Max Weber's theory of social stratification analyzed how social class, status, and political power interacted to determine people's life chances. Weber argued that social class was based on economic interests and wealth, while status groups were communities linked by shared lifestyles and prestige. Weber also identified three ideal types of authority: traditional authority based on longstanding tradition, charismatic authority based on personal attributes, and legal-rational authority based on bureaucratic rules and procedures. Overall, Weber emphasized analyzing stratification through multiple, interrelated factors beyond just economic class like Marx had.
Power theory in politics discusses who has the power to create political change. There are multiple theories of power, including Marxist theories, which argue that economic power translates directly into political power. The Marxist theories include the instrumental model, where those with wealth can directly influence politics, the arbiter model, where the working class has some power despite the interests of the wealthy classes, and the functionalist model, where the state and political institutions serve the economic interests of the wealthy class. The document uses these Marxist theories to analyze how Rupert Murdoch's media empire wields political power through biased news coverage in favor of issues supporting Murdoch's economic interests.
Weber’s theory consisted of:
That status and class do NOT always go hand in hand together.
social honor: which is a recognizable power.
Weber’s 3 types of political leadership:
Charismatic domination, Traditional domination, & Legal domination.
Status groups make-up the social order.
Classes make up economic order.
Parties make up political and legal order.
This document summarizes an article about patron-client politics and political change in Southeast Asia. It begins by explaining how patron-client relationships differ from class-based or primordial models of political association. Patron-client ties involve informal, reciprocal relationships between individuals of unequal status, where patrons provide protection/benefits to clients in exchange for loyalty/support. The document then discusses how patron-client networks penetrate and influence nominally modern political institutions in Southeast Asia. It argues that understanding these networks is crucial for comprehending non-primordial cleavages and dynamics of personal alliance that shape politics in the region. The article aims to clarify the nature of patron-client ties, how they vary, and how they have been impacted by
This document provides an overview of conflict criminology. It discusses how conflict criminology argues that the criminal law and justice system reflect the interests of those in power, rather than a consensus. Key theorists discussed include Sellin, Vold, Turk, Quinney, Chambliss and Seidman. Conflict criminology sees crime and the response to it as emerging from the inherent conflicts between different groups in society over issues like power, status and resources.
The document outlines several schools of thought within the conflict perspective on deviance and crime. [1] Structural Marxist theorists view crime and deviance as resulting from social and economic conflict between social classes. [2] Instrumental theorists see criminals as revolutionaries against systems of racism, sexism, and profiteering. [3] Radical theorists argue that the capitalist economic system intensifies disadvantages and increases deviance as the lower classes attempt to attain wealth.
This document presents information about different sociological theories of social stratification and conflict. It discusses Karl Marx's view that society is divided into two classes based on property ownership. It also summarizes Max Weber's three-component theory of stratification involving class, status, and power. The document then analyzes the structural-functional, social-conflict, and symbolic-interaction approaches to stratification in terms of their level of analysis and views on the fairness of unequal rewards. In conclusion, it states that different theorists have presented different perspectives on stratification and conflict.
Neo-Marxism rejects some key ideas of traditional Marxism. While traditional Marxists viewed workers as driven to commit crime out of economic necessity, Neo-Marxists believe individuals have free will to make choices. Neo-Marxists such as Taylor, Walton, and Young combine Marxist ideas about inequality under capitalism with ideas from labeling theory. They argue that some crimes, like theft, are a reaction to wealth inequality, while others, like vandalism, symbolically attack society's obsession with property. Neo-Marxists see crime as a conscious political choice to redistribute wealth rather than workers passively committing crimes out of necessity.

