22. Can examples of symbolic interactionism today be like the gender equality movement (women and LBGT), or like the health movement on veganism (even tho veganism might be based on new technology info) or smoking ciggeretes, and lastly, could symbolic interactionism relate to how we treat others different like from another culture? Racism? Please I don’t understand. I know these are kind of macro level examples but it started by the word of mouth right??

23. The presentation of this video is explained way too fast. I loved the material but she speaks way too fast for the information to soak in.

24. "We can't notice if our values and norms are good or bad unless we step back and look at them through the analytical eyes of a sociologist." An honest sociologist would just provide you details of the effects, seperate from any value judgement thereof. A corrupt sociologist we'll subtlety impose her own value judgements onto those effects under the guise of objectivity.

25. Its good to have straight A's.

30. O_o The moon thing is so weird. I am an English speaker, but I am still used to gendering the moon. The moon is totally feminine in my opinion. She would be not only beautiful but also moody, emotional and serene. Maria would be a decent name for the Moon. However one of the best names for her is Diana. I get into the New Age and mythology a lot. In that context the moon is considered feminine. There is even a moon goddess. The best way to remember is the women have monthly fertility cycles, just like the moon has monthly phase cycles. Men have no such cycles. So I guess sun is masculine due to process of elimination. The sun does have yearly seasonal cycles though. It is interesting that Spanish also designate the moon as feminine. I wonder if there is a connection. One of the main examples of a feminine moon is the moon goddess, Artemis, of Greek mythology. Greek is the most famous kind of mythology in American culture, so I end up being very familiar with it. There are other moon goddesses, like Artemis. There is a Greek moon goddess, named Selene. Selene is a titan, so she came before Artemis. Artemis is an Olympian, so she came later. She even came after the first Olympians. The Romans copied off of the Greeks. So they have thier own moon goddess, named Diana. The Spanish have a similar language to the Romans. So the notion of the moon being associated with a goddess spread to the moon being feminine in the language. Spanish get the feminine word for moon, la luna. I did look it up on Google translate. It works for three other words: sun, earth and sky. The sun is masculine. It refers to the Greek Olympian god Apollo. It also refers to the Greek Titan god Helios. Apollo is also Artemis's twin brother. The Spanish word for sun is masculine, so it fits. The word is el sol. The earth is feminine. She is the mother that nourishes life. When plants grow from the earth, it is like a woman giving birth to a baby. Even English has words of Mother Earth and Mother Nature. The Greeks have a primordial earth goddes, named Gaia. Later there is a similar Olympian goddess, named Demeter. She is the goddess of harvest, which is a lot like the earth. The Spenish word for earth is la tierra. It is feminine, so it fits. The sky is masculine. The sky rules and watches over the world like a king. The sky creates storms and rain. The air energizes life by giving it air to breathe. It gives water to help the plants grow. It like a man fertilizing in order to concieve a baby. Maybe energizing is also like fertilization. The sun gives a major energy source in the form of light. Maybe that is why it is masculine too. English has the word of Father Sky. The biggest religion in my culture is Christianity. Even that has a masculine God living in Heaven, which is in the sky. The Spanish word for sky is el cielo. It is masculine so it fits. The Spanish words are like the English words lunar, solar, terrestrial and celestial. So that makes the words easy to remember. The idea of the moon being masculine is strange to me. Ditto with a feminine sun. Maybe that refers to cultural ideas I am not used to. It is ironic that German is more similar to my language, but it has a stranger moon gender.
