Clothes encounter provides poigant life lesson for son

The child in this article was attracted to dump trucks and construction site and tools but he had another craving which was to be a princess with pink and purple clothes.At firsts he thought it was OK because his mother and father did not plowman the traditional roles in the family so it confused him slightly. He had a stay at home dad and his mother "brought home the bacon' in the family. Eventually he became socialized through his three year old friends when he thought to himself that all the other guys thought he was a girl if he wore the pink dress on Halloween. This article demonstrates how the boy knew is sex but was unsure about his gender. Anatomically he was a male but he acted as though he liked female stuff until he realized what was going on.

All of a sudden I thought of sociology when I was at the wedding. At the wedding their were many people invited; I would say close to 500 people. This wedding was a traditional Hindu wedding. At traditional wedding the groom is brought to the wedding in a procession. In the procession their is usually a horse or some other animal that is nicely groomed, strong, and decorated with nice garments to celebrate his wedding day. In this wedding the groom was brought to the wedding in 90,000 dollar Mercedes s550 that was brand new right of the lot decorated with flowers.

This is an example of culture clash because in rural India to celebrate a wedding the groom would usually be seated on a horse or elephant decorated with various garments. In America the bride and groom usually drive off in a car after the wedding. The culture mixes together when the groom is brought to the wedding in a very expensive car that is decorated with flowers.
