Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, 542 U.S. 1 (2004)

Before the 1960s, theatre was dominated by a white middle-class society. These cultural standards have however been altered since then. One of the ways through which this change occurred is that major theatres became open to plays concerning previously marginalized groups. Another way through which this change occurred is that theatres which allowed these groups to have their own voices were established. Some groups opposed marginalization and others argued that valuing and embracing diversity is better than struggling to achieve homogenization. This promoted diversity in theatre whereby formally marginalized groups were allowed and supported to make their contribution in Continue reading...

One sociological norm that has been amusingly investigated is the way people stand in an elevator. The norm is to stand facing the “front”, or the elevator door. To face “backwards” would be seen as unusual, strange and “incorrect.” As a form of social control, social pressure to stand the ‘right way” can be analyzed a number of ways. It is practical – you can see the displays and buttons telling you what floor you are on. It also is part of a herd mentality, humans do not want to stand out.

Introduction

Imagine someone take you by force without your consent and subject you to severe torture in the name of experiment and leave you to die or to recover naturally without proper medication.
