements and stereotypes he used to believe.

30 days

I really liked this episode and thought it was very interesting.  I think that it was a good experience for the guy because before that he had never been exposed to anyone that was gay.  Although he was very set on his opinions throughout the 30 days he did open up at the end with his speech and I thought that was a good thing.  I wish he would have been more open minded throughout the whole 30 days though it would have helped him grow even more.

30 Days

I think that this video was very good for him to open his eyes to new experiences. Since he was very judgmental, it was good for him to put himself in the situation of living with a gay guy so that he can know what it's like before he makes conclusions. It was interesting that he even put himself out there to get a job and fully experience what it's like to live in the gay heart of San Francisco. It was also very good that he was able to ultimately change his stance on gay relationships.

30 Days

I enjoyed this episode and liked how there was humor involved. When watching it, I was a little unhappy with his attitude. He came in with his mind completely set on gays being a sin. What's the point on doing this if he told himself he would not change his views? I wished he gave them more of a chance to prove how they are no different than anyone else. In my mind, this show showed how difficult this process can be. Ultimately, being open and flexible can lead you to gaining knowledge and new ideas.

30 days

I thought the video was very interesting to watch. I thought it was rude how the guy judged all those men so quickly just because of their sexuality. I think it made them feel uncomfortable and upset that some random guy was saying these things to them.In order for him to get a better experience he should have gone in with a more open mind. He was set on one opinion and wasn't willing to change it. I think he should have respected their lifestyle more.

30 Days

I feel like the man should have gone in to this with more of an open mind because the whole time he just expressed how uncomfortable he was and how he did not want to be there.  I did not like how he immediately expressed his oipinions and judged him and all of his friends when the only thing he knew about them was that they were gay.  He doesn't have to like their lifestyle, but that should not make him not like them as people.  He did end up opening his mind slightly and formed a bond with the man but he still critized him and his lifestyle. 

30 Days

I thought it was pretty interesting that they would think to send a straight guy in to a gay community. The straight guy was totally unprepared for the change of life styles compared to where he lived and san francisco. I feel like he should've been more open to the new enviornment and respect what the other side was saying because all he did was defend his thoughts and opinions. I was kind of surprised on how mean the people who are against gays were, calling them really bad names and stuff, no wonder people think Christians are stuck up or wrong because they just totally dont respect people different from them. Not all of them are, but that's the image they send out when they are forcing religion onto the gays.

30 Days

I thought the straight guy in the movie was very unprepared for this experience.  He was never open to new beliefs knowing he went into a totally new world.  Also he hurt that woman's feelings saying that homosexuality is a sin and sticking with it.  And bringing his friend made things worse.

Straight man in a gay world review

Ive actually seen this online a while ago, so I'm sharing early. I thought this video was kind of closed minded in a lot of ways. It doesn't look at the world in a modern way. The guy needs to learn a thing or two about common courtey or just being nice or open in general.

Gender Norms

Gender Norms influence our society a great deal. They define a lot of men and women and make them think they need to live up to said norms. It explains the rising amounts of depression and eating disorders going on in young people. Everyone is made to feel like they need to look and act a certain way for them to be accepted and it just adds a lot of unnecessary pressure that didn't exist before now.

boys vs. girls

Gender roles are very prominent aspect in the workings of our society. From a young age they have control over how we are supposed to act, behave, and what we will pursue later on in life. Girls are generally percieved to be more caring and nurturing, and typically work under men. Boys are expected to act tough, and be more intelligent, typically having control over the workforce and government.There is many debate to which how gender roles are formed, some think they biologically predisposed, others believe family, peers, and the media construct them; I think it's a combination of both.

Quarter 4, Week 6: 30 Days Response

This week, we will be watching an episode of the TV show 30 Days entitled Straight Man in a Gay World.  What are your thoughts on this episode?  Were there certain elements that surprised you, made you angry, etc.?  Explain.

Gender Norms

 I  feel like gender control some aspects of our lives. I believe that males will always be seen as the dominant in society, whether its right or not. According to the gender norms guys are supposed to be the leaders in society. They are supposed to be the tough ones who provide for their family. While women, on the other hand, are supposed to be the housewives who take care of the children and clean. But in today's society its not 50/50 anymore, some woman do more than a guy would.

Gender roles are the most foundational aspect to our societies's operation, gender makes the world tick forward in a designated direction. Our gender roles as a man or a women defines our: identity, interests, communication, occupations, behavior, and any other aspect the contributes to an individuals projected image and consciousness. As society moves as a whole and inquisitive people begin to challenge the expected behaviors of a 21st century man or women; men begin to feel threatened of their dominance. Men become fearful that they will no longer have the upper hand in their environment, that they begin to be challenged by the submissive one, may it be a women or any other individual that is under that man. Men control all the largest corporations, institutions, and run the government; thus controlling you. Mr. BOSS MAN is formatting your life through his projected image.

Gender Roles

Gender norms are pretty important in our society. It dictates what jobs certain genders can get. For instance, most secretaries are women. A woman would be able get a job as a secretary easier than a man. Also, it controls how men and women act differently. Men have to be tough. The most powerful men are supposed to be white, strong, and smart. Women are supposed to be weak. Gender roles contribute a lot to our society social norms.

As far as socialization goes i believe that family has played the biggest role in my life. Throughout my entire life they have constantly taught me things such as life skills and morals. because of this my family has played the biggest role in developing my values. Goining along with this, growing up my family neverspent alot of time around religion. This is the reason that religion plays the smallest role in my lifes socialization. It has done very little in my life except leave my sundays wide open for whatever I like.

