Environmental sociology is basically the social impacts of environmental ‘policies’, but it is directly aimed at exploring the environmental impacts on minority populations.
My criticism of the premise is that this is the most important thing going on today. As if we weren’t facing an energy crisis, historical inflation, a country nearing it’s 2nd civil war, an active genocide in China or russia demolishing a city of nearly 450,000 people.
But environmental racism surely is more important than any of those issues.
You’re correct, but neither is environmental sociology. It is what was offered to fulfill my humanities credit requirement. If the class was centered on how to fix these issues, id be more on board, but its basically just there to raise awareness. Again, not a problem, but shouldn’t we be focussing on how to fix the problems of the world, rather than just learning enough to virtue signal off it?
P.S. my degree is in Computer Information Systems; no humanities class is actually relevant.
Unless you’re doing something right now to fix the problem I don’t think it’s fair to discredit talking about those certain issues. Awareness is good, cause that actually leads to some people taking the extra step to actually do something.
Rest of us kinda just focus on our own problems and that’s okay too.
Why waste all the brainpower at America’s institutions to do nothing more than learn about all the world’s inequities? The better thing to learn would be tracing those problems to their root causes. Ask why. Ask how to stop it from happening again. Come up with some potential solutions and defend them.
At least that gives a chance for something to be done about it. Most of these issues come from failed policy… learning how those failed policies lead to these outcomes would surely help better educate the younger generation on what they should vote for.
But maybe I’m just the crazy asshole who thinks college education should actually be worth something.
I tried it exactly once back in college.
Then I swore off deep-frying again at home ever again. Not only was my wings not as good as what I could get at the stores, including those frozen ones you find in grocery stores, deep frying stuff is freaking scary if you’re not used to it and I decided that it’s not worth getting the practice in to get used to it.
I dont think so tbh. College should be teaching you how to solve problems; a skill that may not be acquired without being taught how to. Awareness can and will be brought about by the many organizations whose sole purpose in existence is to bring these issues to the publics eye.
Anyone can learn about racial inequities via armchair discussion. Learning how to solve complex problems, however, takes critical thinking skills… something i thought was a backbone skill to be taught in universities.
But maybe this is just semantics. Admittedly, im a disgruntled conservative stuck in a liberal institution. Ive no problem with opposing points of view; i do not believe the institution feels the same though.
I don’t have one either (nor do I have a deep fryer), but my idea was to just bake it. It may be depressing compared to fried, but hey maybe it’ll turn out good.
I bake mine and they turn out pretty great. Bake at 450 for 25-30 minutes with only dry seasonings. Take them out at 30ish minutes, coat with whatever buffalo sauce you want, then put them back in for another 5-10 minutes. Repeat as needed for sauce to stick, depending how saucy you like em.
Don’t forget to grease your pan or else you’ll lose all the skin
