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.

Rogue smiles at Grissom and takes a peanut butter cup. She hands in her assignment from last week:

Romeo's suicide was the overdramatic, childish action of a young man deep in lust. If he'd been a man enough to stick it out, the tragic deaths would never have happened. In fact, the majority of Shakespeare's suicidal characters shared these same flaws: impulsiveness mixed with selfishness. Suicide is the ultimate selfish act, and Romeo's is the epitome of that.
