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.

My Opinion

I was surprised to find out that the violent crime is decreasing in Canada. With all these new problems in the world, and how the media acts - changing the attitudes of many - I would've expected that the crime would go up. Now thatv i think about it, the news does not seem to focus on crime in Canada very much - probably because there is not a lot to report. They focus more on international crime or issues.

    What's interesting,Kaveri,is that often because the media puts such an emphasis on reported particular kinds of crimes, this tends to distort our view of how many of them take place. Statistics Canada is a great resource for crime statistics.
