Therefore, he suggests that there is a need for the society to embrace risk communication to enlighten the society. However, this can only be achieved if this is done in a descent and rational manner. This, to the author, is the only way through which such disasters can be ultimately eradicated. It is true that that the prevailing environmental conditions have made life more difficult for people. Surprisingly, it is those who make no contributions to environmental degradation who suffer most. I concur with the author for making such a claim. The dangers associated with pollution result into diseases such as cancer ...

Introduction

The media may simply refer to tools of modern communication. In the past the media was less developed and communication was so limited. With the various technological advances, the media developed and made it possible for people to share social, economic and political information from different parts of the world. By so doing, it reduced the world into a global village. Brian Winston gives an explanation of how the media was born and how it developed over time to be what it is today. However, his explanation has attracted so many critics who have found that whatever he advocates for ...

Studs Terkel documents the words of Stephen Cruz who is reminiscent of his past days from the time of college. Cruz, a Mexican immigrant, toiled hard to get the better of his contemporaries in work and joined a MNC after getting educated in management and engineering. He was an individual who strongly believed in the American Dream. He thought that he could climb the ladder of success with his talent and hard work. He soon realized the discrimination against the minorities. Although he was earning much, the stereotyping and discrimination bothered him. He changed jobs only to find himself in similar ...

Kimmel has managed to illustrate a critical point on society and masculinity. The idea that a “man” should always have a strong and countenance devoid of weak emotions like crying is valid to many societies today. Unconsciously, the society has become accustomed to the predictability of manhood that no one seems to focus on the emerging male stereotypes. As a male child grows, the family bestows on him certain levels of faith of manhood that synonymously coincides with the predictions of Kimmel. In my life as I grew up, for instance, my parents kept chiding any attempt of constant crying. Of course, they ...

During holocaust, many innocent people were killed. These killings were done by people who were under the instruction of the government. It is due to these killings that Stanly Milgram decided to conduct experiments known as obedience to the authority to find out it was possible to conduct such massive killing of the ordinary people in the society. The finding from these experiments is very useful in explaining the reason for the massive killings.

Obedience is a common thing especially in society where we have very powerful leaders. When people are very powerful, the others tend to obey their commands ...

This article provides a comprehensive review of the article by Lin (2002). This article addresses how media portrays racism and its influence to lifestyle and health. A sociological approach to the problem of racism is applied, arguing that the society needs to understand the different forms of racism, biological origin of racism, and its meaning in the society. Therefore, sociological concepts such as ethnocentrism, race, and ethnicity can vastly influence media’s perception on racism. The three concepts have different meanings, but are all related and can influence health practitioner’s ability to evaluate media’s coverage of racism issues. ...

Children having children

The article ‘Children having children’ by Claudia Wallis aims at drawing society’s attention to the problem of teen pregnancy. Throughout the twentieth and twenty- first centuries, raising of this issue may seem corny. However, people have realized the negative effects of being an under-age parent and started reacting to the problem not a long time ago. Surely enough all the consequences are caused by certain reasons. Accordingly, the author is aimed to find out and investigate both – the reasons and the consequences of teenage pregnancy. One can find a lot of causes mentioned in the article, though a low ...

Conservatism based on Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly’s Works

Conservatism can be defined as a social and or political philosophy that favors the retention of traditional social orders and institutions. This means that in a typical argument between liberals and traditionalists, conservatives would vote for the retention of established dogmas, principles, and institutions, emphasizing the importance of continuity and stability. Following the Second World War, countries, not just the United States, have made great progress in making reforms, either to their existing social, economic, and or political orders. While this may be something that would immediately alarm the conservatives, both Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly presented good points of explanations ...

Introduction

I chose this article because it examines the fundamental issues in contemporary society. This is so because it examines the cultural ideologies that degrade the old age in society. These cultural norms are motivated by the media, which attribute the female body with consumer culture. Therefore, society should realize that aging is a sense of maturity and should embrace it as a Self-identities associated to the appearance and performance of the bodies. Similarly, aging should be based on feminist and gender ideologies because it cut across gender, race and class in various societies.

