Sociology 101 has taught me many things, I discovered many things about myself which I was not expecting. I had my mind set, that this course was going to be about the way people socialize in the world. I was wrong, once I stared reading chapter one it reminded me of psychology 101, but sociology is more like seeing the connection between larger social forces and personal experiences. I’ve read the chapters we were assign to, and it has opened my mind to understand people more than I ever could imagined. I believe this course has helped me in my job environment since the medical field deals with quiet a few of ethics, reading and learning about different cultures it will allow me make my job easier when I have to help out with a patient before …show more content…
This chapter has taught me so much! Especially since I want to adopt in a few years once I have my career. I learned that there’s two methods of adopting an unrelated person: one an adoption may be arranged through a licensed agency or in some states it can be arranged through a private agreement by the courts. My goal is to adopt a Mexican kid from Mexico and reading about this chapter, it is possible to adopt a child from abroad. By the year 2016 over 6,400 children entered the United States as the adopted children of the U.S citizens. In this Chapter I also learned about FMLA. I have worked at Renown for almost 3 years and never asked anyone what FMLA stand for or why have 480 hours? FMLA stands for Family and Medical Leave Act which started in 1993. This entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid time off for a specified family and medical reasons. This is ideal for a new born since they can get up to two months off with FMLA. In the United States 76.2% agrees that one full-time working parent should have at least two months paid leave to care for a child. While Russia agrees up to …show more content…
As a child I never comprehend why we prayed for a person that has pass or when someone was super sick and was at the hospital. As a child I thought praying would solve the issue, since god is perfect in power and ruler of the universe. I prayed for hours and days while crying for my grandpa to get better. It’s insane how religion can allow us to do something about misfortunes we face throughout life, how praying will change their condition or to accept their death. I always thought Islam was largest single faith in the world but it’s not. Christianity is the largest single faith in the world. They both based on a single deity, both include a belief in prophets, an afterlife, and a judgement day. I never understood when I met a Christian and said “I was born again” I never understood what I meant or bother to ask, till I found it on this chapter. “Born Again” is a turning point in one’s life making a personal commitment to Jesus. According to a 2014 national survey, 35 percent of people in the United states claim they have had a born-again Christian experience at some point in their
The Christian life is very different then the life that most non-christians live.
As previously stated, FMLA is only applicable to employees who have been employed within the respective company for at least twelve month (need not be consecutively) and have worked at least 1,250 hours within that same time frame. “Eligibility requirements exclude many workers. In other words, close to half of the American workforce has no FMLA protection (Walsh, 2013). Application to Course Concepts Both employers and employees are favorable for paid time-off benefits.
Chapter 4 talks about socialization and the life course consider that learning to behave appropriately in an occupation is a fundamental aspect of human socialization (pag.94). The activities during the work time can be considered as an important agent of socialization. The socialization in the workplace changes when the people have a full time job and this process can be most powerful during the transition from school to job, but it continues along the work story because men and women changes of work position when they earn an educational degree, or changes of employers or places to work many times during their lives. On the description about the workers in Manchester I forgot to mention that most of the workers that looking a place to eat
The study of Sociology really surprised me in a good way. It allowed me to view society from different light as though I was learning it for the first time. Although many of the topics I was already familiar with, Sociology really allowed me to understand much better how society makes the world go round. I definitely have a greater respect for it. There were many topic that I enjoyed throughout the course such as the history of Sociology all the way to chapter 13 that discussed how people and society views Education and religion, but the topics I found most interesting where Socialization, Race and Ethnicity, Deviance and Social Control, Politics and Economy and Education and Religion.
Now we’ve lost our Judeo-Christian heritage and its byproduct – a Christian culture¨ (David). And with a last note, Travis Mitchell, also, an article writer, who wrote an article called,"Religion in Everyday Life." ¨For example, nearly half of highly religious Americans – defined as those who say they pray every day and attend religious services each week – gather with extended family at least once or twice a month.1 By comparison, just three-in-ten Americans who are less religious gather as frequently with their extended families.
Essay 4 Sociological Insights to Station Eleven “It was gorgeous and claustrophobic. I loved it and I always wanted to escape” (Mandel, 2014, p. 74). When faced with a world of destruction, disease, and chaos, one might insist that they wish for the old world - the one with refreshing swimming pools and television sets that make perfect lives glow on a fluorescent screen before you. Yet, at times, everyone wants to leave that world behind for another; no more first world problems or killing on the T.V. screens, just a chance to start over.
Since the birth of Christianity, followers of the religion have been instructed to follow a particular philosophy on life -- to reflect the life that Jesus Christ lead on Earth. The New Testament of the Bible is one lengthy instruction manual for Christians -- with books written by the Apostle Paul, John, and Luke. These three men based their stories off of their experience with the Lord and their literal and figurative walk with Jesus Christ. Most of the New Testament is filled with parables from their lives that end with life lessons -- or instructions for Christians to follow. Through these recounts of Paul, Luke, and John, one is able to relate and and reflect on their own life to discover how they should live their life in Christ’s image.
All of a sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when I went to practice for a week and evaluated the ways that my team falls into sociological trends. I chose to observe the softball team at Rollins College that I am a part of. Although going to practice, playing in games, and going to dinner together are seemingly mundane and habitual tasks, is there a deeper meaning behind the behaviors and conversations that take place throughout these encounters? Being a member of a team means maintaining certain behaviors, relying on others, and most importantly being controlled by a coach or leader. Although all of the members probably think we are in control, there is a different power dynamic at play.

According to the Dictionary, Sociology is defined as the study of the development, structure, and functioning of human society. This means that people are willing to study social problems throughout the world and the society that they live in. In my life, I deal with my social class, Gender, Race, Religion, and the time I was born. Because of who I am, I definitely have been a part of a different upbringing and lifestyle that many sociologist may find interesting.
Adoption is something that many people don’t think about. Many people only consider adoption if they can’t have a child, if they are lonely, or if they want a big family. However, most people adopt internationally rather than locally. International adoption is known to be popular. Many people don’t realize that we as a society do have an adoption problem in our communities.
