Few weeks ago we learn about different agents of socialization how they effect on us by different group. I think is if you are following some group of agents you have different part of following it. By this we learn about significant role of us. For me most important agents of socialization is Family. I had a greatest impact form my family. Family is very significant because we all learn our own culture, values, how to talk with other people, respect, different skills of way to live a life. I think this is one of the important thing for me because when I was in third grade, my parents always take me to the temple where other people like teachers teach about our culture, pray to God, who we are, what should we have to do to make our life more easier. This something we have to learn from our own family. If we have family we can do anything like if we are in trouble or problem we can ask them for help or they are only one close to us that help us out. When we saw that seven things good parents do that kids screw up. But this is not true we have to learn some of them so we can be in good track for our life. My next significant agents of socialization is Religion. Without religion I can not live my life proparly because if you have your own religion you can learn or get something out of it like when I came to USA, out Temple was just built so they have lot of different program we can do like dance, learn about Hinduism and lot of other things that we can not learn from our family or someone us. So, after few time I started my own classes in Temple to teach little kids about what is our culture and how to write our native language. It is kind of very nice because through out my life I always think about doing something good that people can remember me.
My last most important agents of socialization is School. When ever I think about school first thing came up on my mind is Friends, and Teachers. I like to go to school because we learn something out of school. When I was in tenth grade in India when we take Tenth grade exam it is very important for us to decide what we have to do on 11 and 12th grade. I got first number in my native language. I got 86/100 its like 99/100 here. It is very hard to get this score. I am proud of my teachers and my father who tought me this. So, school is kind of very vital for us when we are learning something.
Like Last sunday we did the activity called UN-TV it was very crazy for me because when we have to watch program for like 10-15 minutes it have to look up for how many time they change visual thing like photos, background, sound,etc. This is make me tired because we have to count very quickly. Also, we I was watching Indian program with out turn on noise it was very hard for me to understand and what is going on there. This is kind a different activity then others. Also, when we see the little kids about consumer like different advertising and what they watch on TV that is kind of Rickey for kinds when we saw to them. But kids does not understand that advertising it and buy what ever they. But after they grown up they will understand what is that mean. When I was kid, when I see some good advertising in TV, I got so excited and what to buy that item or want to know about what it is. Sometime addvertising effect the children on their mind and they thought about it for long time. Like if they saw bad advertising it create their mind to do it.

Just Do Nothing............
Last week, when we have to do assignment Nothing. I went to Jewel-Osco for this. I was standing around the cash counter. When I was standing there lot of people going around me and suddenly one lady come to me ask me questions that do you need any help? What are you doing? I just said I am not doing anything. After 10 minutes, I was thinking that it is hard to make your mind to do nothing. But anyways, when I was thinking as a sociology, I think this activity it to make up our mind to think for nothing about anything. I think is very hard to concentration or focus on do nothing. I think this was my first time to do like this. It was kind a fun to do this. When we go to Temple or some social place they every time told us to do nothing like talk or anything that disturb them.
Also, when we are thinking about Happiness in our life by different things we can do. Like when we reading ArticleThrive it was very interesting to read about how people or things can change your life and happiness. When we think about different relation ship with people like at work, school, and how do you interact with them and how do you get happy from them. How do you talk to them and what they think about you.
People are happiest when they spend their time and money on experiences, as opposed to objects. I advises taking up an interest in sports or the arts, which will provide longer-term satisfaction than any one purchase. Different country people thought different things and way to think about happiness. When I go to temple, I always sit in front of the God and think about what is going around with me and what should I do to make my life more happy. When I think about happiness, I always pray to God for my future and make my life smooth. Life is very complicated. Happiness A variety of biological, religious and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources. is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

Fear of Death
This week when we talk about Article Bemused in America they talk about super market that open 24 hours, also about joggers who run in early morning around 5 a.m. The American culture is so different then my culture because they have different rules, their way to follow their own religious. When in India the supermarket does not open 24 hours and they close certain time and open certain time. Also. very few joggers in India because of the lot of pollution and dust around. America is better place for me to live because here I feel more comfortable with environment. However, different places and different countries have their own rules and way to follow their rules.
When we watch movie about Tuesday with Morrie that was very wonderful movie I ever watch about Death is not fear to him but he is very happy to everyone that show us that he is not fear about death. When everybody talk about death we got fear about that. But Morrie was the person who was not fear about death. Also, in life someday people must have to die one day so we don't have to worry about death. Morrie was suffering from disease. He does not care what other people think and he is not afraid to think outside around him Throughout the movie, there are parts where he loses breath, cries, or can barely speak. It breaks Mitch's heart and more so everyone he is become close to. People does not care about death because death rate is going very high and it becomes normal for some people. Also, when I think about death I think is very obvious for me because when I was fifteen my uncle got colon cancer when he was in India. He was my mother's brother and he came to USA with us and he got some therapy and he live for 2 years and he was dead in India. I was very close to him and that day I feel live is like a game. He did not have any disease or anything and suddenly he got cancer. So, this show me that anything can happen any time. Also, when you are near to anyone you feel bad for them but after they died you feel death is just usual.

Different Subcultures and Our Role.
when ever we think about culture or subculture means you are part of something that we are following through our live. It is very important to us when we are part of something like my subculture is Hindu. But in Hindu there is lot of different parts, in different place they celebrate their own way in India. There are like 33 millions of God in India. All are part of Hindu. So, people believe on their own and follow their culture how they taught. In USA, I am part of volunteer at temple, teach kids, work in subway, we have our own cricket team. So, for different part we all have different roles and how we follow them. Within every culture there are subcultures that have specific aspects that makes them stand apart from all of the others. Our school has certain traits that make it different from other schools and make it a good place that other schools look up to and want to visit. Lot of people visit our school because they have something unique. Also, in our school there lot of material culture like different language, taboos, and when I go to temple try to help kids to learn something about Hindu or different Indian culture. Hinduism is very big subculture.
Different cultures have different norms like when we see video about Indian traffic and how people cross streets. It is very tough in India to drive and cross roads. I lived in India for 15 years and I know all this things and how this works. It is kind a hard to follow what we see but it work out well. For,all different cultures or countries they have everything different from India and they used to follow their own and try to fit on here. Because when I was in India, we do not have rules like here and so fun at school and back to going home. When you talk about India it very critical to cross roads because they have everything on one way not like people who are walking they have different road for them to walk. This is kind a better than India. It occur less accidents.
