Preface

kaylaabrenee — 2024-09-25 15:03:08 UTC

How many of our everyday items can we compare in Sociology? I've never really thought this much about items I use on a daily basis.

First thing I bought...

kaylaabrenee — 2024-09-25 15:09:10 UTC

When I was about 16 years old I started getting SS Survivor benefits from my dad being murdered, it was then when I started supporting myself. Paying PGE, buying all my own clothes and things Id want and need. I want to say my first item I bought myself was a pair of jeans(180$) from the true religion store.

Blue Jeans

kaylaabrenee — 2024-09-25 15:39:17 UTC

As a society we have associated different style jeans ( Flair, skinny, boyfriend,ect) to a specific look. Example, Flared jeans we might think of a hippy, baggy jeans we think of a "gangster".

Blue jeans

Peter Berger said, "we must work to see the strange in the familiar way" With that he made people think little harder about things and ask question's you wouldn't normally ask.

A Nacirema shrine

kaylaabrenee — 2024-09-30 20:23:16 UTC

A box built into a wall, that hold charms magical potions that natives believe they couldn't be alive without. Medicine-men would provide these potion specific to each individual. To other cultures its just a medicine cabinet in the Restroom.

Marxist vs. Durkeimian

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-02 18:25:14 UTC

Marxist, believed food is a fetish. He looked at the economical, and the social relationship in making product, different different class of people eat differently. As for Durkheimian, food seen as a Totem(symbol or object that represents a religion or group of people).

Not normal eats

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-02 18:43:47 UTC

Recently I stopped working in the cardroom, but while there I learned alot about this. Most are Asian Cambodian or chines. this is when I learned alot about this not normal eats. They eat everything dont waist any of the animal. with now im relating to "nose to tail eating"

"Tell me what you eat, I'll tell you who you are."

Sounds of silence

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-03 22:28:43 UTC

Growing up my grandma would always tell me sit up when I talk to you body language is a important thing as a women. Now I understand, because slouching not making eye contact is rude and makes you feel who ever your talking to in uninterested in what you have to say. As if someone is standing or sitting up making eye contact with you is a complete different vibe.

Advertising

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-11 04:59:40 UTC

As I sit here watching a aquarium commercial I notice yes they do use their targeted people. Kids, each kid was a different race because they are targeting all people the first scene was little older kid touching the sea animals, second was younger kids enjoying watching fish go by. They got my attention because my older step kids could have fun but also my younger son can have fun to. As the fish goes by my one year old son was watching the fish too. They got us all.

Presentation of self in everyday life

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-18 06:05:19 UTC

My house hold is very guilty of this we are always acting. My boyfriend gets a little accent when he talks to a Hispanic or Indian. Looking back the other day I had to pick up my step son from school early but I told my boyfriend I need to change my clothes and look more like a mom.

MAPPING THE SELF THROUGHT STUFF

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-18 18:40:59 UTC

As I dump my Backpack out, first comes out is a diaper followed by a pack of wipes, mom identity. Next is a envelope my pge bill, I don't have a wallet so my money is all over the place. I have my air pods I use to listen to my lectures and used for my field trip to Mule Creek state prison. So id say they represent my student identity. In my little side pocket a lip sick and hooped ear rings I used when we went out for my birthday, so that would but my dressy identity.

Shopping for 'we-ness"

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-20 04:36:43 UTC

Here recently a lot of girls have been wearing full bodysuits, that are really tight. I was at Old Navy and got myself some. Was it the worst fashion trend I've tried. Not to mention I was fresh post partum with my first son. I thought buying them I'd have little since of style while post pictures sharing moments. I hated the trend and will never wear them again.

Presentation of self in everyday life

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-21 19:49:07 UTC

As I have gotten older and now becoming a mother I care less about my public appearance(front stage). I will go to the grocery store rolled out of bed. It has gotten pretty bad, and I've told myself I need to leave the house more presentable.

