This is mostly used to justify actions. Actions based of of economics, science, or human interaction are theorized, then eventually turned into experiments. Theory is the first step into creating an idea. The theory I realized was associated with work. Since I have two jobs, I work different days at different places. One of my jobs allows tips, one does not. I've theorized that if i work Saturday and Friday at my job with tips, I will make more money than at the job without tips, even though I make more hourly at the non-tip job. The picture shown is a tip that I received from one of my regular customers!]]> 2019-01-24 23:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/324187507 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332859884 Deviance can be described as simple as a child not listening to their parent,  to someone breaking the law. Deviance is going against social norms and common morals,  even though being faced with consequences. The art below is made by my beautiful Amy, titled "Defy" because of the consumption of unhealthy soda, non-modest clothing, and smoking.]]> 2019-02-19 18:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332859884 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332859969 Conformity is to be in the "in-crowd". Conformity is going with the flow of societal norms,  in order to not make waves. Conformity is not to step outside of the box with ideas or actions that are not deemed "moral". The image below is of an adorable cousin of mine on her first day of catholic school, wearing a uniform is a symbol of conformity. ]]> 2019-02-19 18:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332859969 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332860303 This essentially is learning "girl" versus "boy". Growing up, humans learn how to socialize with their own gender group versus the others. This topic also shows what is normal for one gender compared to the other. I was taught growing up that only boys could play football, for example, or only girls can be ballerinas. I was taught this because it was the norm and has been engraved into humans by societal bias. I snapped this picture at my local Walmart, showing the difference between "boy" MegaBlocks and"girl" Megablocks.]]> 2019-02-19 18:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332860303 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332860748 Culture is what shapes a humans life and helps create their growth. Culture differentiates through all parts of the world and creates beautiful varieties of music, food, clothing, religious practices, and values. The picture below shows my beautiful friend during her trip to Costa Rica, where their culture idolize chocolate and she is holding a small bowl of cacao.]]> 2019-02-19 18:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332860748 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332860878 Language is a way of communication between others, verbal or non-verbal. It helps humans connect to one another, and learn similarities/differences throughout cultures. Language is not only through human interaction, but between even animals and plant-life. The example I chose was my oh-so-cute aunt rocking an "i love you" in ASL t-shirt and holding up the sign. ]]> 2019-02-19 18:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332860878 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861128 Values are basis of a character of a human being. People have varying values in different cultures, ethical backgrounds, different level of incomes, and even differences in gender. Values are what humans hold to heart and use to base their everyday decisions. The example I used was the cruelty free/vegan trend coming to surface. Protecting animals is a definite value in people, and their voices are being heard and are creating similar values for others. (also this is delicious!)]]> 2019-02-19 18:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861128 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861293 A sanction is a consequence, whether that is positive or negative, for complying to societal norms. Sanctions that are deemed as "informal" are actions like shunning,humiliation, or a reward. "Formal" sanctions are actions from organizations or government, like creating a ban. My example, though silly, was a speeding ticket from Disneyland. This is a sanction and a find for speeding, which is against societal norms.]]> 2019-02-19 18:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861293 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861753 Social institutions are groups or communities of people coming together because of a certain similarity or goal in mind. In order to understand things, humans have to categorize things into sections, or put people in boxes in order to identify. This is how I view social institutions, people put themselves together in little categories in order to understand and achieve something.  An example (though a silly one) is my mom being part of multiple dog groups on Facebook. She uses these groups in order to find tips and tricks on raising our two puppies. (this is also where i got a recipe for pup-cakes!)]]> 2019-02-19 18:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861753 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861955 Symbolic Interactionism is how people communicate with one another, giving social cues and signals that humans in our society have grown to learn to understand, even when it is non-verbal. The example I gave was the "okay" symbol, which differentiates meaning in other cultures, but means something is good in our society.]]