Sociology Project |
|
This Project was about the cycle of Socialization and the aspects of it. I learned about the different parts about the cycle of Socialization. I learned about how the cycle impacts different people depending where they are in the cycle and how they react to it. In this cycle there are several different benefits and disadvantages throughout the cycle with different people. The parts of the cycle are The Beginning, First Socialization, Institutional and cultural institutions, Enforcement, Results, actions, and directions for change. The direction for change part is very important because this means breaking the cycle and not following the norms of it all anymore. A big problem that we a addressed is how to break the cycle and be different from the harmful restrains of this cycle.
The Truth of Happiness
Description: We started this project at the beginning of this semester and are now ending it in march. This project consisted of many happiness research aspects. The first that we did was the Brave New World book project which was a book that we read to gather information on how a different style world would see happiness compared to our worlds perspective on happiness. When we read the book we did annotations and tests on the vocabulary words said in the book. At the end of this part of the project we made posters to represent the books perspective on happiness and our perspective as well. The next part of the the project was starting our annotated bibliography on research about happiness. In this section we did both class research and individual research to gather information on the true meaning of happiness. The class research was all together and and the individual research was my own research on gathering information on what I thought made people truly happy. After the annotated bibliography, I started to come up with a experiment to test my theory on what makes people truly happy. This experiment consisted of me for a week doing an activity or anything that I believed would truly improve my happiness levels , which did. I wrote a report on my experiment and how exactly it affected my happiness. After the happiness experiment I got into a group with similar ideas for their experiments and started to plan to make a video about what truly makes people happy. The video that we made represents what we believe makes people happy. That was the concluding part of our entire project. I believe that is was a very engaging project and support it for further freshman students in the future.