Summary

The article uses a feminist approach to explore aging ...

In Virginia, land conservation happens on private lands. Private lands conservation is a voluntary move by landowners as they exercise their right to determine their land use. Land conservation provides land owners with a tool to continue existing uses of land as they benefit from financial planning alternatives. Arguably, this strategy benefits the landowner and at the same time protects picturesque and working landscapes. Notably, protecting the natural landscape and cultural resources of Virginia is essential for economic viability of the state, as well as, the public well being. However, this will only become harder with continued increase in population. Virginia ...

Children are new beings in this world and do not know anything about it. This leaves them with no option other than relying on the society in order to learn about the world. They look at what parents do and hence they start behaving like them. The learning process of a child is a psychological process that takes place in stages. The history of childhood explains that children come into this world as models that are ready to be shaped into anything. The process of being a leader begins from childhood, the role models and the social set up facilitates these characteristics ( ...

Wang Yun’s play A Dream of Glory; talks about a woman who wants to become a man and display his powers before the world. Wang Yun, a Chinese dramatist of the eighteenth century, could have been influenced by a number of incidents that took place in China during the century. The patriarchal system must have played a dominant role in eighteenth century China where men had all the liberty to choose the life they wanted while women were confined to domestic roles. As the name of the play signifies, A Dream of Glory can be juxtaposed to the glorious life of men, and ...

The above is a confirmation and admission of sorts on the widely held view and conception of racism and gender specifications. It stems from the fact that there are certain jobs and occupations that are concerned to be common in certain races while others are not considered to be same. Specifically, it stresses on the fact that the immigrant workers especially the Asian and Latina women commonly secure jobs in areas of manufacturing. It includes being helps in restaurants, hotels, offices, convalescent homes, private residences, and others which are not regarded as highly in the human society. It is important ...

An individual is the basic unit of society for most Western democracies. As such, laws and the execution of laws (one form of justice) in these societies focus on individual rights. Justice can be seen as two parts. Justice is one sense is reparations, or punishment that a society inflicts upon an individual. This essay looks at texts of Martin Luther King, Sigmund Freud and Thomas Jefferson in order to ascertain each of their guiding philosophies on what consisted of individual rights and justice. Each of them falls in line in a very particular philosophical school of thought with regard to ...

Who will say that technology has not made life easier? I guess only the backward minded persons might say that. Before the emergence of technology, with the various technological development, the world has been a better place. Technology in many industries has made life livable. It has made life adopt the very meaning of. Assume that the world was with no technology, how could we be surviving. Probably might have adopted to the situation by then but would not be as efficient as it currently is. A technology free world would be boring with very little to do apart from ...

Introduction:

The article talks about how the different ethical perspectives in the most modern world have lead to different answers to many problems. It seems that everything can be justified using the modern ethical theories as promulgated by John Stuart Mills and Immanuel Kant. It is the approach, or the perspective of looking at the things that leads to a different answer every time. In other words, there is no definitive answer to the ethical dilemmas. For example, the author of the article cites the example of closure of General Motors plan in the United States of America. He states that ...

According to research, racism is not a thing of the past, but is rampant even now, in today’s society.

It shows empirical evidence by way of researches and tests that were done, by a wide cross-section that determined that racism is still alive and well.

Question 1

In the article What Is Internalized Racial Oppression And Why Don’t We Study It? Acknowledging Racism’s Hidden Injuries written by Karen D. Pyke, it becomes clear that internalized racism is neglected by society and it remains misunderstood. It is a factor that has led to racial inequality and if that taboo is defied then zoology will succeed in exposing the effects of racism. Internalized white racism affects all the other races that are deemed inferior and this affects every facet of life majorly on the social lives of many people. The author bases her argument on the responses ...

The article by Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld is a conversation the authors led with recognized New York chefs Andre Soltner and David Chang. The main topic of the conversation was how the time has changed the face of American cuisine.

Introduction

Essentialism or the idea of an essentialist in gender is founded on the belief of the late 1960’s that women should be minors and their jobs primarily relating to housewives, they included saying nursing say teaching. This is called an idea or the belief of an essentialist because people assumed that women, being women had limited skill sets that were present by their gender. Carole Vance looks at this idea of a social constructionist theory, and then looks at it again against the essentialist theory in the setting or the background of feminism. Essentialism as a tool of identification is. ...

