All of the sudden i found myself thinking Sociologically.....

Last weekend i went Christmas shopping. That's when i saw that the social classes exit among us. While i was shopping i could clearly identify witch people are a middle middle class, or upper middle class, and with one are working classes. There is a huge difference on what kind of gifts people pick to buy depending on their classes. Of course the upper middle class would buy more expensive gifts. Also gifts for more people. The Middle middle class were buying gifts that were less expensive and for close family mostly. The working class were buying gifts that are much less expensive and it was mostly for their kids so they can make a wonderful Christmas for their kids.

In the pas week i was thinking a lot how easily people can fall for one class to another.... especially now when there is a huge recession and so many people are getting fired of their jobs. Being in the upper middle class some people are falling all the way to the working class and getting a minimum wage jobs. At this time you never know what will happen one  day because it  is so unexpected and no one can really tell when their class will change.

WHEN IT GOES OFF.....

 This article is talking about the huge protest that was going on in London. There was an unfairness about the murder and a lot of people were very angry about the whole trail think. Robert was the main character of the article and he really wanted his friends to experience this group interaction. There were so many people and and there were so many police trying to control the crowd however it was difficult to do it because there were soo many angry people. The social factors in this article are: Structural constructiveness is that there was a huge protest goin on. Social strain is that a lot of people were were at the same place at the same time. Growth and spread of a generalized belief is that so many people that were affected by it. It started by the one person and it started spreading around the other person. Precipitating factor is that there were many people that got upset.   The murder got them very upset and the unfairness by the trail got them even more upset. Mobilization of participants for action is that people are getting effected by the action of others. Inadequate social control is the all the policeman and all the people are trying to control this huge upset group.
This article have a very good understand on the protest and the different social factors.

All of the sudden i found myself thinking Sociologiclly.....

This week in class we learned a lot about the groups. So that's when i started thinking about how many different groups i am a part of. The major one for me is my family. i have my mom's side, my dad's side and my step dad's side. I consider  my mom's and dad's side as primary groups because i spent so much time with them and i knew them for so ling. We are very close. However i consider my step dad's family as a secondary because i just cannot connect with them and i have not know them for very long. my family cooperates a lot because we always positive and tries to help each other no matter what. My roles in my family are to be a role model to my little sister be a good daughter to my parent an fallow their rules and be a good granddaughter to my grandparents also we respectful to everyone.
My other group that i am part of is my basketball team. I consider them as a secondary group because we all share the same interest and we all are working for the same goal. We work by cooperation because that is very important in the team sport. We all are trying to help each other to get better. However their might be some conflict also when we have to compete against each other for the same spot. I consider myself as a player a teammate. My roles on the team is to be a good leader to be respectful and to listen to my coaches. 
There are many other groups that i am a part of im a student, im a volunteer, am a sports fan and  much more. It feels good to have people around you...:)
