This week in sociology we watched a movie that was called, "Tuesday's With Morrie". This great film was about different cultures. This movie was avout a man who was near to dying every minute that went by. His name was Morrie and he went through a lot if struggles. Mitch was a sports column writer who helped out Morrie because he had nobody. Everytime Mitch would come to see him it would be a Tuesday and he would bring goods to Morrie for his visit. Morrie always loved the goods and appreciated everything he did for Morrie. As their journey together on Tuesdays went on, Mitch started ti bring a recording device so he could always remember his voice. At first, Mitch thought it was rediculous and unnecessary but Morrie insisted by saying that he wanted Mitch to always hear his voice. As things continued, they got more and more emotional between the two if them. When it wasn't Tuesday, Morrie would ask where's Mitch? Morrie was having rough times crying himself to sleep at night and was very happy when Mitch was around. Mitch learned the proper techniques of taking care of Morrie when he really needed to such as breathing, lifting him into a chair, etc. Along came the next Tuesday, and Morrie had passed on that Saturday night. Mitch was devastated. After this film, we discussed why the movie was sad and many had the response of because of their relationship and how it tied in with eachother. This was a great film to watch based on what was going on in class and what we were learning.

This week in Sociology we watched, "God Grew Tired of Us". This film is about the Lost Boys of Sudan. The Lost Boys had been through alot and so much was going on. They had totally different societies between Sudan and New York. This was about the lost boys traveling from Sudan to New York to get to a safer place and live in a better community. At home, they didn't have food or jobs or anything most Americans have today. When they traveled to New York, they had split an apartment and learned all about their homes and what everything does. For example, they were being taught what to do when going to the bathroom. Some things they didn't have in Sudan but they have in America are beds, food, refrigerator, bathroom, sinks, clothes, etc. Now that this world and I think about it, Americans are very lucky to have what we have. Americans are fighting for survival like Sudan is. In Sudan, they were helping one another to survive and do things together because there is literally nothing to do out there. This movie had an impact on me because I realized what it was like out in Sudan how fortunate we are.
