Recently in Sociology class we had watched the old TV show Freaks and Geeks. We watched this show because we had look for several examples of how the show showed Sociological Imagination. The show, Freaks and Geeks, is about a high school set in the 1980s about separation of groups. In class, Mr. Salituro gave out slips of paper. On the paper you had a designed question for you. I had question number two focusing on who in the show had the power, why they have power, and how they use the power. In the episode of Freaks and Geeks, the power is distributed mostly towards the bullies and leading bully, Alan. Alan had the power because he literally pushes the little, nerdy kids around. They used in it a violent way towards that one group. This type of high school is totally different because it was 20 years ago. In their society, there were distinguished groups and bullies. The distinguished groups separate the cool kids from the nerdy kids. Today, it isn't like that. Society is much different back then than it is today. Therefore, society has changed and many things that occur in the tv show will not be tolerated if it were to happen in today's society. This also relates to the spit activity in class we encountered in class. Like Mr. Salituro said, "It's okay to spit in some places because that's how us as humans accept it." Humans have accepted or have been used to spitting on a baseball field but not in a classroom. It just feels and looks wrong in the real world. I agree that it does look very strange because we aren't used to that kind of stuff going on.
