MK383_Assignment_2.docx
The document discusses differences in family structures across cultures, comparing families in Britain and Pakistan. In Britain, the typical family is nuclear, with married couples and their biological children, though divorce has become more common resulting in more single-parent households. Gender roles remain somewhat traditional. In Pakistan, the most common family structure is an extended one of multiple generations living together, with women joining the male's household and divorce being stigmatized. Obedience to elders and family duties are emphasized over individualism. Businesses must understand these cultural differences to market effectively in different countries.

Proposal For Carlos
Juan Hernandez proposes building housing developments in the Americas to suit the needs of retiring Baby Boomers. This large and affluent generation is looking for affordable places to retire with access to healthcare, finances, communication, education, and recreation. Developments need to provide a quality lifestyle as well as opportunities for work and learning to engage this active generation. Meeting Baby Boomers' needs could attract many retirees to relocate abroad.

Poverty
Almost half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day, and about 21,000 people die daily from hunger or hunger-related issues. Poverty traps people in a downward cycle, as they cannot afford enough food and become too malnourished and sick to work, making them even poorer. While there is enough global food, the problem is that hungry people lack money to buy food. Children from poorer backgrounds also fall behind in education and have worse health outcomes.
The Generational Progression
The document summarizes 7 generations in American history from the Lost Generation to the current Homeland Generation. It provides brief descriptions of each generation, including key events they experienced as children, young adults, and elders. The generations covered include the Lost Generation, G.I. Generation, Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), and the Homeland Generation.
Mississippi 100413144130-phpapp02
Mississippi has a population of around 3 million people, with Jackson as its capital city. It has a majority white population of 61.4% and a significant black population of 36.3%. While it has recently trended Republican in presidential elections, it has competitive partisan makeup overall. Mississippi was once one of the wealthiest states due to cotton plantations and slavery, but suffered economic collapse after the Civil War. It remains one of the poorest states today, relying on federal subsidies and industries like casinos and cotton. Mississippi had an extremely troubled past with race relations, including violent incidents and lack of black political representation, and still has issues with racial inequalities today.
Family diversity lesson
Family diversity in the UK has increased over time. There are now many different types of family structures, including cohabiting couples, lone parent families, reconstituted families with step-parents, and same-sex families. The reasons for increasing family diversity include industrialization, higher rates of divorce and remarriage, more women working outside the home, and greater social acceptance of alternative family forms. The 2011 UK Census found that less than half of households consisted of married couples, while over 10% were cohabiting couples or lone parent families.
The african family
The document discusses the history and challenges facing African American families in the United States. It describes how slavery made it difficult for African American slaves to form family units and the high mortality rates further complicated family formation. Over time, African American families developed their own system of kinship that emphasized extended family and community. However, policies in the 20th century disproportionately impacted African American families and removed children from their homes at higher rates due to biases in the system. Research shows African American children are overrepresented in the child welfare system today.
Chapter 12 Marriage
This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on the family. It discusses how sociologists define family and how the traditional concept of family has changed over time. It also summarizes research showing increasing diversity in family forms, including rising rates of divorce, single-parent families, and LGBT families. The document contrasts functionalist, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionist views of the family and its role in society.
AS Sociology: The Rapoports
The document outlines 5 types of family diversity identified by Rhona and Robert Rapoport:
1) Organizational diversity refers to differences in family roles and structures such as joint or segregated wage earning.
2) Cultural diversity accounts for differences between ethnic and religious groups' family structures.
3) Social class diversity influences family structure and child-rearing based on income differences.
4) Life-stage diversity means family structure depends on people's stages in the life cycle such as with newlyweds or retired couples.
5) Generational diversity exists as attitudes change over time between older and younger generations regarding issues like divorce and homosexuality.
Caroline Miller Visual Imagination Project
The document poses a series of sociological questions about various topics including: the influence of media on body image; the relationship between eating disorders and TV watching; how birth rates and family structures affect careers; the impact of parenting on child behavior; the role of family ideals in attitudes toward same-sex marriage; the demographics of home ownership; how location affects environmental views; and the connections between sports, politics, and drug use. Many questions also probe the influences of advertising and role modeling on behaviors like drinking.
Changing family
The document discusses changes in modern families including:
1) More births are now occurring outside of marriage, around 44% in 2006 compared to around 9% in 1971, though many unmarried parents still live together.
2) Living alone has increased significantly, with around 1 in 3 households now containing only one person compared to 1 in 20 in 1901. Younger people are also more likely to live alone.
3) Marriage rates have declined in Britain while cohabitation without marriage has increased, with over 1.5 million cohabiting couples not marrying. Attitudes toward cohabitation have become more accepting.
Mu current event population_growth
On October 31, 2011, the world's population reached 7 billion people. Some countries celebrated this milestone, while others viewed it with concern due to the environmental and resource strain of continued rapid population growth. The population is projected to reach 8 billion by 2025 and 10 billion by 2100. Many worry that the population is growing most in poorer countries that have fragile environments and limited resources to support more people. Solutions proposed include increasing access to education for women and family planning services to slow population growth rates.
Application one power point
The document discusses the realities of class in American society. It argues that while class is rarely acknowledged openly, it has significant impacts, including on health, education, and life outcomes. There are large wealth disparities between the top 1% and the rest of the population. Success and social mobility are influenced more by one's class background than the myth that only hard work is required. Class differences determine many aspects of people's lives from birth until death.
Sociologypresentation
This document discusses gender stratification and the roles of men and women in society. It notes that while men are biologically larger and stronger than women, society exaggerates these differences by portraying men as taller and more powerful. It defines gender as the personal traits and social positions associated with being male or female by a society. Transgender refers to those whose gender identity does not align with their biological sex. The document provides examples of how media and advertisements reinforce traditional gender roles by depicting women as passive and dependent and men as strong and independent. It also discusses how certain high-paying jobs and political positions are still predominantly held by men, showing that gender stratification continues in many areas of life.
DoesRacismStillExist
The document argues that racism still exists in the United States today, but may present itself in more subtle ways. It claims that two of the biggest threats facing black communities are abortion and lack of access to quality education. The document provides statistics showing black women have higher abortion rates and black students often receive poorer quality education and face harsher discipline than white students. The author argues this shows racism is still hindering the success of black communities, even if it is not as overt as in the past.

