Sociology - July 2006

People are so paranoid and cry "RACIST" any chance they get. It's like red scare McCarthyism of the 50's or the Salem Witch Trials. People have forgotten what "racist" really means. Racism is hatred for a race or the belief that a race is genetically inferior. But the majority of accusations of racism these days do not fit that definition at all. And a person of any color can be racist.

Why are these Avatar's racially limited?
I'm a quarter black and white and this stupid avatar doesn't look anything like me because there's no hairstyles to chose.

yes, obviously, it would take longer to get from new york to miami.

but what else would be different? how would it affect how we work, play, relate to each other as individuals (family/friends) and as a society?

I’m doing research to understand if there are needs for employment services that help convicted felons who are non-violent seek employment. If you think there is a need for such a service, please respond. Just keep in mind that there are felons that have never spent time in jail and are convicted of non-violent and victimless crimes i.e., gambling and not paying taxes. Also, there are people in their 40’s that struggle because they where convicted while in their 20’s and in college.

And give me a better answer than the trite old corker "If you don't like it don't watch it"

I don't understand how anyone with morals and a brain could not be disgusted by this. At first I honestly thought these shows were just satirical jokes. This is the exact kind of ludricously mindless entertainment that novels in the past have warned about. I think it's contributing to the dumbing down of this country. Ok not the ONLY cause obviously, you don't have to point that out.

And they're not even ENTERTAINING! If I wanted to watch a bunch of degenerate airheads sit around and talk about what they want to wear, talk about boys, and brush their teeth I'd visit my local mall. At least Survivor had some entertainment value.

knowing they might be putting their kids at a disadvantage etc. I for one would not want people to start making judgments about my kids upon reading their names (on resumes, job applications, etc. etc..... yet many black people are so irresponsible as to name their kids after drinks, etc. and just in general make up crazy $hit... Why is that? Has anyone read Freakonomics by the way? It is interesting and sad.

As the civilizations evolved, today we look back and condemn slavery as the most horrific abuse of human rights, judging from today's human standards. But if we put ourselves back into the 17nth century, what could we have said? It's all because of African families' greed that they sold their family members for money?

I have what is for me (THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION) and the only person I emagine ever answering this would be a kind, retired, Judge of our Justice System. Seeking an individual fitting that condition to hopefully get they're UNIQUE view on a question concerning the life and happiness of a favorite person of mine. Thanks! You never know, I might find such a pen pal in here if I'm lucky!

I have a paper due, and I need to identify 5 social concepts, and then apply then to the movie.

I am looking for exact terminology, as in Ideology, deviance and pole strain.

Can anyone help me?

Yesterday, I was at an amusement park with my brother and this ride we wanted to go on opened late and when we found out it opened we were running over to it. My brother ran ahead of me and raced right past these kids and I went to go after him, and one of the kids was walking where I was going to walk to get around them and then got out of the way and I decided to just walk. Then one of them turns around, looks at me and says "hi". I didnt know him but I said hi back and one of his friends were laughing after he said it. Then when I got closer to the ride I just walked around them desperate to disappear and think about what just happened and I never saw him again. What was that about?
