All of the sudden i started thinking sociologically when, one weekend i went to a very small town. This mall town is Putnam, IL. A town that education is not the first instinct to do for a young kinds. However their first priority is to work on the farm from the sun rise to the sunset. It made me want to get inside their shoes and see why they do not wanna go to school? why they do not want to get an education and a better life? Seeing all these young girls walking around with their children and the tummy sticking out made me realize how lucky some people are. But then again i started thinking about those young girls and young guys... They do not know better. They do not know how doest it like to go to school and have an education. They did not realize that maybe they are too young to have kinds.It made me realize a lot and it made me think so much. By thinking i came to the point were it made me realize that these kids do not have a great role models. They do not have no one to look up to and we all know that we always like to have a role model and that open person we always look up to. Sadly these kids do not have this opportunity in the land of no where.
I do believe that we all need someone to look up to and these kids cannot do that. When i visited the small town that's when i started thinking sociologically. In the land of nowhere.

Wow! You had a very Max Weber weekend--you totally walked in the shoes of the townspeople you encountered, thinking about why they make the decisions they do. Nice analysis!
