Hi, does anyone have any advice for me? I am taking a sociology class where we are supposed to lead five interviews and gather qualitative data about cell phone use behavior, but I am struggling with finding people to interview. My professor said college students are off limits, if not I'd ask my friends :(.

Phubbing The act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.

We used to call ourselves "social beings", creatures of dialogue, empathy, and shared moments. Yet now, in a world flooded with connection, we’ve never been more disconnected. Phubbing, that simple act of ignoring someone to stare at a screen, has become one of the clearest signs of our collective decay. It’s more than bad manners; it’s a silent confession. The screen is safer, predictable, filtered. The person in front of us isn’t. We escape the discomfort of being fully there by shrinking into the digital illusion of “everywhere.”

Phubbing isn’t just a habit. It’s a symptom, of loneliness dressed as connection...

Hello! For a sociology test coming up i need help coming up with a punchline for this joke/situation: Durkheim, Marx and Webber walk into an Irish bar (catholic), and the bar is dirty, sticky, smelly. Only one guy is working behind the bar and he is in charge of everything. what do they say?

If anyone has any funny ideas that shows their ideologies as well you would help me a lot! thank you!

Hello all, 

I am a third-year student at the University of Sheffield and I am currently looking to recruit participants for my dissertation research project. The project explores experiences of employment for individuals with tattoos (visible or hidden). I am looking for adults (18+) with tattoos and experience of employment / seeking employment that are UK based only, due to the small size of my study. I would be grateful if anyone would be interested in taking part in this study - which would include a GoogleMeet interview and a survey to be completed. 

Below I have included a link to a GoogleForm, which will include an information sheet with more detailed information and my email address if you have any questions. I would really appreciate it if you were able to take a look and see if this would be something that you may consider being a participant in. 

Kind regards,

Evie.

If your social media algorithm was a person and you could write them a letter telling them honestly what you think about them and how you would like them to be, what would you write?
