just another day at school!!

I was caught myself thinking sociologically when I was in gym class and it was a fitness day and we were playing basketball because it was one of the choices. As we started playing we did our usual thing as we played basketball where we would do crazy passes to each other behind the back and take our 3 point shots and our allieoops we were just all having a good time playing basketball and playing good together and succeeding, when all of a sudden the kids we were playing thought they could do the same thing and when they tried doing it they had the hardest time doing trick passes and all the cool things we were doing and thats when i was standing there saying they are doing the same thing we are doing just because we are doing so they figure hey if they can do it why dont we do that and try it. But in the end they just gave up with it and started to just have a good time with it and so did we because it was coming to the end of the gym hour. So thats when i caught myself thinking sociologically.

When It Goes Off!!!!!!

This short story was sent in London and this boy had to show his friend something that was going to happen and as they made their way to where they had to be the one boy was dragging his one friend that was following him and they had went to a bar and everything there was crazy and there were tons of people there drinking and there were so many people that not everyone could have a glass to drink from and then all of a sudden they all made their way out into the street and started moving toward a location (like a mob) and as they moved in a big crowd they were all very angry and pissed off becuase they were all searching for a man that had killed someone and if they had got their hands on him he would be tourtured and killed as well. As they all moved in a big crowd there was the police trying to keep them back and such and they are weapons that they were using and dgo they were using to keep the people back and at one point one of the children was struck acrosse the face with a chain that one of the police officer was swiming over their head. So over the period of time they were all moving angrily toward where everything was going to happen and something was going to break out they had to move down the street and get past the police and what they were trying to do to keep all those people back from doing what they were going to do.

oh man oh man oh man!!!

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when i was in gym class and we had started a new unit and that unit was volleyball. So the teach had sat us down and started to talk to us about what we were going to be doing and then he started telling us the basics of volleyball. Like Bump,set,and spike. As he began to say that and then explain that you got the sudden roar of student going OHHH MANN!!!!!! that is boring lets just play games. So as the teach came to an end of explaining he had all the students grab a volley ball and start serving over the next the one another to get the feel of it and then we moved onto bumping and setting, Over all everyone was doing it but we were all screwing around while doing it because at least half the class or even more than half the class knew exactly what to do and had done it before. This here shows an act of deviance amongst the student because they werent doing what they were ask to do.So throughout the entire class period everyone was having a good time and screwing around. So among the whole gym hour that when I had found myself thinking sociologically, because all the student were acting some what the same to a certain extent by screwing around and having a good time but making it look like they are participating in gym and doing what they were supposed to be doing.

Drugs at a young age

In this article i have read for homework it talks about how there are many kids doing drugs these days no matter what race they are. They are also saying that a majoirty of them are of the ages or 16,17 or 18 and are treat upon request on where they are placed in the jail system. 17 year old are placed in juvie but can be moved to a adult prison upon their 17th birthday and 18 year olds are automatically transfered on their 18th birthday no matter what because they are of age. They have also witnessed kids at the age of 15 selling narcotics and that means that their driving privilages when they get older are reasoned with. So the way that they have been cracking down and tacking care of this situation has impacts the different ways they are taking care of the situtations.

JAIL......dun dun dun....eh it wasnt that bad

So my post this week is about our class field trip to jail and the court house. From the moment I had got the sheet of paper saying that we had a field trip and that it was going to be to the dupage county jail in the weirdest way i was a happy man but kinda scared at the same time cause i mean comon jail is not a place to be all hyped up about because you are going there. But anyways i had thought thatit was going to be the coolest thing in the world with the little bit of scared down in the pit of my stomach. So as we were on our way to jail i was thinking on the bus what is going to be the reactions of the inmate and they going to talk dirty to us and make us feel real scared or were they just going to stand there and looks at us, well as that time came upon us it seems that it was a little bit of both. But as the trip went on it had seemed like i had been everywhere in the jail and court houses which was the funnest part cause you got to walk into real court cases and visualize and see what they were like and how the people of the court do their jobs.

But over all i would have to say that going to jail was not only educational but also showed you that once you have been there because you wanted to be there is one thing but to be there because you did something that got you there is a whole nother way of thinking about it. So with the information that i had learned and visialized being in the court system but also going into the jail system was something that i will alway remember and that i had alot of fun with .

