2. When I think about sociology. I think of human behavior. All I know about human behavior is that everyone has their own personality. People react a different way to things, and they have different beliefs and cultures. The world communicates with one another whether it is with technology or food. Even though were different, we all come together as one.

3. http://www.apa.org/pi/about/newsletter/201 3/04/child-abuse.aspx This article relates to the abusive effects we learned in class and how much of an impact it can have in someone’s life. However, this article talked about how to prevent abuse from someone who was abused as a child, but did not want to do that to their child. This was a positive article that prevented the line of abuse because even though one is abused as a child, it can impact them in a more positive way.

4. http://www.pgepsychiatry.com/images/d/d0/Consequences_of_Divorce_for_Adults_and_Children.pdf This article talks about the statistics of divorce and the impact it has on both adults and children. In class, we learned about the “uncoupling” theory. I believe this article relates to this theory because a lot of people know when they are not right for each other, or they might have a feeling there is nothing left in the relationship. This leads to divorce.

In this article, it shares a story about racism. It has one of Food Network’s chefs cut off from the show because of her racist comments. With that, it is sad to know that even people we are suppose to look up to, are one of the many racist people we have in our world. This relates to what we learned in the course as an example.

This article connects with what we learned because it talks about our education being better than what people think it to be. The U.S has, I think, done a great job educating young adults to help them become a responsible civilian.

8. Throughout this course, I have learned many things. I have learned that love is respect and that abuse can be simply using your words to hurt others’ feelings. From this, I learned to watch what I say so that my communication with others are positive, making my social skills Better.

We have the government support young adults getting an education and feeding them low cost food that they can afford so that no American can go hungry. I also learned there are help for alcoholics online! They can get support from individuals to Get rid of their habit without needing to come in or inputting their personal information. I also learned things like our “teeth” helps us socialize. A simple smile, or just by us talking helps others know what we are feeling and we are able to express ourselves to one another.
