Rules, Class, Culture

This week has been very interesting as I've thought about the rules that are in my family and also about my social class. The videos we watched for class were very interesting, they were about different social classes in America. My favorite one talked about yard ornaments because I know a place where they are very common and people even dress them up for holidays and seasons. in class we talked about different working classes such as lower class, lower middle class, middle middle class, upper middle class, working class, upper class, and elite. I would have considered my family middle middle class, but after the discussion I realized we're probably working class. The realization was interesting more that earth shattering. I will probably be middle class somewhere after I get married, simply because of education.

We also talked about feedback. I didn't quite understand that. There was a lot of talk about positive and negative, what I think I understand about it is that negative feedback are small changes that bring us back to homeostasis. Positive feedback are a lot bigger adjustments that need to be made to bring the system back to original homeostasis, or to create a new homeostasis. I really have no idea, though if that is right. We also talked about class and culture. I tried to think about what my culture would be, I think it is stage mom culture, even though I wouldn't consider my mom a stage mom. My family does a lot of active stuff that involves performing in different mediums; singing, acting, jump rope, drums; and so we are always busy because of that. If we were in a lower class we might not be able to do a lot of that stuff and if we were in a higher class we might to do different things.