Gender Norms

So I think that the stereotypical gender norms sort of cut off creativity in a way, or they just shape us into thinking that girls have to be a certain way and guys have to be a different way. I truly wonder how we'd all turn out if society didn't paint this picture of how each gender was supposed to act and what they are supposed to like. I mean why am i supposed to like the color pink or enjoy watching chick flick movies... what if I hypothetically liked to lift weights and play video games all the time? People would probably have an issue with that and judge me for it. so i guess these norms just kind of get in the way of being your own person sometimes. 

Gender Roles

I believe gender roles play a large role in todays society. Since the day were wraped in a blue or pink blanket we are under a direct influence from almost every person we make contact with. I think the video we have been watching in class is a clear representation of our society. In the video it talked about how values are greatly different from males to females but still play big roles in every day life. Some examples of these are males constantly feeling the need to be physicly stronger and females needing to look physicly appealing. These two reasons, among others represent the large role of masculinity and feminimity in society.

Gender Norms

I think it's not solely the gender norms that drive our society but the application gender titles at all. Now of course, there are boys and girls, and men and women, that cannot be denied. I am referring to the act of assigning genders to different sanctions. For example, in the video we watched in class, Jackson Katz accentuated the idea of making it more known to the public that white heterosexual men are committing a lot of the crimes that get put under the table and anything else is brought out. I think that's one of the problems our society faces. We have an obsession with putting the blame on others that we forget the real essence of the presentation of crime. It is the crime itself, the rape, the murder, the theft, that we should worry about, not who to point fingers at and ridicule.

Gender Norms

Gender norms are a big part of our lives. They are present all over our society. Men are supposed to be tough and they are supposed to be leaders. This is true all over the world with the world leaders being mostly men. Women are expected to act like ladies and not be violent. we grow up with these norms presented to us in our communities and in the media and they do effect the way our society functions.

Gender norms are a controlling force in our society. We see that boys act one way and girls act another way. When boys grow up they play with cars, sports, violence. Boys grow up horsing around fighting with each to shows who is stronger and tougher. When girls grow up they play with dolls, braid each others hair, play house.  The girls act all lady like. The roles of genders are a big controlling force that shows the structure of each gender.

Gender Norms

I think gender norms play a big part in society, especially from the media. The media shows that guys should be tough and muscular. It shows that girls should be the housewives. I think our views on the way each gender should be would be totally different without the media.

Gender Norms

I feel that gender norms play a pretty big role in our society. Right when we come outta our mother's womb a boy is wrapped around in a blue blanket and a girl is wrapped around in a pink blanket. Also as they grow older the boys try and put up the tough guy wall while on the other hand girls are considered stereotypically weak. Mean become the providers for the family while women become the caretakers. I do believe this is slowing changing though i mean look into previous generations and start at the 50s, than, the 60s and work your way up. I do believe we are heading in the right direction when it comes to this.

gender norms

gender norms i think are very obvious in are society. You see the social media try to show kids what there supposed to be like when they get over. They exspecially try to single out the younger boys by teaching them they have to be strong and intimidating. You look in all are movies that we play today and all the guys are these strong good looking guys. Even in chick flicks you get guys like channing tatum who is big and strong. Exspecially wwe does nothing but makes boy feel like they need to be big and strong and they need to result their problems with violence

Gender Norms

Gender norms are a huge part of our society. Ever since you are born you are shown the "correct" way to act for your gender. Boys are usually given sports balls while girls are given dolls. By being told what you are supposed to be using for your entire life, basically shapes the adult you will be. Of course there are those that reject the norm, but they are singled out and ridiculed by being called names. So most just try to stick within the accepted gender norm.

Gender Roles

I think that gender roles have a huge role in our society.  They set expectations for people to try to live up to, and stereotypes for them to try to fulfill.  It is impossible to escape these stereotypes, and they are present in almost everything.  Even bringing children to mcdonalds to get happy meal.  They always ask if you want a girls toy or a boys toy.  Even though this is just one small thing, it contributes to the stereotype that men should be "tough" and women are stereotypically "weak."

Gender Norms

I think gender norms play a large role in our society. From the way we are nurtured we are taught how we should act as girls or boys. Girls usually are given dolls and makeup and boys are given cars and tools to play with. These toys alone already put a division between the ways girls and boys should act. According to the gender norms guys are supposed to be the leaders in society. They are supposed to be the “tough” ones who provide for their family. While women, on the other hand, are supposed to be the housewives who take care of the children and clean. These norms are becoming less prominent in society today with women becoming the providers more, but it is still apparent that there is a divide between what men and women are suppose to do in our culture.

Gender Roles

I think gender roles play a large part in our society. For examples just look to the media. All over the place you see people conforming to traditional gender roles. Children see women as stereotypical "weak" and overly feminine on tv all the time and this is where they get their ideas from. 

gender roles

I think gender roles play a big part in society. Men are supposed to be tough and powerful. Women are supposed to be weaker and less powerful than men. This is not the case today however. In the past men were supposed to make all the money and the women were supposed to be stay at home moms. Today more and more women are having full time jobs. These gender roles are all about past beliefs. I think that we are in a new era where men and women are equal and everyone is an individual.