Theories of social stratification marx weberjdubrow2000
This document discusses key theories of social stratification put forth by Marx and Weber. Marx viewed social stratification as arising from one's relationship to the means of production, with society progressing through modes of production and resolving internal contradictions through class conflict. Weber emphasized one's class position, status, and party affiliation. He defined class based on economic factors and the labor market. Status referred to social honor independent of class. Parties represented shared class and status interests. Authority was legitimized traditionally, charismatically, or legally-rationally.
Robert Merton developed strain theory based on Emile Durkheim's concept of anomie. Durkheim argued that a lack of social norms and values, or "normlessness", during periods of social change could lead to suicide. Merton expanded on this, arguing that the cultural goals of American society, like the pursuit of wealth, could create strain when there were limited legitimate opportunities and means to achieve those goals within the social structure. This strain could lead people to adapt in different ways, including through conformity, innovation (crime), ritualism, retreatism (withdrawal), or rebellion. Merton's theory helped explain deviance as a result of the relationship between cultural goals and social opportunities in American society.
The document discusses different theories about the concepts of politics, power, and their relationship to society. It addresses pluralism theory, which views power as dispersed among various interest groups who influence politics and policy through bargaining and compromise. Elitist theory holds that society is ruled by a small, powerful elite who monopolize decision-making. Marxism views politics and policy as driven by powerful socioeconomic forces that structure choices and ensure policies protect capitalist interests and social stability. Overall, the document examines how different theoretical perspectives understand the nature of politics, power, and their basis in society.
Merton's strain theory attempts to address criticisms of Durkheim's theory of crime and deviance. Merton argued that an over-emphasis on cultural goals like material wealth without equal access to legitimate means to achieve them can lead to a situation of anomie or normlessness where people turn to deviance. Different social classes experience this strain differently based on their socialization and access to opportunities, leading some to engage in deviant behaviors like crime. While evidence from periods of social change support Merton's theory, it has also been criticized for assuming a value consensus and failing to explain non-materially motivated crimes.
C. Wright Mills was a sociologist concerned with how larger societal forces shape individual lives and history. He believed sociology is the intersection of biography and history, where personal experiences meet broader social, economic and political contexts. Mills saw contradictions within social structures as a source of problems, and analyzed the power structures of the military, corporations and government that converged. His work provided perspectives for both understanding society on a macro level and examining human interactions on a micro level.
The document discusses key aspects of conflict theory as proposed by Marx, Weber, Simmel, and modern conflict theorists like Coser and Dahrendorf. Some main points include: Marx saw society as divided between the bourgeoisie and proletariat engaged in economic class struggle. Weber and Simmel expanded on this to argue that power differences can also stem from social prestige and political influence. Modern conflict theorists examined how conflict serves functions like social change and group cohesion, and is an inherent part of relationships rather than instability. Power elites use coercion to maintain social order according to some views.
Parsons viewed power as serving collective goals that benefit society as a whole. Power differentials are necessary to organize society and pursue shared values and goals. Critics argue Parsons naively justified existing power structures rather than recognizing power is often used to benefit certain sections of society. Pluralist theories also viewed power as dispersed among competing interest groups and the government as a neutral arbitrator. Later elite pluralism recognized some groups like the working class are under-represented and economic groups have more policy influence, but power is still seen as diffused with no single dominant group. However, critics note pluralism only examines visible decision-making and fails to acknowledge power can also be exercised through agenda-setting and shaping dominant ideologies.
The document discusses conflict theory and its perspective on relationships. Conflict theory views relationships as being organized according to power imbalances rather than functional interdependence. It sees conflict as a natural result of inequality and unmet needs within relationships, and that addressing conflicts is necessary for change.
The conflict perspective views society as made up of groups competing for limited resources that are unevenly distributed, which causes tensions and conflicts that become agents of social change. It was originated by Karl Marx and later expanded on by C. Wright Mills, who argued that societies inherently have conflicts due to unequal distributions of power and wealth where dominant groups control social structures. Mills agreed with Marxist views of the importance of conflict in society.
The document discusses conflict theory and its origins with Marx and Weber. It introduces Dahrendorf's modern conflict theory perspective that society is in a constant state of change due to social conflicts between different groups. Dahrendorf believes that authority positions within social structures inevitably create conflicts of interest between superordinates and subordinates. Power imbalances and the threat of sanctions for disobeying authority perpetuate this conflict.
Conflict theory views society as composed of groups that compete for limited resources. Karl Marx saw society as fragmented with the powerful dominating the powerless for economic and political advantage. Social order is maintained through this domination. Functionalism, associated with Emile Durkheim, views society as composed of interdependent parts that work together to maintain stability and social order. While both see society's structure as influencing behavior and relationships, conflict theory focuses on inequality and power struggles between groups, while functionalism emphasizes how institutions like the family and religion foster social cohesion.
Pinning down Power in Ukraine Crisis: West versus RussiaBright Mhango
In February 2014, the people of Ukraine managed to topple their government by way of prolonged protest which was in part a call for the Eastern European nation to move closer to Europe and away from Russia.
The deposed Russian-backed President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych sparked the wrath of the Ukrainians by refusing to sign a ‘trade agreement’ that would have brought Ukraine closer to the EU. Instead he preferred closer ties with Russia which is sort of creating its own ‘EU’ called the Customs Union.
This paper posits that Ukraine has been a battleground for power both between the West and Russia (external power) and that of the state versus the citizens (Internal).
The paper will try to lay bare the various power struggles that were and are at play in the Ukrainian crisis and conclude that with the West looking like having won, the power play has only begun as Russia will not allow a nation so close to it and vital to its prestige get aligned with the West, its arch-enemy.
Before the Ukraine case can be tackled, it is essential to discuss the notion of power as it occurs in the discipline of International Relations. It will also feature a summary of two prescribed course readings on Power.
The social production of indifference exploring the symbolicMaryjoydailo
This document provides an overview and introduction to the book "The Social Production of Indifference: Exploring the Symbolic Roots of Western Democracy" by Michael Herzfeld. It discusses how democratic societies can seem indifferent to individuals and groups, and how bureaucracy can repress individuals while also claiming democratic ideals. The document introduces how the book will use an anthropological approach to examine how national identity and bureaucracy interact, and how people use conventional stories of bureaucratic unfairness to explain their experiences and maintain social relations.

