Video 2 –was hard to hear but Mary Patillo she really open my eye with her topic about poor black communities. I didn’t realize that people were so close minded to say a statement like Mary heard on her bus tour “that you may think this is a white neighborhood “ just because the of the up keep of the community . When I was listing to the video I remembered a term in the book role expectation. I think that when someone go to or drive throw a different community other then their own many people expectation are wrong with who lives there. Too many people judge a book by its cover.

Somehow the Mary Patillo thread disappeared. Ergo, a new one.

Listening to this conversation, can you see how Mary's biography drove her own sociological investigations? Have you noticed our racially divided neighborhoods? Are there assumptions you've run into in the past that tacitly state 'how things are' in a region that have surprised you?

I like how he takes something that cant be seen, such as feeling, and makes a model to explain it in scientific terms and images. I also was amazed at how a computer can take millions of information and analyze it to figure out human emotions as well as how many emotions we have, I never really gave that a thought. Even thought its kind of creepy that the people don't know their being watched, I like that the answers and results are true. I also like how it tries to teach people that we are all connected and live under one earth, no matter how diverse we are, we all share common emotions, life events and more.
