In Sociology today we learned about "norms." What is truly normal? There are answers to this question but they are all different. We learned through a survey that even when asked what our whole society views as normal, all the answers varied. When you go to a different country, norms can be taboos and taboos can be norms. This made me realize how ignorant it is to judge something from a different culture. It comes back to the fish bowl concept we learned earlier, people are always looking in on you. It is important to respect other peoples' views and appearances. Stereotyping is stupid because different identities mean different things to different people.
I cannot wait to perform the random act of kindness. Many people forget how a small act of selflessness can make someone's day. It got me thinking...if everyone did atleast one R.A.K. everyday, the world would be such a better place. We don't realize that the little mean things we do can affect people greatly as well. It is good to always be sociologically mindful.
