metaphor to understand what you’ll get from this class: how you got to school today, literally, in your daily lief as you interact with others even though you may share a place then and there you come to it from different points in different ways
all your choices happen within a social context
why you went to cpcc: money transfer / gateway diverse community dual enrollment location flexibility
How do those represent
how do those things influence our choice to come here money is very important transfer
social forces contexts and culture
money is context transfer / gateway would be context diverse community is culture dual enrollment / free CMS is context location is context
social forces are like waves some are small some come up and knock you down economic inequality is a social force economic inequality is also a culture, a way of life. Some people are raised with the expectation of COURSE you were going to college.
Help me understand how culture can influence the choice to go to CPCC
some pepole say community college students are lazy. Some people say that because they havent looked at it like a sociologist an individuals choices have been influenced by scoail context, social forces, and culture
has the social context changed in the last 10 years has the social context changed in the last 50 years
how different would this classroom look if this class was held 100 years ago?
would we have a woman teacher?
