When it comes to the education system I have already saw that in previous examples that is what basically molds us into being the person we are which that means morals and society norms. Politics is also very much involved in our education system because I know in my history classes I was able to determine what type of party my teacher sided with and it kind of gives us a bias opinion. When it comes to voting many are pushed to vote but not everyone doe but I feel like although society tells us too and tries to say the importance not exactly does everyone listen and that is the issue. With both politics and schooling the education system was designed to shape us into being adults and to get ready for the real world. We were molded before we even knew it and that is the same with the family we are given as well they mold many of our biases as well.

When we think of school we all universally agree as a society that kids need to go to school whether that be because society tells us to or because we know that is in the kids best interest. In school even the earliest days I remember playing the roles as a mother or playing cook in the play kitchen and now as I am older I realize how many society roles I learned as a kid and I didn’t even realize that which is the crazy part.In kindergarten although I was young society was already molding me with the norms of society whether that was the boys playing with cars while the girls were playing with the babies in a separate room. As a child the boys had cooties so we would really never go into the guy section and play with their toys although I remember loving to play cars on the soft carpet that had a road on it so I used to go and play with it if we were at recess and the boys were outside playing . We were taught to listen to the older person and to remain quiet and things in that nature and that followed us into life itself because it still holds true today . During show and tell many times it was a way of expressing our sense of self and in reality we got to know all of each other and the things that were basically part our “norm” such as a teddy bear or something of importance. It is crazy that the little things like that shaped me to be for the most part who I am today and at the point I didn’t realize . It holds true to the fact that as a kid that is the biggest part of the molding process and when I look back at the past I can see that’s society already impacted me before even I thought it did I was already getting shaped how society worked and how I was supposed to function in society.

About 5 days ago me and my mom had went on a little hike not really exactly a hike but rather a more nature walk and with this whole pandemic it has been very heavily trafficked on some trails but I thought because we were going early we would not have to exactly worry about that. So while we were on this walk of course I am looking around and enjoying nature and there was trail that led down to the water and my mom insisted we had to go down so there was maybe about 60 steps to the bottom but it was intense. As we go to the bottom we went to the water of course and just enjoyed it when my mom turned to talk to me she saw a man coming down as well . My mom gave me a face of somewhat suspicion but I’m used to going hiking alone so the thought of someone else on this hike didn’t surprise me. As I started to tell my mom no nothings suspicious I go to look at him and he is just standing at the end of stairs in flip flops and shorts. I felt that he violated the “norm” of hiking usually when you go on a hiking trail you don’t usually wear cargo shorts a polo shirt and sandals considering you’re walking through dirt and stuff. I felt that if someone was to go on a hike common sense you don’t go dressed like you’re on vacation. Not only that but because he was a man and us being two females my mom felt extra uncomfortable he was heavier set so he outweighed both of us and the age was about in his late 40s and it was weird to see someone a mile in and has flip-flops on. The situation would have been totally different if we saw him at the beach right before the hike considering he wasn’t hiking in flip flops but rather he just went down to the beach but rather he walked a mile and me and mom made several stops to look on the look out spots and never saw him he literally came from nowhere. Also during this whole pandemic many people wave on the trails I think because like we don’t get much human interaction anymore so its different now people have became in a sense more friendly. The weird feeling also continued because my mom get uncomfortable so I led her up the 60 stairs to a different look out and as my mom described to me how she felt he suddenly popped up from behind a tree again which led us to feel even more weird about the situation. I tried to sit back and think how other people can see me as weird and behave similarly . I told my mom that I hike all the time and many times I hike alone super early in the morning and when I hike I do not let anything really disturb my peace so I don’t always pay the best attention to my surroundings. A week prior to this hike I had went on a hike for sunrise and I was following a trail map but somehow I switched the maps and I was going on a different trail and I didn’t realize because it said I would end up in a parking lot so I did 6 miles although the hike I was supposed to go on was 3 but I assumed that I had went on a loop and did a bigger trail then I intended. As I got to the parking lot I realized that was not the parking lot I needed I looked on the map and realized my parking lot was on the whole other side of the big hills that I had just did 6 miles . I then told myself I am not going to hike another 6 miles so I started walking on this road and there was no service but another man walking his dog on the street. I went up to him and tried to explain the situation as best as I could and describe where I think my parking lot I’m supposed to be in is and it was already weird because I was standing 6 feet away trying to explain this. If I was in a situation like that walking my dog I would feel uncomftonarble and would be like this persons weird and probably cautious for my safety . But the man didn’t he told me how to get there and just do another 2 miles on the road and I’d end up at my car and he was right so I appreciate him for not judging me but rather helping me out although I probably came off crazy. Back to the situation I labeled him as weird because the way he carried himself he did smile or wave anything just stood there and the situation was already weird on its own. So instead of smiling or waving and sometimes on hikes many people talk to me about the surroundings like oh such a nice view and stuff but that didn’t occur I wanted to get as far away from him as possible because he was suspicious.

