7. Society judges what is good and what is bad. If it is good then they will approve of it and even use it when needed. If they don't approve then they will reject it and use this as an example of what not to do or what not to use.

8. There are so many standards it is hard to keep up with. There are many new standards that have been added from the past. I know for example that you can't put your elbows on the table but before it didn't about you etiquette and how you eat or presented yourself.

I agree to both of your statements because for the first one,society wit approve of it if it is good. If it is bad then society will reject that and try to revolve it around appropriate things. For your second comment, I think that only works in chinese cultures because when I go to outside resturants, I see people doing it all the time.

I agree to both of your answers because the society are the one that judges what is good or bad. The society also has the right to approve or disapprove things the leader wants to do. Today people in our society do make choices for our state. And that choice will decide what will happen in the future.

I believe that your statement is extremely vague and does not contain enough information to express your answer to this lovely prompt that Ms. Sutton had laid out for us. I hope that you will soon see my reply, and put more work into this assignment.
Love, Alvin

I agree with both your statements because society will approve whatever is needed in order to insure the environment/society's safety and its needs. The standards also change depending on how the era is shaped.

I agree with your statement on the judgment of society, because I think they would use good ideas to their advantage. I also agree with your standing on standards. There are a lot, and can be annoying at times to keep up with them.

1. Society determines what is or is not appropriate by seeing how it affects the population. The state of the economy, people, and environment are factors in the determination. If the effects are good and encourage the prosperity of the listed factors, then the cause is deemed appropriate. On the other hand, if the outcomes are the opposite, the cause is deemed inappropriate.

2. I feel that today’s societal standards differ greatly from those of the past. Our society today is a lot more accepting and less rigid. We are more open to differences and embrace diversity. There is less discrimination relating the ethnicity and social standing. However, we still retain certain standards regarding laws and rights.

Jacelyn K, Per 5

I agree with your point of view exactly. Society has come to change a lot as time passes by. But the way it determines our actions stays the same. Society works for the better of the people, so what we deem right will become the norm.

Lika M. period 5

2/27/2013 04:53:54 am

I agree with both of your statements because the effects of the decisions are shown through the satisfaction and beliefs of the citizens. It is also true that societal standards are very different today than it was in the past.

Tara D., Per.5

2/27/2013 10:50:15 am

I have to say your opinions on both questions are very interesting. I never thought of it that way. I have to agree with you how society determines what is appropriate or not by seeing how it affects others. But some do get influenced by their parents, friends, religion and or the media.

Eric Lo, Period 5

3/4/2013 04:49:15 am

I agree with both of your statements. Society judges based on what it presented to them or what is shown in the society. They determine what is good and they reject what is detrimental to the community. Society has changed and evolved into three main classes. The first class, the middle class, and the third class. These are what people judge you by and that they see when they look at you.

Alex D.

3/4/2013 11:56:46 am

I agree to your responses to both of those questions. A society decides what is good and what is bad by determining the pros, the cons, the possibilities, the best and worst case scenario. And society has changed into many classes, unlike the past where there was only one class and everybody was equal.

Dawson W., Period 5

3/13/2013 04:26:45 pm

I can agree with that cause if the economy today all the problems with our society that affects everyone. I agree that its not appropriate cause there are so many affects that happens between society and for it to decide if thins we do are appropriate. I agree cause back then standards were lower and that here was a lot of changes throughout the years that have past.

Jacelyn K, Per 5

7. Society judges what's appropriate and what's not by majority opinion and the effects on the entire population. If effect is positive and the people benefit from an action, society will automatically judge it as appropriate. If people are displeased, society will judge the opposite, deeming it inappropriate.

8. Standards nowaday have become lax and less stiff. Present day embraces change and differences more than the past, allowing people to speak their thoughts and act in ways they see fit. Though things are slowly changing, there still are morals and principles that have stood through the test of time.

justin tang per 5

2/27/2013 04:56:05 am

Society decides what is appropriate or not by the way that we react to that. If we make it look like we don't like that, we will probably think of it as a negative trait, being non appropriate.

Standards now are a lot more strict than standards before because people always strive to achieve more than the standard. People are always setting the bar higher to achieve making it harder and harder to actually reach the bar.

Cally M., Period 5

3/1/2013 01:57:07 pm

I agree that the public reaction helps determine what is appropriate or not. The way it affects the people is a good indication. Your statement on today's social standards is interesting and very true. I didn't think about that area of standards but it is very evident in society presently.