Overall, Millennials are described as civic-minded, optimistic, and bringing technology and teamwork skills to the workforce.
Fun Facts About US Seniors
About 12% of seniors use dating apps or websites, which is less than the overall 27% of all adults who have used online dating. About half of seniors, around 50%, use Facebook with the platform becoming increasingly popular among older age groups. Some notable seniors who remained active in public service well into their 80s include Benjamin Franklin and Susan B. Anthony. Florida is a popular retirement state for older Americans due to factors like warm weather, low taxes, and other retirees choosing to live there as well. North Dakota has the highest percentage of residents aged 100+ years old.

Immigrants have long contributed to America's prosperity and culture through hard work and assimilation. However, recent trends toward dual citizenship are concerning. Some immigrants form insular communities and send money abroad, hurting the US economy. Dual citizenship can also promote feelings of alienation and distrust of mainstream American culture, potentially encouraging radicalization. For the welfare of the country, immigrants should embrace single allegiance to the US and encourage their children to assimilate fully into American society.

Alston, Philip [2017] Statement on Visit to the USA, UN Special Rapporteur on...
The UN Special Rapporteur visited the US to examine extreme poverty and its impact on human rights. Through meetings across multiple states, they observed many living in deep poverty without access to basic needs. While some local initiatives aim to help, US policies are exacerbating inequality and poverty rates remain high compared to other wealthy nations. The Special Rapporteur concludes that extreme poverty persists in the US due to a lack of political will to address its root causes, including an undermining of democracy, illusory emphasis on employment, and shortcomings in basic social protections for vulnerable groups like indigenous peoples.
American culture

The American work culture is both professional and casual, with flexible schedules, an informal atmosphere, and employees treated as equals who are welcomed to share independent views.

