1.       I think that this statement is true. Society knows how to get into certain people’s head.  It knows how to put people down in the dumps and feel bad about themselves. Society can hurt people so much that it mentally kills them. it makes them feels so bad that they don’t think that they have a purpose in life, this can lead to suicide. Physical society can do is push people away or run away from the people we care about most. Like abandoning children and leaving them to live on their own. Society knows how to kill peoples spirit and personal enjoyment without death.

      This is a good question. If you couldn’t separate your civilized self from your savage self I honestly think it depends on the person. If the person is mentally strong then I don’t think that he would end up becoming a savage. I think people that are mentally strong have a better chance staying civilized. For me personally I think that I would stay civilized longer than a lot of people. I feel that it would take me along time to go savage, and start doing things I couldn’t imagine.

           I believe that it depends on the people in that civilization, and their beliefs. I honestly think that most civilizations start out with everyone helping out with no leaders. As the civilization begins to grow it stays the same. No one wants to make a change because they don’t want to stick out. People don’t want other people judging them, they don’t want to stick out in the crowd because of their thoughts and their actions. Everyone likes to follow the norms of society. And that’s why I think that the society controls the people. Because the people are don’t want to be judged if they change the norms.

           The LOTF was only talking to Simon because he was not in the right frame of mind. Simon was dehydrated and hungry so he was hallucinating. That’s why the LOTF was only talking to Simon and I believe that the LOTF was using his thoughts and was telling him these things.

Sociology Blog 3

The video we watched really got to my head. It made me think way more than I thought that it would. I didn’t want to believe it right away, it honestly made me a little angry. But as I kept listening and I put myself in their shoes I couldn’t do anything but think about what they are thinking. I honestly feel sympathy for them, but I wouldn’t tie religion in with it. Religion doesn’t have anything to do with why we are fighting. I don’t understand why they would think that it is. We have people there helping them because they don’t want what they are going through. The way is see it is the people are getting hurt by their own country more than they are getting hurt by the American soldiers. Americans soldiers seem to be doing more to help the people than their own country. I see myself fitting into the big picture of society by doing things for others and by treating my neighbor as myself. People don’t realize how much the smallest actions help the society. Some of the small thin...
