@jeanniepost @KIN110UofR I agree, the theories do really put things into perspective! I think it’s great learning about feminism in sociology - so many people think feminism is about giving females more but what they don’t realize is it really is about equal opportunity for all - so many things to learn!

Hey everyone 👋🏻 Hope you all had a great semester! With it being the last day of class, I thought it would be a great idea to share with one another what we’ve learned. What is the most interesting / valuable thing you learned this semester in KIN 110?🏆🎉@KIN110UofR

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@SandraKIN110 @KIN110UofR I think that’s one of the best things about sociology - it is something that everyone can learn to understand and apply no matter the context 😊 I have taken other sociology courses and I had been nervous about them as well but they turned out great! I learned so much!

@adorkwart @MckennaMair @KIN110UofR I agree with @MckennaMair staffing can be switched out but tremendous leaps would have to be taken to modify the 2 other sectors of the triangle - and even with big steps taken lots of times it is inaccessible and unrealistic from a finical standpoint to change

@Jeanettekin110 @KIN110UofR Wow😳 I read the article and that’s intense!! @Jeanettekin110 do you think even with such big acts of violence the fans of the derby of eternal enemies will be devastated by the ending of such a big event??

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

This TedTalk not only addresses concepts we’ve covered lately in class but also things we’ve learned throughout the entire semester! It addresses those underlying issues in sport and the sociological origin of where these mentalities come from in athletes and fans

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@KIN110UofR Hey everyone! I am obsessed with TedTalks and I came across one that I think would be valuable for everyone to watch - it ties in concepts of violence in sport 🏈 Let me know your thoughts on the video down below ⬇️https://t.co/bdyn11opmu

@KaylaSt01686885 I agree that in certain sports we do not hear about drug doping as frequently - do you think with PEDs being under the radar more athletes are willing to try out performance enhancers due to a lack of fear in being caught?

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

Policing PEDs may be difficult to regulate, but never will it be a lost cause - 💉taking drug enhancers takes away an opportunity from another athlete who put in long hard hours of training and extreme dedication to climb to the top and win! https://t.co/Y7WHYuBVmE #Lab8KIN11019

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@JLKin110 @KIN110UofR This still deems as an issue because while society has progressed, there is still many stereotypes & historical beliefs that exist. Breaking barriers & overcoming hardships appeals to the human eye. Society combines past notations with ideal storylines and that creates conflict.

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@KIN110UofR What are some small town teams or rec league teams that you know of that have racially controversial mascots that don’t get addressed frequently??? What do you think would be a more respectful mascot as an alternative to what they have currently??

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@KIN110UofR When we think about #racism in the form of mascots, we often think of professional teams. What about local junior teams? Here’s a controversial mascot from my home town https://t.co/2Gepdv7LWl

@KIN110UofR I think today is a great day to bring up #womeninleadership since March 8th is #InternationalWomensDay 💪🏻❤️ This day represents empowerment, freedom of choice & action, power & opportunity, and encouragment to women to take on any role they desire regardless of society’s view!

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@BelangerFraiser @KIN110UofR I just came across elevator surfing! I think both of these types of ‘surfing’ are very appealing to those who want to try something on the more risqué side of recreational activity - even though they are highly dangerous 😬

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@KIN110UofR #legalityofsports The strangest illegal sport/activity I came across today is elevator surfing😳 People unlock the top of the elevator, climb on top and ride the lift; sometimes jumping from one elevator to the next‼️ https://t.co/bJAzxJXbY0

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@KIN110UofR When thinking about sport events such as the olympics; sponsors help athletes get the training, safety and travel they need to participate. Without $ there isn’t enough revenue to construct the equipment and stadiums needed. Money is critical in running big events such as this!

[Katelyn Lysitza @KLysitza]

@Jonatha04261250 @KIN110UofR I agree with the other comments as well that often in society there is still that conceptualization that gender plays a role in how acts of violence are portrayed - historical gender roles and norms play a big part into this
