TOPIC NO. 1
EXPLAIN HOW YOU DEVELOPED AN APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING FOR THE FIELD OF SOCIOLOGY AND DISCUSS THE FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIOLOGY, AS THEY RELATE TO YOUR CULTURE AND STYLE OF LIVING.
INTRODUCTION
Well sociology for me at first sounded interesting because I have not studied sociology before and it is a new thing for me. The thing I’m most interested in sociology is the study of different cultures relating to my own culture. Sociology has helped me a lot in understanding many things about culture and norms of different society. At first I was hesitant because from what I know American culture is very bad but as soon as I understand more of it I have found a new appreciation for it and also my international classmates help me understand their culture as well. Adapting and learning from others for me is very significant in relation to sociology. Because if you narrow your mind that the only culture that is best is your culture then you will be wrong about it because for me different cultures has a negative and positive side to it so by understanding it from other point of view is good for me. The culture that I was brought up with has something in common with American culture. But still not everything is similar to American culture and I believe that my culture is more conservative than the American culture.
FINDINGS
Now I have a full appreciation with sociology and I am interested in studying it more in depth. I am just fascinated with how different people act according to the culture that they have been brought up. As I look back to my own culture, I understand that through the study of these things I further understand why there are some individuals who act differently even though we have the same culture, the factor that is affecting these is how do they interact with different individuals through the society. Culture is a very big foundation of sociology, from these