Fight for $15

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-26 19:19:31 UTC

I feel that the employees of the fast food industries deserve to be unionized and wages brought up. Everyone uses Fast food restraunts at some point doesn't matter what social class you might identify. I personally have work only at one fast food and that was Subway back in high school. That job was so much more then you would expect. Most everything was cut everyday we'd cut onions, cucumber, bell peppers ect . Label and date thing for expiration's, rotate things out. On top of that deal with people not everyone is friendly, and some people have bad days. Fast food industry workers most definitely deserve to have better pay and and to be unionized, they are a very big part of society today and we should take care of our people.

Nickel and Dimed

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-27 03:30:08 UTC

I myself have working in several different industries making different wages for all. Each time I find myself scrambling to make ends met. A few years ago I felt a toxic relationship, and was left in a house myself. At the time I was a driver for the VA Hospital, making 24 an hour. After paying my 1400 rent and all other bills I was left with very little money to enjoy myself. At the time I had no kids and it was still hard.

OVER THE COUNTER MCDONALDS

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-28 05:37:01 UTC

WhenI got my first job at Subway in high school I had to do my first 3,8 hour shifts doing Subway University. Teaching you everything from cleaning the bathroom, using the vegetable slicer, and mixing chemical's.

Caught between ages

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-28 05:45:53 UTC

I remember being like 9 years old and my dad made me so mad I went and checked apartments for rent near me, at the time apartments price was 500-800$. Now as an adult my first home I pay 1400$, my first apartment in 2018, was 1000$ for a one bedroom. I have always mentioned this change when looking at rent prices.

A Nacirema shrine

kaylaabrenee — 2024-10-28 18:01:18 UTC

Going back a little, yesterday I was at my moms. She is a very sentimental person, will keep the most (what I think is) stupid things. Well she pulled out this big what I believe to be a families shrine. I asked where did you get this and why do you have it? Her friend had brought over a bunch of stuff and my mom went trough it and found it asked what they where doing with someone's family shrine it has be prayed and prayed on. So my mom decided to keep it so it couldn't be destroyed. It had peoples green cards, medical cards, and military cards.

Status/Role

kaylaabrenee — 2024-11-02 04:41:53 UTC

Ascribed status you obtain naturally, you don't really have a decision.

You age, race, skin/eye color.

achieved statuses is you earn, or accomplish in order to obtain.

so this would be your leave of education, who you marry, or your career field.

Race research

kaylaabrenee — 2024-11-09 04:38:19 UTC

Heinze 57, was told by parents whose parents told them. They figured this out by the way they look characteristics, and skin tone.
White, Came up with that decision based on her skin tone, hair, and eye color. Ethnicity she is Italian, English, She had a heritage test done.
Irish based on what he was always been told, based on his heritage

People are mostly told from relatives what their race is. Some people have been lucky enough to do a text to figure out their "race and heritage"

Race

kaylaabrenee — 2024-11-09 04:47:22 UTC

I have never really been told what race I am. Race has never been a big part of life I have "cousins" that i've grown up with and have never ever thought anything about until I got old, it was just normal.Obviously I am white light brown hair blue eyes freckles all over and very light complected skin. I have learned in these last few weeks by getting in contact with family that I am native american and English and Irish.

Showing my color

kaylaabrenee — 2024-11-09 04:52:21 UTC

I have an aunt that is white as all hek, but we'd say she acts to black we have to remind her she white calm down your showing your colors. Or when I find out that people lie I say we now i see their true colors. Not referring to color of skin but there truth.

Toy store observation

kaylaabrenee — 2024-11-19 05:23:10 UTC

Today at target I went strolling through the toy department and really paid attention to everything. I noticed most all of the baby toys are in the first few rows, and they are all mostly gender neutral toys. Next it was little older kid toys and boys (spiderman, tracters) on one side of the and girl toys (princess dresses and shoes) on the other. All of the legos are all in one row and again the girls on one side and boys on the other. Even down at the end the bikes, scooters, little electric bikes are all organized buy the genders on each side.

Google search "Beauty"

kaylaabrenee — 2024-11-19 05:37:17 UTC

When i google searched Beauty these images came up, it really does show how this generation is really normalizing all kinds of beauty. There are a variety of race, gender/sex. Also noticed that most of the people on the search photos are wearing little to no makeup look. Which is amazing because for a while growing up i feed like so girls got to a point they wont even leave without makeup, or lashes.
