Sociological Mindfulness/Imagination

I do believe that this guy had many good points and made people open their mind better in to thinking how other people feel and why they do the things they do. If you were to think every time you see someone that is being put down or catch yourself looking down at them or even seeing them being bullied or decimated or anything like that and you pretend to put yourself in their shoes and see what it is like than you will learn a lot about that person and how they might feel. If everyone in this world would think like that and just open their eyes and pretend to be in their shoes than everyone would learn how to treat people better and there would be more peace upon us. Even for me I have witnessed someone being racist to African Americans, Native Americans, Mexicans, or any other ethnic group that is not white be hated on because they do not have the same color of skin as they do. Now I have put myself in their shoes and thought want if I was that African American that is being picked on or beat up or anything else just because I am black skinned. So I thought if everyone would realize how that feels they would learn to be nicer and more respectable to people no made their race, religion, or skin color. That is what I think this video is really all about is that if you see someone being picked on put yourself in their shoes and see how it feels, because no one in this world likes to be undermined or be treated unfairly just because of their skin color or other things. So if everyone were to watch this video and think before they were going to pick on someone they could say hey would it feel good if that kid came and picked on me no so I believe everyone needs to learn to pretend to be in everyone else’s shoes at some point and this whole world would come to peace and calm.

In the big picture of society I just see myself being other middle class American teach my kids and family to treat everyone with respect and to picture themselves in other people's shoes to learn how you can be nicer to them and other people because everyone should be treated with the same respect no matter their skin color, race, or religion. 

Freaks and Geeks Blog

11.  The two groups in this episode are the freaks and geeks. The freaks are the ones who don’t follow the rules and try to get others to be more like then. The geeks are the ones who follow the rules but kind of want to be like the freaks.

  2.   There are two sources of power in this episode the freaks have power and so does Alan. The freaks have power over Lindsey and they use it to make her skip class and try to get her to skip the dance. Alan has power also he uses his power on the geeks. The more their become scared of him the more power he gets.

33.   The important symbol in this episode is Nick’s drums he tells Lindsey she needs to find her drum set with means she needs to find something to work for or work towards to make her happy and keep living life.

44.   The theory I see the most is the conflict theory which you can find throughout our high school lots of the younger kids want to be just like Mason so they dress like him and get haircuts like him.
