Postmodernism has contributed to sociologists' understanding of crime and deviance in today's society in the following ways:
1. It has challenged modernist meta-narratives and conceptions of what crime is.
2. Sociologists influenced by postmodernism see crime as socially constructed and dependent on context.
3. Postmodern theories emphasize issues like globalization, state crime, and the changing nature of surveillance in understanding crime and deviance in contemporary society.

Here are explanations of the crime depicted in the video clip using different sociological theories:
Functionalism: The crime fulfills the important function of venting social tensions and frustrations, maintaining social equilibrium.
Sub-cultural theory: The youth have developed a subcultural set of values that glorify violence, risk-taking and criminal acts. Their behavior is a way of attaining status within their peer group.
Labelling theory: Through the negative labeling and stigmatization of being arrested, the youth have internalized a criminal identity and see this type of behavior as expected of them based on how others define them.
Marxism: The youth are acting out due to their marginalized class position in society
Compare And Contrast Two Criminological Approaches To...
The document compares and contrasts the classical and positivist criminological approaches to understanding crime. The classical approach views crime as a rational choice, while the positivist approach sees it as influenced by biological and psychological factors outside an individual's control. The document examines these two major theories, their origins in the 18th and 19th centuries, and some criticisms of the classical rational choice perspective.
Cyberanthropology
This document describes a research project called CyberAnthropology that aims to analyze how the internet impacts human beings and societies from an interdisciplinary perspective. The project brings together anthropological, philosophical, sociological, political and legal questions to understand how humans understand themselves and structure their lives in virtual environments. Previous research has either taken an abstract media philosophy approach or focused on empirical user behavior studies, without developing a broader theoretical framework. The project seeks to fill this gap by developing a systematic theory of CyberAnthropology to examine changes in people's lifeworlds and new forms of participation online from multiple disciplinary lenses.
Crime and deviance_revision_guide
The document outlines different sociological theories of crime and deviance. It discusses functionalist theories including Durkheim's ideas about crime serving both functional and dysfunctional purposes for society. It also discusses Merton's strain theory and how it explains crime as a response to blocked opportunities. The document then discusses subcultural theories proposed by Cohen, Cloward and Ohlin which see crime emerging from working class youths' frustration with blocked opportunities and their adoption of delinquent subcultural norms as an alternative way to gain status.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dean Kruckeberg and Katerina Tsetsura at an international research conference on global public relations as a communication subfield. The presentation discusses the challenges of unprecedented changes in global society due to rapidly evolving communication technology. It argues that public relations must reconsider its existing theories and paradigms to address issues in the 21st century global environment, where power differentials are changing and boundaries are porous. The discipline needs a broader scope and multidisciplinary approach to reconcile cultural tensions and provide normative guidance for practicing public relations globally.

Toward a Sociology of the Network Society
Manuel Castells
The Call to Sociology
The twenty-first century of the Common Era did not
necessarily have to usher in a new society. But it did.
People around the world feel the winds of multi-
dimensional social change without truly understanding
it, let alone feeling a grasp upon the process of change.
Thus the challenge to sociology, as the science of study
of society. More than ever society needs sociology, but
not just any kind of sociology. The sociology that people
need is not a normative meta-discipline instructing
them, from the authoritative towers of academia, about
what is to be done. It is even less a pseudo-sociology made
up of empty word games and intellectual narcissism,
expressed in terms deliberately incomprehensible for
anyone without access to a French-Greek dictionary.
Because we need to know, and because people need
to know, more than ever we need a sociology rooted
in its scientific endeavor. Of course, it must have the
specificity of its object of study, and thus of its theories
and methods, without mimicking the natural sciences
in a futile search for respectability. And it must have a
clear purpose of producing objective knowledge (yes!
there is such a thing, always in relative terms), brought
about by empirical observation, rigorous theorizing,
and unequivocal communication. Then we can argue
- and we will! - about the best way to proceed with
observation, theory building, and formal expression of
findings, depending on subject matter and methodo-
logical traditions. But without a consensus on sociology
as science - indeed, as a specific social science - we
sociologists will fail in our professional and intellectual
duty at a time when we are needed most. We are needed
because, individually and collectively, most people in
the world are lost about the meaning of the whirlwind

we are going through. So they need to know which
kind of society we are in, which kind of social processes
are emerging, what is structural, and what can be changed
through purposive social action. And we are needed
because without understanding, people, rightly, will
block change, and we may lose the extraordinary
potential of creativity embedded into the values and
technologies of the Information Age. We are needed
because as would-be scientists of society we are posi-
tioned better than anyone else to produce knowledge
about the new society, and to be credible - or at least
more credible than the futurologists and ideologues
that litter the interpretation of current historical
changes, let alone politicians always jumping on the
latest trendy word.
So, we are needed, but to do what? Well, to study the
processes of constitution, organization, and change of

INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL STUDIES.ppt
Cultural theories of mass communication developed in the 1950s-1960s as alternatives to limited effects theories. Cultural theories focus on how media affects culture and social norms rather than individuals. They include micro-level cultural studies theories, which examine how groups use media to create new forms of culture, and macro-level critical/political theories, which analyze how elites use media to maintain power and propagate dominant ideology.
Cartographic school
The document discusses several schools of criminology including the cartographic school. The cartographic school used maps and statistics to study the relationship between crime and environmental/social factors. It examined crime patterns in different areas and time periods. This school introduced early spatial analyses of crime and how geography influences criminal behavior. It influenced the development of modern crime mapping techniques used by law enforcement.

How To Write A Personal Essay For High School W
The passage discusses the neuromuscular junction, where nerves meet muscles, allowing movement. It explains that nerve impulses from the brain travel through motor neurons to muscles. For muscles to contract, nerve impulses cause synaptic knobs to release acetylcholine into the cleft between the nerve and muscle. The acetylcholine then tells muscles to contract. Research on the neuromuscular junction aims to better understand transmission between nerves and muscles and diseases that impair this transmission.

Key Concepts in Media Studies Lecture 2 Mass culture/ mass society theory
This document discusses the theory of mass society or mass culture, which argues that modern society has led to a loss of traditional communities and moral structures. It is proposed that popular culture now fills this void, but is seen as "fake" or "surrogate" by this theory. The theory criticizes popular culture and media studies, seeing them as less authentic and valuable than "high culture" forms like classical art and literature. The document aims to explain this influential theory and argue that media studies takes a different approach by examining popular culture objectively rather than making value judgments.