Gender Roles

I think gender roles play a big part in our society. Women and men are categorized into certain areas that they are supposed to succeed in and be good at. Women are supposed to cook and clean and be the 'weak' ones who need men and the men are supposed to be the strong tough guys. I think it is unfair to put every male and every female into a certain stereotype because every person is an individual.

Gender Norms

Gender norms have a medium to big impact on society. Women wear dresses on formal occasions, and men wear tuxedos on formal occasions. Males are known to have to be kind to women by being a gentleman. Females are the ones who are ladies. Both are able to play sports and do housework, so that has medium impact on society. The gender norms are separate and come together in harmony. Communicating with each other is a way, and wearing pants is another.

Gender Roles

Gender roles play a huge controlling force in our society.  First of all, numerous shows of television portray men as being strong and tough and girls as being fragile.   Girls are supposed to be weak, emotional and skinny, while men are supposed to be unemotional, and built.  If a man likes "feminine" things then he is teased or bullied.

Gender normss

Gender norms play a huge role in our society. From a very young age, we are taught how girls and guys are supposed to act. For example playing with American Girl Dolls, Barbies, and kitchen sets were popular for girls while boys played with toy cars and action figures a lot. There are always exceptions to gender norms, but for the most part, girls and guys are expected to act certain ways based on stereotypes. It is expected of men to be the "tough" working people while women are stay at home moms. Though wrong, society thinks this way and when a girl/boy doesn't follow the gender norms, they are considered somewhat of an outcast.

Gender Norms

Gender norms play a large role in our society. They are unsaid rules and regulations that we unconsciously learn to follow since we are little kids. From the first toys we play with, from the difference between dolls and action figures, we are made to believe that girls and boys are supposed to act in a certain way, and never in the same way. “Girly” and “manly” are stereotypes that we have created based on these gender norms that keep everyone in a box of societal expectations. Gender norms control how we live our lives. They plant thoughts like “men should be tough”, “girls shouldn’t act like this” inside us. These ‘should’ and ‘shouldn’t’s  keep us from our true selves.

gender

I think gender norms have a a large role in our society. Guys are suppose to be the tough guys and women are suppose to be weak. Also when ever girls talk they always gossip. EVeryone makes jokes about it but it seems to be true. Also guys are suppose to beat each other up when they see each other.Also just like the Gi joe stuff in the movie showed how men have changed appearence. Finally women have gotten skinnier.

Gender Norms

I think gender norms have a a large role in our society. Girls are supposed to be the weaker ones while boys are supposed to be tough and manly and watch sports. Like in the movie we are watching, guys feel like they have to be violent and in charge all the time because otherwise they might be looked at as weak and then they won't be respected. Girls feel they have to be the opposite. Society has us feel like we need to be the weaker ones and depend on males to protect us because they are the stronger ones.

Gender roles

I think gender roles are very prevelant in today's society. First of all, males have a very protective role over their family and friends, so they have more responsibility. But now a days people are starting to break those Norms and break stereotypes, like women in political positions and stuff.

GENDER NORMS

In todays society gender norms make up a huge and major part. A girl is suppose to be fragile & feminine. A boy has to be "big" tough and strong. If a boy likes girl things, he is bullied and called names like "wuss" "wimp" or "gay". But on the other hand, if a girl likes boy stuff, then "it's okay". The society that we live in is very judgemental, and they judge you on every single little thing in your life.   

Gender Norms

I think gender norms are very applicable to today's society. Men are expected to be strong and tough, while women are expected to be emotional and are in charge of cooking, cleaning, etc. It's less likely for a woman to be a CEO, or manager of a company, while its much more common for a man to be. Also, women are said to be worse drivers and less intelligent than men in general. Gender norms are simply expected by society and go by unspoken of. It's strange when people of either gender don't fit these expectations, and that's what always stands out to other people.

Gender Norms

I believe that gender roles play a huge role in our society today. Women and men are supposed to act in certain ways. Women are supposed to be more of the care givers and Men are supposed to be the providers. I feel like men view women as cutesy and ditsy where as women view men as tough and strong. I also think men and women act differently around the opposite sex than they do around the same sex.

Gender Norms

In our society, girls are supposed to do girl things, and boys are supposed to do boy things. If at any point a boy starts doing girl things, it's not okay in our society. Growing up my parents would never think to buy me dolls or barbies, because they didnt think that was the right thing for a boy to have. This is usually the case for all families, but then if you look at the girls growing up, it isnt frowned upon for girls to do boy things. Its a double standard that will never go away. I think this is mainly because in our world, guys are portrayed as masqueline and tough, and when dads are bringing up their children they want to make sure that the boys grow up being tough and love sports. Its a huge part of how people are in this world we live in.

Gender Norms

Gender norms are a huge part of our society.  Boys and girls act differently around the opposite sex than they do around the same.  I think guys feel like they always have to be in charge and all tough.  Like we said in class it is a big insult to a little boy to be "acting like a girl."  Although gender norms are still a problem in our society, things have gotten a lot better than a while back.  Men were expected to work and women always stayed home with the kids.  Now a days, it is not unusal for women to be successful and provide for their families.

Gender norms

Gender norms are a very controlling part of society.  Girls and guys are "supposed" to act a certain way around other guys and girls.  Boys like to be tough and manly and girls like to be nice and feminine.  A lot of people follow these social norms because if they don't they are of being an outcast.  Most men think that it is their responsibility to go to work and make money for the family, while women think it's their job to be stay at home moms. 

