Sociology 12/5

Criminology

Lecture on Hypnotically Refreshed Testimony

Discussion: Should hypnosis, and similar techniques, be used in the criminal justice system? Why or why not?

I hope all of you have found someone to interview for your project. If you are still having trouble locating someone, I may be able to arrange something for you. Please come to me after class with questions or concerns.

Death and Dying

Lecture on Euthanasia

Discussion: Considering the ramifications personally as well as socially, do you believe people have the "right to die"? Should people be able to choose when to end their lives absolutely, should there be laws that allow only physician-assisted suicides and how should they be written if so, or should no one be able to make that choice for themselves?

And for your information, you will be having a final exam. Please begin reviewing your course materials. A study guide will be made available at a later date.

Grissom scowls before smirking. "Funny, you don't look like my mother ~~The Lovely Bea Arthur~~."

Maia laughed and sat down raising an eyebrow "No, but I am as old as your mother so stay healthy for goodness sake." Maia sat back smiling "So you haven't said, how are you feeling?"

Grissom chuckles with her, as he ponders the wisdom of having a friend that he can't bullshit for a moment.

"I've been better," he admits. "It's proven to be... difficult."

Maia reached out and patted Grissom's hand after a moment of hestitation. "It will be over soon." She leaned down and got an apple out of her bag "Healthy snack?" She held it out for Grissom if he wanted it.

"Yeah," he mutters. "I suppose it will, one way or another."

He takes the apple, but places it on the desk, next to his mostly untouched noodles. "Thanks."

Maia tilted her head a slight frown on her lips "Are you ok?" Her voice was full of concern. "Do you need anything, shall I get Sara?" Her voice tightened on the name but she pushed it aside with her concern for Grissom.

He comes off a bit gruff, but it's out of his own personal frustration, and not because he's annoyed with her.

"Maia, no. I'm fully capable of taking care of myself."

Maia jumps a little at Grissom's tone but she nods. "I know you are." Her voice was very quiet "But sometimes, its nice to let people who care about you help you. Its not about taking care of you or your ability to take care of yourself, its about letting people help because..." Maia hesitated "because thats what people do for their friends." She finished staring down at her hands now.

Grissom is silent for a moment, and then looks up.

"I apologize. That was uncalled for. I didn't mean to snap at you, I'm just not having the best day. Thank you for your concern, I appreciate it."

Maia rose slowly and nodded. "It's ok, no need to apologize." She frowned and then laid her hand on Grissom's shoulder "It's going to get better." She looked into his eyes for a moment and then nodded giving his shoulder a squeeze. "We should go have coffee sometime." She said still watching him.

He sighs. "How about a glass of wine? Easier on the digestion," he says with a tentative smile.

"I am sorry."

Maia's smile brightened "Wine would be wonderful. Just say when and we'll do that." Maia picked up her bag and smiled again. "I know you are, its ok."

"I'll give you a call this evening, once I can take care of things here."

He tossed the ramen out and picked up the apple. "I'll see you later."

Maia smiled as he took the apple. "Alright I'll talk to you later." She walked out of the room wondering what in the world to get Grissom for Christmas
