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.

Surprising Discoveries to Thought-Provoking Questions

In my opinion, this exercise was a fantastic way to brainstorm and consider our thoughts from a variety of different perspectives. It was quite surprising that all of the answers were false, particularily the question "do opposites attract?" because I never really thought about it in detail, but life pathways actually tend to draw people together based on common ground.

    That's right, Lauren. This is a subject covered in all three disciplines, but it appears we are mostly attracted to people who share common interests, a common outlook and a similar socio-economic background. Practically, we also tend to hang out with people from similar social circles, which may also be a factor.
