Rape

In my sociology class we have been talking about the issues on rape. So what is rape? Rape is the forcing of somebody into sex, the crime of using force somebody to have sexual intercourse with somebody. This issue is very serious, and people that are raped do not tell anyone usually, because they are scared of the stereotypes they will end up with. So people usually point fingers at the people who are probably the most innocent in the case. The people that are raped are usually the ones that society blames saying it was there fault for letting it happen. No it is not their fault it is the person that thought they had the right to do such a horrible thing. The people that were the one that raped someone say they didn’t’ think they were doing anything wrong.  So when the people hear that they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong, people believe them. People need to be more educated about rape so if these people didn’t think they were they could be more educated about rape. I agree that the songs that we listen to have some very bad lyrics that some kids look past, and don’t even realize what they are listening to. Like in the song Blurred Lines rape victims said that a lot of the lyrics in the song are what there predators said to them. That is not the only song that has bad lyrics either. I think in America we point fingers at media and say that it is there fault that kids are listening to their music or television shows and showing that it is okay to rape someone because you feel like it! Rape is something that needs to be talked about more often so that people know more about it and how to stay out of those situations.

ME

 

                               Heredity would be the first thing that affects my everyday life. Everyone has heredity that plays a role in their lives. Heredity is your background on your family’s lives. This plays a role in my life because everything is passed down by traits. Heredity is a huge part because it is passed down from generation to generation.

                       

                        A parental characteristic comes next for me! This is important for me,  because everything I have learned has somewhat been because of my parents. They have taught me my morals and values. They have shaped me into the person I am today.

 

                        Cultural environment would be my third thing that affects my everyday life. This is because of my family mostly. Cultural environment is the traditions that people have during the holidays. This applies to me because there are a lot of things that my family does during the holidays that are important to me.

 

                        Birth order would be my last. It is my last because I don’t really believe that it is true I believe anyone in your family can have the personalities despite the order of the children. Like in my family I believe my brother and I have switched what are personalities are supposed to be.

 

                        All these things have shaped me into the person I am today. These certain things influence us in our everyday lives in some way. That is why people are different from one another because of the different environments.

Birth Order

Have you ever wondered why do people have different personalities? It may be because of your birth order! In my sibling order I'm the oldest child, researchers say that the oldest child is responsible,driven, leadership, and conservative. I'm not a leader in any way I would say I'm more of a follower. I can be responsible at times but I wouldn't say all the time. Therefore I do not see any of the things they have described the oldest children as myself. I will say though I do boss my siblings around, but I also watch out for them like a parent would. I also do try to follow my parents wishes. Now my brother is the middle child I would agree with the things they described the middle child as. He is very creative but there are some traits that he has that are what researchers describe the oldest children as. He is a perfectionist where I am not all the time. They say most of the presidents in the United States are the oldest children well I could see my brother being more of a president just because of his charecteristics. I think I have more of the middle child traits then the oldest. I think what they have as the youngest childrens charecteristics are very close. My sister is the youngest and is defnitaly thinks she is entertaining, which she can be sometimes. She is very dependeble but that is because when you have older siblings the siblings just do everything for you. The only thing I would not agree with for the youngest sibling is they say that the youngest are laid-back my sister is not laid-back, but it probably all just depends on the family. I believe some of the things researchers say about birth order traits, but any of those traits could be found in any of the children. I agree with Dalton Conley, arthor of "The Pecking Order." He explains that there are a lot of other factors that affect the behavior of children." Early death of a parent, timing of ecomomic shocks to the family, gender expectations and roles in the family, you name it," Conley said. I believe this is true outside influences and random events can also have an effect on children.
