Children, Families, and Schools

    The three theories and perspectives are crucial to life and understanding the diverse stories and experiences encountered through the people we meet. Everyone's family has a different story and different hardships. For example, when we first meet a friend, we know nothing about them, but then we get to know them better. Functionalism is crucial to education and adaptation. The education exposes us to experiences out of the norm for social interaction.
    
    Conflict theory argues that highlighting the role of social changes and adaptation builds kids into stronger people. Symbolic interaction focuses on the development of Gender roles, student-teacher relations, and family impact on students at school.

I decided on number one for family, and I looked into gender roles and their educational competency during college. There were a few surveys conducted, and this is what they found. "In both periods, women with a high school diploma, GED, or less education were more likely to have ever cohabited with an opposite-sex partner than were women with some college or higher education".

For my nonprofit, I chose an agency called The Annie E Casey Foundation. This agency focuses on helping the youth who were in foster care develop a brighter future and outcome. A direct statement from their foundation shows how much they care about the youth. "As a private philanthropy based in Baltimore and working across the country, we make grants that help federal agencies, states, counties, cities and neighborhoods create more innovative, cost-effective responses to challenges facing children and young people: poverty, unnecessary disconnection from family and communities with limited access to opportunity".

When you have a family member who you lost to addiction, you can see firsthand how it changes someone, and not in a good way. Drugs rewire the brain and become addictive so fast that you won't even be able to tell when the addiction starts.             Alcohol feels great in the moment, but never the next day. It has high sugar and alcohol levels, which are not good for the body. It can alter your entire personality and drive you to the brink of insanity. Also, drinking too much can lead to blacking out and not even remembering your activity. 2. Sociological perspectives, functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism are all affected when a person is not in their normal state of mind It can be fine to have a few drinks, but not knowing what is happening.

Educating yourself with Societal problems.

SYG 2010, Understanding Social Problems  Alyssa Richardson      1. In the world today, scientific methods, such as observation, analysis, and surveys, are used to determine the correct reasoning. Experiments have been devised by many people and are one way researchers use deductive reasoning in natural and physical sciences.    2. Symbolic Interactionism is used in daily life and social interactions. This one is most appealing to me because it is so common and important for humans to interact and provoke their minds. " Symbols, whether verbal or non-verbal, are not inherently meaningful; their significance is derived from social interaction. Rather than viewing individuals as passive products of society, this perspective sees people as active participants who shape their social world through everyday interaction​". 3.