The seven-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, Fox News star, and radio host Mark R. Levin explains how the dangers he warned against in the “timely yet timeless” (David Limbaugh, author of Jesus Is Risen) bestseller Liberty and Tyranny have come to pass.
In 2009, Mark R. Levin galvanized conservatives with his unforgettable manifesto Liberty and Tyranny, by providing a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for halting the liberal assault on Constitution-based values. That book was about standing at the precipice of progressivism’s threat to our freedom and now, over a decade later, we’re fully over that precipice and paying the price.
In American Marxism, Levin explains how the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture—from our schools, the press, and corporations, to Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Biden presidency—and how it is often cloaked in deceptive labels like “progressivism,” “democratic socialism,” “social activism,” and more. With his characteristic trenchant analysis, Levin digs into the psychology and tactics of these movements, the widespread brainwashing of students, the anti-American purposes of Critical Race Theory and the Green New Deal, and the escalation of repression and censorship to silence opposing voices and enforce conformity. Levin exposes many of the institutions, intellectuals, scholars, and activists who are leading this revolution, and provides us with some answers and ideas on how to confront them.
As Levin writes: “The counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. And it can no longer be dismissed or ignored for it is devouring our society and culture, swirling around our everyday lives, and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media, and entertainment.” And, like before, Levin seeks to rally the American people to defend their liberty.
Functionalism provides a normative definition of crime and deviance as actions that violate social norms. It views society as based on consensus around shared core values. Crime is seen as functional for defining boundaries and reinforcing social bonds, and as inevitable because not everyone will fully commit to social norms. However, functionalism does not fully explain individual motivations for crime or issues of power in society. It influenced Robert Merton's strain theory, which argues crime stems from a disjunction between cultural goals like wealth and the legitimate means to achieve them.
This document outlines three main sociological theories for understanding youth crime: conflict theory, functionalist theory, and symbolic interactionism. Conflict theory views society as composed of groups in conflict over power and resources. Youth crime is seen as resistance by the powerless to imposed mainstream values. Functionalist theory views society as a system where institutions promote stability and shared values. Youth crime results from individuals not properly internalizing societal values due to dysfunctional environments like poverty and inadequate schools. Both theories agree shared values are essential but differ on whether they are imposed or learned. Symbolic interactionism is not described.
Charles Wright Mills was a prominent American sociologist born in 1916 in Waco, Texas. He is known for his concept of the sociological imagination and critique of what he termed the "power elite" in the US. Mills argued that the sociological imagination allows one to understand how individual experiences are influenced by broader social and historical forces. He also posited that major decisions in America were increasingly being made by an interlocking network of leaders from the highest levels of business, government, and the military, rather than by a pluralistic system of competing interest groups.

