Zhang (107) examines the interesting process of how social stratification in the society emerges. He takes a critical look at China whereby people did not care about differentiated lifestyles and status recognition in the past. But today, the Chinese community is encountering the rise of a middle-class society with stratified residential areas and expensive consumer tastes. The sociospatial nature of cities in the country under socialism which maintained a homogenous community has now transformed into a heterogeneous setup. In most early societies, individuals shared a similar social standing. However, as the communities began evolving and becoming complex, some members ...

Literature Review: Principle of Equivalence

List of References: 12 Literature Review Principle of Equivalence Background Usually, whenever a property is purchased or acquired from a willing or non-willing seller, it is expected that a fair compensation is given to those whose interests are deprived.

In other instances, the monetary sum provided may be a huge sum, but it may not cover non-quantifiable losses such as psychological and social implications. As experience has shown, there are ...

In the beginning, we tried to concentrate the sun’s heat by using glass, mirrors or other devices to light fires. From those times, we greatly progressed, but still we did not conquer this magnificent source of power. Why ...

Juvenile and adult systems differ in many ways. For instance, juveniles are tried for delinquent acts, while it is only very serious cases that lead to a case being referred to as the adult justice system. Secondly, they do not have a jury in their trials. In contrast, they have a judge hearing the evidence and ruling if the child is errant (Clarke, 2015). What’s more, when they are deemed to be juveniles, the goal is to rehabilitate, rather than punish as it is in the adult justice system. This is proof that juveniles are not adults, thus ...

Introduction

In most communities, family apartments were private spaces that offered a place of refuge and intimacy. Public spaces such as city squares were ideal for business dealings in addition to offices (Knowles, 2011, p. 130). This arrangement has since changed in the advent of information communication technology. Raymond Guess argues that the conception of privacy in modern times is where the identity of self-first has crumbled down (So-il.org, 2016). He goes further to observe that the community presently has the duty to promote and defend the security of individuals. Classic liberals are of the opinion that the basic right ...

The blockade of opportunities or the means to achieve culturally acceptable norms in the society is also an important motivation. While race is not universally found to cause delinquency, ...
