(JCB) Chapter 1: Jeans/Discovering Sociology

This chapter was really interesting. Pants have a lot of history and it’s interesting to see how we today wear pants all the time. Pants were made by woman and men and they do a lot of hard work doing it. I wonder what if one person never wear pants and to see how people look at that person. Back 100 year pants were not even for woman they were for men and I find that crazy because now pants are more for woman. Also today pants are to expensive and especially the ripped jeans.

(JCB) Preface

This preface of this book is really interesting. It’s not like every other book boring and just saying what the book is about. I found it interesting because it says it right in the title that using the stuff of everyday life. This is what I found interesting because I can understand it easily because I will know what it is talking about. The Diagram the textbook show I was kind of confused about it because it points to the word sociology saying that is where I am in state of mind. Which I can kind of see that is true because as human being I was raised to see things a certain way. In the first couple of sentences it states that “most of us people don’t know what we want to be when we grow up but we do know what next thing we want to buy”, I found this really relatable because it is very true. It says that hopefully in this book we can find out why we think that way. This book is going to be really interesting and I believe this is going to be the first book I actually enjoy and understand what is going on.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
