    btw, Hummingbirdtat2, soc. was great. i had a fantastic instructor, one of my best ever, and the class had a variety of perspectives, readings, etc. we used the conflict/order perspective as a jumping-off point a lot; we read mills, weber, du bois, religious-based stories, also ones re: education, gender, race, class, and stratification. we read stories about cowboys and indians, barbie-doll culture, how housework is divvied up, how children are gendered, studies on poverty, studies on education and class, etc. etc. and etc.

    it was an excellent subject; i almost wish i needed another soc. class as a prerequisite rather than developmental psych.
    shh!!!
    the air and water have been here a long time, and they are telling stories.

    Okay, what's your list?
    Well I don't have any reading list coz I'm not in school anymore. I took International Relations studies back in college, so I'm a little familiar with international politics book. I haven't been aware with the current development in international politics books, but I think some of the "classic" books are great, like the ones written by Gilpin, Nye, and Holsti.

    My Fal required reading list was just a ton of books in History class:

    >The Federalist Papers
    > The AntiFederalist Papers
    > John Locke's Two Treatises of Government
    >Dante's Divine Comedy

    not a ton of fun..............but I did like reading Locke (I read a ton of Philosophical books in my spare time for fun, anyway).
    4.112 Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of
    doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations.
    Philosophy does not result in 'philosophical propositions', but rather in the clarification of
    propositions. Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and indistinct: its task is
    to make them clear and to give them sharp boundaries.


    (Tractatus Logico Philosophicus; Wittgenstein)
