Distraction #1

Left-handed hilarity.

Painfully Aware

Sociology is a pretty depressing major.

-You learn that there will always be a power difference between different groups, therefore there will always be one dominant and one subordinate.

-Being born a certain race will either give u an advantage or disadvantage.

-Machines could eventually take over the world, while humanity becomes more and more dependent on technology.

-The rational becomes irrational, which ends up having negative effects. Take for example segways. I never understood why anyone would need to segway to anywhere. I guess walking is passé.

-We have less and less freedoms with increasing bureaucratization

-Equal rights does not equate to equal opportunity.

- You end up applying sociological theory to everything. There goes watching movies for fun.

Inequality no longer surprises you, and just confirms what you already know.


Painfully Aware
What an appropriate faculty motto.

Lock and Key

locked within the confines of the body,
beneath the weakness of the human heart,
under the shortcomings of the human mind,
lies limitless possibilities.

Where is the key?
