Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today, we will be discussing society, and the social forces around us.

[To get discussion moving I will be presenting the theory of positivism which tries to answer these questions, I will then smear this theory and ask you all of it deserves smearing.] - Levi, our presenter for today

Some discussion points for todays topic:

How does one look at society?

How do we try to understand and learn about society?

Can we perfectly understand society?

Can we understand it without judging it?

Should we?

Join us at 4:30-5:30 in PAHB 456 today! 

See you soon,

Liv
