Sociology Courses | January 16, 2006

Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period

Grissom hands everyone an article to read skim when they come in.

"So, are men truly more violent than women? The current population of the prison system, much of history, perhaps even biological factors, may lend you to agree. But the population of women in prisons is on the rise, and there are hundreds of scientists, philosophers, and politicians who would disagree.

Today, I just want to hear what you think, although support of your ideas is always encouraged, and feel free to engage your classmates."

Homework: Read Gender, Violence and the Social Order by Jayne Mooney for Wednesday. It's only 274 pages.




Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period

"Today, we will be studying The Scientific Method. For some of you, this is old news. For others, perhaps not. It is important for all of us to be on the same page when it comes to evaluating the paranormal, and although all of us have been introduced to new ideas and even sciences in Fandom, there must be some base for us to work from, and we will be using proper Earth scientific procedures for the most part."

Grissom lectures quickly, then hands each student a brown paper bag. Inside each is a box of Twinkies.

"You will be assigned partners and a lab station below. Please take your test materials to the proper work desk now, and remember, I want to see you form and test a hypothesis."

"Also, don't eat any twinkies you use in the experiments. I have extras, if you are seriously hungry. Please use all the proper equipment, and ask if you have any questions."

[All set now! Go ahead :) ]

Requests for Add/Drops still go in a different post. Thanks muchly.

Angela feels his eyes on her, glances back, and then looks away. This feels like September again, she thinks, remembering their first awkward conversations and non-conversation.

A moment later, Angela skids something across the floor, stopping it just short of Marty's foot. It's a piece of paper folded around a class ring.

The note says:

M-

I didn't feel right keeping this. You can have the scooter, too, if you want.

Are you okay?

I am so sorry. I don't know if I said that last night.

Marty pulled the note in with his foot and looked at the ring for a few moments.

He put the ring in his pocket and wrote back:

"I'm fine. Keep the scooter."

And after a brief hesitation he wrote:

"I'm sorry too." and then quickly erased what he just wrote.

He folded up the note and dropped it on her desk before he left at the end of class.

Angela reads the note, wondering what had been erased, and feels even more guilty about the whole damn thing.
