Soc 201 and 310: Criminology and Death & Dying (10/31)

Grissom is in a shockingly jovial mood. He's even rocking a costume and has candy (without bugs) for his students. Must have some good Halloween childhood memories buried somewhere.

Criminology

Here is the study guide for your midterm exam. [it will be an 'essay question', but feel free to study/stress]

To review, in class today I would like you to discuss one thing you have learned in this class so far, and how it either surprised you, or changed your mind in regards to a certain topic. If that is not the case in any aspect, why not?


Death and Dying

Discussion: Your homework was to Choose a death by suicide from Shakespeare's work, and share a short reaction to it. Please do so.

Your midterm exam will be on Wednesday! It will be an in-class essay, in a similar vein to the homework you are turning in. Using what you have learned in class, and moving on to our accidental death chapter, please analyze A Darwin Award Winner or Honourable Mention. You may bring in notes on one 3x5 index card.

John enters class.

"That's a great costume, sir. The helmet is especially awesome." John clears his throat a few times before starting on the assignment. "I think the biggest thing I learned is how fine a line is woven between religion and government. In elementary school, we learned about the separation of church and state and I just figured they were far enough away from each other to never really clash. I was wrong. After that assignment, I see how easy it could be for government to become involved in religion and vice versa. I see how fine a line is walked each day and how hard it is to actually keep them both separate."

John takes the candy and smiles. "Thank you, sir!"
