    The Lost Boys reflect the exact definition of their name; they are lost in a new culture. This reality will create great difficulties as they move forward, and attempt to create stable, independent lives for themselves. Not every one of these boys will be successful in their journeys. It is these individuals that could create a negative stigma for their fellow Lost Boys in society. This negative influence might be caused by the inability to stay in school, and get a job which could lead to drug and alcohol abuse as a means to cover the shame or pain. Bad circumstances will quickly create a downward spiral for the boys that will be very hard to pull away from. The community will only see these negative ripples, and not the harsh causes; therefore,…

    I first watched this film two years ago when I saw it in the library DVD shelve. I found the concept of babies interesting since they are adorable and tiny, but watching it with a symbolic interaction perspective has given me an insight that I did not have the first time I watched it. Even though all the babies were born to different social environments and economic statuses, the parents wanted their child to be safe and provided what they perceived to be the best basic needs.…

    1. The childhood anecdote from the beginning of the chapter shows that racial prejudices and differences are not inborn and they are a result of the way that society shaped a persons image of the different races. Based on this assumption, it is safe to believe that a non-white three year old would be likely to bring home a white “baby sister” because the three year old wouldn’t realize that there is a difference. White people are put at an advantage with an “invisible knapsack of privileges”.…

    Sociology is the study of the society and the way people interact within it. The field of sociology and trying to study and understand it is very complicating due to the fact that it is such a wide topic. Feelings change along people and nobody can truly explain why people do the things they do. A student attempting suicide out of nowhere is unexplainable or even a random divorce. The unexplainable minds of people and random occurrences really interests me into pursuing this field.…

Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No.8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote.…
