A Day in the Life of Me
A Day in the Life of Me – Week 7
Introduction to Sociology - SOCI111 with Dr. Tinker
Everyday I wake up and come into contact with objects and people of all nationalities, cultures and social class, which is sociological. Objects I see or use such as clothes, music, phone or even appliances that help me wake up (coffee of course) help me to start my day. Interestingly enough everyday life consists of human beings interacting with one another, their ideas, and emotions, which can be called sociology of identification. We recognize and participate sociologically with our family at home, our peers and employers at work and students at school.
An example is the very class I am participating in right now, interacting using a set of norms by conforming to them and working to get this paper in or by breaking them (deviancy) by watching television and stalling writing, which I am kind of doing. (Henslin, 2010) Rigid adherence to my beloved daily routine is the most essential aspect of not letting stress into my life. I will tell you about it, however keep in mind all times are "-ish" as I work a flexible schedule and need to be able to adjust according to life’s challenges. My daily routine begins at 4:45 when I get up, find my workout shorts, and make the trek downstairs and take a litany of pills. Once I have taken my pills that consist of two Aleve, a multi-vitamin, allergy pill, fish oil pill and high dose of Alpha-Lipoic Acid for cell repair I talk myself into a reason why I need to workout. While I know this activity is in my best interest, I still for some reason try to talk myself out of it. I go ahead and turn on the television, change the recorder to WWE and start to work out.
This provides me the benefit of good health thereby reducing the possibility of falling into the sick role and having it impact my work environment, which enhances my productivity. (Henslin, 2010)
From 5:30 – 6:00 I finish my workout, then go make myself a protein shake to
