Analysis Of A Sociological Autobiography

There were many people in my life that got me to who I am today. My family and friends were the main people that influenced who I am. There were many events that influenced me but the most recent one is picking early college.

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

Growing up may not always be easy but you learn a lot about yourself through the journey. In my first year of elementary school, one of my friends was getting bullied by a boy. He would push her down after recess and make her feel really bad about herself. It got to the point where he would do it every single day and I got sick of it. I had to step in and stand up for her, so I ended up yelling at him for being mean to her. I never gave up for her. He was surprised that I stood up for her because no one else did. I never realized why he was being mean to her until I got older because he was white and she was black. He was being mean to her because of her race and gender. (November 13).

2014 Fall Semester in the begining was going pretty good i was excited to began school , adapting to the new college life, and interacting with friends and new people. I was attending all my classes on time , studying , and completing the required assigments that needed to be done. I also was working a full-time at Gensis Logistics it wasnt easy trying to manage my schedule , but i tried to make it work the best i could. MTE 1 , 3 , and SDV was a breeze to me I was completing my assigments , studying , and understanding the information that was given to me. Now on the otherhand ENG wasn't hard for me i just didnt understand the content that was teached by the teacher. English was always the strongest subject for me so i couldnt understand why it was such a problem in college , maybe it was the teacher and her teaching methods. I never understood any information that was given it seemed to me like our class was always off topic one class period we would talk english, and then another class period we would talk about something else besides english. Then she assigned papers and assigments that was unfamilar to me it seem like everytime she assigned the class papers

Another way that sociology would better my career would be by analyzing behaviors of criminals and patterns that they leave behind on the victims. With certain crimes you will be able to identify the criminals upbringing by their immoral actions. You’ll be able to identify the perpetrator by the basics you learn in Soc 101. Sociology gives you the tools to look outside the box and to look further into examining people. Analyzing is going to be a key element in pathology because i would have to examine bodies and analyze all the information in order to determine the cause of death.

I was surprised that I didn’t know most, or any in that matter, of the lower and upper class questions. Most of them I didn’t even understand what they were talking about. For example, I was completely lost by the question about the free medical clinics, I had no idea where any would be and that could be life or death information for someone else. Or even the question about your favorite restaurants in different countries, I’ve barely left the U.S let alone know any of my favorite restaurants. I understood most of the middle class section, which is where I would say my family is at. My family had always decorated the house for different holidays, so I know exactly how to do this. It surprised me that someone would not know the answers to the

My uncle found Steve and me jobs and willing spon-sors, and three years later we emigrated to New Jersey. We were beyond excited! We felt as though the world was at our feet, and we were moving on to a new and exciting chapter of our lives.

Describe how your family, schooling experiences, or culture have colored the way you carry out your ideas of authority as a teacher.

Sorry for getting back to you so late. Unfortunately, I'm not teaching any American History courses this week. We have a field trip on Monday and Andrew is and will prepping them all week. My sociology class meets tomorrow from 10:44-12:36, but they will be starting a project, and we'll be in the library for most of the period.

Tomorrow, I will sit in somber silence as my neighbors set fire to their money in the form of loud noise and spectacular light shows. Very few know WHY they do it; it's just a day to party. I was born (so I am told) in 1965. I became aware of the concept of "freedom" sometime in the seventies. While in school I learned I lived in the “land of the free” and got my drivers license, my fishing license, hunting license, and was given all my shots, certainly against my will at the time. The eighties and nineties, I quit school (Thank you, Mr. Harrison for being a man of honor and telling the class that you did not believe what you were required to teach!)and went in a pursuit of the almighty dollar, starting a family, maintaining a home, sitting

A sociologist defines capital as the assets and individual has that they use for social benefit. This concept of social capital creates a structure that is carried on from generation to generation. A lack of capital can severely inhibit someone’s college experience, because with insufficient finances, and an inability to network an individual may not be getting the ideal college experience.

My experience in Intro to Sociology has given me insight on many concepts in society that I was unaware had already existed and some I had already experienced. I leave knowing the terminology that is associated with these phenomenons and the evidence from studies to prove that systematic problems such as sexism, and corruption in the criminal justice system, do exist. I know why society functions the way it does today and the history behind it. This information has helped me to form solid opinions about concepts such as politics and philosophy, using the case studies that we evaluated to support my claims and beliefs.

To the person(s) who has been given the important but tedious honor of sorting through all the personal statements and letters of intent,

Man is a product of the culture in which he is born and brought up. For the same reason, no one can negate the influence of the society in forming one’s personality. I am well aware of the fact that my views, thoughts, and attitude have been shaped by the society I live in; hence, any attempt to sketch my personal experiences would be incomplete without referring to the part played by my surroundings. Throughout my life, I have paid utmost importance to initiating and maintaining interpersonal relationships with others. I had to face varied situations out there, both joyous and depressing. However, each instance was a great lesson for me to learn several things about my practical life – I wouldn’t be exaggerating when I say that I have learned more outside the four walls of my classroom than within them. My autobiography is closely associated with my social connections including my experiences with my family, educational institution, and the larger society I reside within.

Many people view poems and other pieces of writing in different ways, there is no wrong or right way to interpret a work of someone, it merely your point of view; your opinions. In Sylvia Plath’s poem “Daddy”, many could say that it was a about a hard relationship she had with her father, but how do we know? It could be about her father, husband, strong authority figure, or even God. But, as I read “Daddy” I got the strong sense that it was mostly about her father. The poem suggests that she had either an unhealthy relationship with him or she was angry with him for leaving her. In the poem, Plath says “I have always been scared of you” (41); I view this as she may not have had the best relationship with him. Maybe he was abusive or mean.
