Snow Days
Its insane the amount of snow we received over the past couple days. By examining the affect of the snow on our society we can see it created a panic. Our Social Constuction is different when there is an average amount of snow compared to the amount we received this week. Normally we tend to ignore the weather and go on about our day even with the extra risk because people feel they are under so much stress to preform and take the risk and go to work or do whatever is on the schedule . But this time there was so much snow that the choice to stay home and out of harms way was forced upon them. My father is his own boss and hasn't missed a day of work in about 7 years. By not being able to make it to work it put him a day behind and in doing so it affected his clients lives too.

Nowadays, our lives can get pretty hectic and stressful and for many of us missing a day of work or school is just not an option. With the snow that we got, it definitely created panic and gave us a good look at our society and how it was drastically affected because of the blizzard
ReplyDeleteI found it quite interesting on the day we got back from our snow day about something that Mr. Sal had mentioned. He said that people no longer adjust their plans for their weather, when it should be clearly a factor. I think with advanced technology, it is sometimes an important reminder that humans are not above nature and its natural disasters it brings. Humans should always factor the weather into their schedule.
