In class we talked about the theories Peter Berger. Peter Berger was known for the Society as a Human Product. He believes that everything that happens is because of humans. Every idea, society’s and cultures were created because on humans. He tried to explain this through four components. Those four components were Social construction of Reality, Externalization, Habitualization, and Institutionalization. Social construction of Reality is explained to be that we create our own reality. We decide how we want to live and how the outcomes of our lives will be. Externalization is when you interact with other individuals. Humans create their own social interactions with other people. They choose how to speak and act. Habitualization is pretty much a longer word for habits. Everyone has their own habits in one way or another. When you are born you slowly become more independent and begin to grow your own habits. Having a habit about something doesn’t mean that it is always right. We just feel as if they are because we are used to doing it. Institutionalization can be explained about being a part of something and committing to something. For example you can be a part of social club which you can be institution into that pacific thing. This seems to be legit in my eyes. I believe that everyone has the chance to improve themselves. I also believe that everyone has a filter to make them better. What you do in your life if your choice and yes there will be some bumps in the road but you need to stand up tall and appreciate what you have in life. And if there is something you do not like about it you have the power to change it. Society should not choice how you act and treat people. It’s your life and your decisions being made.

I thought it would be interesting to posted quotes about how you can be yourself no matter what.
