For this blog we were supposed to write about the folkway that we did. I had a really hard time coming up with something that wouldn't me in trouble. I finally settled on this. During the school day, I would randomly pop into my old teachers classrooms while they were teaching and I used the Kanye West speech that he gave at the Music Awards, "Hold on, I'm going to let you finish...." I decided to see the reaction I got from teachers and students and to my surprise they varied. Some teachers said laughed and some got upset. I didn't get in trouble at all, but I also did make a fool out of myself. I really enjoyed seeing how the people got upset from an interruption. The funniest thing that happened though, was the seeing all the people that got it versus the people who were completely baffled as to what I was talking about.

I felt awkward during this observation. Looking back I don't know why I was but I think it was the bursting into a classroom part that got me. However, each time I did it I felt more comfortable. I think that this is the perfect example of why people are so afraid to break norms. People are so conservative in their ideas of following the normal way of life that they are prone to shock when something else happens.
