I saw sociology when I was with my older cousins and I was the designated driver, and one of them didn't want to go clubbing with the group because he had work the next day but they all convinced him and he went. This is an example of group think, although my cousin spoke his mind about not wanting to go out that night, he still went because everybody else was going.

I saw sociology when I was at a concert and I saw that everybody was having a great time and socializing with each other. Our common interests brought us together and we became a crowd, it was only for a few hours but it showed that people from all over have similar interests and like to do many things others do.

I saw sociology when I was with my friends watching a movie and there was a hispanic that matched the sterotypical hispanic. The stereotypical hispanic is normally, tank top, shaved head, tattoos everywhere, baggy jeans and a funny accent. Although, I found it slightly offensive, I myself thought it to be quiet accurate which makes me feel like I have conformed to the rest of society and accept whatever the social norms turn into. The only reason I found it offensive is because I am Mexican and I act and look nothing like the hispanic in the movie was portrayed.

I saw sociology when I was at practice and coach told me and the other captain that he was going to be late to practice one day. He gave us the workout for the day and he expected me and my the other captain to make sure everybody does what their suppposed to do until he arrives. I think this was an example of a staus and role. Since me and my friend are the team captains he expected the proper behavior of us, take action and lead the team through a regular practice. We are the captains and we have certain duties to fulfill.

I saw sociology when I was at my friends house and I was having dinner with his family, and I wasn't allowed to put my elbows on the table because it was rude. I broke a social norm of their culture. It is expected of people to keep their elbows off the table and eat appropriately

I saw sociology when I was in one of my classes and there was a group project to do and in one of the groups, everybody was associating with each other and having a fun time doing the project, and there was one person being left out of the whole conversation. This is an example of in-groups and out-groups because there was a group in which the majority seemed like they were identifying with one another and there was one person left out because he wasn't able to identify with the others.

I saw sociology when I was at a track meet. Towards the end of every meet all the teams gather at seperate corners for the final race to cheer on their team mates. Its a special thing to see everybody support each other. I think this shows functionalism because without the support of each other, any team would eventually fail or break down. Everybody does their part and works hard to push each other to do better.
