What is the connection between the larger world and you personal life referred to as?
Today we discussed cultural conformity by identifying the values that shape & change within a society.
We took notes along with a powerpoint & discussed the dynamics of values and social norms.
We wrote a paragraph in our Journals describing how values might change in future generations.
Then we examined 3 different cultures by studying the underlying values & ideals they appealed to.
We discussed social control and the means by which norms are enforced.
We will begin work on a colloborative effort to research & examine the affects of social norms on our society. What happens when social norms are broken? To demonstrate this, try breaking one of the norms!
In class, you were given an instruction sheet with several options for norm-breaking-experiments you can try. Choose only a norm experiment that has an informal negative sanction. Document the experiment. Then, write about it & share your experience with the class. Your 1 pg paper should be double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman font. We will turn in papers & share our experiments with the class on Thursday, February 10.
*Remember, tomorrow we will have DEAR & binder checks. We will also take a quiz over the Sociological Point of View and Cultural Diversity.
