Sociology
Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

Closest I came to smoking a pedestrian was a black dude, like Wesley Snipes black, wearing all black, sauntering across a Chicagoland street at 10PM.
His white shoes were the only thing that saved his life. Saw little white flashes moving low, puzzled me so I dropped down from 55. Motherfucker just looked at me like, "What? Fuck you.", kept rolling. My heart was hammering out my chest.
See assholes in my hood dressed dark all the time. You don't gotta have reflectors on (I do have a strip on my pack), but FFS, wearing black at night?!
(Old man rant; I did that shit when I was a young punker.)
This happened to me recently, but with someone's pale white ass. Same thing, saw something oddly white in the inky blackness, it was someone's face crossing the road right in front of my car. (They were dressed in head to toe black with a black bag)
We need a law that all black overcoats need red reflective material built into the sleeves, back, and front. Make it stylish, but make it visible. Will improve safety on bikes, scooters, ski slopes and hiking.
