Sociology Courses | February 22, 2006
Soc. of Violence: 2nd Period
Grissom brings his class to the A/V lab next door, and sets them each up at a computer work station.
Each has a browser window open to a page with various "police videos".
"This content can be disturbing, so if you don't want to watch them, you are under no obligation to do so, and may return to the lab to sit quietly and do some reading. But I'd like your reactions to this kind of footageand feel free to handwave a video not on that site, you know the type, please."
Homework: "Next week we will have a guest speaker in class, who has a background in both law enforcement and security. I'd like you to prepare a few questions for this speaker, and you may include issues you are concerned about on the island. Any questions?"
Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period
"Today, we're going to talk about magic. At this point, a conversation on whether magic does, or does not, exist, would be rather silly," Grissom smiles in the direction of a few students in his class. "However, understanding how magic is generally perceived off the island could be helpful."
Generic Wiki Grissom Lecture
"Next Monday, I will be setting you up again in groups to work on a project in this field. Therefore, all I'd like you to share in class today is what you are interested in studying and pursuing further, by way of knowledge. Think in a sociological frame of reference. Magic and its involvement with religion and spirituality? How we treat those who believe in magic, or say they practice magic, or in our cases, without a doubt practice magic? Ethical and moral guidelines surrounding the subject? Historical significance? Inside the subculture of those who practice magic, or those who are exposed to it? Or any other topic that you wish."
"No homework tonight, have a good weekend."

Re: Paranormal : 2/22
When the sheet comes around he signs up to study the very thin line between magic and advanced science.
