Sociology takes a different approach, as it stresses that individual problems are often rooted in problems stemming from aspects of society itself.
Problems do tend to come from more than one thing, if you really think about it. We just have learned to blame problems on someone else.
Liberal feminists view gender inequality as arising out of gender differences in socialization, while Marxist feminists say that this inequality is a result of the rise of capitalism, which made women dependent on men for economic support. On the other hand, radical feminists view gender inequality as present in all societies, not just capitalist ones
Do you think gender inequality exists in all societies? Why do you think about a woman in todays times being economically supported by a man?
Thus functionalism emphasizes the importance of social institutions such as the family, religion, and education for producing a stable society.
Family, religion, and education place key roles in producing stable societies. Religion sets a lot of standards for people, but family does also. How far you go in your education makes a difference in you experience and expertise in a certain topic, which impacts your life.
If this cultural standard did not exist, far fewer American women would suffer from eating disorders than do now.
I think that that is an old standard for today’s times. Eating disorders are something that will be hard to solve and probably always be an issue.
When only a few people are out of work, it is fair to say that their unemployment is their personal troubl
If only a few people are having trouble dinging a job it is far to say it’s a personal problem. It’s not enough people to say it’s a social problem, unless other factors come into play.
The natural history of a social problem consists of four stages: emergence and claims making, legitimacy, renewed claims making, and alternative strategies.
What part of a social proof you think we are at in reference to companies changing or not having any diversity, equity, or inclusion policy or programs? Do you think this will spark more protests or boycotting?
This stage may involve a fair amount of tension between the social change groups and these targets of their claims.
Do you think with all the new executive orders that tensions will rise? What kind feelings do these orders bring to mind?
provocative implication: Just as a condition or behavior may not be considered a social problem even if there is strong basis for this perception, so may a condition or behavior be considered a social problem even if there is little or no basis for this perception
We are currently dealing with a lot of social constructionism with the executive orders. I feel a new social problem is developing and an old one will be reinvented.
Although men were sometimes arrested and prosecuted for rape and sexual assault, sexual violence was otherwise ignored by legal policymakers and received little attention in college textbooks and the news media, and many people thought that rape and sexual assault were just something that happened
At one point in time married women could not refuse sex with their husbands, and the husband could use force and not be charged with rape. Los it took a while for men or male children to be considered raped.
The reasons for these consequences are often hotly debated, and sometimes, as we shall see in certain chapters in this book, sometimes the very existence of these consequences is disputed.
I can see where diversity, equity, and inclusion is already a social problem. I can also see that the perception is the suggestion that we no longer need to have any standards, which will lead to more issues.
