little boys

I think that it's true about how people would judge their son about liking princesses. Boys don't have to like all boy toys except if he was that obsessed with pink and girlie items it would make me nervous as a parent. i think his dad is a major role model to him. His dad is a stay at home dad which means he does the laundry, cooks, and cleans, and his son thinks that's how he should act. I think its important that little kids follow the social roles, meaning they do boy things by play with trucks and girl things by playing with princesses. Those roles are judged by little kids and parents. Even the older brother made fun of his little brother in public.

All of a sudden I saw sociology when I was watching "Desperate Housewives." Gaby and Carlos found out Juanita wasn't really their daughter and that the hospital mixed up the kids. The parents agreed to be family friends to get to really know their daughters without telling them. Grace (Gaby's real daughter) was not part of a material culture. Her mother always told her to appreciate what she had but she wanted Gaby's Chanel purse so bad. She wanted to live a materialistic life style like Gaby.

Another time I noticed sociology was when I went to my cousins birthday party. I thought of cultural universals because for my culture every one was there. Cousins I haven't seen in five years were there. But going to my friends family birthday, it was only her immediate family. I didn't undertand why they don't have big family parties all the time like Italians do.
