Sociology

It's a new year and we have so much more to learn about.  As 2013 brings about some new and interesting journeys, we will embark upon them together as we learn about the second half of this class. 

Sociology, according to Dictionary.com it is

Pronounced....
so·ci·ol·o·gy (ss-l-j, -sh-)
n.
 
Defined:
1. The study of human social behavior, especially the study of the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society.
2. Analysis of a social institution or societal segment as a self-contained entity or in relation to society as a whole.
 
 
Based on the definition alone, you can only imagine what we will be doing.  You guessed it....people watching!  Who doesn't love to watch people?  Well, sometimes........ I realize that there are times when it is a little disturbing.  It just depends upon your definition of normal.  Oh wait, that was last semester.
 
Anyway, we are going to watch others, learn about ourselves, define social deviance and establish some rules for our little society called Sociology Class otherwise called, Group Norms. 
 
Group Norms for Sociology Class
1. Absolutely no making fun of people. (My contribution to the group norms)
 
 
Please comment and add to our list.  What would you like to see as part of our socioety?