Gender Norms

I think gender norms are a very controlling force in our society. Its all about people judging you all the time based on what you do, how you dress, pretty much anything and everything. Males are not supposed to act a certain way. Like they are not supposed to like things that girls like and if they do then they are shunned, made fun of and maybe even people think that he is gay. Same kinda stuff happens with girls too.

Gender Norms

I personally feel like gender control some aspects of our lives.. men will always want to be the more masculine dominant ones. while women will always be the fragile ones. There are a few women who want to be independent and be out there competing with the men, but most still stay home after having  baby and take care of their husbands. Men/boys still have kitchen jokes, and try to get "swole" to show off their masculinity, so they wont really change. but as long as we still expect each other to stay in stereotypical roles, then we will still be controlled by our genders.

Gender Norms

Gender norms play a huge role in our society. If you ask any young child about whether a certain object belongs with a girl or a boy, they will easily be able to tell you. It starts at a young age that we are taught a distinction between males and females and their roles in society. The media also enforces this idea of gender norms as well.

Gender norms

Gender norms are a huge part of our society. boys act different around girls than they do around other boys. same with girls. Male norms include masculinity, having control, and hard work. women norms are different compared to mens norms. Norms are different but a big part of our world.

Family

My family is nuclear. My family is matrilolity and also patrilocality because we live by both my moms family and dads family. There are a few patrilocal family members that live in california. My family likes to live relatively close because we have a lot of get togethers.

Gender

Gender norms play a very large role in out society. Boys like to act rough and tough around each other because they feel like they should. Girls feel the need the be cutesy and feminine in fear of being judged. While people may be surprising how they want to act, they hide those actions because they don't want to stand out. People still follow the stereotypical family where the man earns the bacon and the woman cooks it, but things are changing. While gender still influences our daily life and behaviors extremely, people who act differently are less judged than a few years ago.

Family

I live in a nuclear family, it's me, my brother, my mom, & my dad. We are matriarchal because my mom usually makes most of the decisions. We are neolocal.

Gender Norms

Gender norms are a huge force in our society. Boys tend to act different arounds other guys rather than girls. Girls, vice versa, are the same way. We as guys tend to be more tougher sounding while girls may have the tendency to sound more innocent. Some male norms include the obvious masculinity, staying in control, and that work is very important. On the other hand, women are usually portrayed as the main care givers for children. As shown, gender norms are not taught but are natural to us all.

Gender Norms

I think gender norms definitely play a role in our society today. Most girls and guys have particular stereotypes they put on each other that change the way genders are viewed. Most guys view girls as dumb and the less intelligent gender, where as most girls view guys as lazy and unemotional. It is unfair to categorize the genders like this because it puts an unfair advantage or disadvantage in play for both genders.

I live in an egalitarian nuclear family with five kids and two parents. We are a matrilocality because we live closer to my mom's parents than my dad's.

Socialization

For me family has played the biggest role in my socialization because almost everything I know I learned from them and my education is a close second. I think that the government and economy have contributed least so far because since I am still a minor I haven't contributed much yet to either of them.

Family

I live in a nuclear family with my mother, father, and sister. We are paleolocal because live near my dad's mom and we live in an egalitarian family authority because my parents share the power.

Gender Norms

 I think norms are controlling in society, but I think the mind itself is more controlling because if the norms were solely controlling then David would have been playing with dolls, because he "looked like a girl and that's what girls do." But his mind was telling him that he actually wanted to play with trucks and airplanes despite what he "should be doing, as a "girl"". That also has me come to the conclusion that I think our minds/genetics hold a lot more than what has been learned in science and really you can't change nature; despite the surgeries, and medicine, you'll always know in your mind your real gender, & I think to some extent it will always "nag" at you. -Like it nagged at David.

My family

My family is considered a nuclear family, even though I'm the only child living at home. It is a patriarchy because my dad makes the final decisions on things. But he respects my mom and therefore discusses things with her most of the time. Sometimes though, they make decisions individually if it needs an answer pronto. So there's sometimes a power shift. My dad's fam all lives in California so we are not a patrilocality family. We're really not matrilocality either because my mom's family is spread out and we only live close to her great aunt.

My Family

i live and egalitarian nuclear family because my parents share the power and it is just the imediate family in the house. We are a small group with only 3-4 people in the house at a time. And we live near neither of my grandparents.

My family

I live with a nuclear family., both my parents work. My dad works from home so he dose more of the home maker part, and my works out of the house so she seen more of the boss.  Both my parents are the car taker and the home provider.

Quarter 4, Week 5: Gender Norms

To what extent are gender norms a controlling force in our society?  Use specific examples to support your answer.

i dont know what the blog is and im pretty sure i aleady defined what my family is so just so i get credit im going to write this blog and if we didnt have a blog somebody please inform me in class

my family

I live with my nuclear family and we are a small group because there are four of us. We are neolocal because we don't live near either grandparent and we live in an egalitarian family authority because my parents share the power.

My family

I live with my nuclear family.  This consists of my dad, mom, and three sisters.  My parents share the authority in the house making us egalitarian.  They both have jobs and contribute to the family making their marriage dual earning.  We are neolocal because we live an equal distance away from my grandparents. 

