Gender and Sex,"night to his day"

In the article "Night to his Day" talks about gender,how people see gender and how they react to hit.The article have us two example with two different man the were seen with a babe,people around were proud because the man seem like a responsible man and they were being a father to the baby One problem is that you couldn't tell if the two baby'a were a boy or a girl because of how they were dress.It's written in the article that for an individual gender starts from how you dress the kids or how you adorned the kid in a way that someone else will be able to teill if the kid is a boy or a girl.This sticker is mostly about how a parent can change a child gender raising. It's the way that raise our kids and how we bring them fourth to society shapes their gender.It's written that gender roles change because father are taking care of the kids boys and girls and that women and men works at the same job. Women are more likely now ankle to do what man does. Another about this article mention that I like is that biological evolutions contributes to our social institutions is transformed by social practice.The buildings of genders are socially constructed statuses.Women and men will always be different,it doesn't matter what they do in the social institutions,they will always be different.If men and women ends up be doing the same task,they will most likely be segregated,the women will me looked at a different way because you can't put women and men in the same box,their will always be a huge amount of difference.Gender ranks man above woman of the same race and class.There will always be unequalization in America because that's how the system was made to be,it said in the article that man is A but woman are not,the whites are A but the blacks are not,the middle class and rich are A but the working class and lower are not..Gender is a modern social institutions to construct woman as a group that will be lower then man.

Race&Ethnicity, "Hispanic drop outs mystery

I never knew that there were a higher Hispanic drop out percentage then Bocks.Reading this article motivated me to read more of the actions that are taking place around. In the article "Hispanic Drop out of school and belief that they attain in there head that shows the reason why they drop out of school,and most of those reason are facts.Some hispanic girls students drop out of school because they get pregnant at a early age,witch means they won't have time for school witch means they have to go to work or stay home to take care of their kids. Some of the other reasons why some hispanic kids drop out of school is because they're failing their classes, they are bored in school,or they believe their not getting that much attention.those kids felt discriminated,they believe that they were looked at differently from everyone else. Some of those hispanic kids believe that the school doesn't like them because,and they don't get a special language help.. They feel as if they're being stereotype by people in the school,they don't fit in with the norms in the school.The article also explains and stated that hispanic drop out are twice more then blacks drop out and most of the hispanic drop outs are foreign norms. It also stated that peer pressure also play a role in the drop out of hispanic,and they feel like they're being prejudice. Now there is a program that targets hispanics drop outs and they are trying to help those kids stay I'm school. I never really had a problem like that in school,witch means I can't really relate this article to my own experience.

extra credit, ted talk education

I watched the Ted education video and it was very interesting,I also learned a lot from each different speaker that were explaining their ideas.One thing I really liked about the video was when a young lady was explaining how she almost drop out of school because she had a babe while she was still in high school and it was hard for her because she was struggling and she felt like giving up but one of her teacher spoke to her and told her to keep moving on with her education,that teacher was also helping her out in school, at the end of her school year she graduated. Most of the other speakers focused on students,teachers and education,I also realize that most of them were teachers. Each of those teachers had a different way of dealing with their students.Another speaker that I liked was Rita Pierson,she was explaining how she taught her students and how she did it differently from other teachers because all the subjects or works that she was teaching in class she made them fun.She also mention that for some kids to learn you have to make them feel special and that they very smart and able to complete the work or anything else.That is one way that she taught her classes.One speaker that really surprised me was bill gates,it took me a while to get a really good understanding of his idea.Bill gates said that teachers has one of the most important jobs in the world and they get no systematic feedback to improve their working skills at that particular job.He also mention and explain how the system isn't fair to some of the teachers and students and he spoke about how we can change that.He explained when he went and travelled to other countries to examine the way that teachers teach their students and how well the students learn and also how well the teachers teached. One thing,he mentioned that I didn't know was that the US is ranked 15 out of all of the high level reading countries and 29 in math.I believed that he mentioned that surveys also help out teachers and the questions that they asks in the surveys help improve a teacher teaching skills.Another good speaker was Geoffrey Canada.He spoke about lousy schools,witch means school that's doesn't improves their educational system. One thing I like about Geoffrey is that he spoke with boldness,he wasn't afraid to say anything he had to say,he also joke around with some of the things he was saying. He explained how poor people has less opportunities then the wealthier and richer people does.He also spoke about how banks are improve with technologies but the system doesn't try that hard to improve some of the schools,and that we blow away billion of dollars on other things then trying to help out some school and the poor kids.I learned a lot from each of those highly talented educators and their different perspective on how to help this generation and the future generation.Someone can really learn a lot just by watching TED,because you hear different ideas from different people.Out of the speakers,my favorites is Geoffrey Canada.I chose him as my favorite becaue of his boldness,he wasn't areas to speak up,and he was funny but over all I had fun watching TED.