HP's mission is to serve rural and urban poor communities. It is committed to the poor and values people. HP works on projects in areas like public health, sanitation, hygiene promotion and more with funding from organizations like ASA and Waste. It uses approaches like community participation, women's leadership, and entrepreneurship development. HP provides health services and holds eye care camps to help address blindness in Bangladesh. It aims to expand access to water, sanitation, and primary healthcare for poor communities.
A Comparison of Islamic & Capitalist Conception of Economic Justicejavaidomar
Abstract
a) Problem Statement and Objectives of Study: Islamic epistemological and metaphysical foundation is distinct from that of capitalism. Secular and Liberal discourse defines the basis of capitalism rather. Due to this the conception of economic justice in the two discourses is expected to differ substantially. A significant amount of literature on Islamic economics, finance and banking doesn’t seem to explicitly highlight this difference, having implications for policy makers and practitioners. Due to this perhaps the Islamic financial industry is measuring its performance as per the standards of its mainstream financial industry. This study would emphasize and elaborate these differences so that the concerned can correctly evaluate the outcome of their decisions and practices in the domain of Islamic economics and finance.
b) Research Methods: The paper will compare the theory of justice and economic justice in the two respective discourses. A conceptual analysis will follow to formulate policy recommendations.
c) Findings: The ideals of justice of both ideologies are two poles apart, and no overlap exists between the two at least at conceptual levels due to their contradicting epistemological and metaphysical positions.
d) Significance and Contribution of the Study: This would have implications for policy makers and practitioners while adapting structures, institutions, policies, frameworks, etc from capitalist system as they would have to be altered to an extent to make them compatible to advance Islamic conception of justice in Muslim societies, if that by any means is possible.

This document discusses Islam and justice. It notes that Islam means peace, purity, submission and obedience. It discusses how Islam has sympathy for the oppressed and punishment for oppressors. It also notes that true justice can only come from laws made by God alone as revealed in Islam, as human lawmakers are inherently biased due to personal interests. The document concludes that the only way to guarantee just laws is to follow the teachings of Allah and the prophets.
This slide program explains concept of justice in Islam. Definition of justice, its comprehensive nature is described in the light of Quran and Hadith. Its opposite, Zulm is defined and its 3 types are described.
Introduction to Islamic Economic Systemdawah_islam
This document provides an introduction to the Islamic economic system. It discusses key concepts such as zakat (mandatory charity), public ownership of vital resources, currency based on gold and silver, and a prohibition on interest. Zakat facilitates wealth redistribution from rich to poor. Public ownership ensures equal access to necessities and prevents monopolization. An interest-free system is evidenced by Quranic verses. Copyright and patents are also discussed. Overall the document outlines some of the fundamental principles of Islamic economics.
The document discusses Islam and capitalism, comparing their economic systems. Capitalism is based on private ownership and free markets but can lead to inequality. Socialism gives the state control but may lack efficiency. Islamic economics balances rights and responsibilities, allowing private ownership and markets with restrictions like prohibiting interest and ensuring equitable distribution and welfare. It aims to maximize well-being in both this life and the afterlife according to divine guidance.
The document discusses principles of justice in Islam versus capitalism. Key points include:
- In Islam, justice is derived from the Quran and Sunnah, while in capitalism laws are made by politicians.
- Islam defines strict rules for crimes, investigations, convictions and punishments based on Islamic evidence. Capitalism allows practices like torture and circumstantial evidence.
- Witnesses must be of high character in Islam, while capitalism accepts any witness. The burden of proof is also on the accuser in Islam.
- Rights and duties differ between men and women in Islam based on their natural attributes, while capitalism treats them as identical.
- Only the Islamic system of Khilafah can establish true justice by implementing laws
This document provides an overview of the Islamic economic system. It discusses the ideological basis of Islam compared to capitalism and socialism. The Islamic approach balances rights to private property with equality and justice. Key aspects of the Islamic economic system include equitable distribution of wealth through zakat and prohibitions on interest to prevent concentration of wealth.

