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.

Broots grabbed Twinkie number three. "Last one?"

"Let's see if we can make a real fireball this time," Lana says and adds even more lighter fluid.

"Fireball, not 'set the lab on fire', kay?" But Broots made no move to stop her. "Me or you?"

"Do you have any matches? We could do it together," Lana suggests.

"On three? One ... two...three!"

They both tossed their matches in at the same time causing a substantial fireball as the twinkie went up in a blaze of glory.

Broots let out a whoop and clapped. "Conclusion: more lighter fluid=bigger boom."

Lana giggled. "Who knew setting things on fire could be so much fun! But I think maybe we've tortured our last Twinkie for the day. Oh! And we should check on our control!"

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FIVE

Broots lifted the tissue off of the control Twinkie. "Due to not being set on fire, the control Twinkie still resembles a Twinkie."

"And due to being covered up so that it could not see the carnage (and since Twinkies hopefully have neither ears nor telepathic abilties), it appears to be non-traumatized by the demise of it's fellows."

"Therefor, instead of looking for a Twinkie shrink, we can eat it! Split in half?" Broots flashed Lana a rather goofy smile.

"Absolutely!" Lana takes off the wrapper, splits the poor control Twinkie carefully in half and ceremonially hands one of the halves to Broots."

Broots toasted Lana with his half of the cream-filling. "To an experiment well done!"

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FIVE

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Indeed!" She clinked (or smushed?) their Twinkies together.

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FIVE

[identity profile] dorky-broots.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
With another toast at Lana, Broots shoved the Twinkie into his mouth. "Now this was a class."

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FIVE

Lana laughed. "And you were a great partner!"

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FIVE

"Ditto!" Broots began to stuff things into his bag and swung J.C. over his shoulder. "We got everything?"

Re: PARANORMAL: GROUP FIVE

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-17 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Yep. See you next class!" Lana grabbed her stuff, waved to Broots, and headed out to US History.
