Sociology Class

Sociology class is really fun and interesting. This week we talked about how fast we can make judgements on other people, and those judgements aren't always true. We did an activity where 3 students went up in front of the class and behind them on the board were description words. As a class we had to choose 3 of the words that best describes them. We chose descriptions by the way they said hello, and how they spun, but no one in class was best friends with any of them, or even talked to any of them before. We learned that some of those descriptions we chose weren't anything like the person. That showed us how we really do make judgements quickly about people we don't even know. We watched a video in class the other day related to making judgements and connections. One thing that stood out to me was that "we have to embrace vulnerability to feel comfortable being ourselves to make connections." I thought that was very interesting and I am excited to keep learning more.