Moral, Legal, and Religious Perspectives on Social Justice. In Chapter 1 of your textbook, justice is analyzed from three perspectives, each with its own set of relevant concepts. The text includes three case studies for consideration from each perspective. Select one (only one) of these case studies as the focus of your initial post in this discussion. Then analyze the selected case study from the justice perspective which accompanies it and answer the following questions.
a. If you select “Case Study 1.1 – Jacob Little and Walmart,” analyze it from the perspective of justice as a moral concept. Your analysis must address the following questions:
§ Did Walmart offer Jacob a just wage? Why or why not?
§ Was the alderman’s decision to let Walmart operate in the city just? Why or why not?
§ If you were the alderman, what would you do to more fully promote justice in the situation? Why?
b. If you select “Case Study 1.2 – Just Desserts?,” analyze it from the perspective of justice as a legal concept.
§ Was the court’s sentence for Mr. Allen just? Why or why not?
§ Was the court’s sentence for Mr. Brown just? Why or why not?
§ If you were the judge presiding over both of these trials, what would you do to more fully promote justice in them? Why?
c. If you select “Case Study 1.3 – Honor the Sabbath or Keep Your Job,” analyze it from the perspective of justice as a religious concept.
§ Did Chief Gerst treat Corporal Brown justly? Why or why not?
§ Did Corporal Brown act justly after his agreement with Chief Gerst? Why or why not?
§ If you were the Chief of TSU’s Police department, what would you do to more fully promote justice in the situation? Why?
The Justice of Climate Change. In Chapter 1 of your textbook, the author identifies the possible causes and consequences of global warming/climate change as emerging issues loaded with implications for justice. He also analyzes the concepts of distributive justice, commutative justice, and retributive justice and suggests their relevance to conversations about how individuals, businesses, and nations should respond justly to evidence of global warming. These conversations are made more difficult by acrimonious debates about the quality of the scientific evidence that supports global warming hypotheses as well as the motives and integrity of various scientists on both sides of the issue. “Case Study 1.4 – Getting Warmer?” illustrates this problem.
Familiarize yourself with the debate highlighted in Case Study 1.4 by reviewing the required resources for this discussion. Then apply concepts of distributive justice, commutative justice, and retributive justice to answer the following questions.
a. How should the concept of distributive justice influence the response of the United States to evidence of global warming? Why?
b. How should the concept of commutative justice influence your response, as an individual, to evidence of global warming? Why?
c. How should the concept of retributive ju ...
Answer the questions that follow in a short paragraph each 3-4 sen.docxamrit47
Answer the questions that follow in a short paragraph each 3-4 sentences Be sure to cite materials from the course. For example, if you are referring to an article that has an author, use the following citation format (Author’s Last Name, Year). If the article has no author, you can use the title of the article, or the title I’ve given it, in quotation marks (“Six Characteristics of a Democracy”, n.d.). Note that you use “n.d.” if the article or post has no date/year associated with it.
Discussion Questions:
1. In what ways are the values of individualism and communitarianism, although seemingly in opposition, both critical to a liberal democracy?
2. After reading the article on communitarianism, do you feel you follow the philosophical tradition of liberalism or of communitarianism when it comes to your view of democracy (note: Don’t confuse “liberalism” with “liberal” in American politics – you have to read the article to understand the meaning of liberalism in American political history).
3. In your opinion why did citizens vote in the latest 2018 elections in higher numbers than past mid-term elections? (Please consider your view in light of the trends noted in the FiveThirtyEight article in Week 1 e-resources (Dottle et al., 2018)
4. Why do you think other western societies vote at higher levels than Americans?
Commentary
According to sociologists, Bellah et al. in Habits of the Heart (2007) and social commentator E.J. Dionne (2012) in Our Divided Political Heart, there are two strains in U.S. history and the underlying set of values that are important to us as member of that society – individualism and communitarianism. Both have shaped our values and sense of who we are as Americans.
On the one hand, we are individualistic - intent in meeting our individual needs and pursuing our individual instrumental (material success) and expressive (personal non-material happiness) needs and goals.
On the other hand, we seek community - the sense of belonging to and active in a larger group and fulfilling the needs of the community and its members.
While individualism is more concrete and easier to identify, communitarianism is more abstract (though see the article on communitarianism in the readings, particular what the authors says about views toward political systems ability to achieve a “good life” other than democracy).
Social institutions fulfill social needs that drive both individualistic and communitarian tendencies in American Society.
Sociologists view social institutions (family, government, economic, education, religion, media) as socially created structures or organizational systems that function to satisfy basic social needs by linking the individual to the larger culture.
Today, some might argue that extreme individualism has become dominant. [Another position is that our society is currently dominated by tribalism or a sense of community based on in-group identities (those like "us"), and often at the expense and derogation of.
This document provides an overview of the breadth portion of a Knowledge Area Module examining theories of social change, specifically comparing Marxism and capitalism. It discusses:
1) The role of the individual according to Marx/Engels, Weber, and the early Plymouth Plantation community. Marxism sees individuals subordinating to the party, while Weber emphasizes individual responsibility and pursuit of a calling. The Plymouth colonists started communally but later adopted free market principles.
2) The theoretical process by which individuals can enact social change according to Marx/Engels, starting from local unions and developing into a national revolutionary movement.
3) How the writings of Marx/Engels, Weber, and the experiences of the Plymouth

