“…social change happens because we begin to act in new ways.”What have you learned in this class and what changes, if any, are you going to make as a result of taking SOC 101?

I think that it is some good if you dot your dots and cross your ts first with your doctor first with the mainline med. I think that do anything that gets you better is a good thing but the how to must be right.

I do not know if I be willing to get assistance from a holistic healer because I did not think about it before and I really not know if I would or would not I get assistance from a holistic healer.

To what extent do race and ethnicity influence the opportunities you have and obstacles you face? How conscious are you of your race and ethnicity and their possible influence on your life.

It is highly influence on the opportunities you have and obstacles you face base on your race and ethnicity.  If you are White most likely that you have the most opportunities than any other race but base on your age you would have the most obstacles that any other age group.  If you are black you would have the least opportunities and the most obstacle.

I am very conscious of my race and ethnicity and their possible influence on my life.  I am handicap and I know the opportunities and obstacles that given to me.

Why do you think that most Americans do seem to be aware of or concerned about the degree of income inequality in the United States? To what extent might it be due to the power of the American Dream, the influence of the media or the working of the dominant ideology?

Why do you think that most Americans do seem to be aware of or concerned about the degree of income inequality in the United States? To what extent might it be due to the power of the American Dream, the influence of the media or the working of the dominant ideology?

The reason that most Americans do seem to be aware of or concerned about the degree of income inequality in the United States is that we see the race different in the United States and the sexes in income because the issue is in the Media and without that we would not know about the inequalities and we would not tried to fix that. 

The extent might it be due to the power of the American Dream is the American Dream tells that anyone can make it in American if you work hard but people do prejudge people.

The influence of the media is highly influence because the issue is in the Media and without that we would not know about the inequalities and we would not tried to fix that.

The United States is commonly referred to as a representative democracy. Do Congressmen and women genuinely represent the masses or has the government become a forum for the powerful elites?

I think that the government become a forum for the powerful elites and not genuinely represent the masses by the Congressmen and women because groups and companies are trying and getting their project done by the Congressmen and women because the groups and companies fund the Congressmen and women and they will do anything that the groups and companies ask them to do.

Would you ever allow your parents, family and/or close friends to arrange a marriage for you? What about matchmaking services e.g. match.com or eHarmony.com… would you be open to using their services? What are the disadvantages of relying on our own contacts and judgment when it comes to finding a long term romantic partner?

I would not allow my parents, family and/or close friends to arrange a marriage for me because they not know as well as I know myself.  Sorry, family but that is true.  I must have a say in my marriage  and who is my wife is.  I would like to meet the women first to see if we get along, if we not it could be a long bad life together.
I would be open to using their services matchmaking services e.g. match.com or eHarmony.com because with that I can pick women that I can see if we get along if we do she would be my grilfriend then she would be my wife.

The disadvantages of relying on our own contacts and judgment when it comes to finding a long term romantic partner are we will look for same thing in them as us do have.

Should gambling, prostitution, and recreational drugs be legalized? What are the consequences, both positive and negative, of doing so?

Gambling, prostitution, and recreational drugs should not be legalized because they do make problems for people who do or use them and society as a whole as crime, killings, and gambling problems that cost in human life, taxes, families and space in our jails.  Gambling problems are at the top of the list of problems that society has.

I know that there is positive things if we legalized gambling, prostitution, and recreational drugs they are:
  • Funding
  • Less crime
  • Less killings-maybe
  • More space in our Jails
  • Less taxes?
