101. The Times Of Our Lives: Investigations Into Socio-chronology Also of sociological relevance are individuals perspectives of social change, for instance, Horology The index (The Science of Timekeeping) http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/time.html

T IMES OF OUR L IVES Time is the element in which we exist. ... We are either borne along by it or drowned in it. Joyce Carol Oates, "Marya" Much can be made of Bob Dylan's "the times, they are a changin'." According to William Irwin Thompson, we're now AT THE EDGE OF HISTORY , buffeted about by John Naisbitt's MEGATRENDS , and with millions suffering from Alvin Toffler's FUTURE SHOCK . In the lifetime of one born in 1976, America's bicentennial year, the population of the world has increased by over one and one-half billion individuals, hundreds of thousands have died in the name of nationalism or religion, trillions of dollars have been spent perfecting doomsday weaponry, and the revolutions in minority, gender, and old age relations have shaken the traditional foundations of social life. To make matters even more interesting, we are told that the pace of such change is accelerating. And with people living ever longer, the historical changes that used to be absorbed by several generations now must be coped within a single lifetime. Largely forgotten are the principles and values on which society's oldest members based their lives. With the accelerating push forward generated by technological and scientific innovations, the future is supposedly coming closer. However, as a society, we seem unable to conceive of great enterpriseslike the medieval construction of the great cathedrals of Europethat can link generations together into a common project spanning several centuries. Simultaneously, the pastthe wake in the water produced by the bow of the future and the hull of the presentis growing longer, thanks to technology replacing personal memories: on celluloid for instance, we can see and hear George Bernard Shawa man born a decade before the outbreak of the American Civil Wartalk to us about first hand experiences with the Victorian sexual mores. Ironically, the extent of our

103. Lawley--Bourdieu Paper Examines applicability of Pierre Bourdieu's work in the sociology of culture to computermediated communications. http://www.itcs.com/elawley/bourdieu.html

The Sociology of Culture in Computer-Mediated Communication: An Initial Exploration by Elizabeth Lane Lawley Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for LS695 Seminar in Research Design April 1994 Right now, all we have on the Net is folklore, like the Netiquette that old-timers try to teach the flood of new arrivals, and debates about freedom of expression versus nurturance of community. About two dozen social scientists, working for several years, might produce conclusions that would help inform these debates and furnish a basis of validated observation for all the theories flying around. A science of Net behavior is not going to reshape the way people behave online, but knowledge of the dynamics of how people do behave is an important social feedback loop to install if the Net is to be self-governing at any scale. Howard Rheingold (1993) Introduction In her paper "Appropriating Bourdieu: Feminist Theory and Pierre Bourdieu's Sociology of Culture" (1991), Toril Moi defines the process of appropriation as "a critical assessment of a given theory formation with a view to taking it over and using it for feminist purposes." In that same sense, I hope to appropriate Bourdieu for the purpose of structuring a research program on the social and cultural aspects of computer-mediated communication. In order to show the applicability of Bourdieu's theories to the study of CMC and related information networks, I will first discuss the justification for defining CMC environments as culture, go on to provide an overview of Bourdieu's theoretical project, and then examine the tasks that must be undertaken in order to utilize Bourdieu's constructs in exploring and understanding that culture. I will conclude with an assessment of the viability and usefulness of such a research project.

QUALIA V: The Quantum Physics and Sociology of Participatory Democracy. Exploring QUFD Principles, from the QUFD website, at: http://go.to/QUFD By Father Jerome When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, And to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, A decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impell them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; That they are endowed by their creator with inherent and unalienable rights; That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter and abolish it, and to institute new government; Laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness...

Emphasizing a variety of approaches to interpretation and research, the Department of Sociology provides diverse opportunities for both master's and doctoral study. Students combine study of major sociological texts with exploration of topics that speak to the major questions of our times, including the development of cyberspace and the network society; the rise of new cultural forms; the articulations of race, class, and ethnicity in cities and nations; the role of religion and ideals in social and political life; the relations between citizens, constitutions, and rule of law; and democracy, civil society, and the public sphere. To encourage this engaged and interdisciplinary intellectual work, the faculty offers courses and projects developed in tandem with several other programs and departments at The New School. In addition to working closely with the faculty and staff of the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies, Liberal Studies, and the Departments of Political Science and Philosophy, the department offers a joint degree in sociology and history (with the school's Committee on Historical Studies) and in sociology and media (with the Media Studies Program of The New School for General Studies).

118. Kearl's Guide To The Sociology Of Death: Suicide Includes some history of sociological research of suicide and numerous statistics and analysis. http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/death-su.html

S UICIDE In 1999, for the first time, the Surgeon General issued a Call To Action To Prevent Suicide , defining it as a "public health hazard." In public interviews he noted how in 1998 for every two homicides in the U.S. there were three suicides. Since 1952, the incidence for adolescents and young adults has nearly tripled, and 90% of these cases were due to guns. Each day 86 Americans take their own lives and another 1,500 attempt to do so Two years later, President Bush's new Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, repeated the alarm and unveiled a national blueprint to challenge "a preventable problem. No one really knows why people commit suicide and perhaps the person least aware is the victim at the moment of the decision. An estimated 2.9% of the adult population attempts suicide . In efforts to explain this 8th-leading cause of death (third for Americans 15-24), scientists have located the cause of self-destructive behavior both within and without the individual. Physiologists, for instance, have found those with low serotonin (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid) levels to be as much as ten times more likely to be victims than those with higher amounts. Psychologists talk of precipitators in terms of personality disorders, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and alienation, and uncontrollable urges to shed an unwanted self (

119. The Next Generation: Children Of Prisoners Examines the unintended consequences of the incarceration of parents on children. By Dr. John Hagan, Professor in the Department of sociology and the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto. http://www.doc.state.ok.us/DOCS/OCJRC/Ocjrc96/Ocjrc19.htm

The Next Generation: Children of Prisoners by John Hagan, Ph.D. University of North CarolinaChapel Hill University of Tornoto Abstract This paper is concerned with the unintended consequences of the incarceration of parents on children. These consequences may include problems with separation, caretaking, schooling, antisocial behavior during childhood, educational failure, precocious sexuality, premature departures from home, early childbearing and marriage, and idleness and joblessness during adolescence and early adulthood. I propose a longitudinal study to examine the dimensions and causes of these problems among children of parents sentenced in the federal district courts of New York. A major premise of this proposal is that the withdrawal or loss of a parent can result in the loss not only of economic capital, but also of social capital involving relationships among family members and the organization of family life toward the maintenance and improvement of life chances of children. INTRODUCTION Crime and Families In a recent review of research on genetics and crime, Christopher Jencks (1992, Chapter 3) emphasizes how primitive our knowledge of the heritability of crime is. Nearly all these studies are of males. He concludes that
