Harper turns ‘sociology’ into dirty word after passing anti-terrorism bill

Harper turns ‘sociology’ into dirty word after passing anti-terrorism bill:

maraglen:

This is a tricky question to consider: Just how soon should we jump into action ahead of a terror plot? Should we be ready to move against a suspect before we hold irrefutable proof that a plot even exists? Should … Continue reading →

Person: How many sociologists does it take to change a light bulb?
Sociologist: One. Unless you need a ladder and then maybe two people which, according to Simmel, would be a dyad.
Person:
Person:
Sociologist: I wonder how come that joke is so prevalent and continues to thrive in our society? What about its basic symbolism do we recognize? Is it the token symbol of technology that we embrace as society has become more and more divided by labour?
Person:

Person:
Sociologist: Or perhaps it is some kind of jab at labour unions. Maybe the origin is from management versus union workers because unionized workers would be most likely the ones to change a light bulb and this is really a conflict perspective.
Person: (walking away)
Sociologist: (chasing after the person). This wouldn't even translate into places without the basic technology of electricity. Sapir-Whorf! Sapir-Whorf!
Person: (running)
Sociologist: Wait! Stop! Why are you running? Don't you want me to change the light bulb?

Q: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around--
Marx: Bulldozers. Bourgeoisie bulldozing forests to make a profit.
Durkheim: Maybe the tree felt some anomie and committed suicide.
Foucault: I may have seen it fall.
Weber: There's going to be paperwork about this.
Mead: Am I the tree and everyone else is the forest? How does the forest see me? How do I see the forest?
Cooley: ^^ Ditto.
Mills: You can't look at the tree without looking at its interaction with the forest. I wrote a whole book about it.
