I loved this show when it was on TV. I didn't go to high school in the 1980s, but even today, there is a lot that is timeless when it comes to describing the high school experience. Today you watched the pilot episode for the series and did some application of our sociologists and perspectives to what you saw. Did Sam and and his guy posse have anything to do with Herbert Spencer's theory of Social Darwinism? How did Lindsay trying to fit in with the "burnouts" an example of conflict theory? How is the school dance connected to symbolic interactionism? Looking forward to the connections that you've made to prepare for next week's test!
