1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

INTRODUCTION

There has been a great deal of political and ethical based arguments that are heatedly debated, from political, religious and societal levels. Most recently some of these issues are related to police violence, racial divides, women’s rights and the recent Presidential ...

Understanding society, and indeed the world, is a complex task that is unlikely to ever be fully achieved. There are various social theories that work to explain the workings of society, three of which are structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. The structural functional approach works on the idea that society is made up of systems that are beneficial to all concerned. However, there are substantial problems with this theory, as it does not acknowledge that certain structures need to change even if they seem to be working for the majority. Conflict theory asserts that society functions based ...

In the majority of states all crimes are divided into two groups: felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between these two groups is in seriousness of crimes. (Hasselm, 2011) If this is a felony, an accused person can get 1 year in prison, life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty. If it is a misdemeanor, an accused person could be punished by less than 1 year or a year of imprisonment and/or fine. Crimes are not equal in weight. General public considers some of the crimes more severe than others. (Kappeler, 2014) The majority of people considers the ...

Functionalism

Functionalism is described as the system of highly related parts that work together harmoniously. The proponents of this theory purport that society is composed of various parts, each with a particular functionality that contributes to the whole. As such, it is stable and self-regulating like a biological organism. Nevertheless, this theory is broad and cannot account for each aspect of change and its complicated relationship to elements of the whole.

Conflict Theory

It is rooted in Marxism and proposes that each entity struggles to attain maximum benefit, and as a result, it causes society to change in response to social inequality ...

Theories of Religion

The Functionalism theory was coined by Durkheim whereby the theory views religion from a societal platform based on the way it influences the thinking and behaviour of people. The theory argues that sacred objects tend to have divine properties and people tend to separate them from profane objects (Pals & Pals 2006). Religion is viewed as an aspect that fosters good health and society continuation in general. It is a platform that helps societies to affirm their common beliefs and cultural values on a regular basis while also ensuring that societal order and cohesion is enhanced. The essay looks into ...

The systems models that are set up in the health care vary. There are four systems models that can be used in a healthcare setting. The first model would be a three-core process model. The second model is BNQP Healthcare criteria for performance excellence model. The third model is systems model or organized accidents. The fourth model is sociological framework model. The four models can be used to help in a hospital emergency such as the one below. I will pick one of the four that I think will be helpful when dealing with a situation that requires emergency ...

Virginia Henderson- Need Theory

Virginia Henderson developed the Nursing Need Theory based on her personal experience gained through practice and education (Zamanzadeh, et al. 2015). Henderson’s core objective was not to form or develop a theory but focus on the core principles associated with nursing practice. She focused on the various factors that contribute to be a successful nursing professional. Henderson through her theory proposed the concept of patient’s independence and improved health outcomes. She states that letting patients independently perform key tasks would fasten the recovery process and decrease the overall hospitalization stay. She states that nursing practice is closely ...

Homework #1

All of the experiences presented in path 1 were really interesting, but one of them particular caught my interest. This experience was shared by Cameron Day who had an interest in criminal sociology and was interested in finding the reasons behind certain criminal behaviors. The reason I am particularly interested in this experience because criminal behavior is something which I have always been curious about. When I was little, I used to have a friend and we were really close. As we grew older, he moved to a different place and after many years I came to know that ...

Introduction Getting a job in the contemporary world proves to be a direct function of the relationship that one sets in the onset of an interview. If one is contextually able to exhibit a good relationship coupled with a positive and optimistic rapport with a tentative employer, then there is hope that if one gets employed, there will be a chance for a meaningful employer-employee interaction. Forging employer-employee relationships proves to be difficult for most people. Most of the jobs call for people to spend more time at work than they do with loved ones and family members. This ...

For example, a micro-theory in ethics could be described as ethical issues faced by an individual, like situations that provide conflicts of interest due to differences in beliefs and value systems. An individual who, due to his or her cultural orientation, follows a religious teaching that prohibits eating pork. As such, micro-theory examines the factors that could create ethical challenges for the person to defy or violate this belief. In so doing, the research should take into account his or her own ethical stance while conducting the study, as well as the well-being of the participants. Another example is ...