Life Lesson

Responding to the article I have just read the whole time it struck me at at a younger age your really dont have any sense of what is right or wrong or a girl or boy to play with because they both always see to play together and do the same things because that is what they are used to and that it what they wanna do. And as their time progresses as a child all they think about and remeber is that they like the things they play with or like the things that they see others playing with cause it catched their attention. But as time progresses and they get older and it seems to be that they are still liking and doing the same things as they did when they were younger just means they haven't come out of their child minds yet and figured out the right and wrongs of what they are supposed to like whether it is a toy truck or if it is a barbie doll. Another thing that might factor this is the way that the parents teach them to either play with or what clothes they need to put on accourding to their gender. But all in all that is just the way younger kid are because they are born and don't know the right and wrong or the do's and don't or what things are reflected toward their gender because all they are doing is see what life is.

Everyday is something new

All of a sudden, i found myself thinking sociologically when i was at lunch. I was sitting at my table with the rest of my friends enjoying my lunch when my one friend next to me decided to start shooting food off of a blown up sandwich bag (kinda like a blob) just because one of the guys started doing it cause they thought it was funny. After i while i had started to notice that they were the only ones doing it the rest of the guys at the end of the table were doing it to and giving then stuff to shoot and encouraging and laughing along with them. When i had thought to myself the only reason they are shoot stuff off a blown up sand which bag it because my two friends were doing. And they were having fun and ontop of it not getting in trouble or caught by the teacher or who ever was on lunch duty that day. So over all that when i had caught my self thinking sociologically because all the guys at the one end of the table were all acting the same cause they all wanted to fit in at the moment when they were shoot stuff off of a blown up sandwich bag.

Just another day

All of a sudden, i found myself thinking sociologically when i was in my gym class. I had walked into gym class with a bunch on my mind when i had realized it was fitness day meaning another day not playing flag football. We had all dressed and got into the gym so the teachers could check who was there and who wasnt and when had then split into out groups. So me and my friends had picked to play basketball that day and we were all on a team together. So as we started to play basketball we were all having fun just playing and doing what we needed to do when it was time to switch to a different opponent to verse, when the opposing team had come and start to play we were all having a good time when all of the kids on the opposite team started to act weird and do stupid stuff and just screw around and do what they wanted. At that moment thats when i had noticed that all of the kids on that team were all acting alike just to fit in basue all of the guys were doing the same thing so the other guy thought "crap well they are doing those things so it must be ok for me to do the same thing" so they did so. And i had noticed this because all the guys on the team were acting alike just to fit in and go with the flow to fit into the group and do the same thing. Thats when i has found myself thinking sociologically.

whats the heck is going on !?

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when i was at one of our football games. I had just got there and had started to head in to start walking to the stands where the squad was when i had noticed a group of guys all standing around talking and doing whatever they were doing when i had noticed that they were all pretty much dressed the same way and ontop of it all acting the same way and all doing the same stupid stuff, whether is was yelling at somone for no reason or just annoying someone cause thats what they do.
Well as i kept walking along i had thought to myself what is the point of doing all those things just to fit in rather than just being yourself and do things that are nice then annoying someone else or doing something stupid that would get you in trouble. So as i went on i had thought..well i guess thats how alot of people act when they are in groups of people they are always with and around because they are trying to fit in and be part of the group or croud so they don't stick out and look like the odd ball.

What I saw

All of a sudden, i found myself thinking sociologically when I was sitting in lunch. I had been sitting there enjoying my lunch and all of a sudden my friend thought it would be funny to punch me cause we were all screwing around anyways just having a good time at lunch. (and i knew his was doing it to just joke around and such) So through out lunch he had kept doing it and i really didnt care that much cause i knew he was joking around and we were all just having a good time.

Then the next day it had happened again when my friend had started to punch me and we were all screwing around again just having a good time. When my friends sitting acrosse from me had started to punch me every so often too. and he had been punching me kinda hard in the sholder which then started to arritate my sholder and make it start to hurt. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.......i think that the only reason that my friends sitting acrosse from me started to punch me to was becasue he thought it would be funny because my other friend was punching me to and i wasnt really caring that much and that he wanted to fit in and be like everyone else in the group. Then he had punched me one last time and i had, had it and i told him to stop punching me and he looked at me like i was stupid and why should he stop cause my othewr friend was doing to but he knew that i was seriouse and he had stopped.

