@sociodoug #daccsoc201 Expanded my way of thinking. 👍

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 The interactionist theory says "crime results from the social interaction w/ other people, particularly friends & family"; where she learned the criminal behavior. On the flip side, interaction can also help to mend broken relationships, as in the case of this family.

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 When I see El Paso, I see a large Family. They have come together to offer each other love, comfort and support. During difficult times, Family is really all we need to get through this kind of tragedy. Much love to our sister city! ❤️

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 In order for society to function smoothly, we need good health and effective medical care. The US is lacking in this and in education. Not fulfilling these functions will further harm our society.

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 In my culture we believe that "Mother Earth" allows us to exist here. We thank her every morning and we have the honor of taking care of her. I would say I have a symbolic interactionist point of view with a cultural base. Let's take care of our "Mother", please. 🌍

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 Floundering students? Stats say only 10% of college students seek psychological counseling mainly for depression, anxiety & relationship problems. OSU has an outreach program w/ events like RUOK? Day, Peers Reaching Out, campaigns against suicide & a wellness center.

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 One of the major assumptions of functionalism is that change is desired, but it should happen slowly. A rapid social change threatens social order. Liberal law Professors stated "the struggle for democracy is a lifelong commitment". It should not cost lives. 😟

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 Sociology has been demonstrating that social backgrounds influence many types of attitudes and behaviors. It starts from home then moves on to the influences of society. Let's spread the LOVE 🥰 not the hate. 👎

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 Social constructionism says this issue is a social problem; being recognized by policy makers, a large # of lay citizens, & other segments of society. The parties on each side are making their arguments to either support DACA or oppose it. The Sup. Ct. will decide.

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 "sociological imagination" has had the biggest impact on me in this course. I now apply this to my daily interactions. I agree. No one should be lonely. People no longer "talk" to each other. Social media has eliminated genuine conversation and a true connection.

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 It seems the President of China is making sure the people are following his rules and beliefs. He's taking extra steps, with informers in schools, to ensure there will be no opposition in his country. Prevention of social problems?

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 As in history, women are still fighting sexism in politics. I feel the ex husband knew it would play out this way. He just had to expose her and the public did the rest. Is this a case of radical feminism or just personnel revenge?

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@gutierrezxnessa @sociodoug #daccsoc201 Judgements will always exist, whether or not they are openly expressed. It is up to us as individuals to take action; lead by example. The people just "talking" will be muffled by the positivity. We can't be drawn into the negative Nancy pool.

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@SachikoSlough @sociodoug You can do this, Sachi. The hard work pays off. Rooting for you!!

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug I never thought I would ever "tweet". My kids were shocked when I told them about my account. I will continue to explore and follow more people.

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 This video is so disappointing. I think if I learned more about investing when I was younger I would have a much larger "stack" of my own. I feel every college student should take a business course so they know how to manage their money & invest in their future.

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug #daccsoc201 He just graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of Finance at the Univ. of Penn. Very nice graduation gift, but he has a lot of responsibility to uphold the Tse Ping's family legacy. It sounds like they're taking off his training wheels.

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug Plus, it would be so boring. 😉

[Gail Frost @4Ever_Frost]

@sociodoug I recently donated to this program. As a college freshman (many moons ago), I remember living on Ramen and grilled cheese I made with my iron. Lol!