Aren Lim Period 5

3/3/2013 02:39:45 pm

I agree with your opinion on society's determination of appropriateness on reaction to the subject. I agree with your standing on the standards of today's society. New ones are being made by the second, and it is hard to keep up with them.

Lika M. period 5

2/27/2013 05:00:58 am

7. Society determines what is or what is not appropiate by their beliefs on certain subjects and the outcome of the decisions they made. Decisions that are made can seem good at first; however, as they are put into place and enacted, the decision can be determined as bad.
8. Today's societal standards are greatly different from the past's standards. The standards of today are more diverse and more accepted, while in the past, they were more strict.

Andrew L. Period 5

3/3/2013 03:44:13 pm

The statements presented argues a good point wherefore belief is generally depended on what society argues as a whole and its common acceptance rather than a singular individualistic belief since an individualistic belief may seem apprehensive towards whether it is good or bad. Additionally the second statement is quite more agreeable to which standards in the former half of the twentieth century were more reserved in comparison to the standards that appear in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Tara D., Per. 5

7. Society determines what is appropriate or not by how they were taught and raised by their parents or guardians. Religion also come in because usually different religions have rules to follow and what is a sin or not. Influence also determines it because its people usually get influenced by their friends and peers from school, work or the media.

8. I think today's societal standards are very different form the past's standards because we are more liberal than before . From technology to many different other things it causes the standards for our time now to be very different than before. Things and standards before were way simple compared to our time now.

Courtney T period 5

3/3/2013 01:51:03 pm

I agree that your parents or guardian teach you what is appropriate and what is not. Usually, your parents or guardian teach you from a young age.I agree that our standard is set more higher these days, back then it wasn't as hard to get to college than right now.

Dominic Garcia per.5

3/12/2013 01:04:06 pm

I agree with tara that religion and family matters and society determines a lot on what we can and can't do and wuth religion religion determines and can block a lot of rules as the law of the state and cops do.

James R., Period 5

3/13/2013 04:34:05 pm

There are many factors that contribute to change the societal standards. One of them is the technologies that we have today. Along with that, laws also contribute to a great portion to our society today. Laws such as the Civil Rights Act had greatly influenced the societal standards today. This movement has inspired people to be a lot more open and diverse with the people around them.

7) A society determines what is good or bad by voting. If it is a good thing the society will approve it but if it is bad then they will disapprove.
8) Today is more modern than the past because in the past the people are not the ones that make the decisions but only the senators do. Today everyone gets a chance to make the decisions for the country.

Aron I. Period 5

3/3/2013 01:36:18 am

I agree with what you said for your response for #8. It makes sense that in the past, the people in control would make all the standards without giving the people any say in the decisions made.

An H., Period 5

3/3/2013 07:47:01 am

Voting doesn't mean that all the people in the society decided what is appropriate and what is not. When the majority wins over, the minority part still couldn't agree on the majority's part of the decision, even if they won.

Alex D.

3/4/2013 11:58:51 am

I agree that most societies will end debates with votes from the common people or the basis of the society and they will decide the best choice for their society. Good or bad, the society chooses the road it will take. Yes, i also agree that todays standards are more modern and everyone gets achance to make decisions for the country.

An H., Period 5

2/28/2013 03:42:39 pm

7. Society decides on what is correct and what is wrong by people's judgement. The people in the society is the ones that decides what is wrong and what is correct; the people take in different views and from what they gather, they themselves think what matters to them is correct, and then they share their views with other people around them and try to get them to see things they do, until most people agree on the same view.

8. Past societal standards and today's societal standards are different as it changes overtime, but some standards remain relatively the same. For example, in the past, people are determined on what class they are in by their birth and how much money they have. Today, people's class are determined by how much money they make, but not by their birth.

Dinh T, Period 5

3/3/2013 07:51:57 am

I also believe that people in a society are the ones that judge what is right and wrong. People have different thoughts and beliefs, but the majority of the people that agrees with each other decides what is right and wrong.

Aron I. Period 5

3/1/2013 12:51:28 pm

7) A society decides what is appropriate and not appropriate by its opinion. For example, the opinion can be a vote or just a small group of elected people get to make that opinion.

8) Today’s standards are different from the past’s standards in that rules and laws are less imposing on us. The standards of the past were made to impose the will of the government.