When we think of someone being sane we relate that as someone also being “normal” we don’t exactly know the deffiniton of normal but rather society has put forth a stereotypical of what someone acts like or is when they are normal. There is some things that people do that we generalize as odd or suspicious and for the most part those things are universal to majority of people. We look at this study and we see how these people who are sane go into this hospital to somehow see how it really functions. The issue with this is that once you are put into this hospital type of setting they automatically consider you to be insane so therefore they treat you differently than a sane person and ignorer for you to leave that facility you basically have to let them know why you should be able to leave because now you are sane. The issue with this is that we see how we put eight sane people on the inside and they were treated as if they were insane so therefore the workers can not tell difference of a sane and insane person. The people on the inside can tell more if someone is insane rather than insane because they have already claimed their insanity so they are able to look at people and be able to tell the difference. We can look at the environment of these people then we look at in the jail and we realize how it is weird to think we mix people of both see and insane and then we can isolate them and do all these other things and then expect them to come out perfectly sane which is not going to happen .

When it comes to the title of thinking of eating your friends that would shock people but when you read deeper you can see why sometimes someone eats another human. The morals that people have of course tell you to not eat another human although we do eat animals humans are a whole different question. When we look back in history we know there was some cases where people who were starving had to end up eating another human . We look at the Donner party for example and they were put to a test that they all had no food but they had to pick someone to eat basically as a sacrifice for the others. In some cases someone might say I will take myself out but I want you guys to use my body to basically sustain the others so basically instead of them all starving to death only one will pass away but the others will be able to live because there getting fed off of it. Human society tells us and give us morals to go by so although some cultures might say let’s say for example a cow we are not supposed to eat and then in other countries such as America we don’t care. When it comes to people universally people logically know that we are not supposed to consume each other. Although our conscience reading this we would say that we would never eat somebody else but when we are starving and on the verge of death we might reconsider that so we can’t judge the situation if we’ve never been in it.

When it comes to police I always make note of the fact that these are regular people just with a badge prior to ever arguing for or against any police officer since so many people decide to regard that fact. We all function as an individual and because of that we all have different view points and opinions so when they let the police decide for themselves what force to use and what is deemed necessary it will be different accordingly. When police officers feel threatened they are able to react with how they feel is what will make them feel safe and this is when some incidents that are permanent take place. We expect the police officers are able to know exactly every little thing and society thinks that because they have the badge they are supposed to know everything. It is hard in some moneys where a police officer is and make a certain move especially if it is not our fault the fact that if they feel threatened they do something. Even if they have no weapons or anything the police officer does not exactly know that and we can not expect for them to already know something like that. I feel like society has attacked the police officers and really whole criminal justice system as a whole and before how morally people would respect the system it is totally different now considering most of society already mad the decision to not like them and that is that. Society has agreed upon on how some acts of force is acceptable and reasonable but if something does occur and something occurs everyone attacks them but at one time all of society had agreed upon it.

When we think of imprisonment there is so many different ways that people think about it as being either right or wrong. When I think of solitary confinement that is one thing that triggers me because to me personally I think that psychologically messes the in-prisoner mentally. Not only is it belittling to the person when they get picked up they have to then get undressed , fingerprinted, and then took into jail . When you are put behind bars society has said that they think that is supposed to punish someone for a crime they have committed. We also think that these people are supposed to remain physiologically sane and that is not what occurs. I have done a separate study on solitary confinement in a previous class and I saw so much evidence that we imprison someone and disconnect them from the society that they are used too . We disconnect them for so many amounts of months or years and then throw them back into a society that we think that they are supposed to know. We look at the industrial revolution and how different that was compared to before then and how society had functioned. If someone was to get imprisoned before the revolution and then came out when the revolution was occurring that would of course shock them because of how different it is. We see how much technology has advanced and many people who get released form prison from let’s say them getting locked up in the 90’s society now would be a totally different thing. Instead of releasing these people we need to understand what happens mentally to someone when they go behind bars and what it does to them and how them coming back into society shocks society as a whole.

Race to me is such a big question that really there is no answer to it is all depending on how someone perceives race and that is ally by someones skin tone but at the same time society hits us with a whole different answer to race as well. Race is socially constructed because they have taught us how exactly to look at race and how we are supposed to think someone belongs to a certain race. Characteristic usually is what somewhat tells me of someones race or even by an accent and usually someone will tell you how their family acts of the roots and then it supports more of what exactly I will think. We rely more on culture and ethnicity to determine on what and who a person particular is and that is why race is such a confusing topic to get answer out of.

When it comes to the American family society already puts forth the ideals they want whether that be the amount of kids that they have together or the career that they work in. Diverse families have started to come more into play as society has shifted and now we have even saw that there are same sex marriages as well. Before I feel families used to take into play about the Bible and how the family was supposed to be constructed and how the wife was supposed to be and how the husband is supposed to be as well but now that is totally different and is not even see like that really anymore to the majority. I feel the family is all based on how exactly they want to be perceived but the ideal family to me is all about how they are perceived considering by a glance you can’t tell if the American family is good or if they just look good on the outside .

I never really had thoughts about my big wedding day I had done a project in high school to plan my wedding and some girls like already knew and I didn’t have any clue I basically did the assignment but I didn’t want my wedding to be like more did I even think about getting married at all. When I thought about having a wedding then I imagined me marrying a man that someone who at least understand she and my past . I started to watch this show called four weddings and that actually made more to think about how I would like to get married and have a very nice wedding and I want to be dressed all fancy. The one thing I always say is that how traditional brides have a nice dress and the back is clean cut and nothing is on their back I said for me I’m going to have a bunch of tattoos on my back so I would already be different then the average. I know my marriage won’t be perfect so if they day isn’t it might now especially because I’m so stubborn I could be a monster bride. I want it small and more inclusive because that describes my personality I want it to be a reflection of the both of us and not just the generic one and be just like everybody else.