Consumer culture became a popular topic for sociological studies in the 1990s as academics realized that consumption was noteworthy, independent of its connections. Consumerism is a huge part of our society, so much so that it is difficult to separate it from everyday life as a phenomenon in its own right. There are many different sociological perspectives which can be applied to consumer culture; two such viewpoints are the Functionalist Perspective, which asserts that consumerism is necessary for the good of society, and the Conflict Perspective, which argues that consumerism only serves the corporations selling the products, and not ...

The science of Criminology is a relatively new field of science (Siegel, 2010). The beginnings of real criminology are noted with the Classical school of thought, whose scholars hypothesized that crime, is a result of the discerning decision and can be controlled with prevention strategies. (Hall, 2013) Since that time criminologists have developed, exacerbated, or grown new thoughts of why individuals perpetrate crime, including speculations that lead to biological, psychological, and sociological reasons for crime which we will discuss further. (Siegel, 2010) Some of the first attempts to explain crime were essentially biological in nature. Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso, ...

Environmental Sociology

Introduction The risk associated with significant projects like the construction if the Belo Monte Dam tends to be quite big. Risks tend to affect people in various aspects, for instance, there is a risk that affects people in the individual context and those that affect them in the general aspects (Mythen 2004, p. 11). However, the manner in which people deal with the possibility of an adverse outcome, especially in an investment like the big dam tends to differ depending on the magnitude of the risk. Though the risks related to the project can cause dangerous and catastrophic problems, ...

Introduction

According to the New World Encyclopedia (2016), a gender role is an arrangement of behavioral standards related especially with guys or females in a given social gathering or framework, regularly including the division of work amongst men and ladies and the orderly complex of kid raising and socialization forms driving youth toward developing to propagate a similar example. Sex based parts incidental with sex-based parts have been the standard in numerous customary social orders, with the particular segments and workings of the sexual orientation/sex arrangement of part division fluctuating extraordinarily from society to society. Sexual orientation part is a ...

INTRODUCTION

Throughout human history there has always been crime, from the most petty of crimes to the most heinous of criminal injury, abuses and murder. The most gruesome of crimes are those involving murder, whether premeditated or “heat of the moment,” which carry heavy criminal consequences. These cases are tragic, but no murders are more disturbing and shocking than those committed by serial murderers. These are killers who torture, dismember and murder victims in very specific and very ugly ways that are an extension of the killer’s needs. There have been many serial killers who have become famous for ...

Careful analysis of those two events resulted in few major outputs, namely: Disasters are special type of social phenomena. Those are dramatic historical events that involve social catalysts. They happen suddenly ...

Compare and contrast how conflict, functionalism, and interactionalist sociological theories view the social world and social interaction.

Different sociological theories perceive and interpret the society differently. Therefore, this essay analyzes how the three primary sociological theories, which include conflict, interactionist, and functionalist theories, view the society by comparing and contrasting their perspectives on the social world and social interaction. All the theories emphasize on the essence of different bodies in the community needing each other. In functionalism, the society, and its inhabitants are significant requirements for particular services and products. Therefore, there is a need for a government and justice system, and the production of services and goods is also important. In the same respect, interactionism ...

Juvenile Delinquency Reduction Efforts

Two of the most renowned juvenile delinquency reduction programs in the writer’s society include Adolescent Diversion Project and Aggression Replacement Training (ART). Adolescent Diversion Project aims to motivate criminals belonging to minor age category to adopt civilized and gentle behaviors. Such criminals are given special training in jails after they have committed a crime in which they are taught and made aware of the value of being socially responsible (National Institute of Justice, 2016). On the other hand, ART is mainly directed to prevent minors from aggressions through psychological training into different dimensions. They build social skills through ...

