Quotes that Make you think

"The purpose of sociology [psychology or anthropology - really, any social science] is to enable the individual to see the everyday - the ordinary and mundane details of life - in a new way; to challenge, as it were, the perceived notions we hold of the world and the institutions and peoples that inhabit it."

- Peter Berger, Sociologist


Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it. - Anon.

Chad Kroger-Drunk Drving

In 2008, in British Columbia Chad Kroger was sentenced a year of driving prohibition and was fined $690 for drunk driving. His blood alcohol level had been found to be twice the legal limit and was speeding in his Lamborgini. When the police officer pulled him over the officer had asked for his driving lisciense but instead Kroger handed him his VISA card.

Do you think his punishment was fair compared to non-celebrities?

    This is a good question, Sonia. Do we treat celebrities differently? And, if so, why? What is it about their status, the aura that seems to surround them, that means we treat them differently? Or, would this have been a similar punishment for a so-called "civilian" or a person without celebrity status?
