Final Blog - Who Am I?

Who am I? An intriguing question, Mr. Salituro...
This class has broadened my horizons in regards to race, class, and human interaction in general. I feel that what we have learned from this class can be integrated into any part of life. Human interaction is an important part of anybody's life, regardless of occupation. Sociology is to psychology as anatomy is to physiology.

Sociology class has taught me to observe different situations from different angles. Every person's life experiences and personal background effects how they react to situations. As sociology class comes to a close, I also finish high school. I feel that I experienced this class at a very appropriate time in my life. I am graduating high school and beginning college and my adult life. I feel that my adult life will be effected positively from what I have learned in sociology. Being able to see the world through different lenses will surely benefit my future interactions with people.

Sociology also increases a very sought-after developmental trait: Tolerance. Learning about different cultures, classes, and why people do what they do makes one more accepting of those around them; people fear that which they do not understand. Therefore, becoming educated on matters of cultures, races, classes, religions, groups, and human behavior makes one more worldly as opposed to if one had simply memorized facts. Sociology is a learning experience and not just a memorization of facts.
