Introduction to Sociology - Conformity and Isolation

[@ericlarson7556]

I am a contented recluse much of the time and have been for about 2 decades now. Prior to that I was most certainly a discontented recluse isolated much of my time for roughly 2 decades. There appears to be no room in this subject for me but I am only 10 minutes in so I will keep listening. The way he is talking I will be surprised if the niche I am in is mentioned.

I'm obsessed with these videos ❤

something interesting about isolation of "illegitimate children" in the past here in Canada, people who were born to unwed mothers were not given Canadian citizenship. some of these people are still alive, they voted, they paid taxes all their lives, etc. but did not know until they tried to get a passport and couldn't get one because they weren't citizens. So, these people ended up stateless, which is the ultimate exclusion.

Wow, that's crazy.

[@ozchord6828]

Wow..isolation causes you to perhaps die, and or loose your mind! No wonder the Gov has been advertising about mental “health”!

Please advice the books to read get specialised for sociology

[@Paraselene_Tao]

I'm not able to list the entire reading material here. It's about three pages long, and it includes URLs that KZbin will probably block. If you google search "intro to sociology nyu material harvey molotch" then you will find a 101 kb, 4-page pdf file of his 2016 Intro to Sociology syllabus. It includes about 3 pages of reading material. Good luck.

This is very interesting.

"Those in isolation literally die" - From what mate? How? What about isolation causes death ?

[@bjornrie]

Some time later. It's more similar to something like smoking.

[@Paraselene_Tao]

I know it's bot supposed to be a main takeaway of this lecture, but I sort of wished that someone would test the Asche experiment, Milgram experiment, Stanford prison experiment, or some variant of these on me. I wish I knew how much of a conformant I am. I figure that I conform to a lot of norms, but I hope that I can nonconform when it is right to do so. Shouldn't we all?

[@usenlim4379]

are you vegan?

[@Paraselene_Tao]

@@usenlim4379 Simple answer: not yet, but I'm considering it. I can give you a longer answer or more info if you like. Right now, I eat very little or no red meat or processed foods. I have a high protein diet that relies a lot on chicken meat, eggs, dairy, and whey protein to make up over 80% of my daily protein needs. I consider how to change maybe the chicken meat into tofu, seitan, vegan protein isolates (like pea powder), and other high protein, vegan options. I talked with GPT-4 about this several times, and it seems perfectly doable to transition over to a majority vegan diet or totally vegan diet. I would do this out of concern for the global ecology (global warming and preserving the natural environment) and animal rights.

Let it play for a while and you will get the sound but no video.
