Society and Social Interactions 1- Peer discussion 1. Question: Share a major stressor in your life (e.g., childcare, unemployment, family, etc.) and explain if that stressor exists in the three various types of societies described in the readings. How would that stressor be addressed in those three societies? (CSLO 2, USLO 2.1)    -Given my current situation, with work, school, and family, work/life balance would be my biggest stressor. At times it feels like I'm failing at one or at all. Making sure I give adequate time and attention to all three is something I struggle with. I believe a similar stressor existed in all three society types preindustrial, industrial, and postindustrial societies. During preindustrial societies Families worked long hours and many times the children had to help with the work at a young age. During the industrial revolution, society was focused on growing wealth. Many parents now worked outside of the home. In our current society (postindustrial society), work/life balance is a problem. Both parents are now working full-time jobs trying to provide the next new thing that comes out.   2. 1 Response to the first peer post: 2- Peer Discussion Introduction to Sociology 2. Question: Explain the sociological imagination (SI) and what it means to reflect upon one’s life using the sociological imagination. Describe a recent situation in which societal pressures influenced a choice you made. Using your sociological imagination, explain how those societal pressures may have been different for your parents and grandparents when they were your age? -Sociological imagination is described as "an awareness of the relationship between a person's behavior and experience and the wider culture that shaped the person's choices and perceptions" (Introduction to Sociology, 2015). To reflect on your life using the sociological imagination means to see how your behavior and choices are affected by the society around you. A recent situation in which societal pressures influenced a choice I made had to do with school. My work environment is filled with very ambitious and education-oriented people who encouraged me to further my education and get a higher degree. These societal pressures may have been different for my parents and grandparents because they were from countries where women did not seek higher education. Most women in society at that time did not finish primary school. Women were encouraged to be housewives and support the men who were looked to for financial needs.  2 Response to the second peer: 3 Peer discussion Question: Explain the sociological imagination (SI) and what it means to reflect upon one’s life using the sociological imagination. Describe a recent situation in which societal pressures influenced a choice you made. Using your sociological imagination, explain how those societal pressures may have been different for your parents and grandparents when they were your age? (CSLO2, USLO 1.1) -According to Galen College of Nursing, sociological imagination refers to the persons behaviors and experiences in connection with culture and structure that forms the person (2023). This might seem trivial but I recently had a first birthday party for a daughter. I work full time, have two small children, and am enrolled in 2 BSN classes. I wanted to combine birthday parties for my two children as their birthdays are only one month apart. I was pressured by my family to not combine birthday parties and now I find myself spending more money and devoting more time than I have to planning another birthday party. While applying the sociological imagination to this topic I would say my answer varies for each my parents and grandparents. I would imagine my parents wanted my daughter to have her own party because they never made me or siblings share a party so why would I ask my children to do so? My grandparents are a bit tougher and I would say their viewpoint would be why have a party at all, their kids did not get many parties so why does a 1 year old need a party at all.  3 Response to the third peer:
