Outsiders are creations of societal and individual beliefs and perception. They arise from our feelings and attitudes about ourselves and those around us. The construction and subsequent treatment of outsiders are explored in Markus Zusak’s novel ‘The Book Thief’ and John Lee Hancock’s ‘The Blind Side’. Both these texts emphasise the fact that ultimately it is our perception of self and others that lead to the creation of outsiders. Both Zusak and Hancock depict characters that are forced to the fringes of society and those who feel ostracized and withdrawn from the larger group.
Discrimination is a main issue in John Whyndam’s, The Chrysalids. People get hurt for being different and get discriminated against. In this community people get into trouble for being different. They get separated from family members and their family’s get discriminated against too. The people who are different get sent to the fringes.
These are the SDoH which include social and economic status, employment and income, housing, education, life opportunities, race and racism, gender, access to services, behaviours, nutrition and lifestyle (Marmott, 2005, p.1102). Calma (2007) identifies the SDoH for Indigenous Australians as a reflection of historical factors of treatment and dispossession. These are associated with poverty and inequality in the Indigenous Australian population. Further noting 'human rights principles and social determinants of health are fundamentally connected'.

Social Disorganization Question and Answer L.J. CJA/384 Criminal Organizations August 7, 2012 Social Disorganization Social disorganization is defined as an inability of community members to achieve shared values or to solve jointly experienced problems. According to Shaw and McKay (1942), social disorganization references the conditions in the urban areas that were the only places the newly arriving poor could afford to live, in particular, a high rate of turnover in the population and mixes of people from different cultural backgrounds. Social disorganization theory specifies that several variables including residential instability, ethnic diversity, family disruption, economic status, population size or density, and proximity to urban areas all play a role in the theory. This paper will serve to make an attempt to correlate the similarities of the social disorganization theory and organized crime, and evaluate the similarities of the political machine and organized crime as they apply to social disorganization.
Social closure means an individual is unable to move up or down the social ladder. There have been many changes in society that contribute to social closure such as the decline in heavy industries and an increase in service industries. This is coupled with the decline in traditional class alignment and people’s perceptions of themselves and class. And in modern day society we still see that it is the poorer people that are unable to be socially mobile. THEORIES In an attempt to explain class stratification there have been many different sociological perspectives.

The Passing by Nella Larsen, Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson, and We Wear the Mask by Paul Lawrence Dunbar all relate to race. The three stories explain how the characters are outsiders to society due to the race they betray to be a part of what was considered to be a more tranquil race or easier situation.

Social disorganization creates negative attributes of social control in racial or ethnic groups through normal convention means of unreliable support to enable individuals to resist from committing illegal actions. This type of dysfunctional aspect allows individuals to experience negativity within communities that reduces the desire or motivation factors needed to maintain social organization and conventional (contemporary) characteristics. Social disorganization is created by immoral dedication or partnership from community population