> 2019-02-19 18:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/332861955 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/335038724 Prejudice is a bias towards a certain group or types of people. This can be without any actual evidence or reasoning towards the hatred. The example I used was my coworker, Jeb. He was telling me yesterday about how he was scared to be single again while going to college. While this sounds like the ultimate time to party and be wild, he told me he is afraid no girl is going to be interested in him because he is Asian, and this is a type of prejudice he has experienced before.]]> 2019-02-25 19:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/335038724 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340081258 Race is heritage, tied in with ancestral and familial background. Many people think of race as a physical and superficial aspect rather than lifetimes of culture. Race is what comes through time, and race can change from one generation to another. My beautiful next door neighbor recently had a quincenera, where in her heritage/race being a Latina, she is to celebrate her fifteenth birthday as it is a step into womanhood. ]]> 2019-03-11 17:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340081258 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340083187 Ethnicity is intertwined with race and culture. The way people practice their culture, values, and beliefs are due to their ethnicity. Like race, ethnicity changed with times and differentiates from generation to generation. My friend, Shaila, is always representing her ethnicity by celebrating her Indian heritage. She is always cooking delicious looking Indian food. Because of her ethnicity and religion, she is a vegetarian and does not eat meat. Who would need meat when you have such good looking food already?]]> 2019-03-11 17:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340083187 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340191912 A minority group is a lesser percentage of the popularity, which can be singled out because of some sort of trait, like cultural or physical differences. Because of this unequal treatment, people in the minority are paid less and are deemed the "subordinate" group. I took this picture from when I attended San Francisco Pride. The LGBTQ+ is a minority, and they all come together to celebrate sexuality and have a safe space to feel less alone. ]]> 2019-03-11 22:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340191912 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340220745 Being in poverty is  being without resources, and making a significant less amount of money than what one's culture needs to survive. Absolute poverty is when one is homeless and struggles to survive. The example I used was this photo I took a few weeks ago while visiting Humboldt University. There is a huge number of homeless students, and I came across a car that seems to have to be used as a home. This is extreme poverty, where there is no stability of living.(Don't worry, the mother was just outside the car filling up her water bottle, every one in the pic is safe!)]]> 2019-03-12 01:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340220745 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340222378 Minimum wage is what someone with no experience in a base-level job will typically make, as it is legally the hourly wage a company must pay the worker. For example, the minimum wage in California is $12 an hour, which is very familiar to myself because that is my hourly wage! I work 30 hours a week, along with going to school part time, just to make ends meet and try to make a little bit of savings.]]> 2019-03-12 01:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340222378 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340223288 By definition, Feminism is equality of all genders. Though there have been different waves of feminism over time, the main focus is equality for women, who have been discriminated throughout history. The example I used was my cousin,Jenni. She is a major advocate for feminism, and wears shirts and creates posts on social media to promote her ideas to young girls]]> 2019-03-12 01:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340223288 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340244724 Gender is what you feel in your heart that you identify as, rather than the genitalia you are born with or what is on ones birth certificate.Gender is a spectrum. The example I used was my wonderful friend, Elliot! He is transitioning Female to Male, and is on almost a year of taking testosterone. He is a perfect example that gender is something that isn’t tangible, and what is in your soul.]]> 2019-03-12 03:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340244724 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340245771 Reffering to human nature, this could be defined as how children are ranged, for example if they are given affection growing up, and how that affects them into adulthood. This could also be in the location environment, violent or non-violent, and how that corresponds to who they grow up to be. The example I used was my beautiful coworker, and her baby Odessa. Odessa is two months old and her mom is always giving her affection and attention, to make sure Odessa feels loved and secured.]]> 2019-03-12 03:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/340245771 smileyfaceraine https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/342619434 A more extreme act of deviance, rebellion is doing the opposite of societal norms, even if given consequences. Rebellion could be repeatedly breaking a law, or doing something that is generally labelled taboo. The example shown here is a picture from my coworker on her trip to Germany. She felt rebellion because it is legal to smoke on the elevator there, where in America that is illegal.]]> 2019-03-18 21:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/smileyfaceraine/tkaum0tkxyqz/wish/342619434
