There exists in the world of sociology some controversy between two theories of thought. The debate is usually over a question like this “Which has more control over an individual’s life agency or structure?”
One side argues that people are confined behind the boundaries of social structures. How a person behaves within the structure is controlled by the boundaries or his perception of the boundaries. How a person acts depends on how the social structure (or hierarchy of social structures) “allows” him to act. There is free will only as it fits into the power structure of social systems. ...

Everyone has listened to music at one point in their life. The effect that music has on people is phenomenal and such that the absence of music unimaginable. My musical experience is interesting as I have different tastes and sounds from different cultures.

I will outline my background, origins, immersion into the Anglo-American culture and how my professional career developed as ...

I am an African American female born in the fall of 1984. I am the second born of four daughters and consider myself to be somewhat outspoken. Growing up with three sisters meant there were no “boy” toys in my home. We were expected to be family oriented and well-mannered as children, but I expect that would have been the same if I had brothers. I was also never restricted from expressing my opinion. My mother was supportive of her children, allowing us to choose our own career paths and dress how we choose. She never set a particular ...

My mother was very authoritative in that she did not allow me to do what I wanted without permission. On the other hand, my father was passive and permissive. In some instances, he did not even seem to care what ...

1. In essence, I believe that abortion should be an issue left up to the mother, and that it an acceptable practice if it is needed. In a perfect world, abortions would not be necessary - every pregnancy that would occur would yield a life that could be given a good life and be loved by parents who are ready and capable of taking care of them. However, this is not a perfect world, and pregnancies happen every day for less-than-ideal reasons: rape, incest, unplanned pregnancies despite initiatives to use birth control methods. Furthermore, there are complications in pregnancy that can affect the ...
