How and why have socialists endorsed collectivism? Socialism defines collectivism on the grounds that human beings have all the capacity of human being for collective action. In this way, socialists reject the liberal idea of a self-sufficient and self-contained human creature as well as 'atomised society'. A collective, unified collection of social creatures is capable of overcoming social and economic problems by drawing on the power of the community rather than individual effort. Socialists, therefore, endorsed collectivism to strenghten the idea of fraternity - society is desired to work together while being bounded by sympathy and comradership, that are believed to symbolise the the bonds of common humanity.
Functionalism, Marxism and Feminism are all sociological theories that all take a structuralist approach to society. They all agree that society shapes us. However, their views on how this is achieved are very different. Functionalism is a consensus approach and focusses on everyone agreeing on the same shared values and functional prerequisites. On the other hand, Marxism and Feminism are both conflict approaches and believe not everyone agrees or has the same shared values, but that they are forced upon us.
Society Society Functionalism Functionalism holds that everyone and everything in society, no matter how strange it may seem, serves a purpose. Functionalism is an approach that sees the social institutions in society working in harmony with each other. Functionalists believe that our society works together with each other in institutions/groups such as; the family, the education system or legal system, with each of them having a social role or position in their society. Everyone has a function within society. Everyone must put something into society and if you put something into society, you will gain something back.
Norms guide all human activity, so the concept of Deviance is quite broad itself. I have seen both Deviance and Beliefs shape the society we live in today. This has helped me gain the capacity to evaluate my own behavior. No ones approval is needed in society one should always remember that ideal culture always differs from real culture while remembering that everyone has responsibilities to others. Sociology lets us define and explain human behavioralism such as Beliefs.
Next with Liberalism, we have the duty to help. Some libertarians are utilitarian’s and believe that sharing maximizes utility and happiness. Others are deontologists who argue that we have a duty to take surplus and give it to those less fortunate. Some deontologists have beliefs that the less fortunate have a right to the surplus. Finally, there are radical egalitarians, believing that all resources should be redistributed even if it means everyone is at risk for malnourishment.
Using Material from Item A and elsewhere, asses the contribution of functionalism to our understanding of families and households. (24 marks) Functionalist, a structuralism approach who believes our behaviour is determined by society, they believe behaviour is constrained social forces and government and the individual is made and controlled by society therefore according to this approach every individual is a product of society. Functionalist theory belongs to this approach and takes a consensus view. This is the agreement that every shares the same values and society works in harmony. Functionalist believes every institution has its own purpose in order to exist.
Eventually Owens returned to Great Britan and supported to unite all labor unions. Owens created the beginning of Public Companies, which are run by the government, such as Health Care and Mass Transportation, but there is private property that is what you own is yours no one else’s. Like Socialism, Communism is an idea that revolves around the fact the government is a representation of the people; but unlike Socialism not only are the big companies public, everything is. In Communism there is no private property everything is run by the government and what you get is determined by them. It all started with a person named Karl Marx.
The Declaration itself states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness." We can't do that. We can't even marry who we want anymore!
“to make the world a better place, we have to extend democracy to every level of society @presidentobama #people” * This is significant to the Socialist Action Party because they believe that the government should give equal finance oppurtunies to all levels of society. The party would like for everybody to be treated the same and everyonce should be offered the same thing. You cant just extend democracy to a certain group of people, you have to extend it to everyone. 6. “modern history is divided between the working class and the capitol class” * This is significant to the Socialist Action Party because people in the USA are divided by working titles, and this party wants to deplete that.
Capitalism as it is defined right now is wrong. It should not be defined as a economic policy or as a govermental theory, nor as a social contract or giving up rights for the benefit of all becouse it is exactly the oppisite. Capitalism is about the freedom of choice and the freedom to know that 2+2 is equal to 4. It is about the given right to be able to study interests and to be allowed to share with the world yourself. Before I go on let me define schoolbook capitalism a little further.
