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.

Poverty in Canada

I was very shocked by hearing that poverty in Canada is increasing. It makes me think how and why this is happening. It also makes me feel thank ful of what I have. But it makes me think if I can do anything to help prevent this to increase even more.

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?