Early functionalists such as Durkheim and Spencer developed stage models of societal evolution which tried to explain the development of societies from simple to complex forms. However, these theories were largely abandoned in the 20th century because they proposed unrealistic theories regarding the evolution of societies. Thus, some critics accused evolutionary theories of being ethnocentric because they viewed all societies as inevitably evolving towards capitalism (Turner “Varieties” 164). Moreover, other theories were considered utopian because theorists such as Marx proposed communism as the next stage in the evolution of societies, after capitalism. After being dismissed for many years, the ...

Introduction

Chronic pain is associated with the pain behaviors that cannot be comprehensively explained from the biomedical perspective. Pain is a psychophysiological unpleasant sensory and perceptual experience provoked by injury or diseases (Talaei, Labbaf, Tabatabayi, & Barekatain, 2015). Chronic pain experience involves the perception of the unpleasant physical stimuli as well as the interpretation of the sensations of pain and evaluation of the experience as one that creates suffering. This means that chronic pain imposes physical, emotional, and sociological stress on individuals. The relationship between the emotional, physical, and sociological factors appears causal rather than simply correlational. In the past years, ...

If I were a correctional administrator at the boot camp, I would subscribe to the psychological, sociological and behavioral model of treatment for these offenders. I would prefer the use of this model rather than the medical model even though the medical model is more commonly used. This model is preferable because it will account for all aspects of the life of the offender rather than just the offender’s psychological status. Conducting a risk assessment of the offender and evaluating these factors can allow for a better understanding of the offender which would allow for treatment more specifically ...

Child Labor

The child labor issue exists in the whole world, both in industrialized and in developing countries. Experience has shown that child labor causes serious and sometimes irreversible damage to the physical and psycho-social development of children. Consequently, their primary socialization can be considered as complete one. Mostly children, who are getting involved into gob routine, are the representatives of vulnerable social groups, low-income families or single-parent families, both in the countryside and in the city. In order to discuss this topic broadly, it is essential to focus on particular subfields as: culture of poverty, moral theories and sociology of ...

There are many aspects in the history of humankind that were considered fair and acceptable during the past. However, it was actually morally questionable when it is applied in a modern context. The realm of life insurance is one of those cases. In the past, practices regarding life insurance can be considered unethical; it can be considered a relief that the practice has grown to change for the better over time to the point that it complies more or less with the standards nowadays. An in-depth analysis about the topic was made by Zelizer in her journal article entitled ...

“The Little Mermaid,” the 1989 animated film directed by Ron Clements and John Musker and released by Buena Vista Pictures, delves on the story of a mermaid who falls in love with a human being. This film is likewise a cartoon adaptation of the original version of the novel of the same title written by Hans Christian Andersen and first published in 1837. With regards to the Disney version, it is observable that the film incorporates several techniques that seem to diminish the innate animalistic nature of the aquatic creatures, such as the crabs, lobsters, octopus, the tropical fish, ...

Main post starting a thread: The Intersection of Poverty Discourses by Debra Henderson and Anne Tickamayer. Honest and open discussions on how racism, stereotyping and other forms of prejudice impact the lives of the poor are necessary in order to overcome the society’s resistance in assisting the categories of poor people labeled as ‘undeserving’, and in order to create more opportunities for these people to secure jobs, complete their education and to become self-sufficient. In their article, “The Intersection of Poverty Discourses”, Debra Henderson and Anne Tickmayer discuss the notions of deserving and undeserving poor. The undeserving poor, ...

Response Paper

According to Chapter 1 of the Podolny reading, for status to flow through exchange, there is need for the actors to maintain their reputation when it comes to exchange. This means that if an actor in the hierarchy of exchange has earned a good reputation over time, it is not worth ruining for in order to make quick profits from an item whose hype may be short-lived. Maintaining one’s reputation for a service ensures that every actor is able to maintain his or her image and position thereby making sure that the exchange of services flow seamlessly within ...

