A hilarious video where two passionate young men defend house parties in the Hollywood Hills. The city council was debating whether to ban house parties in wake of numerous complaints, but what would this mean for the invaluable social bonds these environments facilitate? Many sociological ideas can be applied here, including those related to leisure, socialization, solidarity, and interest groups. The video may also inspire your students to become advocates and get involved in local politics.

From the video’s description: The city of LA is trying to outlaw house parties in the Hollywood Hills so Chad and JT stepped in to thwart a potential disaster.
