100: Just a thought to Ponder
Hi Dr. Phil,
I've been thinking about
something we discussed in class quite a while ago that I never got around
to questioning. It's in regards to the thought that language, a socially
developed tool, is what contributes to building memories, and how the reason
many of us don't remember being babies is because we had no language (which
defines everything around us)to define what it was we were seeing/percieving.
I was just wondering; do you think dreams work in the same way? Do
you think that language is in any way responsible for the construction
of dreams? Obviously in order to see things in your dreams you most
likely had to see them in real life first, but I wasn't sure if a person
would need to simply see the object in order for it to be incorperated
in a dream or if that person would need also a definition of what that
object was. Just curious about your thoughts on this.

Subject: just a question
that is was thinking of when studying
Hey Doctor Phil
The question that I
thought was:
In a remote tribe scuh
as ones in the Amizon where there has been no real contact with other tribes,
how would socity change? I understand that the tribe would have very
simple dynamics, but how would the demension become more complex?
I know with interaction with other socities the tribe would become more
complex because of the interaction, but if there was no interaction how
would values and the rest of the dimension change? or would the just stay
stagnet.

Subject: Ok all I've
arranged....
Hey guys! I've booked
a room in the library (up top apparently) for 3:30 it's under my name (Stephanie),
this will allow for all of us to get there on time. If you can't make it
then let someone know and maybe some note taking or something can be arranged.
Dr. Phil would you please post this on the blog for Soc 160? Thank you!
And see you all on Friday, bring your notes and whatever else might help
us all out! See you tomorrow! Steph

Subject: soc160: question
not directly related to soc160
Hi Dr. Phil,
I have a question (actually
a couple) that I was hoping to get your opinion on. They do not directly
relate to our soc160 class, although I'm sure gender roles are a big subject
in traditional family life. Please feel free to share with the class, if
you wish.
If men and women can
be gender (socially) defined, would it be impossible to acheive total equality?
That is, if men and women are taught to behave like their respective gender
how can they be seen as the same (equal), where by simply labelling someone
as male or female gender is to notice a difference.
Would feminism (in this
context) be seen as mere "damage control" since it would be impossible
to have feminism without inequality? Isn't it like lines in a mathmatical
graph that get closer and closer but never meet? If there is any truth
to this, then could it be applied to other socially defined categories
(race, age)?
