Death and Dying

I hope you all got a chance to see the assigned film over the past few days.

Discussion Question: How do societies justify ignoring atrocities like genocide?

Homework: Read the chapter in your text on euthanasia, and start collecting your thoughts on the subject matter for discussion next week.

Soc of Deviance

I'd like to start today with everyone sharing their homework with the class. Please provide the URL of the website you found to contain deviant material and explain why you found it deviant.

Homework: I would like you to conduct one interview with someone outside of this class. You should ask them 5 questions derived from your subject matter for your term project. This will be 25% of that grade.

For example, Bel is studying a subgenre of pornography. He might ask one of the employees at the Fourth Sin, or on the other hand an asexual classmate, five questions on that subject matter. You may decide on the focus of your questions, as they will be included in your project.

Also, please read Chapter 8 in your text on Frank Tannenbaum's The Dramatization of Evil

"Okay, thanks," Angel said. He made a note to check CJ's office hours.
