My name is Stephanie M. and I am a Psychology Major at the University of Idaho. Currently, I am enrolled in Sociology 101 and find it to be very interesting as I learn more about our own society and how it functions. It is sometimes easy to forget that everything we do, including our private thoughts and dreams, is shaped through our interactions with others, especially others close to us. Whether we like it or not; we are born into groups and spend most of our social lives in those very same groups. These groups teach us more than we realize about society and ourselves.
Sociology makes you start to question your own culture and various cultures within our world. Have you ever questioned how did we get here? Look around you and could you imagine not having a TV, telephone, or even electricity. Well in some societies this is the "norm". What makes us unique? What would it be like if all societies where the same?These are some of the questions I started to ask myself in my sociology class. So come on in and see if you can answer some of these vary same questions with me as we review sociology at a glance. Don't take sociology for granted, it is what makes you unique!
Michael Jackson (1995) writes about the importance of our Earth and those who live on are destroying not only each other but their planet as well.
Earth Song
Songwriter: Michael Jackson
What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things?
That you said we were to gain
What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shared before?
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying earth the weeping shores?
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this weeping shore?
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shared before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this weeping shore?
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
What about rain?
What about all the things?
That you said we were to gain
What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shared before?
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying earth the weeping shores?
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this weeping shore?
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shared before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this weeping shore?
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
