Bringing it all together - The final blog

I almost didn't take soc, I almost took food prep, and I'm happy with the decision I made. Sociology has opened my mind to things that I'd never thought about before: all the influences I have, the existance of a class system in America; the idea of time in other countries. So many things I would have never considered to be an important factor in my life, I learned about in soc. So many things control the way I am today to the smallest detail about which type of bread I like to something broader like what I want to do with my life. So looking back on it, why am I such a calm person? It's easy to say it's just the way I am, but it's more than that. My dad prides himself in his handywork around the house: he installs light switches, wires together entertainment systems, builds our computers, and keeps little things organized. I think a big part of my personality comes from him. I have fond memories of sitting on his lap and playing car racing games on the computer. Whenever he starts a big project around the house, he recruits me to help out and explains everythign. So what if my dad wasn't good with his hands or had no electrical knowledge? Would I be an entirely different person? What if he loved hockey and not baseball? These are the kinds of things that sociology has opened my mind to, and I feel like I look at the world in a higher sense of conciousness.
