1. Many sociologists argue that socialization is needed to make people human- that without socialization we would never gain the pro social skills needed to build society. Discuss how social changes like technology have impacted our socialization. How does that impact our "humanness"?
2. There has been a lot of debate about the value of the Internet over the last few years-
On the positive side it has been argued that the Internet provides rapid inexpensive exchange of information. That it enables people to meet, discover information on their own, and learn in ways that are revolutionary and new.
On the other hand, many have argued that the Internet is a big waste of time- there is too much information available on the Internet, which makes it impossible to determine the truth or actual value of that information- resulting in less educated and informed individuals. Online social networking has created isolation of individuals and diminished the strength of social ties and social institutions. Access to the Internet is still limited for some minority groups resulting in inequality, and that some of the information on the Internet is harmful.
However very little commentary or analysis looks at it from the standpoint of social groups- using the information from this week’s lecture (as well as your book and course modules) develop an argument about the Internet and group processes- is the Internet good for group organization or bad? What is social control like on the Internet? What are the consequences of the social control or lack or social control on the Internet for groups? For individuals? For society?
Note: make sure you are using class concepts for these answers. Do not get caught up in the idea of the internet to the point that you forget that the purpose is to discuss class concepts of group behavior. Group behavior theories and concepts were developed using face to face interactions. I want you to apply them to online interactions. Also note social networks in sociology is not the same as the common use of social networks online.
3. We have painted society as mostly compliant and seen studies that indicate that people comply- particularly with authority
However, there is plenty of evidence that people are regularly deviant
In studies 50 to 70 percent of students say they have cheated
Many people commonly cheat- on their taxes, on their partners and spouses, at games
So, is conformity an illusion?
Under what circumstances do you see people are more likely to comply- when are they less likely?
If deviance is so common why is it still not socially acceptable?
Real world application
Step 1 this week- go to the movies (seriously) or watch a movie at home. You can choose a movie if you would like but this week we are talking about socialization, groups, social control and deviance so choose something that you think will work well for that assignment. An ensemble film will b.

Step 1 this week- go to the movies (seriously) or watch a movie
at home. You can choose a movie if you would like but this
week we are talking about socialization, groups, social control
and deviance so choose something that you think will work well
for that assignment. An ensemble film will be better than one
with one main lead. If you are not sure what to watch a film that
is perfect for this assignment (and I highly recommend watching
at some point) is 12 angry men embedded below. Please note if
you choose the same film as another student and post after then,
I expect you to expand on different concepts and use different
examples for theories. This will make your job harder if many
people choose the same film so keep that in mind when
selecting.