My Family

My nuclear family consists of my mom, dad, brother, sister and me. We are a neolocal family in that my parents moved to St. Louis when they were first married before eventually coming back to Illinois where their parents are. My family is an egalitarian family, with both parents having equal influence on a subject. My parents do not have a dual-earner marriage because my dad is the one who works while my mom stays home.

my fam

my family is patrilocal because we live near my dad's family, compared to my mom's side of the family who live in the south. Also my family is egalitarian because both my parents make decisions equally with eachother. I live just with my parents and siblings so we are also a neolocal family.

family

I live in a nuclear family with my parents.I would consider my family mostly egalitarian because both of my parents share the power they have and make decisions for the family. My family also lives closer to my mom's side of the family so that makes us matriarchal. Either way we still try and see enough of everyone. Family is super important to us.How ever i have some family back in Europe.

Family

My family would be considered a single parent family. My mother is a widow, my dad past away when I was 8 years old. My family would also be a matriarchal family, because my mom holds most of the authority and makes the decisions in the house. We are bilocal because we live very close to my mom's. 

Fam Fam Fam

Most of the decisions and power lies within my father, but there is still a heavy influence of my mother behind my fathers decisions and my mother still makes many decisions independent of my father. to describe the power role in my family it is nuclear with an occasional shift in power to a patriarchal. My father makes most of the financial decisions because he is the main source of income and is a fundamental aspect to the family through his passive approach to subjects. while my mother is the core foundation to the family, supplying all the support for her children and husband to prosper; on an emotional, detail, and support level my mother is matriarchal to the family. My family lives equal distance from both sets of grandparents, so we are neolocal. 

My Family

I live with both my mom and dad. They both pretty much share the same authority, which makes them egalitarian. Although the majority of families around the world are patriarchal, I feel like every family should be egalitarian, because it's fair. My dad's parents live in Arkansas, and my mom's dad lives in a nursing home. So given the distance, my family is neolocal. I prefer neolocal living because I would honestly rather not live with my grandparents.

family

My nuclear family consists of me, my brother and my parents. My family is both egalitarian and dual earning, because both of my parents have an equal say in decisions and they both work. we live bilocaly because both my fathers and my mothers parents live relatively close.

My family

My family I guess is nuclear, but it's different from most, because my parents are divorced but I spend just about equal time with both. So when I'm with my mom we are matriarchal and when I'm with my dad we are patriarchal. Regardless of who I am with we are always neolocal, meaning we don't live with or necessarily near either parents side of the family, although they aren't too far. That is my family

Family

I'm in a nuclear family with my parents, brother, and sister. My family is patriarchal because my dad supports us and makes almost all of the financial decisions. Everything is run by him before a decision is final. We're neolocal because we live an equal distance from both grandparents. 

family

I live in a nuclear family with my parents and my brother and sister are away at college. My grandparents live in Tennessee so my family is neolocal. My family is definitely egalitarian because my parents always talk to each other before making decisions.

my family

I live in a nuclear family with my parents, my sister, and my brother. I would consider my family mostly egalitarian because both of my parents share the power they have and make decisions for the family. Although I would say in some situations my dad has more control which would be patriarchal. Both my parents work so it’s a dual-earning marriage. My family is bilocal because my dad’s parents live in Boston while my mom’s parents live here in Illinois.

Family

I live in a nuclear family with my parents and 3 siblings. We are primarily a neolocal family seeing as how my father's parents are deceased and my mother's mother lives in Florida and rarely keeps in contact. Before, we were a patrilocal family because my grandfather on my father's side lived in Arlington Heights after moving from the city. There is an egalitarian rule in our household as both parents must have a say in things.

My Family

My family of me, my parents, three sisters, and brother live in a nuclear family.  My parents are egalitarian because they both make important decisions.  We are matriarchal because we live closer to my mom's side of the family.  My family is bilocal because we live closer to my mom's parents.

Family

My family is a nuclear family with just me and my parents. My family is a patriarchal family because my dad is the boss. Both my parents have jobs so they have a dual earning marriage. Also we are neolocal because we live far away from either of my grandparents.

Family

I live in a nuclear family with my parents, my two sisters, and my brother.  My grandparents live in Florida, making my family neolocal.  When it comes to making important decisions, my family is an egalitarian family.  Also, my parents both work, making them a dual-earning marriage.

Family

I live with my nuclear family.  I live mostly in an egalitarian family because my parents make decisions together and share the power evenly but sometimes my mom takes control over situations which would be considered a matriarchal family.  We are bilocal because we live very close to my mom's parents and farther away from my dad's.

I live in a nuclear family of my mother and father and my two brothers. My dad's parents aren't living anymore and my mom's parents live in minnesota so that makes us neolocal. For the most part i live in an egalitarian family,  sometimes it can be a tad bit patiarchy though.

My Family

I live in a nuclear family. My household includes my mom, dad, older brother, and our three dogs. Our family is neolocal because both my mom and dad’s parents live back in Japan while we live here in America. My family is patriarchal when making important decisions. My dad has the final say in most things that happens in our family. But when my parents make decisions concerning my brother and I, they share an equal part, making our family egalitarian at times.

Family

I live with my nuclear family. My family consists of my mom, dad, sister, and me. My family is matriarchal because my mom is the one to make all the decisions in our family. My mom's parents live in Florida and my dad's family lives about three hours away from us, almost in Wisconsin. So that makes my family neolocal.

Family

I live in a nuclear family (both parents and 2 younger brothers). Also my parents both make important decisions so that makes them egalitarian. My family also lives closer to my mom's side of the family so that makes us matriarchal.

