Criminology

Grissom hands each student a munchie of their choosing before class, and asks them all to sit down. Yeah, he thinks he's pretty funny.

He then gives a lecture outlining the argument for legalizing marijuana and against.

Discussion: Do you believe marijuana should be legalized? If so, to what degree? Why or why not?



Death and Dying

Grissom passes out the study guide for the exam that you don't really need, which will be Monday, and takes a seat.

There is a display up around the class, highlighting various depictions of death in art.

"I'd like you all to choose one that interests you, and discuss why, either with myself or with a classmate. When you have completed your discussion, you are dismissed. See you on Wednesday."

Harry picks Baldung Grien's death and the maiden" (http://death.monstrous.com/death_and_the_maiden_4.htm), and thinks mister Badung Grien is somewhat obsessed with girls and skeletons. Also he notices that the painting is mirrored, usually the death is on the right. The painting is also known as 'the three ages of women', depicting youth, middle aged and an elder women and the death as an exemple of vanitas and is a medieval way of warning that everything will die and dissapear in the end.

"It's really disturbing, isn't it?" Allie says, walking up to the same painting.
