different customs

It is amazing how many different customs there are in one country. We all have our own way of living and culture we follow. It is crazy how we all live in teh same time period and how very different things can be like bathrooms and runin water. I never realized that in some countries they dont have runing water. I just assumed that in this day and age everyone had when that is not the case at all . it is so weired to think that people live so diffently then we do.

Social Construction of Reality

In the movie their reality in the neighbrohood is socially constucted of how people see them and what other think. At this time blacks were seen as bad people and that is why they think blacks are bad. Some unwritten rules are that you should not be a rat and tell on other people it is seen as a bad thing. The people in the neighbrohood don't mess with the mob becasue other wise they know they will pay for it. The people in the niebrohood treat anyone who is has anything to do with Sonny very well becasue they know he has their back. I do see the racist attitudes as a social construction becasue they seperate themselves by neighbrhood by race and others don't really get to interact with other racises becasue it is looked down at. They also swear at the blacks and call them names when they have not done anything.

VOLUNTEERING

I have volunteered before. I had to volunteered for environmental and it was really cold out. The people were really nice. we had to cut down trees. The person who was watching us told us about the environment and was vary nice. I also volunteered at a homeless shelter and the people were not so welcoming and others were. We sured them food and i think some people felt like you shouldn't bother and others were very welcoming. The children were happy to have someone to play with and had lots of fun. This showed me that is all depends on the type of people you volunteer with and what you do.

The Survivors of F-227

This aticle was grouse, but when it comes down to what they had to do I think I would have done the samething in order to survivge. Eventhough you don't want to think about eatting other people if that was the only way for you to survive msot people I think wouold have done the same thing. I see how this relates to sociology becasue this is how people acted in a bad situation and sociology is how people act. I look at it in the way that the people were already dead anyways and that it isn't like they are killing the people and then eatting them. I would never do something like this unless the situation was really bad and that was the only way for me to survive.
