I went along with Sydney, Fitz, and Anna to see Santa at the mall today. I had the job of taking some pictures of reactions from the crowd, but like Sydney said, there wasn't a whole lot of weird response from the crowd. The only thing I noticed however, was that the lady who was helping the photographer went around asking people if anyone wanted just to talk to Santa and not get a picture. She skipped right over our group, I'm assuming because she figured that in no way would college kids want to sit on Santa's lap without getting a picture. Below are a few pictures from the day.
The purpose of this blog is to have one cohesive summary of the findings of the CAS 100C Social Norms Investigation group. Here we will have video logs of experiments we carry out, summaries and comments we wish to make, examples from the media we've found of typical social norms (or of people breaking them), and anything else we find or do that might be relevant. Happy reading!

Thats awesome I wish I did not have drill yesterday so I could have gone with you guys. I am glad to hear it worked out well. I wish more people had responded more to it, but I can see why they might not have though much of it.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you hear about Anna's experience at the mall. Very classy.
ReplyDeleteI love the second-to-last pic where you're on Santa's lap :)