One of the pertinent issues that have always been debated among historians has always centered primarily on its cases. The effects have been debated, and these tend to bring a consensus view that the Civil war led to a massive change in the social, cultural and economic realms of the society. In other cases, however, there have been divergent views all trying to depict the possible causes of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln one of the senior personalities to have reflected on the causes of the Civil War took a very bold move by asserting that the cause of the Civil War ...

Reading mama Lola has made me understand that religion is all about observing certain religious believes rather than just being part of a religious sect. Every religion is directed towards a supreme being, yet the religious proceedings are dependent on where an individual was brought up. Many times, people condemn others for observing certain religious rituals, terming them evil, yet they do not understand the reason behind it. One unique feature about religion is that anyone who dedicates his or her life to it feels it is the right form of religious worship. Religion plays an important part in an individual’ ...

In the competitive business environment, business must employ strategies that will ensure its survival and relevance in the market. The business must make sure its products reach all its consumers both rich and poor in the society. Additionally, it must assess the market to evaluate how its previous strategies have position the business in the market and check whether to employ a new strategy or not. Thus, if the previous strategies have not brought any significant improvement of the business in the market, then it would be wise to change tactics of doing business. One of the strategies a business can ...

Introduction

The narrative by Frederick Douglass presents an argument against slavery. The theme of the narrative revolves around this issue and to a large extent, Douglass seeks to portray the negative impact that slavery has to the development of the society. According to the narration, although the slaveholders thought they were benefiting from the practice, the real fact was that they were hurting themselves more than they thought.

Discussion

Douglass thinks slaveholding has a damaging effect to both the slaves and to the slave owners. He describes the slave owners as having irresponsible and corrupt power. This, he argued, had an effect that ...

In the article Katrina Shows Racial Divide in America, the author Jamal Watson, reintroduces the issues of racial inequality that exists in the USA. Watson uses the historical ladder to describe the position of African-Americans in the modern society.

According to Watson (2007), "In my experience, many people outside America ...

SUMMARY

BOURDIEUSIAN THEORIES
The very famous French sociologist & philosopher, Bourdieu, gave theoretical ideas with researches done, that relates to everyday life. His theories were the ones meant for practice and his contributions to sociology were incredible as it was both theoretical & had practical evidences.
When it came to people or groups he refused any idea other than uniting the society & its people. He was completely against the idea of giving someone extraordinary importance vision, that usually comes into a picture imposing itself whenever it comes to a discussion between individual & society. Being a writer means inserting oneself completely into the literary ...

The term penalty is used about a form of imposition that is authoritative on individuals or group of people. The imposition, in most cases, is usually unpleasant and undesirable to the people to whom the imposition takes place (Roberts & Mark, 15-45). During the period of the industrial revolution, criminal activities increased significantly. Punishments that were meted on criminals were severe and as time passed, the masses become more conscious of the punishments to administer. Prisons and other legal modes of punishments cropped up with society viewing the eighteenth century punishments and their practitioners as being less civilized.
In the ...

The first essay that I have read was devoted to the case of Lady Purbeck. In my opinion, this is a very strong essay. The author has provided strong evidence to support one’s point of view. Besides, I liked it that the essay is full of quotes. This means that the author has researched the topic thoroughly. Another strong side of the essay is that the author has researched the topic from different points of view. On the contrary, there are several suggestion. First, it would be better if the religious issue would have been discussed and researched more thoroughly. Besides, it ...

Althen in this article, offers advice to foreign students in America. The first thing they have to understand the individualism aspect of Americans. The environment they have been exposed to makes them to perceive themselves as separate thus taking responsibilities for their own situations for their destinies and life. This is because they have not been brought up in a society that is communal as such, when young, they are taught to be independent. They are satisfied by freedom. The Americans have accepted this as their culture though it is received with disbelief by non-American cultures.

