From pervious sociology classes I have written essays on various contemporary issues within the United States. I would be very intrested in researching the use of diabolic sterioids within the sports indusdtry. This being simply only an idea. This topic could be useful in the sense to discourage younger athletes to not risk there own high paying carreers.
Another topic that I find intresting is the topic of adoption being interracial. The reason I think this would be an intresting topic is because it would allow me to research different raced orphan children. This would alow me tosee how different raced children would find forever homes versus moving continually through foster pograms.

Alan Anderson-Activity Five: Brainstorming for writing
When I think of the family in Britain today I dont think that much differently then the families today in the United States. When I brainstormed words came to my head like : close, loyal, happy, divorced, small, and large.
I believe that I thought of those ideas because they are somewhat consistent and occur within the united states. From what I have seen of Britain, which is not a whole lot, seemed similiar to that of the United States family. Which in culture can make us similar.

Alan Andersons activity one-writing your own linguistic history
My name is Alan Anderson and ever since I was an elementary school student, writing has been an activity that I did a lot and learned to enjoy somewhat after a while. The writing that I mainly composed as a child would be like science fair projects, along with various creative writing activities.
I never found writing to be a painful activity because it allowed the jumbled up thoughts in my head to be organized in a way other school subjects couldnt. Free writing though on the other hand has been difficult for me. I think this is because when I research somthing I take notes on the subject being researched, thus utilizing the notes into my draft.
Reading that I have done in the past mainly conists of novels assigned to me throughout gradeschool as well as highschool. Most of the books Iv'e read I found intresting and enjoyable. When I was in gradeschool I remember writing different styles of poetry and short stories. Although its been some time since iv'e written either in a diary, poem, a short story, or a formal letter I do utilize my e-mail and text message each day.
When I was growing up and would hang out with my friends my grammar changed from the playground to home. I would speak more loosely and care free with my friends vs. more consertaviely with my parents.
I never have spoken a different language. I think I had one small spanish class in high school but never considered myself able to speak the language.
Essay and assignment writing I believe most definately differs from other kinds of writing such as for work, or simply social networking. The reasons for this I think is because texting theres no audience, or professor grading the essay or whatever the assignment may be. Your grade also depends on how much time and effort you put in writing the assignment which would answer why your writing.
