Do classical approaches to class remain relevant to contemporary societies? Your answer should refer to the work of Marx and/or Weber. ‘The word class has been used to describe broad and diffuse groupings within a national population that are seen as forming a set of layers or strata in a hierarchy, as in the terms ‘upper’, ‘middle’ and ‘lower’ class’. (Crompton and Scott, 2000, pg.1) Class has been a key subject in sociological debate. Recently however the debate has shifted from the classical questions that Marx and Weber were asking over a century ago- How is class defined?

Police History Paper CJA 214 April 10, 2012 The first officer in the history of policing went out on duty with very little education, not any training and weapons any sort. There were no two ways, dispatcher, and patrol was done on foot. Imagine how unsafe that could be for an officer in today’s society. Moreover, there were no manuals or procedures for them to abide by. Policing in the 1800’s was a completely different than policing today.
There were no separate courts or jails for juveniles, which resulted in them receiving the same punishments as an adult. Starting in the early nineteenth century however, society started to slowly change the way it viewed juvenile offenders, bringing about the beginning of the juvenile justice system. During the early years of the juvenile justice system, three major milestones occurred: the child-saving movement, the concept of parens patriae, and the Illinois Juvenile Court Act. In recent years, further reforms to the juvenile justice system have come about. Juvenile offenders are now allowed due process, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention are a few of the major current reforms in the juvenile justice system.
Both were useful for corroborating cross references for facts and statistics (such as industrial figures where official statistics would have been misleading). Lynch and Waldron provided an understanding of, for example, reform prior to the revolution of 1917. Lynch’s approach is chronological whereas Waldron looks at particular themes, for example education in the pre revolutionary period. Waldron was particularly useful in comparing society in Tsarist times and under Stalin. Riasanovsky, Freeze and Service were very influential.

Race in America And The Ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment The following essay will overview and analyze the historical moment in American history relative to race, the fifteenth amendment (1870). Pulling from Souls of a Black Folk (DuBois, 1903) the analysis of the fifteenth amendment will also be supplemented by various journal articles. Taking into consideration W.E.B. DuBois’ quote from Souls Of A Black Folk, “The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color-line”, such a quote foregrounds the message and tone of this essay, with its ultimate purpose being to have a better understanding of this nation’s journey to meet its promise of freedom and democracy for all citizens. The Fifteenth Amendment in the U.S. constitution was ratified in 1870 on the third of February.

In the period after the Civil War, former slaves were made promises of equality and citizenship by the federal government. Historian Eric Foner analyzes the fate of those promises in Forever Free: The Story of Emancipation and Reconstruction. The drastic changes in American society are pointed up by three amendments to the Constitution: the 13th abolished slavery; the 14th guaranteed birthright citizenship and equal rights for all Americans; and the 15th barred states from discriminating on the basis of race in voting rights. Foner writes, "The unresolved legacy of Reconstruction remains a part of our lives. In movements for social justice that have built on the legal and political accomplishments of Reconstruction, and in the racial tensions
