Family Activity: Making Up Questions for the Midterm Exam
As I announced in class this morning, we are going to have our midterm exam on Thursday, March 19th, and in preparation for that I want each of the families to come up with FOUR SHORT-ANSWER questions (AND ANSWERS)from anything we've covered in class since the beginning of the term (which would also include any lecture material posted on the blog or the recent "Yellow Family on Spencer and Sumner, along with my own commentary"). I will give you some time to confer with your families on Thursday when, hopefully, you can come to some agreement about which four questions you want to submit for consideration. I will need those questions NO LATER THAN NOON FRIDAY (3/13). You may submit them via email. I will try to accept at least two questions from each family, for which you everyone will earn 4 activity points. For every additional question I accept, I will award a bonus point, so you may earn up to two bonus points for this exercise.

Blue Family:
1. What was wrong with the texts of the definition of sociological theory and then define it? Sociologial was not bolded. It is an abstract symbolic representation of and explanation of, social reality.
2. Whats the difference between repressive and restuitive sanctions? Repressive sanctions are characteristic of mechanical solidarity and are embodied in penal law, retuitive sanctions are embodied in civil law, commercial law,procedural law, administrative and constitutional law.
3. Name two type of Durkeims suicide and then give examples. Egoistic- an unmarried man, Altruistic- sacrifice for the greater good, suicide bomber
4. Define Weber's idea of impossible obligation. As sociologists it is impossible to look at society objectively because we are part of society and we have developed our own beliefs through our interactions in society.
