When I was in my favorie soc class. Deviant behavior...
I wrote a paper on Masochism. I compared and contrasted it to Sadism, talked about the historical origins, and the lifestyles of both Masoch and Sade, talked about how sado-masochism is truly an oxymoronic word. Excellent reading fun, and the instructor seemed to enjoy it a great deal.

Whoops, I almost forgot, the most fun part was going to Bondage a go go to observe masochism in person...

wink

samling:
deviance? how about gang violence?

Books:

A defense of Masochism: Anita Philips
Coldness and Cruelty: Gilles Deleuze
Venus in Furs: Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Any kind of biographical information you can find on Sade or Masoch.
Various websites devoted to the topic.

Subthemes are various. Power and control in relationships, the types of people that participate, power and control in business meetings (seriously!)....

It shouldn't be too hard to run with it.

They showed up four hours later asking about the people who live downstairs.


Are you sure the cops showed up because of your fight? Because I'm thinking the cops could've showed up just for your downstairs neighbors in an unrelated incident.

For the paper, I say go with what you already know (unless you're burned out on the subject). If your class load is anything like mine, anything that reduces work is preferred.

(back to my own paper... /sigh)

It's on the characteristics and development of effective leadership. It's a good example of the kind of fluff buzzword responses that I'm being bombarded with this semester. I'm not at all bitter about it. wink

Here's another one.

The Seattle Times loves talking about gangs!! RACISTS!

i'm more opinonated about gangs than some. but i used to be in a bad crowd, and had friends that were in the gangs.

How about a paper on recovering addicts an alcoholics and their tendency towards selfdestruction and misery.
Their need to keep themselvs from being happy, as if they some how don't think they deserve it and make sure to maintain some level of self induced discontentment.

Also the weird balance between perfectionistic tendency mixed with that good old who gives a fuck attitude.

I had my cervix frozen. Yeah. Have you had the HPV shot? Do you have health insurance through school, or a clinic at school? Have you even ever been to an ob/gyn yet?
