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."

Sawyer chooses 'Tricks of Death' (http://death.monstrous.com/tricks_of_death.htm), "These show that everyman is tempted by death, whether they be rich or poor, good looking or ugly; it doesn't matter who you are, death is always there to hold your hand and guide you to kill yourself." he takes a deep breath, "One that really..stunned me was the 'Younger are concerned' the picture of the baby being led away by a skeleton..It shows that no one is safe from death..We should all be afraid of it."
