Society

This week I learnt about different things for example, different statuses, roles and groups. I also learnt about how society gives us different roles status without us even asking for it. For example when we are born we are given a status which is defined by our gender. If you are born a man you have to play that role of man and if you a woman you have to play that role of a woman. For some of us we may not want to act or play that role which was assigned to us. It happens in groups also where everyone in the group as a role to play and most times the groups as a certain status which it maintains. This happens in everyday life but I never really thought of it on this level which is taught by our professor. I also learnt of the different types of groups for example, a primary group and a secondary group. We go through life sometimes without even recongnizing these stuff and it was interesting for me to learn about it. The more I learn about sociology, it shows me more in depth about society and how society classes everything and everyone.
