Hello, my name is Faith. I am from
the San Fernando Valley, which for those of you who don’t know is located in
Los Angeles. Something interesting about me is that I have traveled to over
twenty different counties. My ultimate goal is to travel to each and every
continent; so far I have set foot on 5 out of the 7. I hope that my first hand
experiences with life around the globe will benefit me in this class.
Sociological
imagination is essentially about questioning all social occurrences in your
life and then developing answers to these questions based on history and
biographies. When you use sociological imagination you ask questions like how
would my life have differed if I grew up in a foreign country or why do I feel
the need to wear make up as a girl? Through asking ourselves these questions we
attempt to gain a deeper understanding about why we do the things we do and how
our actions are connected to society.
Something I find strange and wish
to learn more about is the reason that boys maintain short hair and girls long
hair. This strange occurrence takes place almost everywhere in the world. My
essential question is when did boys first begin wearing their hair short
because when ever we see images of cavemen they sport long ratted hair. Also
why does our culture automatically view a boy as a rebel if he choices to have
long hair and a girl as a dike if she wishes to shave her hair off?
