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.

Cameron grins at the costume. "I didn't realise you liked flying, sir," he says with a smile.

"I think what I learned most is how delicate our system is. How difficult it is to balance bringing justice and not overstepping the power it brings you. That there is a real reason to why our system is so complex and that while it isn't perfect, it's probably the best we've got. Especially last week's class about obscenity make it clear how hard it is to make a law that is acceptable for a majority of the people."
