AHA!

1.I got a kick out of the social learning theory ans socialization. once i read the paragraph i really got an understanding on where trends and other behaviors come from. in a way i knew how socialization works but never put it together. the social learning theory is incredibly true in which people learn from what they see on TV. the saying "monkey see monkey do" comes to mind when i hear about socialization.

2. Another AHA moment i had this quarter was learning about the movie industry. many controversies have surrounded the motion picture companies for years. one of the topics that seems to come up quite often is violence in movies. i really was shocked to see how motion pictures have be changed throughout the last hundred years.

3. The last interesting moment i had was learning about the "News". the news and media are the general populations main source of whats happening in our world. however the social media has a way of sometime "bend" the truth sometimes. thinking that the media has a way of telling us all the negative acts and putting negative spins on everything can be scary. we only know what the media tells us. if they report something bad about an individual then we the people dislike that person. the media is very powerful. do not always believe what you hear!
