Take some time to consider all of the topics you've read about and written about in this class. ...

What surprised you most? What upset you most? What do you want to explore further? What would you want to change about society and why?

Assignment 2 – one page single spaced

Ok, here's a fun sociological experiment for extra credit.... if you are brave enough!

This is about purposefully violating a societal norm!

Consider any number of usually unspoken societal norms we abide by on a daily basis... for example: a stranger says "Hi, how's it going?" We stand silently with others in an elevator; we stand dutifully in line at the bank or grocery store; we don't talk to ourselves out loud in public.. etc. There are many more... think about it.

So... your task is to violate one of these norms (you choose) and report on the experience and result! ..... For example... When that stranger says "Hi, how's it going" as you pass each other, stop and proceed to tell him something very personal and see what happens! Or... violate someone's personal space in line!

Report on the experience and results in a one page single spaced written response.

Have fun!!