Blumenfeld, having been gay himself, takes a look at homophobia from a critical perspective in as much he runs into the risk of holding and expressing biased opinion on the matter that has since become a common feature in debates especially in his home country, the United States. The writer expresses his reservation in the manner in which homophobia is being propagated by those who feel threatened by it. He also speaks to the fact that many are probably missing out on the ignored opportunities that present themselves during this time. Blumenfeld talks of the nature of the social ...

This article gives highlights of the way sexuality was perceived in the seventeenth century. It is clear that sexuality was characterized by a lot of frankness where people could just talk about sexual practices without any secrecy. The codes regulating the sexual practices utterances were more lax in the seventeenth century compared to those of the nineteenth century. The children were engaged in the affairs of the adult without any concern or fear by their parents. The article therefore gives more emphasis on the way the issue of sexuality was perceived both in the seventeenth century as well the nineteenth ...

Critical review of Men and Masculinities in Modern Africa

Nwando Achebe gives cases of women in Africa who have been able to occupy a variety of leadership roles. She states that traditionally women mainly held power due to their relationship with the particular rulers especially as mothers, sisters or daughter to the rulers. She moves ahead and illustrates his assertion by giving examples of women who were guided by great leaders who in most cases were their close relatives. For instance Ahebi Ugbabe, among the Igbo, assumed royal powers and dressed in the king’s attire pending the installation of the next ruler (Lindsay, Lisa & Miescher, 53). This illustrates ...

The article gives us an overview of the sleeping Eros, which is a Greek goddess of love. Since the discovery of the sculpture, it was transported and put in a museum. People from all walks of life travel just to behold how the original image looks like. This has also seen the modification of the sculpture as many artists come up with what they believe is a modern representation of the goddess. The sleeping Eros has been reproduced through paintings, wood and stone carvings and placed at strategic areas. Apart from its archaeological significance, it also has spiritual significance to the Romans ...

Patrick tells a story of high academic performance being passed down generationally in a family. He seems to believe that since one is from a family where most members have succeeded academically they must also perform outstandingly. This is a distorted view as there are so many other factors that determine ones academic abilities rather than family or background as people are born different, go into different schools and also undergo various difficulties at personal level.

Indeed, the article further advances the argument that gender constructions of women in the western society cannot be used to explain the gender construction of women in China. The article notes that women issues were for a long time disregarded in the development discourse in China. In earlier ...

Response to On Dumpster Diving

Lars Eighner’s article “One Dumpster Diving” is surprising for a number of reasons. In the first, when we throw something out, we usually consider it to be something that no longer has any value. We do not think about the lives that our garbage leads after it has been tossed. If we do imagine it, we imagine it is sitting on the mound of some great mountain of garbage in a dump. It surprised me to realize that there is a person, and actually a whole sect of people whose lives survive off what value they can get from what society has ...

The ‘Perils of Obedience’ by Staley Milgram (1973) apparently looked similar to any other experiment in the field of Psychology that would produce numerous findings to validate an assumption. However, when I read the experiences of the subjects along with the association of the experiment with the real world, I realized how it grasps my attention to things that have always been an integral part of my life and the society. This experiment has its roots in the Holocaust where upon accusing Eichmann of the atrocities, his response was in terms of being obliged to the authority. In this ...

After taking time to read the articles it was clear that children and the definition of children have radically changed over the course of time. The social role of children including how the general society perceive childhood depends on the prevalence of a dominant environmental norms. For instance, in 19th century children seem to have no definite conclusion of what a real childhood is all about because of how the society portrays childhood in poverty, exploitation and slavery (Clarke). On the other hand, such trend diminishes as the dawn of the century approaches and with the emergence of the industrial revolution, ...

Question 1

A community is composed of a set of individuals. In order for it to develop, each individual should be socially conscious and responsible towards the society, as it is a core of their existence. Social responsibility according to Vanasupa is about refining the quality of relations with key stakeholders. Vanasupa further states that individuals have societal obligations to fulfill and in that way harm or help themselves or others. Engaging in acts that may impair oneself or others should actually not be classified as a social responsibility. It is more of being irresponsible and may bring retrogression to the contemporary society.