My Family

The type of family I live in is a nuclear family. Currently, I live with my mother, my father, and two goldfishes. My family is run by egalitarian. Both of my parents decide important decisions for all members of my family. I live in a patrilocal since my parents live near my father's family. My parents live by hetrogamy to each other.

The family members that i live with are a nuclear family. I live with My older Brother, My sister, and both my mom and dad. But i do say that my family is matriarchal. Even though my grandparents on my dads side of the family does not live that far away from us, my grandparents on my moms side of the family live right down the street from us. My family has never lived far away from my grand parents just in case something happens so they decided to live close to both

My family

I live with my mom and little sister and that would make them my nuclear family. But I also use to live with my extended family befpre moving. My family is Matriarchal because my mom makes all the desicions around the house. We don't live near either of my dad's family or moms family so we are neolocal.

My house hold consists of only my nucular family. However, with my dad just getting a job in texas and my brother off at college i pretty much live in what seems to be a Matriarchy due too the fact that my mom is the only one around.Though it is just my mom and me my dad visits aboutevery other weekend and even though hes gone my parents sill form a strong Equalitarian family. My family is neolocal however we have lived most of our lives live fairly close to some family. At home my family is very relaxed and we often times dont fit many of the typical family norms such as eating at the dinner table with family.

My Family

My household is nuclear, I live with my mom, my dad, and my younger brother and sister. My house is located closest to my mom's parents house making us matriocal. But that is only by coincidence. We have lived in other states far away from all family in the past. My family prefers to be typically neolocal. My share the role of parenting making them egalitarian. My mom and dad always talk before they make an important decision that effects us all. They both share equal duties anywhere from discipline, money, bills, transporting children, etc.

My Family

I live in a nuclear family with my parents and my little sister. In Korea we were a matriocality and lived near my grandmother on my mom's side and we're a lot closer to my mom's side of my family in general. But not I guess we're a neolocality because we live in a totally different country than the rest of my mom and dad's families. In our house now, I think we're an egalitarian since both my parents work, but sometimges my dad will have more authority on one thing while my mom would have authority over another thing. So it's basically neutral.

Classic 1950s parent roles

I love in a nuclear family with both parents and my siblings. I would say there is an egalitarian rule between the parents when it comes to who is boss in the family. My parents are however the picture of the classic stereotype spouses. My dad is the sole provider and my mom is a stay at home mother. So in some ways it is a patriarchy because my dad does handle all the finances. But in other ways it's a matriarchy because my mom is more the discipline parent while my dad is the fun one.

The institution that contributed the most to my socialization is my family. They have taught me a lot and they have taught me the basics of living. Goverment has impact me the least because I never really understood it and it's not a part of socialization.

Family

I think I have a semi-nuclear family, in the way that I see my relatives every once in a while, but only my main family lives with me. My family is definitely a bilocality type of family, since my stepmom and dad dont make big decisions unless they come to an agreement. My family is very egalitarian since my parents share pretty much all the authority. all in all, my family is generally neolocal, since my dad doesn't live in the same town as my grandma, and my stepmoms mom lives in wisconsin, but we still see them semi often.

Family

My family that I live with would be a nuclear family. I live with my mom, dad, and brother, Mark. I would say my family is matriarchal because my mom mostly runs the household. My dad does play a part but I would say she dictates more. They understand that parenting is important for both the husband and wife to participate in. While we do live closer to my dad's family than my mom's, I would still say my family practices neolocality because we did not have to live somewhere in particular. My parents have a dual-earner marriage and while my mom brings in most of the money, my dad does contribute.

My Family

I would describe my family as a nuclear family. I think my family has bilocality characteristics, because we don't live near either my dad's or mom's family. Both of their families live in Park Ridge, about the same distance away from us. Also, neolocality applies to my family because we live apart from both sides. My family is also egalitarian because my parents share most of the authority. Sometimes it seems like patriarchal, and my father holds more authority, but he's just a little bit more strict. My parents make decisions together and also talk about things before they give my siblings and me an answer.

My Family

My family would be considered a single-parent family. My parents are divorced and I live with my mom majority of the time. My family would also be a matriarchal family because my mom holds most of the authority and makes the decisions. I would also say my family is matrilocality because we live near my mom's side of the family. I am also very close to my extended family and I see them all the time! I think all families are unique and they don't need to fit the expectations of the "perfect american family."

My Family

My family would be considered a nuclear family. It would be considered a patriarchy as my dad does most of the large decision making. Also, we are very close with my extended family, which includes my cousins, aunts and uncles. Family gives me emotional support and care for me. I believe many American families are different. In the end, family is family, biological or not.

Socialization

School has basically controlled my social life. The way I act, think, and talk seems to be because of interactions at school. My friends were all met basically at school. Going to school is a plus because it builds character and gets you out there to meet new people. If I stayed home I don't know how I would even turn out. I can't imagine what that girl on Oprah went through.

Quarter 4, Week 3: Your Family

Describe the type of family that you live in using at least 4 terms that were discussed in class.  For this week's assignment, you DO NOT need to comment on another student's post.

socialization

i think that religion has probably contributed the most in my life because the church is a big part of my life in a sense that most of my friends are from church and it has always been a place where i can be comfortable when i'm vulnerable. i would have to say that the government has contributed the least in my life because i donmt have any interest in polotics or any of that sort of thing.

Socialization

I feel that all social institutions have equal part take in my socialization, at first i thought that the government would be the one to stick out as the one institution to have the least effect, but as i started thinking about more and more I realized that at a family dinner we usually asks how everyones day was etc. then come up questions about church, then comes up economy and so on...it touches base on everything, they are all interconnected. Im sure other people might feel differently but from my perspective i feel that its all the same in shaping a person.

