    > The sociological perspective is described as seeing the general in the particular. In this essay I will attempt to apply the sociological perspective to analyze song lyrics from the first verse of the song My Block by Tupac Shakur (see appendix for lyrics). Tupac (1971-1996) is the most famous gangster rap artist of all times. He was well known for his lyrics and their ability to express the grief of the Black community. He was an advocate for Black rights and very much against the societal system and class societies. Many say he exaggerated the conditions under which the Black community and the lower class were in because he was a wealthy man rapping about suppression. To other’s he was part of the petite-bourgeoisie, but he was consistent in attempting to better the conditions under which the lower class were in.…

    Compare and contrast conflict theory with structural functionalism. Pay special attention to the way that each theory treats the origin of social change. When it comes to the origin of social change the conflict theory and structural functionalism differ in many ways. Structural Functionalism stresses that society as whole, including the individuals, families, educational system, politics, and the economy come together to create a functioning society. But, if any one part of these social institutions experiences dysfunction then the whole society pays a price as if it were a domino effect. For example, if families fail to discipline their children, schools, churches and the courts must take up the slack. In the end, whether it is a positive or negative change, the society as a whole must adjust in response to a transformation in a social institution. Conflict theory does not see society as a whole coming together well for one purpose. The conflict theory proposes that conflict and tension are the basic facts of life and are what make up social change and ultimately society as a whole, but it puts more emphasis on class conflict (bourgeoisie vs. proletariat). Together, both of these theories are from a macro analysis perspective.…

    In economics an Oligopoly is when there are just a few independent suppliers of a specific product. By having a limited number of suppliers this allows the suppliers to control the products price and supply thus creating a sellers market. The seller’s market keeps the product price and availability among all of the companies the same and makes the competition between each company equal. When there is only a few suppliers of a product the companies advertise heavily to promote their company and services allowing…

    My paper titled toys and gender, is based on the toys of today and how they relate to gender socialization. I decided to go to the local Wal-Mart in Cookeville, Tn. I chose this store because it is a worldwide known large retail store. I concluded that it would be a good store to analyze because it is thought of as a family store where many families go to shop. Therefore, I knew that there would be a wide variety of toys to analyze and collect data. I went to Wal-Mart December the 3rd. I analyzed the toy sections of Wal-Mart and how the toys are associated with gender, color sound, types of play they encourage, types of interactions they cause, and what they prepare children for. With the exception of preschool toys that were sometimes offered in gender-neutral packaging, kids’ toys were largely segregated into different aisles according to gender. And within those aisles, the markings of gender were clear. The “girls’” section resembled the aftermath of an explosion of Pepto-Bismol. In the “boys’” section, there seemed to be a profusion of aggressive, hyper-muscled, weapon-wielding action figures. And in both realms, the majority of toys seemed to be explicitly tied to movies and television…

    While watching the film there were many moments that struck me as interesting. The first moment that struck me the most was when Jean Reynolds, who is a 51 year old, certified nursing assistant, daughter said she had cancer. That she would not live for long because Jean could not afford to get her daughter treatment. The second moment that struck me was when Barbara Brooks, a 36 year old, single mother said that she was “hustling backwards”. She wants to provide for her children, and is even trying to get further in her education to accomplish this. However every time she advanced there would be something that pulled her back. For example when she got a raise then they took some of her benefits away.…

    Homelessness is a topic I can relate to very well, coming from a poor background and living from paycheck to paycheck has caused me to be out of residences for over ten months.It was very hard to comprehend, living under a hotel with my two daughters taught me to seek out and learn what causes homelessness.Having a background of being a nurse it was hard for me to live without a roof over my head.My oldest daughter was pregnant at the time and had no adequate health care , so it was tough for us.I am petitioning for credit from Excelsior College toward my degree in the Health Sciences department.This class will meet one of my health sciences cores.I learned a lot from being homeless.Writing is my best subject and talking with several ladies over the years who was homeless with smaller children made me learn that being homeless is a social disease and sometimes not a mental disease.Associating homelessness with mental illness does tie in for some people.…

    It is hard to believe that it’s been almost thirteen years since Saudis and al-Qaeda operatives attacked our nation on September 11, 2001. In his article entitled “Language, Symbols, and Media,” Robert E. Denton Jr. expresses these components in their relation to 9/11. Although the consequences of 9/11 remain, the language, symbols, and media provide insight into the impact this specific day had upon our cultural, social and political life today.…
