Snow!!

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when the huge blizzard hit chicago.  It was around ten pm on Tuesday and it snowed like crazy and our driveway was just too filled with snow that my family decided to go outside and clean it up before it got any worst the next day and we would end up cleaning more.  We each got a shovel, but did not know where to start and we all just began at the same place....well it didnt go so well because we kept hitting each other and the rest was just getting worst.  This reminded me of the puzzle activity we did in class where if everyone did the same thing at the same time there came a point where nothing was actually getting done.  At that point we decided to split up the work so we can get the most snow off.  This seemed to work very good because we all pitched in equally and got the most work done at a good amount of time, until the snow filled it up again. It was worth giving it a try because the next day we got a good amount of snow off compared to our neighbors who hadnt shoveled until the snow stopped. This compares with the puzzle activity because we just got out there without knowing exactly what we were going to do but once we figured it out we got the job done quickly and good and with a lot of group effort.

  1. Now you connected it to the puzzle activity....which perspective of sociolgy could it be applied to as well?