Wei L. Period 5

3/6/2013 03:55:30 am

I agree with your standards on modern day. It shows how it has improved from a little freedom on the individuals to lost of freedom now. I think that the standards were learned from the past and people found ways to make it better.

Andy T. Period 5

3/13/2013 01:18:20 pm

I know that for a fact that laws were the main reason why the standards of society were adjusted. It is because of these laws that we as a society know right from wrong. Almost everything is determined by this system in which we worked together to form.

Alvin O. Per. 5

7) Society will determine whether something is appropriate or not by how society views the certain event or action. These views are heavily influenced and shaped by similar customs and beliefs that everyone in the society follows. Some of these, however, are viewed and agreed on universally and can be based on things such as basic human rights.
8) The way we viewed things has changed through how society itself would accept them. Becasue ,any things were viewed differently back then, a distinct line would be drawn between present and past society. Such as how gladiator fights were acceptable back in ancient Rome, such events now would be labeled as barbarism and uncivilized.

Benjamin L., Period 5

3/3/2013 01:32:38 pm

I agree that since many things have happen during the past. Good example showing back then gladiators fight were acceptable but now not anymore, but there is technology which can enjoy some fun in gladiator fight.

Jeffery W. Period 5

3/2/2013 02:25:26 pm

7. Society decides what is appropriate and inappropriate by actions and votes. If the affect is positive towards the society, then they will decide it is an appropriate action.
8. Today's standards for society is different from the past because of how we lived. Whatever helps the society live and possibly prosper is how the society is shaped.

Dinh T, Period 5

3/3/2013 07:13:27 am

7) Society determines what is and what is not appropriate by using morals, ethics, and laws. It can also be determined by the majority of the population’s beliefs. If the majority believes that what you are doing is unjust, then it will become inappropriate. It also depends on how it will affect others.

8) Today’s standard differs greatly from the past. It is more difficult to reach. To meet the standard, people have to go to school and take tests to see if they meet the requirements. The proper way to live and survive today shapes the standard. The standard differs depending on what the society is.

Benjamin L., Period 5

3/3/2013 01:25:19 pm

1.)It all depends of it is either good or bad. Good would be the appropriate while the bad would the inappropriate. Cause there some ways or things which may or may not be inapproriate. It is really tough to decide the approrpiate and the inappropriate, since it depends on the type of action do and the type of language.

2.) Our society is different from the past is that technology has been one of the most improvement we have ever had. We always have kids and people playing outside and walking, but with technology, kids and would home inside playing video games while adults uses cars. Our society now have advance materials then the past.

Courtney T per 5

3/3/2013 01:44:07 pm

7.Society determines what is and what us not appropriate by how you are raised at home.When you are young your parents would teach you from right or wrong.
8.The past life has lower standards generally; while now there are higher standards in society. In the past men were mainly the ones who were educated while women stayed at home taking care of the kids.Technology is another example of how the past and present life is different.

Aren Lim Period 5

3/3/2013 02:32:26 pm

7. Society determines whether something is appropriate or inappropriate by personal judgement and by one's own moral standard. Also, by influence by others in one's society.

8. I think that today's standards are lower than what they were from back then. I think that because people have heard many bizzare stories before. An example would be telling a joke. It is the most funny when it is heard for the first time.

Cergio Angel Period 5

3/9/2013 11:36:12 am

I agree with how you explained about how society levels out their things to be determined as appropiate or not appropiate. But also having an influence on another city is another important thing so that it helps another society decide on their things.

Andrew L. Period 5

3/3/2013 03:35:12 pm

7. Society is the general public and its opinions and what is generally accepted. Society in regards to geopolitical issues as well as social issues have shaped what society is now in its present state. Our society flourishes under the development of good influence and sinks in the influence of bad influence. Thus when great occurrences occur, then it is coined as appropriate and vice versa as well.

8. In our modern society, standards have drastically altered in the events of our daily lives. We see in our age a landmark shift in morals and values. We aren't able to keep with the jargon that is constantly created. The times have changed and no longer does the society retain a conservative view, rather the acceptance of change. These new changes have slowly lost along the way the values of manner, etiquette, and traditional conservative ways, thus, lower standards of where we stand today.

people judges what is good and what is bad. If it is good then they will approve of it and even use it when needed. If they don't accepted him then they will reject it and use this as an example of what not to do or what not to use.

There are many standards and it is hard to keep up with. There are many new standards that have been added from the past.

