 Posted: 01/08/04 - 12:21 Post subject: Need your help with sociology project (everyone!!)
I have to get 10 responses to the following list below, ranked from most serious to least serious. Since we have such a diverse group here, I thought I would try to enlist your help. You can post, or just PM your rankings to me. It would be such a HUGE help, and I'd be forever in your debt. If you could post your age as well, or general vicinity of age, I need that too.
TIA!
1. Alcholism
2. Assault
3. Behavior demonstrating mental illness
4. Embezzelment
5. Murder
6. Dependence on legally available drugs
7. Organized crime
8. Rape
9. Nonviolent protesting
10. Insider stock trading
11. Theft
12. Tax evasion

Some of those are kind of vague. Behavior demonstrating mental illness could be either mild depression or deranged psychotic. Pretty big gap there. Dependence on legally available drugs is the same way. A diabetic's dependence on insulin is much different than Rush's dependence on Oxycontin [sp?].
If you'd care to clarify, I'll be glad to answer.

Well, the project she gave me really doesn't go into detail. Think criminal or deviant behavior though, so not diabetic, but Rush. For the mental illness thing, I would go with anyone who commits a crime by reason of insanity or depression (for instance, the woman who murdered her children because she was experience PPD), or whosit who shot Reagan, and is now institutionalized. I see what you mean though, it's very generalized. She does ask for suggestions to improving the assignment, so I'll add that into the comments when I send it to her. I think for now, for the behavior thing, we'll go with worst case scenario. That help?
Thank you!

Sorry for the denseness, what is it you want us to do, Brie? Rank them according to what? What I've done in my life? What I think is interesting? What's the most "deviant?" What?