Social class

i've watch the video on people like us and chose the article "Cause of Death:inequality". I learned a lot reading the article but not that much watching the video.In some way i believe that the video and the article kind of relate to each other because both of them talked about social class. First i will talk about the article "cause of death:inequality".this article gives us different topics on inequality.The article makes a good point on how inequality is the cause of death on minority of people.Most of those people are poor people. Poor people doesn't have the same amount of opportunities that rich or wealthy people have.There are stages of inequalities that we have witch is poor and rich,women and men and lastly black and white. It is said that white people has more chance to succeed then black people,men has more rights then women and poor people has less opportunitie then the wealthy.Why? But in the article it talks about the cause of death how poor people has more chance of dying then the rich because the poor can't really afford certain healthy goods and other things.Some diseases tend to strike poor people then rich people because of unequal opportunities.Also sometimes poor people are not able to see a doctor as a high income,and sometimes they don't have the money and insurance to get treated.It is written in the article that African American as higher change of getting high blood pressure and that it's more stressful then any situation when they are confronted with racism.This article is to inform us on how unequal that the poor,the rich,African American, white,women and men are unequal. It took me a while to get a good understanding of "The People Like Us video.In my own point of view I believe that this video is about someone or families status because they mostly talked about the rich and how some people were born in it and that it flows on their generation.They showed different families and their status.One way I can relate this video to the article is that sometimes certain people doesn't work their way up to richness,they were born in it.Because of that they have more opportunities then people that didn't.For example,poor people. Poor people or we can say working people will always have less opportunities then the wealthy and also be unequal. I can also relate the article to what Geoffrey Canada was saying in the TED Talk show.He mention that poor students lose ground in summer times then richer students.when they come back after the summer break their level of intelligent in class decreases.There are different ways that shows that poor people inequality.

Deviance

Deviance is the behaviors that does not conform to basic cultural ad expectations.One example I can use from one my own experience about deviance is that in my culture different people from different families beats their kids from doing something bad or for being disrespectful,it doesn't matter how old you are you will still get hit by your parents.Every society in my culture uses that collective conscience as a norm and belief that treating their kids like this will teach their kids how to live.Another deviance in my culture is that you are able to get married at any age,I never knew that until today I asked my grandma about it and she said they get married at any age.Some people believed it's a secondary deviance because sometimes it ends up in a conflict situation because their are a lot of responsibilities that you will have to attain because most of the time your parents will kick you out,and you have no other choice but to take care of that husband or wife by yourself.Another deviant act is that some people aren't afraid to take naked showers outside where everyone can see them,it actually turns out to be a norm,I chose this as a deviant act because most cultures doesn't do that,only in a bathroom that they will take a naked shower without no one seeing their privacy. Walking around dead bodies in the street is a deviant act in my culture brainwaves someone gets shot on the street other stab and just die on the street,it takes a while for the ambulance or cop to come and pick them up the ground. Most cultures wouldn't leave a dead body on the ground for an amount of time but my culture some people are so use to seeing them on the ground,they walk around it like its nothing.Another deviant act is that My culture has a very high percentage of homeless and poor people,it's starting to be more of a dominant culture because the percentage of homeless and poor people has increased.There are no welfare in Haiti,And the government is not strong enough to help.In a stabilize country like the Unitedstate,the government offers a lot of help.One last deviant act I can use is that you can kill any animal or hit animals on the street,you won't get arrested,and that's a deviant act because it's not accepted in every culture.In the article The positive function of the undeserving poor talks and describe different categories and function of the poor.One of the function is called the three political functions,and it describes the institutional scapegoating and spatial purification. I can also relate this article to chapter eight because it mentioned deviance and stigma.It mention that some of the institutions benefit from undeserving the poor may try to maintain underservingness and it's stigma.
