Everyone in this society looks at their hands on constant daily basis, it’s alarming. The moment they wake up they’re looking at their hands. In today’s society people don’t talk face to face using their actual words that come out their mouths, they communicate through their hands. I’ve noticed families and friends don’t even talk to each other at the lunch or the dinner table. They’re using one hand to eat and staring at the other one. People are too focused looking at their hand while driving, walking, and just looking at it through out the day. It’s such shame that on beautiful days the kid’s of today aren’t using their hands to play tag, tetherball, or any other outdoor activities because they would rather much stare at their hands. So many possabilites and opportunities missed out because of how much time many people just stare at their hands.

 The author tells us how he discovered in college that his interest he’s had since he was little was associated with sociology. 

The intention of the book is to:

1.Show the excitement and fascination of sociology.

2. To make more visible the context of social life that affects all of us.

3. To gain a better understanding of people and yourself. 

4. Crave to learn more about sociology.

3 main issues:

1.The structure of society/house societies component are interrelated.

2. Where one society stands in human history and the changes that are occurring in it.

3. what type of people prevailing winds society.

Thoughts while reading:

-What can be uncomfortable when changing the angle of vision?

-The sociologist mainly looks at the world we live in, or institutions, history, and passions and isn’t afraid to cross the boundary for answers.

-sometimes when sociologists try to answer questions in specific instances they deal with other subjects such as economic and political matters but will deal with them differently than the economic or the political scientist.

-I found it quite fascinating how you’re looking at certain things with the the lens of a sociologist things are not what they seem to really be and have many layers of meaning

-The experience of sociological discovery could be described as “culture shock”

-The “world-taken-for-granted” should stay away from sociology

-Who or what are the “world-taken-for-granted” ?

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
