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.

"Who's going to drop it?" Bel said, still grinning madly.

"If no-one else is going to get this started, I'm always happy to." She's sporting a mischevious grin, she obviously has absolutely no problem with the destruction of twinkies.

"By all means, ladies first," Bel said, handing a twinkie to Mac.

Mac takes the twinkie between two fingers cause ew, so not vegan making her way to hold her arm outstretched over the ledge. "Here we go." Taking a surrupticious glance over the edge, she releases the twinkie taking a quick step backwards, out of the eyeline of any potential victims below.

Piper snickered when she heard Sydney shouting and glanced at Mac. "Good job."

Mac laughs, "Wow, I didn't realise my aim was quite that good."

"Anyone else up for some target practise?"

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FOUR

[absolutesnark]

Piper grinned, still feeling mischievous. "Sure. There's even another possible victim. Shall we?"

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FOUR

"I think, this time you can do the honours." Mac chuckles gesturing jokingly at the remaining twinkies.

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FOUR

Piper nodded enthusiastically, grabbing a twinkie. "This should be interesting."
