Hello everyone, again my name is Dominic Kablack and I am a senior college student studying criminal justice. First, an interesting fact about myself is that I spent two years working in animal Hospital. While there a had a variety of jobs and responsibilities. The most frequent of my responsibilities was having to wash or clean the animals and their kennels. However on a few occasions I was able to assist on surgeries being performed in the hospital. I believe that that experience affected me and led me to have a desire to help individuals.

Since this blog is primarily focused on sociological perspectives and ideas, we must define what sociology is. To me, sociology is the study of society and people as a whole. Sociology studies social relationships, interactions and cultures. From this, we get the sociological perspective. This is a tool which sociologists use in order to study the world. This tool also looks at individual's behaviors and interactions and connects them to society as a whole. Sociology can also be applied to other fields, such as the criminal justice field. By using the sociological perspective and studying the effect environment and development has on individuals, we are able to pinpoint crime based sociology. This can lead to developing preventions of specific crimes in specific areas.

Many issues in our society are told to the public through popular media sources. With various amounts of popular media outlets, individuals can get information in a matter of seconds. Although each outlet gets the main point across, each has a varying way of how they describe the issue. While reviewing my peers' media outlets, I noticed a few things. First, I noticed that it is very easy to come across as biased in any outlet. Without knowing all the facts, one can simply base their opinion of the topic on rumors for false beliefs. One might also unintentionally provide facts about one side of the opinion and not the other. Secondly, I noticed that some media outlets discuss the topic as a whole while others talked about specific examples within that topic. For example, all of the articles discussing the unfair treatment of those with special needs gave specific examples of the main topic. I believe that this can reinforce the main ideas of an individual's topic and can give an