Socialization

My family has contributed the most to my socialization. they have taught me to be open, respectful and loving. When I was younger my family was who I was with the majority of the time so they have definitely made the most impact. I would say religion has had the least amount of impact on my socialization. My family isn't very religious .

Socialization

The institution that contributed most to my socialization is school. I spend most of my time in school and school sports with friends. And friends in school are a lot more supportive than my family is. I would have to say government contributes the least to my socialization. Government doesn't have anything to do with socialization.

Culture

I would have to say the institution that contributed the most to my social behavior would have to be school. For the first point, I didn't really go to church when I was smaller and my family kept out of my social life for the most part. So most of my friends came from school. The social side of school taught me to be more polite and to be a better person

Socialization

Education has contributed the most towards my socialization. At school I was able to see how all the other kids my age acted and then I followed suit. Constantly being in school for 7 hours a day with a bunch of kids my age made me realize how I should act in society. In school your always being put into different social situations and learning how to adapt. Religion taught me the least because the concepts behind it are already instilled into society; to be good, not steal or cheat, etc.

Socialization

In my experience my family is the thing that has contributed to me being the person I am today. I have a very tight knit family and they have taught me basically everything I know. Whereas the Government has probably taught me nothing. I learned honesty and loyalty from my family not the Government. With all the corruption in our Government the only thing it had taught me is how not to be.

Family and Education

My family is probably the most prominent social factor that has shaped who I am. I see them every day and interact every day. So therefore I am not a feral child. My parents raised me and shaped who I am. Secondly I'd say my education has helped shape me. Not the learning process but who I've met along the way through school. Teachers and other students. Every person you meet can change your life.

socialization

The two institutions that contributed the most to my development are education and family. Both have taught me values, traditions, and social norms to uphold. For example if I would have been home-schooled and never experienced public education I feel like I would be a completely different person then who I am today, the same goes for growing up in a different family. Religion is the social institution that has the least effect on me because I am not very religious, and although I've been to church I feel like it has impacted me very little as a person.

Socialization

I believe that education has socialized me the most. It is in school where I've met all of my friends and where I talk to the most people. You run into the most social problems with friends and learn how to properly respond to certain things. The one that has influenced me the least would probably be government. I have never talked to a government official and learned anything from them.

Cultures

American culture is as unique as they come. However I would say that the Machiguenga are the most similar. They put a huge emphasis on family just like in America. They also are very aware of the effects they have on the forest and how to least leave an impact. Their family roles are similar as well with the parents teaching the kids most of the necessary life lessons.

Socialization

Religion has contributed to my socialization the most. I grew up in a church so I've always kinda been around it. But I didn't go for a couple years because I wasn't into it anymore. Now that I am again, I've been able to see how much I can learn from not only the Bible but people at my church who have gone through crazy experiences and learned a lot from them. It also brings my parents and I a lot closer. The one that's contributed the least would probably have to be government.. I think it will be affecting me more in the future, and although I know a lot about politics, I've just started to pay attention to it and see how important it is to be informed.

Socialization

I feel that my family has contributed the most to my socialization because they taught me values and morals that I use everyday. They have taught me most of the things I know more than anything else on the list. I think government has had the least amount of impact on my socialization because I am not involved with government so how could that have any effect on me? I have nothing to do with the government so it doesn't have anything to do with my socialization.

Socialization

My biggest contributor to my socialization is my family. They have supported me by smiling at me when appropriate. Also, they have taught me basics of living such as wearing clothes and brushing my teeth. The least contributor to my socialization is economics. Economics has been changing, so I have been the same person. Currently, I am not changed by economics since I could be myself.

Socialization

I think that my family has contributed most to my socialization. They have taught me the rules that I live by and the morals I follow throughout my life. I spend a lot of time with my family, and they support me more then anyone else. I think the have contributed more to my socailization because from to moment that I was born, my parents and family have been my most influential teachers.

I think both my family and education have contributed most to my socialization. My family support and love me. They have helped me with a lot of stuff. I also learned a lot from them.On the other hand, I think both economy and government are ones that least contribute because i don't really worry about that stuff, it doesn't interest me.

Socialization

I definitely think education has contributed most to my socialization. I presume what is meant by the term education in this sense is not necessarily education itself but rather the educational environment that is given to us. Obviously, many of the friends I have made have been through attending the same school and the things I hear and notice in conversations among other persuades me to shut up and ignore some of the stupidity so that also has contributed. I also believe family is a close second in that sense. I think both economy and government are pretty equal in the least affecting seeing as how I have yet to have any involvement in both fields. I don't really know how one can at this age.

socialization

My family has been the biggest contributor. They have been around my whole life and I spend everyday with them. My parents have taught me morals and other important things needed to know for life. My sisters support me in anything. Overall out of all of the options my family has play the most important role.

