SOCY 100 University of Sultan Qaboos Experiment on Sociology with My Friend Report

 

The point is to have you behave in a deviant fashion and reflect on the role of “norms” in your (our) daily lives. Formally, the exercises for this unit have called for interaction with strangers in public. Covid-19 consideration now make such directives dangerous – (fractionally, but what was once very close to zero is now less close to zero). So here is what I want you to do. Select a friend or other acquaintance with whom you interact regularly. WITHOUT giving yourself away, the next time they ask you: “how are you?” or “what’s up?” or some such thing. You ask them what they mean. They will respond with something like “what do YOU mean ‘what do I mean'” Then you ask them to be more specific about what they want to know. For example, you might ask: “what do you want to know about how I am, physically, mentally, emotionally, academically? ” They will respond somehow and you want to keep up this analytical thing as long as you can (try not to show any emotion – think Data on Star Trek). Eventually they will quit. After they quit you can reveal that it is an exercise for sociology class. Write what happened, what you felt and what you thought. Include input from your victim if YOU think it is of interest. Good luck and “break a leg” as they say.
