Bro appeared in my notes today
Anyway, some more margin doodles from my old college notes:
I am in college and I usually take notes on my tablet and for some of the more fast-paced lectures the notes are in my handwriting and then before the exam session I would just rewrite them in a text file.
Problem is I make them mostly for myself (I do sent them out, but it doesn't necessaritly register in my mind) and what that means is I will write things as I think of them, often including digressions, jokes, or some form of commentary...
Anyway, my friends love them so very much and apparently they break down laughing at some points, because it is just so out of left field at times
Some exerpts include:
12th October 1492 - Columbus “discovers” America. He reaches the Bahamas on his ship - Santa Maria. Fucker made a couple trips, mostly bounced around Central America. Was Italian, though there are some weird theories about his presumed Polish heritage, personally I don’t buy it, but it is a fun fact
Or
Why did the British sail to the New World? Bc Money. Set up like a joke, but nope, people just be like that. In 1588 GB became the strongest Navy after defeating the Spanish Armada. Queen Lizzie the 1st is very happy and ruling quite prosperously. GB also broke off the relations with the Catholic Church, as it was the time of changing religion like socks (You know what you did Henry the 8th) The C of E (Church of England) is in its infancy, but it is a strong infant, not like one of those that die early, this one is here to stay.
and that is just from the beginning... It goes on. For Thirty. Odd. Pages.
So yeah, I did put in a disclaimer asking them not to worry about me, as I just process information weirdly, and no, I do not need to see a doctor of the brain variety
Is there any recommended sites to sell college notes?
I am struggling to keep up with my bills and I need to make some extra money. are there any recommendations?
she is my muse
Symbolic Interaction
A Micro-level theory; sees society as the product of the everyday interactions of individuals
According to Symbolic Interaction, social structures and functions do not shape society (functionalist perspective), inequality does not shape society (conflict perspective), rather, social interaction shapes society. Main Points of Focus:
Symbols are the foundation of society
Symbols are the meanings we attach to things; we attach meaning to everything: words, gestures, dates, etc. Does July 4th mean something different than July 5th? Why?
We construct meanings and then interact with others based on those meanings
How likely are you to swear in front of your grandmother? Your buddy? Why, what’s the difference? The difference is in the meaning associated with the two different people. You (probably) have a different relationship with your grandmother than you do with your pals
Meanings are learned through interaction with others
Symbols are leaned…you weren’t born with the knowledge that July 4th is a national holiday in the US.
Reality is subjective
Points of view and behavior are influenced by interaction with others; reality is perception
Society is basically nothing more than people interacting – and constructing their own realities
Our identity or sense of self is shaped through social interaction
We develop our self concept by observing how others interact with us and label us; by observing how others define us, we define ourselves.