Blog make up about anthropology

I think that out of all the different groups that we studied that the Macheguenga was the one most similar to the Americans. Its mostly because the respect shared between Males and Females in there everyday lives. Men and Women are a lot more equal in there and are world than in the Yanomama and !kung. Also they act more civilized torwards one another and family plays a huge role in both there lives.

sociolization

In my personal opinion i think family has played a much bigger part in my life than anything in my life. I have learned out to care for people and have learned how to be a part of something bigger than myself. I also learn a little bit about responsability everyday. Expecially being the youngest and seeing my sibling grow up i know what to do and what not to do. But i think school is another thing that is huge in a lot of peoples lives. No matter if you like it or not, you learn a lot of essential skills that you need in this world to be succesful in this world. Goverment isnt a big deal because a lot of kids dont know anything about politics and government. And when you are young goverment doesnt play a huge role in your life and when it does you dont take care of it your parents do

Socialization

My family has made me the person I am today they have shaped my morals and given me the viewpoints I have today. I think the social instituion that has had the least amount of affect on me would be the government beacuse they have not shaped my morals or viewpoints like my family has.

I dont know kinda

Reflection on this i believe family has the biggest impact on society. I learned the most from my family than anything else. The government has done nothing for any of us, they are just there to over see us and pretend like they matter.Family has taught me to be my own person , stand up for whats right and just do what makes you happy. There is nothing else in the world that could have the same affect. The government needs to just go away because they are useless.

Socialization

The social institution that has contributed most to my socialization is my family. My parents are the ones who taught me morals and have showed me what to expect in life. They are the ones who raised me and helped shape my interests and viewpoints. Although school was a big part of my education my family also taught me many things that added to my socialization. The institution that has contributed the least to my socailization would be the government. Government has always been in my life and something I was taught about but the government itself has not made my viewpoints what they are today or determined how I live my daily life.

Socialization

My family has contributed most to my socialization. They have had the greatest impact because I have spent my whole life with them. They have shaped me into the person I am today and I have no idea where I would be if they were not in my life. The institution that has contributed the least is government because I do not really pay that much attention to it, therefore it has not had a great impact on my life.

socialization

i accredit most of my socialization to my education. I think for most american kids they become socialized through their education because that's where they spend most of their time and meet and interact with new people.

Socialization

The social institution that has contributed most to my socialization is most definitely my family. This is because I have spent the most time with them and they contribute to my daily life. They have taught me key aspects for life and what is expected of me. The institution that contributed least would have to be the government. Although I do respect it and understand why it important, I do not believe it has shaped me as a person. While government is needed, I would still be the same person I am today if it did not exist.

Socialization

Family has contributed the most to my socialization. While my friends and surroundings have also added on, with my family is where I grew up and I don’t think I would be the same person if I didn’t grow up with the members of my family. They made me into a functioning human to start. They also shaped my personality and interests to what they are today. Not to say I totally rely on them for all social norms because I don’t. My family isn’t that normal. The factor that least contributed is definitely government. I grew up knowing about politics to stay informed with what was going on in the world, but I dont think it made much of an effect on my life directly.

Socialization

I think family has contributed most to my socialization. My parents divorce taught me a lot and was a huge part of my life. I am also really close to my family, and wouldn't be the same person without them.

Socialization

I think family is the social institution that has made the biggest impact. I believe that your family has a very large impact on how someone will be when they grow up. Since you learn everything from your family, you will be very similar to them in the future. You learn to talk, how to act, and even form similar views as your family. Therefore, family has the impact on socialization.

Socialization

For me, my socialization has been most dependent on school. I spend five days a week, eight hours a day, with the same people, in the same classrooms for 365 days. School is the place that I spend the majority of my time with, and at school I am surrounded by people who I've known for years. Through the things I learn, and the people I meet in school, I have become the person I am today. The values, the social skills, and behaviors that I've learned are mostly from my interactions with my classmates and teachers. The social institution that has contributed the least to my socialization is religion. This is mostly because I am not religious. For some people, religion m be a huge part of their lives, but for me it has contributed nothing to mine.

Culture

I think that the Machuguenga are the closest to be similar to the American culture. Machuguengas are learning how to speak spanish to comunicate with others, just like in America people are now learning how to speak other languages because most of the people in America are from a different raices and they have to learn how to comunicate with each other. Also the Machuguengas care about their families and their pets just like we do.

Socialization

I think school has contributed most to my own socialization and religion the least. Everyday I am around hundreds of kids which allows me to be more social rather than when I'm just at home with a few family members. I also get the chance to talk to different people which I normally wouldn't outside of school. School allows me to get a good education as well as meet a variety of people. Religion has contributed the least because I'm not really a religious person even though my family is catholic. Religion really hasn't made a huge impact on my life.

Socialization

I think my family has contributed the most to my socialization and religion the least. From the time I was born, my parents have taught me the values, manners and behaviors that I respect and follow today. Though school/friends have made me more social, my family taught me how to treat others and such. Religion has contributed least to my socialization because I never felt like I was a part of church when I went and it never really got through to me.

Cultures

I think that the Machiguenga are the most similar to American culture. They are peaceful and are not violent, just like us. They also care for family, that is one of the most important things in their life. That is how American culture is too, we care about our family. The Yanomamo are too violent and the !Kung dont even talk, they click to communicate. So the Machiguenga are the most similar.

EDUCATION & RELIGION

I feel that school has contributed the most to my socialization only because i has allowed to meet people that i typically wouldnt and it also opened my eyes to see who you think truly are your friends and who you think are your friends. School is not only for educational purposes, it's also a place for kids to be social and get to know others.
The place that has contributed the least to my socialization is religion because i don't believe in religion.. so i never go anywhere that's religion related. so yea.

!kung

i think that the !kung people are most like americans because of their teasing and making fun of others. in america you see that kind of stuff all of the time. and we also eat a lot on holidays.
