Class Notes

Urban Sociology #2

How I took notes in my Contemporary Cities class 3/08/12

Cities cause alienation and isolation

Father Marx what’s up with all this exploitation?

Maximizing profit, workers united,

Overthrowing capitalist

Ideology isn’t just corrupt, it’s the people within it

Yo, you amp’t off that city life, trippin’

Sophistication, anonymity leads to over mental stimulation

Simmel calculate this, open our minds. Satisfaction

Small towns don’t see differences

Identity lost, no more compasses

Guiding the way for social acceptance

Louis Wirth, Determinist Theory

Is it still happening today?

So what if a nanny raises a child

The parents working by the green mile

Everyday I’m hustling, minimum wage

Wait what? I gotta pay to meet people?

Group-control mechanisms, isn’t that illegal?

I’m just saying

Values should be learned in the youth

Parents pay attention, it’s the truth

You are just a piece to a puzzle

Constructed on a table, middle of nowhere

Cultural knowledge leads to cultural pride

Yet there is no common law we all share

Education is down, teaching all different types of curriculums

They’re tryin’ to cripple us

Succeeding to instill in us

Acceptance of a caste system
