[Sociology Majors???] My white-boy gang has agreed to let me write a sociological paper on them
    #18821761 - 09/10/13 02:03 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

The gang that [wants to induct me so that] I'm in's leader has agreed to let me do a sociological study on them, understanding that my goal is to publish in an undergraduate Sociology journal.

Does anyone have a good resource on Sociological research methods???

Also, anybody have any ideas or considerations on things about gangs that might be worth exploring that might not be obviously worth looking into?

Edit: the bigger deal... can someone competent in Sociology refer me to an adequate textbook for preparation in research methods in Sociology?

I was already recruited, but I've backed out in the interest of instead documenting their morphology and evolution for the Sociological community.

This gang has already agreed to terrorize the psychiatrist that ruined my life though, which is a nice plus and is very much needed to protect his future patients.

How will they terrorize him?

I'd suggest booking his schedule full, and dosing him with 500mg+ of acid everytime someone has a session :yesnod:

I hope the real sociological research is observing our reaction to such an idea.

You know who they look at when somebody is harassing a psychiatrist, right?

Things to consider: social stratification, social class, culture, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, social mobility, religion, secularization, law, and deviance.

Questions to ponder: the effects of group-mentality on free will, morality and ethics? the effects of peer pressure? the mechanism of bonding amongst like-minded individuals and the power it can wield? direct and indirect effects of gang-mentality on society?

Research methods: experimental research including observation, participant surveys, control groups, archival research.

Lastly: ask yourself what drew you to this topic and what you've learned about yourself throughout the study.

You're talking to a member of PGS. This has long since already been worked out.

I'm sure they'll look at the dozens of people he fucks with pharmacologically weekly.

It's not fake. This is one of the top 5 most worthless replies I've ever seen. I can literally, absolutely guarantee you that you're (internet-wise) talking to the most influential person to science that you've ever interacted with.

Also, regarding your other reply:

I was robbed of over $3000 of equipment last time I decided to do a sociological study on my own, including my laptop, headphones, an expensive mic, etc. I'm good on this advice as well and their loyalty to me (they've been dying for a resident intellectual, apparently) will avert any such concerns this time around. I'm setting up the group that robbed me last time as the scapegoats in case this current group comes under investigation.

You should probably also know that I've already been published in a top 2% scientific journal, and in computational biophysics/genomics, so this isn't some random student looking to resume-build... this is very much real research.

Thank you for a meaningful and useful response! I hadn't considered some of those, and I assuredly shall henceforth!

My plans so far for the interviews include:
Self-percieved socioeconomic status
Drug use
Academic status and history
goals in joining the gang
philosophy on justice
Religion*
secularization*
legal history*
penchant for deviance*
sexuality*




* ideas begotten from your reply, so thank you immensely!!!



Any further contributions would be great! Dorian, either you don't know who you're talking to (the last 3 psychiatrist I've had have, first and foremost, have been concerned primarily that my drug use is going to deprive the scientific community of what I have to offer) or you're a troll, I'm sorry. Perhaps you ought to have a more encouraging, positive attitude to those concerned with understanding and documenting our society and world? Rate me 0 if you'd like, but I can assure you as a PGS member that I'm at least in the top 5 smartest people you're ever going to encounter, whether you happen to be a smarter one or not.

I am, and I'm going to do an iTunes you Sociology Research Methods class if I can't find anything better. I've already emailed my old honors Sociology professor at her [MY UNIVERSITY] alumnus account as well as her new (since she got her PhD) account at her new institution, as well as her Facebook. I'm quite serious about this, and eager for direction on how I can maximize this research.

I'm dealing with a gang because they, seeing my academic/intellectual prowess, decided they wanted me and could use me and while I was hesitant on this front, I did manage to convince their #1 man that being studied and published about in the scientific community would be awesome.



It is risky, though. Again, I've already set up a scheme of exactly who is going to be framed if this leads to any investigation, as well as appraised him and his gangmates as to what sorts of risks I'm imparting on them by doing this so that they can make whatever legal fortifications they need to on their front.

Also, all my notes, both so far and in the future, are written in Ancient Greek transliterations of Spanglish; there's nearly no way anything I document can make its way to a jury, PLUS I already have scapegoats set up.

Your the smartest person we've ever talked to and your asking us for advice for a textbook ?? And posting how you and your gang are gunna fuck with your psyc? This has to be a troll thread. You seem very aragant and not scientificly influential at all. Why would you ask a drug based message board about any of this stuff if your the smartest guy in the world!? This whole thread just makes me lol.
