MOST RECENT STORY: Tough Times, Part II
IN PROGRESS: Legendary Games
CURRENT DISTRACTION: Pokémon LeafGreen
This is the hell I have been putting myself through for the past three days (if any of you have taken any college-level sociology classes, you will know my pain):
Sample Answer from my Community and Crime Midterm Study Guide:
According to Robinson, the ecological fallacy is the propensity of sociologists to name an individual's behavior as the best dependent variable. However, this does not work when you lack data at the individual level, so the fallacy becomes apparent when you try to apply aggregate level data to individuals. In other words, the ecological fallacy is using either aggregate or individual data to make an assumption about the other. Individual level analysis is therefore preferable to aggregate level analysis because crime is ultimately committed by individuals, not groups.
It makes sense to me, and I wish it didn't because that means I am this close to being a complete loss to normal society. And all this just so I can go to police academy.
I am inches away from killing myself, and I haven't even taken the goddamn test yet.
I never thought I would ever say this, ever, but I need a beer.

PS: Don't drink TOO much, or you might forget it all before the test.
maybe this is why I almost failed high school sociology...
