Social Deviance
My group (which consisted of Jesse, Sam, Dan and me) chose to do our social deviance video on what would happen if we fell asleep at the mall. We brought an inflatable matress and a blanket and put it in the middle of Fashion Valley mall, while secretly recording people. A link to the video can be found at Sam's blog. http://sgraye.blogspot.com/2009/10/man-and-bed-sociology-experiment.html
In Defense of Food
Why do people choose to eat products that are unhealthy for them?
People choose to eat unhealthy food for two main reasons. One of them is taste, unhealthy food generally tastes good. The second reason is availability and price. Unhealthy food is almost always available at cheap prices and combined with the fact that it tastes good, many people choose to eat it.
What roles/responsibilities does the gov't have in framing your choice?
I belive that the government should be responsible for educating us on our choices in farming, what types of food to eat, etc. They should not control what food we can eat, but give us the knowledge to make those choices for ourselves. It should be our choice weather to eat genetically modified food, yet the government has to educate us about the advantages and disadvantages of eating the crop.
