Sociology - December 2006

Like Meth so many good people get hooked but couldn't we come up with a way to cure that addiction or even replace it with something better? It's even overtaking the hold that coke has had on us for so long now. I used to think Marijuana could help to curve the intrest off the rest, but now I just don't know?

Slavery happened 200 years ago. Move on. The jews were executed in the 1940's and they dont say anything about it. I'm just so sick of white people being accused as racist, and everything we do is racist.

Enjoy the welfare minorities! Thats hard-working white peoples' money!

Those of you who have quit watching TV for more than 2 weeks, how has your life changed? I'm interested in the people who have completely severed the tie 24/7. How was your life when you used to watch TV and what has changed now? Do you feel any changes in your mood, thoughts, or behaviors?

Hi I am to speak at the University in February to a class of 200. This is about a life experience which I won't get in to here.
I am terrified of speaking in public, always have been. My whole body goes into a tense, shakey, uncomfortable existence that is so utterly noticeable. This talk is very important and I want to come across as strong and confident rather than nervous and unsure of myself.
Can anyone offer serious techniques that will help?

Thanks alot.

Heya. I finishing an abstract and as usually I simply cannot proofread my own stuff. I would be very grateful if somebody could have a look:

The common sense understanding suggests that deviance is an undesirable action aimed to disturb social order. We tend to connotate deviance with crime or negative abnormality. However, from sociological point of view deviance is a violation of all kinds of social rules. Therefore, deviance is defined as a non-confirmity to given cultural norms and rules. In this context a mentally retarded person and a cold blooded murderer both gain the same status of deviants. By questioning the sociological definition an important question of what actually constitutes a deviant action arises. The idea that actions may be cathegorized as deviant and non-deviant strikes as a simplification which we are going to examine. We will also focus on how deviance is recognised and labeled and in what ways this recogniction affects an individual.

Many men think women are favored in the work place now. We are feared. It seems some women abuse the harassment laws. The laws definately protect us, but this fear also hurts us.

I've lost job opportunities over this. I am an artist who works on construction sites sometimes. Some bosses don't trust their guys.

Any suggestions on how to make changes?

I've been reviewing my DVDs of 21 Jump Street again (true Depp fan), and I note that over and over the kids that cause the most trouble are really very smart. And from what I understand from teachers and cops, this is the case: some of these really bad kids are really very smart. What do you suppose makes them act so bad when they are capable of so much more?

Lets say your large tribe has a religion that served u well 4 a thousand years, through the coming and going of an empire and small wars and such, and assume your religion has some pretty tight social specifics. Everyone in your tribe moves along pretty much in the same direction, because part of the religion deals with how to goverern yourselves.
There other groups on your planet who have several different religions, but all these are being pretty much taken over and modified by an economic practice which from all outter appearances causes people to act in a way your religion warns is extremely dangerous to peoples spiritual health. The economic system breaks up families and causes many young people to go unsupervised and in the end there is evidence of severe decadence.
Now suppose this group and their type of government are inserting their economic and governing system into your tribe and you are sure it is going to corrupt all you hold dear. How u gonna act?? I am not Muslim
