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 supporters of Rick Perry are justified regarding the case against Rick Perry as partisan and political since the charges imposed on him were unwarranted and weak (Weber n.p). The two statutes used to indict Governor Perry are a reminiscent of the old Soviet Union, in this case, the abuse of authority issue. The issue of accusing him only because he issued a threat to veto sending does not qualify for criminal indictment. The constitution of Texas grants Perry the authority to veto bills hence he cannot face prosecution for utilizing his lawful and constitutionally given power. Accordingly, the ...

In What Ways Were the Romans Heirs to the Greek Civilization?

Introduction There is a consensus among scholars that the major influences of the Roman culture were the Greeks. Among the major proponents for this theory are authors, Roy Matthews, Dewitt Platt and Thomas Noble; and the renowned historian, Eugen Weber. In their book, ‘The Western Humanities, Volume 1: Beginnings through the Renaissance,’ Matthews, Platt and Noble developed the idea that Western culture, which developed from the Romans, was actually a product of the Hellenistic culture that dominated the Mediterranean region in the past (Matthews, Platt, & Noble, 2010). Similarly, in his video instructional series, ‘The Western Tradition,’ Eugen Weber presented ...

The history of film, much like any other industry throughout time, has largely been male-dominated, with the vast majority of opportunities and accolades going to male filmmakers. However, it is important to note the influence of women in the film industry, and the sorely underappreciated role they have throughout the history of cinema. When tracking women directors through the 100+ years film has existed, their impacts and struggles has ebbed and flowed in surprising ways. From the silent film era’s breadth of opportunities to modern filmmaking’s slow but steady infiltration of women directors today, female filmmakers have ...

Weber’s theory of Authority features three types, all of which are aimed towards creating an awareness of how authority is legitimated as a belief system. This paper compares and contrasts the three different types while also identifying their individual strengths and weaknesses.

There’s No Such Thing as Society

Everything around us from our devices and gadgets we cannot live without to factories and corporations is our society. Peoples’ behavior, interactions, and choices form, or construct, the society.

Karl Marx Karl Marx attempted to look at religion from an objective and more scientific perspective, and he termed it as a form of economic injustice. According to him, it is used by those who intend to oppress others by making things and situations to look better when they are not.

The bureaucracy acts in behalf of those people who empowered it to manage the public affairs. ...

Having a look at the food industry in the USA, the conflict theory is quite revealing. The industry appears to have mimicked so many promotional links with industries that manufacture toys ...