America is unique
America's unique capitalist system makes universal healthcare and education difficult. While America leads in GDP, its education system lags globally due to diversity and an emphasis on competition over cooperation. America also uniquely values both fast food over health, and organic food over environmental damage. Rap and country music uniquely arose from American minorities and rural groups expressing their experiences. American sports fanaticism is unique, with political messages and emphasis on college athletics. American news is uniquely delivered through both politically skewed cable and unbiased online/social media sources.
Eating Pattern in America - Case study
The document discusses changing demographics in America. It states that America is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, with minorities projected to make up over half the population by 2044. Much of this change is driven by immigration, with Hispanics and Asians being the fastest growing ethnic groups. The typical American household is also changing, with over 38 million single-person households and more single parents. Younger generations like Millennials are even more diverse racially than previous generations. The middle class is shrinking as fewer families are moving up economically. These demographic shifts have implications for retailers as they aim to cater to changing consumer markets.

Race and Ethnicity
The Power of Society
Is our choice to cast a vote for a particular candidate a purely “personal” decision?
In the 2016 presidential election, 58 percent of non-Hispanic white people voted for Donald Trump.
If only white people had voted, the election would have been a Republican landslide.
But Hillary Clinton received overwhelming support from Asian Americans (65 percent), Hispanic Americans (66 percent), and especially African Americans (88 percent).
If only these categories of the population had voted, the election would have been a Democratic landslide of historic proportion.
The political choices people make when they vote in elections are not simply personal preferences, but they also reflect race, ethnicity, and other societal factors.

The Social Meaning of Race and Ethnicity (1 of 4)
15.1 Explain the social construction of race and ethnicity.
Race
Socially constructed category of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important
Meanings and importance of race vary across time and place.
No society contains biologically “pure” people.
There is more genetic variation within each racial category than between categories.

Figure 15–1 The Coming Minority Majority
According to projections from the Census Bureau, the United States will have a minority majority in the year 2044, less than thirty years from now.
By that time, as the figure shows, the white, non-Hispanic population will actually decline, as the number of Asian Americans, African Americans, and especially Hispanic Americans increases.
What changes do you expect this trend will bring to the United States?

National Map 15–1 Where the Minority Majority Already Exists
Racial and ethnic minorities are now a majority of the population in four states—Hawaii, California, New Mexico, and Texas—as well as in the District of Columbia.
At the other extreme, Vermont and Maine have the smallest share (about 6 percent) of minorities. Why do you think states with high minority populations are located in the South and Southwest?

Figure 15–2 Bogardus Social Distance Research
The social distance scale is a good way to measure prejudice.
Part (a) illustrates the complete social distance scale, from least social distance at the far left to greatest social distance at the far right.
Part (c) presents the overall mean score in specific years (the average of the scores received by all racial and ethnic categories).
These scores have fallen from 2.14 in 1925 to 1.44 in 2001, showing that students express less social distance toward minorities today than they did in the past.
Part (d) shows the range of averages, the difference between the highest and lowest scores in given years (in 2011, for instance, it was 1.08, the difference between.

It also examines kinship patterns, authority structures, and trends in household composition in the United States over time. Functional, conflict, interactionist, and feminist views of studying families are introduced. Trends in marriage, divorce, and diverse lifestyles such as cohabitation and remaining single are also summarized.
Diversity Awareness, An Overview By Penn State
This document provides an overview of diversity awareness. It discusses three trends that have made diversity an important issue: the global market, changing demographics in the US, and a changing concept of what it means to be American. The US population is becoming more diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, age, ability, and other dimensions. Understanding diversity will help people interact effectively in an increasingly multicultural society.
