Introduction

My name is Trevor Medley. I'm a Senior and studying Exercise Science at the University of Idaho. After graduation, I hope to use the knowledge I've gained throughout college to find a career where I can work hands-on. The last thing I want is to have a 9:00 to 5:00 job sitting behind a desk all day every day. I grew up in a small town about two and a half hours south of Moscow - Riggins, Idaho. I've always enjoyed the small town atmosphere and Moscow has that small town feel. I am a very independent and competitive person. I like being outdoors and doing anything active.

The reason I chose to enroll in Introduction to Sociology is because I wanted to broaden my knowledge about more subjects outside of my major and a friend recommended this course. I'm also interested in learning why and how people rationalize the decisions they make from day-to-day. The two topics I've chose for my blog are Risky Shift from Chapter 6 and Teacher Expectancy Effect from Chapter 14. For an emerging issue in society today, I've chosen to look at the changes happening in our country in the past 3-5 years and what it might look like in the future. I hope you enjoy visiting my blog and find some useful and interesting information.
 

I think this image is a great reflection of how studying Sociology gives us a greater understanding of the world as a whole.