Alex D. Period 5

3/4/2013 11:54:48 am

1) Society can judge what is good and what is bad by debating which is more beneficial for the society. If it is good then the society approve of it and allow things to take its flow hopefully for the better. If the society doesn't approve then they believe it won't help the society in any way or is too risky for the sake of the society. Whatever the case, a society can judge what is good and what is bad, but they will never know what the outcome will be if they try it.

2) There are so many standards today that are different from the past standards. For example, i know that when you enter someone else's house for the first time it is good to present yourself nicely. However when mankind were cavemen it was just go in and introduce yourself and couldn't really dress nicely.

Wei L. Period 5

3/6/2013 03:52:45 am

7) Society decides whether something is appropriate or not by gaining feedback from the public. They check to see if the public has good or back opinions once they announce something. They use the comments of people to filter whether or no it is appropriate.

8)Today's standards of society has improved greatly from the past, but still uses similar ideas from the past. For example, people treat other nicely when they first meet in the past and it still happens today.

Zerlinda L. (Per.5)

3/13/2013 01:59:35 pm

I also think that society decides whether something is appropriate or not by gaining feedback from the public. The public basically influences everyone, including us as individuals. Other people give their opinions and thoughts on whether they think something is appropriate or not, so their statements influence us and makes us think twice.

Dawson Wu, Period 5

Society can determine whats right or wrong but most of the time its your own dessicion. On what you pick is right and wrong and what you decide to do with it. Society can determine what wrong or right by our action and our judement.

Today's society is a huge differences from back then cause we all are different from each other and society changed from what it was like. The different problems that society had back then and all the different problems society had back then. The way people think of society now and back then.

Cergio Angel Period 5

3/9/2013 11:21:35 am

Society can determine what is appropaite or not by getting all of the city's opinion, in voting or speeches. Also from when reciving letters from the people in the city who may want to show their opinions on what shouldhappeninstead. 8)social standards are very different in todays world than back then, several decades ago. Like with native americans and whites with their differences but were later solved out.

Robert Carrasco Per 5

7. Society decides whether something is appropriate or not. If it is then they will approve of it and even use it when needed. If they don't approve then they will reject it and use this as an example of what not to do or what not to use.

8)Today's standards of society has improved greatly from the past. The past life has lower standards generally. Now the standards are much higher.

Dominc Garcia per.5

3/12/2013 12:58:04 pm

1)Society is based on how we act and how we are we as people can't decide what is good and bad someome always says what is the best for us and what isnt for the best of us.
2) todays differ cause we mostly accept those in society and in the past everybody was told what they can and can't do in their conmuntitty or state

Andy T. Period 5

3/13/2013 01:13:53 pm

7. Society generally decides what is appropriate from what they have experienced or how others react when someone occurs. For example if a person is angry and one person notices, it will usually spread to all the other people around.

8. Today, we have become more disciplined than for say in the past, because of all the experiences that we have all gathered up as a society. For example, in the past we saw slavery as not an issue, until people started to take notice of how wrong it was.

Zerlinda Lee (Per.5)

3/13/2013 01:56:26 pm

7. Society determines what is and what is not appropriate by judgement. People judge everything, it's part of what we do as humans. We judge things like how people dress, how people talk, and how people act. To be appropriate is to be sophisticated and to act properly with manners to respect others.

8. Today's societal standards differ from past standards since people in the modern world are more open minded to other people's thoughts and opinions. Past standards were based on the noble and honorable men, since noble men were more knowledgeable than the peasants, such as the characters in Julius Caesar. Nowadays, people accept each other's opinions and we share our thoughts to the world without worrying about anyone criticizing it. People may disagree with what you think, but they accept the fact that you're sharing your mind to others.

James R., Period 5

3/13/2013 04:23:10 pm

7. Society determine what is appropriate and what is not appropriate from listening to the public's opinion. Once the public delivers speeches about certain issues, the people will decide on that by voting for or against it. Society can also determine what is appropriate and what is not from personal and religious beliefs. Personal beliefs and morals sets the ethical decisions a person will make to determine whether something is appropriate or not.

8.Changes of societal standards are often brought to the society from time to time. Societal standards are mostly changed when new laws are being established or when new ideas are being brought into the society. Today’s societal standards are less strict than those of before’s. Changes like the civil rights act has greatly influenced the societal standards today by listing that everyone has should be treated equally. This movement caused everyone in the society to be a lot more open and diverse with the people around us.
