We began this class with an activity to help define the term sociology.
As previously discussed, Sociology is the scientific study of group behavior. Now that most of us have spend two weeks practicing social distancing, make some generalizations about some group behaviors that you have seen while quarantined. This could come from personal experience or anything that you have seen in the news. What kind of group behaviors have been exhibited by your fellow Americans? Why are people acting the way that they are? What do you think they are thinking? Feeling? Is there behavior deviant? Are their life chances being determined by their social class in this pandemic? How important is social interaction? What impact is social distancing or even social isolation having on people's brains?
You are not required to cite sources for this blog entry unless you reference something from the news.
Don't forget this is still due on Friday and the comments are due on Monday. Same time as usual.
