Week 2

this week in sociology  we talked about the three socilogical imagination perspectives,functional analysis, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction . Functional analysis is studying of how people funtion in society.Conflict theory is studying of convicts and the power struggles within them of who has the power in the conflict . Symbolic interaction is how people interpret different symbols and there different meanings in society. In class we interped these three prespectives by looking at the T.V show Freaks and Geeks.This show is about a high school in the 80's and the struggles of high school in there teenage lives.While we were watching the show we had to analysis the function of sere ton groups and how they function in the high school For example look at the geeks, they are the smart but not overly popular part of the school but they serve a function of being smart and some times being at the bottom of the food change of popularity. We also had to look out and study the main convicts of the show like how the main charters little brother got bulled and when his friends actually fought the bully the power was in main control of the bully because he was stronger and had the most control over the situation.We also had to look for symbols as well like Jason Sigel character drum set which symbolized to him something he enjoys doing and makes every day worth it and he tells the main character to find that sort of thing and have fun with it.These three perspectives relate to my life as well.some times I think about how some little dales are impotent to functioning in society like what clothes will help you fit in or what chothes to were at sermon parts of the year like sometimes i will wear a football shirt in the middle of base ball season but it would matter to people.Also some times i have convicts in my life that I have not total control in like what time to go to bed because i have to get up early and go to school it is end of decision and my mom sets those rules and i follow them. I can also connect to what the drum set symbolized to Jasons charcater is very similar to what sybolise some things in my life too like watching football with my dad. I love doing it and i also because of that branch out and have become such a huge fan of football because of what it means to me.
