This sociology class is not what I expected; it actually delves into so much more of what's going on in our society. This week, we're discussing the dating process, and the discussion board question dealt with criteria that we have for choosing a partner/mate. A few of us touched on the race and religion aspects, saying that while we would choose someone similar in faith to us, we wouldn't necessarily choose someone who was the same race/ethnicity as us. Another very inportant question that was asked with regard to the mating and selection process was: How much influence do your family and friends have over your choices? While we would like to say "none"--and particularly, as adult women--the truth is, to some degree, we still hold to some of what our loved ones say. At the same time, however, many of us have recognized that ultimately, we have to follow our hearts and our own minds in this regard in order to truly be happy.
In Finance this week, we learned about insurance and the different types of insurance. We also learned what the function of insurance is: to protect your assets and guard against liabilities of any sort. It also helps to preserve your level of wealth in the event of an unforeseen occurence. We also talked about HMOs and PPOs and what questions we should ask before considering either an HMO or a PPO (I have the former, unfortunately).
