Sociology Mixed Tape

1. Chapter 2: Culture and Society
Drops of Jupiter-Train I think this song reminds me of globalization because
everything is accessible in this song. In the past the world was as unreachable to
people as the things in this song are now. In the song there are no limits on travel and
the universe seems smaller.
2. Chapter 3: Socialization, the Life Course, and Aging
Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd This song reminds me of aging because my dad
sometimes jokes that he wants it played at his funeral. I cannot imagine it being played
at a funeral, but I like the concept of freedom after death.
3. Chapter 4: Social Interaction and Everyday Life in the Age of the Internet
Love in the 21 Century-Neon Trees This song fits this concept perfectly. It is all
about how different things are when you are trying to date in the age of the internet.
4. Chapter 6: Conformity, Deviance, and Crime
A Well Respected Man-The Kinks This song reminds me the most of conformity.
It describes a perfect man, a well respected man, and this description is something that
people want to be. There is a certain kind of person that many strive to be,
accomplished and respected.
5. Chapter 7: Stratification, Class, and Inequality
Fortunate Son-Creedence Clearwater Revival The concept of this song has a lot
to do with class and inequality. It talks about how some people are born with fortune and
others are not.

6. Chapter 9: Gender Inequality

If I Were a Boy-Beyonce is about how a girl could act if she were a boy. There
are a lot of things in society that are acceptable for men, but not for women.
7. Chapter 10: Ethnicity and Race
Hurricane-Bob Dylan This song is all about a man who was charged for murder
that he did not commit. He was framed and people thought it was okay because he was
not white. The song talks a lot about how people of color were targeted and treated
unfairly.
8. Chapter 11: Families and Intimate Relationships
Father of Mine-Everclear talks about a father who left his family. It is not a really
happy view on families, but it is a kind of family that exists. The song is from the
perspective of a man who grew up in a single parent household.
9. Chapter 12: Education and Religion
Everlasting Arms-Vampire Weekend just reminds me of religion. The title is
something that is often said in association with God and religion. The song could be
interpreted as making several references to religion.
10. Chapter 13: Politics and Economic Life
The Hanging Tree-James Newton Howard is from the movie Catching Fire. This
song in the movie turns into a kind of battle cry for the rebellion. It is all about people
living under an oppressive government.
