Can you give some specific examples of institutional discrimination? How often do you think this type of discrimination happens? Is it common?

Have you ever felt different, like a social "other"? A social theorist named Georg Simmel once said: "The stranger is close to us insofar as we feel between him and ourselves similarities of nationality or social position, of occupation or of general human nature. He is far from us insofar as these similarities extend beyond him and us, and connect us only because they connect a great many people."

What Simmel is describing is that being a stranger is actually a form of a social relationship. A stranger helps to connect a group of people who see the stranger as not fitting into their group, while also reminding the stranger that they stand outside of the group.

For this extra credit assignment, find or create an image of being a social other with which you identify. Upload the image as an image file (.jpg, .png, .giff). If you create an image through drawing or some other format that is not easily an image, then take a picture of it. Or you may find an image existing on the Internet. To receive the full points for this assignment, the visual must obviously represent social "othering," by displaying a person or persons who are perhaps viewed to be "strangers" in the Simmelian sense described here.

The U.S. has stringent restrictions on toxic substance disposal compared to many poor countries that have no regulations regarding such matters. Firms can move operations to such countries, not spend millions on expensive pollution controls required in the U.S. and so produce the product for less. Should we effectively extend our pollution control laws to other countries by not allowing the import of products made in countries or at plants that do not meet American pollution standards? Explain, identifying the values upon which you base your conclusions.

Ted Bundy was a serial killer that was active from 1974-1978. He confessed to approximately 30 murders although the actual toll is unknown. Bundy targeted woman and was involved in kidnapping, rape, murder and necrophilia. He completed law school, worked on political campaigns, and outwardly appeared to many to be “normal”. When we thinking about profiling, can we see the signs for a future serial killer?   This week, we’ll explore the best ways to react to serial killers. Address the following prompts:


•   What is criminal profiling? How was it used in the Bundy case?
•   Discuss a few problems with profiling serial killers. Why are they hard to identify?
•   We see that they are many crimes that go unsolved (some suspected to be the work of serial killers). What challenges might investigators face in finding who committed a crime?
•   What are some treatment options for serial killers? In your opinion, do they work? (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12613432)

Compare the heroic values of Achilles with those of Aeneas. (You are not in a position to write this paper until after you have done the lesson on the Aeneid.) Guidelines 1. Values is the key word here. How do Achilles and Aeneas view life and what gives their lives meaning? We are not interested in hearing that both Achilles and Aeneas have divine parents. We are interested in the heroic codes of each of the cultures in their respective times. Societys ideas of a hero change as new influences, new perceptions, and even new technologies develop. 2. This topic is a comparison and requires you to use specific references to actions of each of the heroes to illustrate your points. 3. Reread the section on the Homeric hero in the Iliad lesson in order to better understand Achilles in the warrior code context. (Humanities )
