Sociology Imagination
Traveling in Japan, I visited the school of a young friend, Yukiko (age 8) and got a small taste of her world. Japanese schools are very disciplined and the students are taught to be self-sufficient. I was actually quite impressed by their system and wondered if it would ever be possible to instill some of these qualities in the American educations system. There is a link to a video Schools in Japan
in class We watched this video. Blogs are for you to use your “sociological imagination” by applying something that we discussed in class, covered in lectures, read in your textbook, or saw in a video to your everyday life. The blog must be at least 300 words in length and respond specifically to some of the topics discussed in class. You must have ONE SOURCE that is not your textbook, powerpoint slides, or class notes. Tell me: add more information by including a new source argumentwhether you thought the movies and clips were thought-provoking or just did not provide a strong enough whether you agree or disagree with how a topic was respresented (make sure to tell me whey you feel they way you do) how you feel about specic topics that were presented in class
