Sociology Assignment Just Yelling Fire In Crowded Theater

Published Friday, December 13th, 2024

Sources report that the latest assignment given to the students of SOC 0910: Motivating Group Action was to loudly announce a fire in the middle of a crowded theater.

“FIRE! FIRE!!” shrieked Avery Bodwick ’26 halfway into Gladiator II, taking detailed notes as the shoulder-to-shoulder audience suddenly panicked and quickly overwhelmed the exits. “FIRE! THERE’S A FIRE! GET OUT NOW!!”

“GET OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! FIRE!!” continued Bodwick, carefully counting out how many people were crying as the throng crushed several elderly people. “FIRE!! FIRE!! FIRE!!”

At press time, the latest MCM assignment was to critically compare the viewing experience of watching a movie during a fire to watching one without a fire.
