This week in class, we got assigned a project. We have to keep track of the amount of money we spend everyday. Today so far, I personally have not spent any money. Although, Ms. Brownstone told us to be aware of the things we use because everything costs money. I am being mindful of this. For example, when I straightened my hair this morning, I realized that I actually spent my own money on my hair straightener. Also, using water even costs money, such as showering or even going to the bathroom. I didn't even realize this until it was actually said out loud.
     A couple of people in my class and I were talking about how everyone in the world bases their life off of how much money one has. How much money you have determines what class you are in and how you spend your life. We talked about how sociology is th emost relevant class to life that you can take. In another project that we are doing, we have to make a situation of a middle class family. We learned how to manage money and to most of the world, that is the most important factor in life. These projects made me more mindful of how people spend money and how much they spend based on how much they have and how they live.
