I was thinking about sociology when I remembered my vacation to Italy. In class we talked about the article we read the night before, and some things reminded me of Italy. One day when I was in Italy we had to go to the bank and it was totally different then here. First off the door to get in the bank is like a tube you stand in and it weighs you because then when you leave it could tell if you stole something. Also it's like a free for all; you fight to go to the front of the line. Where as here we wait in line or go through with our cars. Another thing is that from 1 to 4 everyone closes there shops and they go home for lunch and a nap. I don't think Americans would be able to do that since were constantly over packing our schedules.
Another time I saw sociology was during the news. They were talking about how more and more kids are addicted to technology. I think it's true because teenagers want all the new "cool" toys. We want to try to one up someone. Also we want to try and fit in with all of our friends and the media because those are the two major things that influence most teenagers.
Great job connecting our class discussion to your experiences in Italy (a trip to the bank there sounds quite stressful)!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that banks in Italy were like that. It's true how in America people have too much in their schedules and don't just relax. Also it's true how many teens are influenced by technology. They care too much about how others see them.