A Marxist Analysis of Mass Media in the United States Print EditionDerek M. Lough
This document provides a Marxist analysis of mass media in the United States using concepts from Arthur Asa Berger's work. It summarizes Berger's explanation of key Marxist concepts like materialism, alienation, and class conflict. It then analyzes how the mainstream media and political systems have consolidated power and manipulated the public through propaganda and unlimited political donations following the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. Alternative media voices that critique this ruling from a Marxist perspective are also discussed.
This document discusses ideological division and its impacts. It argues that ideological division is a problem in the United States as people tend to segregate themselves and only associate with those who share their beliefs. They will agree with ideas based on their preferred political party rather than evaluating ideas individually. This leads to difficulties in accepting other perspectives and a lack of willingness to change one's views.
Conflict theory states that society functions through conflict between individuals and groups competing over limited resources. It views society as consisting of groups in conflict over power and resources rather than cooperation. Key aspects include inequality built into social structures that benefit those in power, change occurring through conflict rather than adaptation, and groups forming in opposition to pursue their own interests rather than cooperate for social benefits. Major theorists who contributed to conflict theory include Marx, who saw class conflict between owners and workers, and Weber, who argued multiple conflicts exist in society beyond class. Feminist conflict theory explains the oppression of women as benefiting men's pursuit of power. Modern approaches view inequality as producing conflict that can only be overcome through fundamental social transformation.

MAKING SENSE OF ABSTRACT THEORIES
Sociological theories are the core and underlying strength of the discipline. They guide
researchers in their studies; they also guide practitioners in their intervention strategies.
And they will provide you with a basic understanding of how to see the larger social picture
in your own personal life. A sociological theory is a set of interrelated concepts used to
describe, explain, and predict how society and its parts are related to each other. Let’s use
binoculars as a metaphor to illustrate the usefulness of a theory. Binoculars serve to
magnify, enlarge, clarify, and expand our view of the thing we are looking at. Unlike
binoculars, you can’t see or touch a theory, but it is a framework to help you “see” the
world sociologically. Some things you want to look at need 20x80 strength binoculars
while you might see other things better with 8x40 or 10x30 lenses. It’s the same with
society. Some things need the lens of Conflict Theory, while others need a Structural
Functionalist or Symbolic Interactionist lenses. Some social phenomena can be viewed
using each of the three frameworks, although each will give you a slightly different view of
the topic under investigation.
Theories are sets of interrelated concepts and ideas that have been scientifically tested and
combined to magnify, enlarge, clarify, and expand our understanding of people, their
behaviors, and their societies. Without theories, science would be a futile exercise in
statistics. In the diagram below, you can see the process by which a theory leads
sociologists to perform a certain type of study with certain types of questions that can test
the assumptions of the theory. Once the study is administered, the findings and
generalizations can be considered to see if they support the theory. If they do, similar
studies will be performed to repeat and fine-tune the process. If the findings and
generalizations do not support the theory, the sociologist rethinks and revisits the
assumptions they made.
Here’s a real-life scientific example: In the 1960s, two researchers named Cumming and
Henry studied the processes of aging. They devised a theory on aging that had assumptions
built into it. These were, simply put, that all elderly people realize the inevitability of death
and begin to systematically disengage from their previous youthful roles while at the same
time society prepares to disengage from them.1 Cumming and Henry tested their theory on
a large number of elderly persons. Findings and generalization consistently yielded a “no”

