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.

*Stark takes a peanut butter cup and nibbles at it experimentally. Then he nods to Grissom and takes his seat.*

*Stark continues eating around the edges of the peanut butter cup until there isn't any candy left, and then turns his attention to the assignment due today. He's written out his response and has it on his desk. He's written about Romeo as well.*

Foolish. Or misguided. Maybe both. She wasn't even really dead. It's not hard, knowing if they're dead or not. Dying for someone already dead achieves nothing. Nothing at all. Then you are both dead. Maybe your spirits are together, but you can't be sure. If you were meant to be together, you will be later, no reason to die now if you don't have to. Much better to live, and to remember. I do understand the impulse though.