It is a well-known fact in today’s modern world that gender inequality is prevalent in almost all aspects of social life, whether in the smallest unit of society, such as the family, or in the broad expanse of the global community, impacting the life circumstances of each and every human being today, especially women. It is increasingly becoming apparent that the unfair practice of gender inequality is incongruently counter-productive in a globalized economic scenario. Despite decades of initiatives to resolve this problematic social issue, the problem still remains. In the earliest days of humankind more than a hundred ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

America is a diverse nation with people of all most all ethnic origins in the world. With this in mind, one would expect the country to be racially accepting. On the same note, a person would expect the cultural differences, races, religions, and other factors such as sexual orientations to bring the residents in the nation together. However, this has not been the case. Research shows that discrimination is one social problem that many people in the country have to deal with. The aspect of discrimination has created a notable social issue since many people are discriminated against on ...

It is a well-known fact that poverty is a constant companion of the human civilization. The humanity has been suffering for all the time of its existence, especially during the periods of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts and others, social conflicts such as war or revolution, as well as in times of economic and political crisis. Poverty is the lack of basic living conditions, the required set of food supplies that would ensure the humanity the normal level of existence.

INTRODUCTION

The American criminal justice system is a very complex entity that most people hope to have little interaction with. Most people will tell you that it can also be incredibly confusing. People become most invested in court proceedings when they are high profile cases that garner a great deal of media attention; some that many are familiar with include Amy Fisher, Casey Anthony and, certainly, the O.J. Simpson trial. Another case that became the center of media attention is the trial of Jodi Arias. Jodi Arias is a 32-year-old woman who is currently serving a life sentence, without the ...

According to IMF, Ethiopia is one of the firmest growing economies with approximately an average growth rate of 8.2%. The economy brightly expected to grow further. It grew 9.6% ...

A sociological theory of drug abuse and use views these phenomena as problems of the society rather than the individual, being due to economic, cultural, and social factors. In other words, sociological theories of drug abuse see the problem as external to the individual rather than internal or due to genetic and psychological conditions. The world around the individual is the source of the problem of abuse. However, in the sociological view of abuse, the cause of abuse becomes more abstract than in conventional views of drug abuse. Economic inequality has been proposed as a cause of drug abuse ...

Gay Marriage and Three Sociological Perspectives

Some people living in the society are in the favor of gay marriages, while some people are against gay marriage as they consider that such types of marriages exert negative influence on the society. People do not like concept of gay marriage because it paves the way to reduction and corroding of traditional marriages between a male and a female, and is also against the religious values and reasons. But, some people are of the view that gay marriages should be promoted as gays also have the right of getting married, and gay people committing marriages are significantly contributing ...

Since there were two films that had to be featured in this study (i.e. Salt and Crash) and two sociological concepts had to be discussed, the author of this paper has decided to allocate one sociological concept for each movie. Evidence of the said sociological concepts were obtained by analyzing at least two scenes from each movie, which means that there should at least be four scenes that can be found and analyzed in this paper. The sociological concepts were chosen mainly based on the central themes of each movie. For Salt, for example, its central theme appears to ...

Research Paper

Introduction The social world is as complex as the physical world. Due to such complexity, sociologists have made considerable efforts to explain various social phenomena through different sociological theories. One of the major sociological theories is functionalism, which has its origins in the works of Herbert Spencer and Emile Durkheim. The functionalist theory explains how societies survive and maintain social stability. It also explores dysfunctional events like suicide. This paper argues that functionalism can provide a reasonable and accurate explanation of the phenomenon of suicide since social factors, like excessive social cohesion or the lack of it and extreme ...

ABSTRACT

There are serious rising trends involving children and teens committing all sorts of crime, from individual acts to gang activity, all over the country.

Realistically, it is likely a combination of these different possibilities, making many of the causes of ...