So over all i had notice this i think out of all the other things that were going on because when my friend had started to punch me it was all because if he thought if my one friend was doing it that it would be ok for him to do it and he would fit in and everything would be ok. So that how i had caught myself thinking sociologically.

Bemused in America

1.Article is Bemused in America and the topic i examined is about a journalist that examines aspects of American culture.
2. What Stefan finds strange about the American culture is the speed limit cause in Germnay there is really no set speed limit. What also is strange to him is that there are signs everywhere telling him how to behave
3. I think that Stepfan finds the American culture strange because of when he used to live in German you everything is different and you can do different things and certain things are permitted and that you cando them whenever. Where as to in America there are alot of things that you cant do that are ok to go in Germany which is hard for Stefan. And also it may be different cause the way he might of lived in Germany might be different to how u can live in America.
4. Some American values that can be ralted are smoking cause you can only smoke in certain area due to rules and regulations that are set and care for the other people of the world. like at resturantsand bars and pretty much anywhere. Another one could be the way people live and do things in America as to how they live and do things in Germany. Driving could be another one cause in Germany they dont really have a set speed limit and it isnt very safe where here they have certain speed limits in certain place givig saftey to other. (like in constuction areas)

Helping others

Sociology is a matter of how people react and act in a groups. When my brother had started to work at WDSRA (Western Dupage Special Recreational Association) i wanted to know what it was about and always wonder what he did. He would come home from work everyday, which consisted of work with mentally challenged kids and adapted kids and working with them in either sports or different fun activities to work with the kids, teens and adults. So after hearing what my brother did i wanted to tag along and see it in action.
After Going to some of the adapted programs and helping out i had really got a kick out of it and enjoyed helping out. But the activity that i enjoyed the most and that my brother loved coaching was wheelchair basketball. So when going to practice with him i had got a chance to talk to the team and interact with them in practice and see what Wheelchair basketball is all about. I had work with them on different techniques and actually rode around and played in a wheelchair with the kids on the team and observing and playing with the them in a big group and seeing how they get along and and work together in groups/as a team being disabled either being if they were a paraplegic or had a spinal cord injury. But over all i loved working with the kids and the basketball team when my brother was working at WDSRA and not that he is coaching the men's basketball team at the University of Whitewater its a different experience helping out there. But over all working with them as a team and seeing how they react and work together in groups is absolutely amazing.

who am i??

Who am i really.....?
Chris B...am Athletic and a fun person to be around. Being around people i have just met being shy is the factor but eventually im open and crazy...just ask most of my friends who i have been friends with since i was in preschool. Going through life dreaming of what to be or what to do i was interested in many things. But today a senior in high school i have decieded thaat factor and have figured out what i would like to do.

Growin up around my older brother and my twin brother we have always done stuff together. after seeing that my older brother played baseball thats what i wanted to do. I played baseball and soccer all my life till i hit 8th grade. When i hit high school i lost the intrest of baseball and soccer and wanted to try something new. that when i took up lacrosse and have been playing lacrosse since freshman year and absolutly love it. Now the only sport i do full time in the spring is lacrosse, and when i have time and hang with my friends i play any sport that i love to do .

Going through life always trying to figure out what i want to do was something i always thought about. At first i always wanted to be a police officer and so something crazy and help people.But today after watching my brother and what he does as i job i decided wow this is so cool i think i know what im going to do with my life. My brother works at WDSRA (western dupage special recreational association) and works with special ed kids and a handicapped kids. But what her does the most is he coached wheelchair basketball. He used to coach a team named Windy City Warriors and coached them for a couple of years and loved it. Then he had decided to go back to a out of state college in Wisconsin going to the University of White Water Wisconsin coaching the mens wheelchair basketball team as the assistant coach.

As i move on in life i would like to eventually get married and have kids and life the life i was raised by and take that and share that with my kids and teach and show them the same things my parents taught and showed me when i was younger and until i went independent.
