Week 9 ~ Inequality in a Global World

I don't think that there is a clear answer to the question. I believe that every situation is different, and that as a HDC, drawing a line between what is 'acceptable' versus 'unacceptable' involvement in a LDC is preposterous. If any line is to be drawn, it should be done so by all parties, not just one or a select few.

Week 6 ~ Social Control

At Montgomery College, one could find millions of examples of both formal and informal social control in every day life. Informal Social control is evident in the interactions between students, professors, and employees of the college, where conformity and peer pressures play large roles. Similarly, media that is available on the campus (i.e. posters, video clips, and pamphlets) serve as informal social control. One can find formal social control in the rules and regulations that the college adheres to, such as the code of conduct for students, the smoking ban on campus, and a professor's syllabus.
