Vaughan convinced his friend Clifford Antone, owner of the club, to beg King to let Vaughan play guitar with him. After talking with King twice, Vaughan sat onstage, and his career as a blues master began. "That's the best I ever saw either one of those guys play was right there," Antone said.

27. Human And Community Resource Development OSU s Rural sociology graduate program is like other programs in that it does not teach most of its courses in basic sociological theory and research methods. http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~hcrd/rural/teach.html

college of food, agricultural, and environmental sciences human and community resource development Rural Sociology HOME Rural Sociology - Overview of Teaching OSU's Rural Sociology graduate program is like other programs in that it does not teach most of its courses in basic sociological theory and research methods. No program in rural sociology has a faculty large enough to cover most of the fundamental topics of sociology. As a consequence, nationally as well as at Ohio State, rural sociology graduate programs build upon teaching inputs from the Department of Sociology. Students take their basic theory and methods courses in the Department of Sociology and their specialty area courses in Rural Sociology. The Sociology and Rural Sociology programs maintain a symbiotic relationship and, in recent years, there have been few problems with placing Rural Sociology students in Sociology graduate courses. Rural Sociology Ph.D. committees often include faculty from Sociology. Rural Sociology graduate students have only one regular GTA opportunity; the department funds one GTA per year for RS 105. This seriously disadvantages Rural Sociology Ph.D,s in the academic job market and means many miss an important aspect of graduate training. However, students often locate research associate positions in the department and elsewhere. Another challenge to the graduate program is the demand for service teaching versus the need to develop and teach courses for the graduate program. Students complain that there are few course offerings each year and faculty have met on several occasions to discuss the need for revising existing courses (particularly, upgrading 600 level courses to 700 or 800 level), "resuscitating" courses that have not been taught for many years, and developing new courses. Service teaching limits possible initiatives for interdisciplinary degrees and new graduate specializations.

A department is not just an intellectual discipline. It is also a place where people teach and learn, meet requirements for degrees, prepare for and pursue careers, and develop and maintain intellectual, professional, and personal ties. The evidence suggests we are doing these tasks well. The books and articles of the faculty and students regularly win prizes and honors and we do extremely well in national ranking systems. Even our most demanding courses are well received by both majors and nonmajors.

36. Memes And The Sociology Of Religion It is evident why many students of the sociology of religion regard memedriven Most religions teach that they are the one true path to salvation and all http://kwelos.tripod.com/memes.htm

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Check out the NEW Hotbot Tell me when this page is updated Memes and the sociology of religion - how religious beliefs propagate and maintain themselves within social groups. Among many anthropologists and sociologists, it has recently become fashionable to dismiss all religions as memes - parasitic mental processes which propagate in the same manner as chain letters [Dawkins 1989, Dennett 1995]. In this view, religious belief is a self-perpetuating delusion.. A meme (rhymes with 'dream') may be defined as any self-referential belief system which contains within itself the instructions for its own propagation. Memes are often accused of being the social equivalents of computer viruses - useless or sometimes harmful mental processes which use their hosts to infect others. A meme has exactly the same psychological motivation as a chain letter - "If you propagate me then something nice will happen, if not then something horrible will happen". In order to justify themselves against attack by reason, religious memes place absolute reliance on faith, which is seen as being superior to reason. They also contain self-referential or circular claims to the truth such as "This meme says it is the divine truth. Since it is the divine truth whatever its says must be true. Therefore it must be divine truth because it says so and all competing memes must be the work of the devil".
