One topic I enjoyed in this class was social interaction and social structure. Social interaction is how we interact with others in the world. Social structure is our status in the world. The one thing that stood out to me was the three different statuses. Ascribed status is a part of us, something that will never go away. My ascribed status is that I am an African American woman. Achieved status is the things we accomplish in life and put effort into. These are the things we freely do. My achieved status would be when I was in High School and I volunteered to mentor small kids at an elementary school. Also when I help my Aunt every year with grading her papers and helping her teach at her school. Master status is the status that makes up your …show more content…

One component is our self-concept, or who we think we are. I see myself as being someone with a good heart who always makes sure others are good. I’m willing to do anything I can to help others out. Another part of us is our self-esteem, or what we think we are worth. When I was younger I had low self-esteem because I am an only child so the people I hang out with mostly are friends. I had this feeling that I just had to have everyone as a friend and had to be liked by everyone. As I grew up I learned that not everyone is going to like you so I had to work on myself to build my self-esteem. This section helped me learn how we determine our self-identity and …show more content…

It was on September 9th at the Austin360 Amphitheater and it had started a seven that night. At this concert was a mixture of artist such as Chris Brown, Omarion, Kid Ink, Fetty Wap, French Montana, and Teyana Taylor. The concert was called One Hell of a Nite Tour. From the many different topics we have learned in Sociology I noticed that there was only a specific group of people at this concert. When I had looked around I noticed that it was only people within the age range of about 18-25. Most of the people I talked to there were college students. It was a mixture of all races but it was diverse. You could easily tell who the wealthy was and who did not have much money. The wealthy people sat up close to the performers, while the ones with not much money was on the

  • What Does External Factors Affects Our Sense Of Self And Happiness?

    1302 Words  | 3 Pages

    From society to family to media, external influences never seem to disappear from everyday life. These outward forces tend to leave a lasting impression on us for as long as we live. Because they are so prevalent in our daily lives, exterior factors will have a significant influence on us, specifically our sense of self and happiness. When defining our sense of self, it eventually comes down to how we interpret our individual self-image. In most cases, we do not truly know who we are from our own mindset. Therefore, we take into account the reactions that those around us have an influence on our actions and decisions. From these external effects, we create the persona of who we are.

    In 1998, Judith Rich Harris became famous since she made a point on the cause of children’s behavior, that “in some key sense, parents don’t much matter—that what’s important is not what children learn inside home but what they learn outside the home (peer influence)” (Malcolm Gladwell, 1998). This point does make sense, because children always have a need to “fit-in”, to have friendships and to gain a sense of belonging from their peer groups. Apparently, learning from their peers can make the process much easier, since people who have common hobbies and share similar values tend to stay together, and that’s usually how a peer group is formed. Considering the generation gap between parents and children, copying the behaviors and thoughts of parents can do no benefit to fulfill the need of peer relationships.

    The Scripture that calls me to the ministry apart for being a church member is 1 Samuel 16:1-13. More precisely verse seven, which states, “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart” (King James Version, 1 Sam. 16:7). After reading this, God destroyed any excuse of not answering the call of God in my life. This Scripture tells me God does not emphasize the outward abilities, strengths, appearances, or social status, but the Lord focuses on the heart. My Lord first reached out to me on February 14, 2000; when God visited me, this was my first experience

    The image of a pastor entering the pulpit from among the pews in the sanctuary described by Long is one that resonates with me, because it is genuinely where I am entering from. Perhaps it is to be expected when someone answers the call to ministry later in life, but I approach homiletics as a member of the body of Christ first and foremost. Experience as a member of the congregation and a Member in Discernment have taught me that the pastor has many responsibilities, but good, solid preaching is of the greatest import.

    During the weekends when I go home, I am given the pleasure of working in the after-service tutoring programs that happen at my local church. Children of all different ages get help from the Youth Group in a multitude of areas that range from statistics to simple grade-school math or writing. Children are split up based on grade-level (elementary, middle, and high school) and then once again split by the subject they need assistance in. They are then assigned teachers based on which grade levels the volunteers signed up to teach and what subjects they are adept to teach in. Though it is more of a tutoring session than an actual classroom lecture, the basics are the same and it is a great experience for both the students and the tutors. I generally

    Two courses that I feel made the biggest impact on me through this course were week 5 of PEDG 5372 Assessment Data to Guide Instructional Decisions and week 5 of PEDG 5373 Student Expectations and Motivations. Both of these courses were taken at the beginning of this journey to complete my Master’s program and both were taken in the summer before my second year teaching. I learned so much more from these courses than I did during my student teaching and my first year teaching combined. I feel that teachers are expected to hit the floor running and there is no true “training period” or period of transition, you just have to know what you know and learn as you go. These courses helped me to be more focused and knowledgeable about data and how to use it effectively and also about what motivates students and
