had a fineee day today~
deviance lecture was funnier than usual partly becos of the stuff we learnt.
and i actually tot the reading's gonna be fun but it gave me headache after reading like 5 pages of it zZz.
hahas..
anyway he was teaching us the origins of deviance from the positivist side which are an absurd bunch of people & the reason why pple are divided and discrimminated becos of their races/ gender.
the things Lombroso mentioned was:
- crimminals are defined
in terms of biological traits (huh?)
e.g: protuded jaw, extremely long arms, nose twisted bent/ flattened, multiple fingers/toes etc.
mostly dealing with deformity lOlx.
- he actually wanted doctors,psychiatrists and psychologists to identify such pple & throw them into prison lOlx..
- he felt that the Negro race (blacks) were inferior to the Whites & they had to become slaves because it is a therapeutic necessity for the Blacks & medical responsibility for the Whites (like wth?)
i bet this is the
most absurd thing i've heard from positivist criminology by
Pollack (1958):
- Women/ women crimminals are
born liars because...
i really wonder how this came in: they can fake orgasm while men can't.
OMG. ahah i think they're desperate to pinpoint some fault at us females.
- that
women are born to be victimized, hence male violence is a therapeutic neccessity?!?!
soOo...
the lecturer showed us an example of how such things are relevant in today's life as well (can u believe it? we're still judged by how we loOk lOlx.)
my lecturer whose an Indian told his story:
L: u noe how when we're around the neighbourhood, we dun wear our Gucci...we wear t-shirt and shorts. I was walking around the neighbourhood when i saw the police patrol car passed by and they actually saw me from the rear view mirror & step brake (i saw the brake lights!).
L: I see them looking at me so i walked briskly (like obviously he created more suspicion lOlx.) away from them.
*policeman A came out *
A: where are you going?
L: There *points front*
A: There where!? *increasing suspicion*
L: I'm going back to my home
A: Can i see your work permit? (lOlx)
L: I don't have a work permit
at this time, policeman B was startled and came out too.
L: But i got singaporean nric
lOlx.

Psy tutorial was okie..hahas..
it's at my prev sem's Lit classroom.
Tutor was funny..he's south asian toO but he's different from the past experiences i had with south asian tutors..
and he gives breaks! whEe..
and he actually photocopied his tutor's outline for the lesson and gave it to us lOlx.
and we actually ended later than 6pm & had to mark attendance outside..
still, we're not done with our tutorial yet. lOlx..
went jogging with Sixiang..
met sx's roommate which i forgot wad he's called lOlx..
we actually chatted without knowing each other's name.
his hostel is TERRIBLE.
i was quite freaked out.
i saw a fat cockroach in the guy's toilet entrance *eeEk*, a black furry RAT hiding at one of the corners *EEKK* & a guy hanging around the porch with only a pale blue towel lOlx..apparently he just came out from the toilet cos his body was still drenched.
but when he saw me, he sort of slowly whizz away lOlx.
running in the evenings are good.
coOl, breezy & lesser people~
i didn't noe he went to perm his hair again.
this time i think it's toO overboard cos his str8 hair makes the curly hair extremely curly and dry lOlx.
these pple ought to be shot when they have soft shiny straight black strands.
instead they want it to be dry frizzy and curly.
ARGHx.
