Sociological Stages

The use of sociology can be attached to any persons life. Sociology is the study of human behavior, whether it be the origins or the development. Different influences and locations can affect what truthfully defines us, and sociology determines the why. Through my life I've observed multiple events that can be attached to sociology. Since first glance my gender role has been chosen. The doctor took one look at my sex and defined my gender as a male. After being assigned as male, an ascribed status had been placed upon me as my parents son. Its a status that is neither chosen nor earned but assigned. I, like every other person, sought to achieve something beyond what has been assigned to us. This is the basis of an achieved status.
The only things that I learned in the first couple years of my life were things that appealed to my senses. In this stage I started to learn the essentials to my survival. In this stage babies put their trust into their parents to keep them safe from things that can harm them. In this stage you learn that the temperature of something can cause harm, that what we put in our mouth can taste gross, and that sometimes if we look at things we might have to look away. The sensorimotor stage is followed by the preoperationonal stage. This is between ages 2-7. It's when we become verbal and start to use language, a system of symbols and words that used to communicate with one another. During this stage we don't really comprehend things we haven't experienced for ourselves. In this stage we start to have attachment to things. We're unable to distinguish between what is our perspective and that of another
During this stage we reflect back on our life. We think about past events and hope to have a feeling of accomplishment. This is the time I believe that older people become bitter if they haven't accomplished what they wanted to in life. I'd like to believe that when I reflect back the status, a social position that a person holds, I achieve will be important to me. I truthfully want to change the world and contribute to human rights. This assignment has taught me a lot about myself, and a lot about sociology as a whole. I tried to write about different events in my life and apply sociology through it in terms and theories. Its taught me a lot about myself and the advantages and disadvantages I've had in life all on the basis of what people view as popular culture. Through taking this course I have a better understanding of people from all different backgrounds and how to treat events because of these new things I know. I honestly believe that taking this course has taught me how to be a better person and how to respect a fellow human
