Document Summary
About the things/ actions in the examples. About our own opinions/ reactions/ values to what we saw. Sociologists argue: our opinions/ values often develop in specific contexts, we usually do not "make them up on the spot" (although we often react on the spot) The more mundane an activity is, the more we take it for granted, and the more we loose sight of the possibility that others" may not share our assumptions. The more we assume things to be the normal way of things, the harder it is to assume that others may not make the same assumption. My (my future client"s) sports & pa experience at the intersection of institutions and social determinants. Sports and pa are related to social and cultural context in which we live. Sport and pa provide stories and images used to explain and evaluate these contexts. Sports and pa provide a window into culture and society.
