Capitalism FTW.

Oh boy CAPITALISM. It had to come to this.
All of those who do not know what capitalism is you've came to the right spot.
"Capitalism is generally considered by scholars to be an economic system that includes private ownership of the means of production creation of goods or services for profit or+ income the accumulation of capital competitive markets, voluntary exchange, and wage labor." Wikipedia is so simple at explaining things -_-

This is what capitalism basically means in simple terms: An economic system where things can be bought (such as property or products) by an individual or a group of people, not by the government. This also includes that people can work for money in order to buy things they need such as food. Sounds good right? Well there are some negative things about it.
 Let’s go over the pro’s and con’s, shall we?
Some of the positive things include that it creates competition in the country. It encourages people to work very hard to achieve wealth and prestige. I mean, face it, it’s the only modern economic system that is successful. It provides endless opportunities for all and the individual is in charge of their own life and what they can buy and how much money they could be paid according to how hard they work and etc etc.
Although it is proven to be successful, it is also proven to be terribly unfair. What about those people who weren’t fortunate enough to have parents who did not teach them how to succeed or encourage them to attend school? Capitalism does not provide a safety net for that; it just says “Too bad, fix it yourself” and holds you accountable for your life decisions.

I like capitalism. Even though it is unfair, it is the only thing that works. You’re on your own; work hard, get a good job, and live your life the way you want it. Thanks for reading!

Oh Globalization, How I Love You

'Ello! Happy EASTER, everyone! Thanks for joining in this week's blog. Everyone has heard of globalization at least once in their lives but what is it? And is it good or bad for our planet??

SWell I'm glad you asked! (kinda) Globalization basically has to do with the distribution and trade of goods and services from country to country in order to increase the global relationships of cutlure, people, and economic activity.

But is it a good thing? SOUNDS LIKE IT!

It creates a lot of jobs for employees, it creates better relationships between countries that can benefit the entire world. It promotes global trust and it has increased the speed of travel, communication, and information accessibility through the internet!

But, yes it does have some problems. It causes the high class to get richer and the lower class to get poorer. So it isn't really benefiting necessarily everybody in the world; just the rich people.

HOWEVER, stay with me. I think that globalization is still a very good thing that happened to the world because  it is clear that the pro's outweigh the con's. Although, it does make the lower class even poorer and causes them to work under bad conditions, I believe that countries have advanced due to this.

But what is your opinion on this? Comment in the section below!

Thank you and keep coming back for next week's blog! :D

Being Rational in Sociology? HARDLY.

Heyyy all of you awesome bloggers! This week's blog will be covering the positivist and interactionist approaches and which one better suits sociology.

Interview!

The positivist approach has to do with more rational thinking. It uses quantitative data such as statistics and hard-core facts. Whereas the interactionist approach uses interviews and people's behaviors to figure out the way they act in society. This, in my opinion, provides better methods at gaining a deeper knowledge of sociological issues because sociology is not about the hard-core facts, being rational, and depending on certain equations and statistics. It is a social science that uses no other evidence than questionnaires, interviews, and discussions with people. This allows the sociologist to deeper understand the person within and why they act a certain way in society or what role they serve. Quantitative data alone is simply not enough to let a researcher or sociologist understand these things. 

What do you think? Interactionist or Positivist? Leave a comment below! Thank you! :D
