In my Sociology 101 class, we post weekly responses to questions posed to us. Once the question was, "Using the structural functional approach, describe the educational system in the United States." Structural functional basically means that the way something is structured serves some function. One person put that the educational system is divided into three parts: elementary, junior high, and high school, just as the government is divided into three parts: judicial, executive and legislative. That was the whole gist of their response too. That it was divided into three parts, which is not only not the point of the question, but it also denies the existence of higher education.
A couple other students started to use the word "socialist" to mean someone who is very social. As in, "With all of your many friends and acquaintances, I can see that you are quite the socialist."
Why on earth do you have to take Sociology 101? Didn't you dispense with all that at UO? Or have those credits "expired" or something?
ReplyDeleteCollege is a big mystery to me.
They require you to take the 101 class if you've never had it before. There was a student that had a Ph.D. in Physics that went back to school and he was required to take Physics 101 again even though he was qualified to teach it. It's all about the money.
