prom assembly

Today's prom assembly was a pretty good picture of sociology. A lot of norms were to be followed in order for it to run smoothly and it ended up going well. All the students had to realize when it was time to be quiet in order to give the speakers a chance to be heard. Along with the speakers, students had to cooperate when it came to filling out the ballots for prom court. In order to signify that we were done filling out our selections, we had to raise our ballets in the air for them to be collected. Being upperclassman, we all know our limits and what is expected of our behavior at assemblies. Cooperation was essential as a group and surprisingly it happened. During the guest speaker, everyone quieted down to show respect and be attentive to what she was saying. Everyone did what was expected of them and was never rude and interrupted her. Students were respectul and abided by the norms that were apparent and we all allowed the assembly to run smoothly. Finally, at the end of the assembly, we knew the order we had to leave and we filed out by sections and no one went when they weren't suppossed to. The main part of sociology that I saw today was conformity and cooperation. Everyone acted respectfully and in an organized matter in order to accomplish a successful assembly.