Understanding Cultural Society and Politcs- ECON-SOCIETYMicahTeatro
This document discusses economic structure and systems of stratification from sociological perspectives. It begins by outlining Karl Marx's view that the economic structure of society forms the real foundation on which the legal and political superstructure is built. It then examines Max Weber's definitions of class and status, distinguishing between them based on economic divisions and social honor. The document also discusses different systems of stratification like caste systems and class systems. It analyzes how education can provide social mobility but Philippine society still experiences continuity in political leadership recruitment from elite families.
The document discusses different theories and models of the state, including pluralist, capitalist, leviathan, and patriarchal theories. It also examines the roles of minimal, developmental, social democratic, collectivized, and totalitarian states. Finally, it addresses how globalization has impacted state power and sovereignty, with some arguing states have declined as international actors due to increased economic globalization and the rise of transnational companies.

IIA- FROM W. E. B. DU BOIS, BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA
“The theory of laboring class unity rests upon the assumption that laborers, despite internal jealousies, will unite because of their opposition to exploitation by the capitalists. According to this, even after a part of the poor white laboring class became identified with the planters, and eventually displaced them, their interests would be diametrically opposed to those of the mass of white labor, and of course to those of the black laborers. This would throw white and black labor into one class, and precipitate a united fight for higher wage and better working conditions. Most persons do not realize how far this failed to work in the South, and it failed to work because the theory of race was supplemented by a carefully planned and slowly evolved method, which drove such a wedge between the white and black workers that there probably are not today in the world two groups of workers with practically identical interests who hate and fear each other so deeply and persistently and who are kept so far apart that neither sees anything of common interest. It must be remembered that the white group of laborers, while they received a low wage, were compensated in part by a sort of public and psychol ...

Topic 9: Stratification—Functionalist and Conflict Theories
The word stratification is used a lot in the world of social scientists. It is a concept that rivals socialization in terms of importance; in fact, some consider it a major factor in how we learn to relate to the world.
So what does it mean? It is an intimidating word, but if you break it down to it’s root you find the word ‘strata’, and strata means one in a series of layers. If you look at where this root appears in other words related to the physical world, substratum meaning the underlying layers of the earth; stratosphere meaning the layers of the atmosphere, you can see the concept of layering quite clearly.
But what could this word mean in the social world? Think about it. How do we layer people within the social world?
The sociological explanation of stratification refers to a system or institutional patterns which society uses to rank groups of people. A person is typically placed within the different layers or groups in accordance to their access to valued and scarce resources.
Now that we have the sociological definition, lets move back to the question I asked a before—How do we layer or group or rank people in the social world? See how many ways you can list. The top four ways people are ranked in society are as follows; economic, religious, race/ethnicity and gender.
Which do you think is the most important way we categorize people? Which controls most areas of your life? Typically in American society we see economic class as the most significant, but this is open for discussion. The importance of these rankings varies depending on the type of society you are born into. We for the most part have been born or live in a capitalistic class based society—So it makes sense that economic class would be the most important determinate of strata placement.
Look again to the four main means of dividing or ranking people (religion, race/ethnicity, economic, gender). How many of these things can we change in our society? For the most part only two; religion and economic class. (I know with enough money the medical world can alter genders and skin tone, but no matter what procedures you have done legally your gender and race/ethnicity will remain the same.)
The categories that we have no control over and things we cannot change are part of what sociologists call an ascribed status. An ascribed status is one’s position in society is determined by something an individual has no control over and cannot change; like race and gender.
Whereas the categories that we have control over and can in some way change are part of what sociologists call an achieved status. An achieved status means that there are elements within a persons control that an individual can alter to alter their social ranking within the stratification system.
These two types of status’s are related directly to the two types of societies(open and closed societies), and the type of soci.
This document discusses the concept of "We Media" and how contemporary media has become more or less democratic. It provides learning objectives about We Media and where it has emerged. It aims to explore Marxist and conflict theories of media, including the ideas of Gramsci, Chomsky, and the role of media as the fourth estate of democracy. Key concepts discussed include cultural hegemony, Karl Marx's views on capitalism, and Noam Chomsky's theories about media control and democracy. Students are tasked with further exploring conflict theory through research and creating a mind map. Homework involves creating a fact page about Chomsky's theories on media and democracy.
This document summarizes a research paper that applies a Marxist lens to analyze D.H. Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers. It begins by introducing Marxism as both a philosophical theory and school of literary criticism. Key Marxist concepts discussed include the base-superstructure model, how the economic base determines social classes and ideology, and how Marxists view art and literature as reflecting the dominant ideology. The paper then examines how themes and forces in Sons and Lovers are shaped by materialistic and capitalist forces in English society at the time, and how characters are motivated by their social class and economic needs within this system.

