this weekend i had a very eye opening experience. During my experience things just started to click- what i mean is that connections were being made and they made sense. Basically human survival is dependent upon human interaction, which is based on communication- verbally, physically, and emotionally. Everything that a person thinks they know really is not anything more than that persons perspective. that perspective becomes reality to whoever is seeing or feeling from that vantage point. Everything looks simple if you only have one way of looking at it- but the unbelievable truth is that every human being has their own perspective and it deserves just as much value, if not more, than your own views and opinions because of the thought diversity.
It came full circle with empathy being the capability to share and understand others emotions and feelings- that this sole idea creates the need for communication and empathy expands your understanding of how the world really works.
My statements have more meaning too if you believe life is not about a destination but really a journey- and what you learn along the journey is what really matters- learning comes from understanding - understanding comes from multiple perspectives-

  1. Forgot to say that the reason this ties into sociology is that this is the type of person that is necessary for human survival which is also the future of sociology because humans are inevitably on a path of destruction