Teenage boys may feel that girls are aliens, because they seem different, but in Neil Gaiman’s short Sci-Fi story, “How to talk to girls at parties”, the girls really are from another planet. The author humorously recounts the experience of two teenage boys, Vic and Enn, whose lack of experience around girls and nascent sexuality, cause them to ignore the visible signs that the girls they meet at a party are not from this world. Throughout the story, Enn, from whose perspective the story is told, is so focused on trying to talk to the girls he meets ...

Coming from a poor, or a low income family usually means that their education options are limited to public schools whose resources are limited. Even if a student does well academically, often they will miss out on getting into a top college because the resources available to them that would help them get there are limited. On the flip side, students who come from wealthy families often have college funds that their parents have put aside for them. Because of this, they are able to attend the more expensive colleges. In the United States employers tend to value employees ...

Ann Swidler coined the tool kit theory to note the influence that culture has on the shaping various habits, styles and skills that people use in the construction of strategies of actions and decision-making (Swidler 273). The theory is based on the notion of culture as something that can be used as a tool to make sense of the world. There are two models under the toolkit theory that show cultural influence i.e. the settled and unsettled cultural periods. It is imperative to note that in settled periods, culture individualistically affects action through the provision of resources that individuals ...

Smoking is a learned habit that has existed in the society for long. This allows us to understand how the habit affects health and wellbeing both. Though the country may make millions of dollars selling tobacco, it spends several times more on treating diseases caused by the smoking habit. Explain why sociology is useful in helping us to challenge the dominance of biomedicine and understand health and health care as shaped by biopsychosocial factors. The society we belong treats scientific knowledge as proven and reliable information to improve once understanding about the world we live. Biomedical understanding of diseases ...

The sociological perspective is a term that explains the sociological way of viewing human behavior in society. Sociologists use this in order to define, understand, and solve problems within our society. The sociological perspective helps sociologists understand what is going on in our society in terms of growth, deviance, unification, and stratification. It also helps them how common problems like crime could be solved. Furthermore, the sociological perspective helps sociologists to understand where we have been, in order to help us understand where we are now. Sociologists always build upon the foundations of what was learned before. The three ...

Criminal Justice

Introduction Criminological perspectives encompass several arguments that explain the cause of crime. Understanding the cause of crime is relatively important in solving criminality, which the various criminological theories tend to clarify. The discussion will highlight the three criminological perspectives namely trait, social, and classical theories. Each perspective will be discussed followed by an argument regarding the two sentencing models and determine, which of the models is a more effective approach in addressing crime. Lastly, the discussion articulates the sentencing model, which is likely to have the most potential in reducing crime while linking to the discussion on the various ...

Introduction

Food insecurities have existed since the beginning of time, but only since the development of structured society has the issue of poverty (i.e. lack of financial resources) been recognized as one of the underlying causes responsible for hunger, malnourishment, and subsequent death. Sociologists have spent years of research and exploration dedicated to understanding the intricacy of different societies, what components make them successful, and what shortcomings lead to their eventual collapse. Through this sociological analysis, we will explore three major social theories and their effectiveness in explaining why food insecurities still exist in modern, developed ...

Abstract

Ted Bundy, a known sexual psychopath and serial killer who murdered fourteen women in the 1970s is perhaps one of the best known criminal profiling cases ever known. Profilers proclaimed him to be a middle-aged Caucasian who would only take Caucasian women who were young themselves. He would be charming and calm prior to criminal activity before showing little restraint concerning his rage and sexual activity after secluding them at an undisclosed location. The profile also suggested he had transportation and was intelligent, but insecure. Law enforcement understood they were looking for a man who murdered based on trauma ...

Although love is usually categorized as an emotion, a variety of biological, psychological, and sociological factors determine with whom a person falls in love and how long that feeling lasts. For example, physical attraction depends on factors such as physiological arousal, the effects of pheromones, facial features, and similarity, but biological factors do not contribute to the development of long-lasting relationships because the initial attraction fades (Braxton-Davis & Boudreaux, 2010, p. 7). In other words, it is possible to fall in love with a person because of biological factors, but psychological and sociological factors determine if the feeling persists and ...