Over 600,000 frozen embryos are stored in the United States, some of which are subject to embryo adoption agreements that transfer embryos from one party to another for implantation. These agreements have led to legal disputes about the legal status of embryos and whether they can be adopted. One such dispute, McLaughlin v. Lambert, is described in an article that discusses issues of commutative justice related to embryo adoption contracts and how principles of broader social contracts may influence the interpretation of specific contracts.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Pressured by assignments? Let experts at superbessaywriters.com write

In Chapter 2 of the textbook, the author describes meanings for the
concept of socio-economic class and analyzes how perceptions of justice
may be influenced by class distinctions in American society (see Section
2.4). He also references the related views of two provocative and
thought-provoking contemporary scholars. Robert H. Frank provides an
economic analysis, and Charles Murray offers a socio-cultural
interpretation. In this discussion, you will summarize the perspective of
one ofthese scholars and evaluate its relevance to understanding how
class influences beliefs about justice. Review the questions below and
select one (only one) of these scholars as the focus of your initial post.
a. Robert H. Frank. Debates about distributive justice among economic
classes often characterize the outlook of the rich as libertarian, the views
of the poor as egalitarian, and the perspective of the middle-class as
utilitarian. This over-simplified framework may translate into conflicting
ideologies about the role of government in achieving economic justice.
On one extreme are libertarian proponents of the free market and on the
other extreme are egalitarian proponents of socialism. In the middle are
a variety of “mixed” approaches to the role of government in the
economy that promote utilitarian concepts of distributive justice – the
greatest good for the greatest possible number of people. Cornell
University economist Robert Frank, in his recent provocative book, The
Darwin Economy: Liberty, Competition, and the Common Good, rejects
– but not completely – both the libertarian and egalitarian extremes.
Instead, he advocates a new role for government that encourages
individuals toward self-interested economic behavior that also advances
the economic welfare of all members of the community. In your initial
post, summarize Frank’s arguments – both his criticism of the libertarian
and egalitarian extremes. Then, analyze his proposals on how to achieve
greater economic justice for the whole community. Finally, evaluate the
2. superbessaywriters.com
relevance or usefulness of his views for understanding how economic
class differences may influence perceptions of distributive justice. Do
you think his views may be appreciated as just by rich people? Poor
people? Middle-class people? Explain your conclusion. To help you

understanding of the rights and responsibilities of all parties to the basic
social contract that holds a society together. On one level, the U.S.
Constitution might be characterized as part of the social contract on
which the American political system is based. But on a deeper, more
fundamental, level, the social contract includes shared values which
shape our expectations of others and ourselves with respect to morality,
culture, self-reliance, and collective responsibility. Charles Murray, a
political scientist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, calls
into question the relevance of the social contract which he sees as the
source of “the founding virtues” on which American civic life depends.

America, 1960-2010,he argues that “Our nation is coming apart at the
seams” – “not ethnic seams, but the seams of class” (Confessore, 2012).
He focuses on what he sees as the social and moral collapse of the white
working class and the growing cultural gap between them and the white
upper class. In your initial post, summarize Murray’s description of the

justice. Do the white working class and the white upper class no longer
have a shared understanding of the rights and responsibilities of the
basic social contract? Explain your conclusion. To help you successfully
