SOC 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Stanford Prison Experiment, Lorena Garcia
Document Summary
Dad dies, mom dies, wife leaves him, becomes a drug addict. Even shawn and his friends see parts of it. But shawn can"t respond to his troubles in a productive way. It all makes a kind of sense but the reality is that the dream is falling apart. Everyone else blames his personal issues to be the cause of his. Cul de sac: a suburban war story- dir. Parallels history of san diego and his personal story of sean told through his friends and family. Individual point of view: a good man but headstrong and helpless (friends). A disturbed man on drugs with a dirty house (media). Social structures are external to us and they feel and seem as if they"re removed, like a kind of remote control. A realistic social structure is where different ideas and structures affect people"s lives but don"t have a direct social explanation for what is going on can"t direct actions to the specific issue.
