  socialization   the general process of acquiring culture as you grow up in a society.  During socialization, children learn the language of the culture as well as the roles they are to play in life.  In addition, they learn about the occupational roles that their society allows them.  They also learn and usually adopt their culture's norms through the socialization process.  See enculturation.

   Eli the ethnographer the year 2065, Houston TX. As I enter the hospital there is a robot at the counter beeping and bopping. it sees me and asks me what injury I have. I tell it that I do not have an injury and that I am an ethnographer here to observe and report on the behavior of the robots. she explains to me the different rooms and their purposes, then tells me that I may observe anything I want from the hallways and that I may not enter the rooms. as I am walking the halls looking into all the rooms I notice that all the robots communicate to each other with different pitched beeps and boops. I find this very secretive because they can speak any language but decided to make their own language instead. (I wonder why that is) I keep walking down the hallway and see a group of robot arms performing surgery at a very fast pace which amazes me. as I continue walking I come across a robot eating oil that seems to be comercialized in a way that makes it seem like a snack. I e...

   Life in the Surround of a Rural Prison Town      This article tells us about the injustice in state prisons in the US. Ken tells us about his time in prison and about the ways they make money off of the prisoners by selling them over priced items with insanely high markups. eventually he decided to stop buying these goods so that they would stop making money off of him. some of the other prisoners also did this. The CO's (Corrections Officers) were not happy about this. When they found out that Ken was the one who started this they put him in solitary confinement for a week as punishment.     Later Ken talks to us about his plan to get previously incarcerated people to invest in these prisons so eventually they will own 51% of the prisons stock. Then can start changing the way things happen in these prisons. his end goal is to get people to make money off of the system that made money off of them.     Ken is now in his late thirties. he wa...

  Linguistics article reaction My article was about when kids are able to understand and tell jokes. I found it interesting because I have a few little cousins that are around the age of 1 and 2 and they only understand physical humor right now. the Article talks about how at around age 1 and 2  babies can understand physical comedy and try to copy the people they see to make them laugh. an example of physical comedy would be slap stick comedy or peek a boo. and that as they get older around the age of 2 and 3 they start to understand verbal comedy and make jokes. The article talks about how it is important for younger people to learn and use humor because it can build confidence. and your communication skills. jokes can also help children understand words with double meanings. overall comedy is a good way to learn any language. in conclusion I think this article was a good read.

  The book Suicide: A Study in Sociology was written by a French sociologist named Émile Durkheim in 1897. This book was innovative for its time, being the first ‘methodological study of a social fact in the context of society.’ Durkheim believes that suicide is driven by the imbalance of two crucial social forces; social integration and moral regulation. He also understands that where there are high levels of anomie, there will be higher rates of suicide. As an example, he writes that factors contributing to high anomie include economic booms and crashes. Through his case study of suicide, Durkheim came to the understanding that there are four general classifications of suicide that are influenced by social integration and moral regulation. The first type is Egoistic suicide which reflects an intense feeling of not belonging. This is caused when someone has no connection to a community and therefore no defined goals or values. This leads to a feeling of detachment which Durkheim ...

 Firestorm: Critical Approaches to Forrest Death and Life -  A firestorm is when a fire grows strong enough, that it can produce it's own winds making the fire easier and faster to spread. Many countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, USA, and Australia struggle every year to fight against these types of fires. While humans are the main source to start these fires, they can't control them. Many of these fires start with different types of energy being released to the sky, and when rain comes down, these particles get mixed with the water and eventually they harm forests and start fires. These fires are forcing many indigenous tribes to have to re-locate in the Amazon and many other people are in danger due to this pollution. Also, when the trees get burned, people get rid of those trees which is horrible for our well being. In the Amazon, farmers are chopping down lots of trees to have more space for planting crops, but they are then polluting the environment and harming lots of p...
