blog #1 eventhough it's late

I am taking this class because all throughout high school I fell in love with all the sociology classes. Especially sociology of gender. It was the first time ever in my high school career that I actually wanted to learn more about it and I saw so many things I learend in class outside of class. On my own time! I saw evidence of socialization everywhere and I cared about it and never got bored. I have also always been more of nurture person when it comes to nature vs. nurture. I believe almost everything is taught to us and all the little things we learn about on how to live is what culture is. Even the way we eat, what we eat, how we dress, what our friends think, what the media says, and how we even cross the street is culture. I went to San Diego this summer with my friends and we stayed in this hotel and the lady at the desk stopped us and asked us all if we were from Chicago. We asked her how she knew that and she said "None of you wait for the walk signal and all you guys wear is black, grey, or brown." I thought it was funny because that's our little Chicago culture I guess.