Media Article Critique/Analysis

The revolution in the world currently, especially in technology enhances interaction among people that has transformed global activities. The working of all the modalities in the world presently revolves around the bounds of technology. Technological revolution centres hold the sources of information in the current society, which assumes a strategic position in the transformation of the current situations (Pittman 206). However, revolution occurs in a multicultural society that comprises integrated cultures among the societies. Critique of Douglas Kellner’s article, "Media Literacy and critical pedagogy in a multicultural society," gives an insight on the effective strategies that society should adopt to deal ...

Technology is advancing at an alarming, almost exponential rate; as human progress increases, so does technology, and its effects on our society become somewhat more truncated. Vincent Mosco, in his article “When Old Myths Were New: The Ever-Ending Story,” notes that human society has a tendency to repeat history when it comes to technological advances; with each new stop, we hail our latest invention to be the be-all end-all for communication technology, ignoring that we have done that many times before. According to Mosco, “there is indeed a remarkably willful, historical amnesia about technology, particularly when it turns to communication and ...

Rite of passage refers to the occasion or an event that classifies an individual to have transition from on stage of life to another. This activity encompasses Clitoridectomy, rite, Circumcision, and infibulations. It is valued and treasure within the community. It normally commemorates or rather celebrated through performance of fork dances and songs to entice the entire event. It exists in between the current or present time and the standing reality. The rites of passage classified into different distinct forms namely territorial passage whereby a person is required to go by certain set formalities (Kasomo, 2010). The other type of ...

- The postmodernism that defines the current society has lost the sense of religion and has became more focused on the “self”, which defines an individualized spirituality, entrenched in the scientific developments and in three aspects that are specific to the western world’s universalizing tendencies: economy, politics and cultural. Each of these social spheres are representative for the individual’s interests in the nowadays society and in this context social work is also seen in Mel Gray’s work as stepping away from its focus towards religion into adapting to a much more scientific approach, becoming a science in itself.

Reflective Commentary

The paper targeted challenging the scholarly and civil consensus supporting same sex marriages. Particularly, my researcher paper was aimed at making the reader rethink of the idea of same sex marriages from diverse perspectives. Although legally acknowledged in a number of states, same sex marriages lack moral bases and go against the natural rule of law governing the universe. Same sex marriages affect the healthy growth of the community and children adopted into such institutions. It is evident that they stain the moral fabric of the society into a generation that compromises on the right of a society to thrive in a morally ...

The essay is a true reflection of our reality. The education system is no longer what it used to be, it is not all about ensuring that the students have achieved their goals but it is more of a business. There is an increase in the number of colleges and also an increase in the intake but the quality of education is decreasing. This is because management of the colleges is no longer interested in making the students achieve, it is no longer an up close and personal relationship it is all about the money.
According to a college report presented ...

Summary of the article/introduction

Baudrillard mentions that postmodern simulacra and simulation are no longer a question of imitation but rather an analysis of how images of the real are substituting for the real. However, he does not suggest that the postmodern culture is fully artificial since the concept of artificiality still needs some sense of reality against which to recognize the deceit. To simulate refers to the pretence of having what one doesn’t have while the opposite (dissimulate) refers to the pretence of not having what one has. However, simulating is not pretending since it threatens the difference between reality and imagination while ...

Speakers who are distinctly blessed with the art of speaking have a way of communicating that with no doubt many people identify with. One such orator and icon of the black people in America is Malcolm X. he may not have been alone because others suh as martin Luther King Junior were also so good in speaking their minds out but Malcolm X stands out as a very persuasive orator because he had a way of speaking his mind strongly without mincing words. He could also point out facts without fear of being intimidated neither by the society nor by the government.

Emile Durkheim is remembered for many ideas that he brought in the field of Sociology. Among the ideas that he came up with are the ideas about time and ritual. This quotation falls under his ideas of time and ritual. Therefore, after reading the quotation, it is apparent that we comprehend what he essentially meant.
In this quotation, what Durkheim is meaning is that a religious group is essentially not a ritual precautions simple group that a human being is held to take in given circumstances at given periods of time. He in fact means that it is a system of varied ...
