It is not that only physical violence that marks scars are not signs of ...

Will other stateless nations have the same good fortune?

Undisputedly, social identity has a psychological dimension. However, in the sociological imagination, Wright Mills explains that ‘neither the life of an individual nor the history of society can be understood without understanding both’ (Mills, 1959). Therefore, when exploring social identity it is vital to assess the social and cultural factors that shape an individual in the milieu that it is fashioned in the contemporary society. This means that, we must look at both the power the individual has to exercise agency and the structure, or society into which they are born; the society, which already exist. Sociologist Emile Durkheim ...

The place of women in traditional and modern society differs greatly. In the past, the society held that women’s roles were more domestic and confined to the rules of men.

On the other hand, India and Guatemala still have a high number of rape cases as many men still men ...

Would families prefer to keep their funds in their savings account? Or would they continue spending their disposable income? If the citizens do not spend, the economies may have a hard time recovering from the crisis. Thus, it is relevant to look into ...
