Introduction

My name is Kylie Johnson and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Idaho. I am majoring in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminology and my minor is in Political Science. I am member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta and I am also a member of Air Force ROTC. I am hoping to obtain a pilot slot with the Air Force after graduation. Sociology is appealing to me because I like to learn about the idea of community and how people interact. I think it's interesting how many factors can go into decision making for one individual. I am particularly interested in the section pertaining to Politics and the Economy, but another category that I am very interested in is Family and Religion.
 

 

I chose this particular photo to represent Sociology because it shows many different types of people from many different backgrounds and society's and this is the essence of Sociology. Different societies, people, and cultures all play key roles in our world. I think it is important how every individual makes up a part of the whole picture, and I think Sociology helps people work toward understanding that connection between different people.
 
"A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
 
This quote seems to embody the idea that we "live and we learn", while it is hard for every person to live through experiences and learn from those, I feel that Sociology can help fill in some missing experiences with insight to give us the tools to learn valuable life lessons to gain life skills and experiences.
