Sociology Professor A.C. Higgins
"Is there a way for us to resolve our conflicts without war? I want you to think about this. And, this point is so important that I shall end it with the two most awaited words for my students... class dismissed."
"Suspend disbelief. Let me take you where I want to go. If, in the end, nothing then at least you got a ride."
"When you form an in in one group you automatically form outs in others."
"Stereotypes are the worst thing you can do to a kid."
"All the rules you learn as children must be unlearned as you grow older. The thou shalt not's aren't exactly fit for life."
"Be careful what we play to be... we become what we play to be. We become what we're pretending to be. You play baseball, become good and, without knowing it, you're Joe DiMaggio."
"I am human and nothing human is alien to me."
"Upward mobility is possible to the extent society makes it possible."
"The purpose of sociological study is to bring to light what we just don't realize. Some of the most important things we just don't see."
"Power is situational specific."
"You can choose your problems but, you can't choose [your social structure] to be problem free."
"Historical change brings problems."
"The 3rd world is a euphemism for countries that are poor, have AIDS, and we have kept drugs from because they're too poor. Physicians kept help from Africa because they wouldn't be able to make money."
"We can escape from reality with imagination. The schizophrenic and the average person are the same; in terms of behavior. If you doze off and daydream in a [lecture center] it's okay but, if you do it during the rest of the day you have a problem. All that matters is time."
"You can't use public records if you want to know society. You must understand labeling first."
