It was interesting to learn about the difference between micro and macro persepectives in regards to sociology. Whenever I drive to areas that I'm not familiar with, I'm always naturally interested and curious about the lifestyles there. Especially when they're areas that are far are a lot different from what I'm used to. At the same time, whenever I see actual people within those towns, it's interesting to see that they have their own seperate agendas, and that I most likely won't ever see them again. And I was also able to relate to the airplane example we had in regards to the macro theory because I remembered just a couple months ago while I was going to the Dominican Republic, it was interesting to see how my city connected with the neighboring areas from afar, and how even within the same country, our country had so many different towns and areas. Especially when we got to the DR and started to land, it was even more of an eye opener to see how it was even more different there. I was discouraged at first that there were so many parts to the DR that we wouldn't be able to help out, but I'm glad that I was able to at least experience the micro aspect of DR when I got to meet and work with the people who were a part of the mission base that we were working at. It helped me to become more sociologically mindful to live and serve with these people as I was opened up to the happiness they had in the seemingly small things, and that they didn't take the smallest things for granted, but that they all worked hard and really lived like a strong, happy community that cared about each other.
