Rather than just recognising the disability, centrality is about considering the individual as a whole; focusing on all aspects of the individual including their past, present and future aspirations, their capabilities and strengths and working in partnership with the individual to promote their values and support them to make informed choices. Part 1 – 3 Person-centred care Person centred care aims to promote the independence and autonomy of an individual rather than focussing on their disability. Instead of treating the person as a collection of symptoms and behaviours to be controlled, person centred care means considering the whole person, taking into account each individual’s unique qualities, abilities, interests, preferences and needs. Person centred care also means treating individuals with dignity both respecting and promoting choice and independence at all times. Part 1 – 4 The importance of person-centred care The level or type of care a person requires varies from person-to-person.
Through this we have learned that as working class, we expect and accept that we will be exploited by the ruling class in terms of our surplus value. This is known as a crisis of Hegemony. They go on to say that we have internalised the DVS to such an extent that any other value system seems absurd, resulting in a state of false class consciousness. Marx believed that we will see a social revolution which will overthrow capitalism and replace it with true communism. Marxism sees religion as a feature which is only relevant in a society based on class division I.E the ruling classes and the working classes.
It wasn’t until shortly after his death that Karl Marx’s ideology began to significantly influence socialist movements. Although relatively unknown during his lifetime he has become one of the fundamental economic and sociological figures of the modern era. Many of his theories and insights into the way society functions are still relevant in the expanding capitalist society that exists today. Marx was very critical of capitalism and the division in society between the bourgeoisie and proletariat classes, attempting to highlight the injustice and exploitation of the working class by the wealthy upper and middle class. Marx predicted that capitalism within a socioeconomic system would inevitably create internal tensions between social classes leading to its demise and replacement by a new system, communism.
Culture is made up of many social practices; it is therefore essentially political and by default involved in various forms of social power. Popular culture is integrated in all that’s been mentioned above and so much more: It is made by various formations of subordinated or disempowered people out of the resources, both discursive and material, that are provided by the social system that disempowers them……this is therefore contradictory and conflictual to its core. Fiske 1989:2 Such an
Compare and Contrast Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim on human nature Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim, founding fathers of the Sociology world, both have contributed in many ways it relates to affording a society the opportunity to resolve some of the many ills/ crisis that societies throughout the world faced during their and even nowdays. Despite their indifferent views, both men were interested with the beginning of modern capitalism. Karl Marx was born in Germany whereas Emile Durkheim was born in France; however, they both studied philosophy. Marx aim was to explain capitalism- private properties, separation of labor, capital and landed property, exchange and competition. He argued that capital society and social order are all link to a capital system to human beings.
Assess the usefulness of Marxist approaches to an understanding of crime and deviance in contemporary society Marxist criminologists argue that the state passes laws which support ruling-class interests, and maintain its control and power over the subject class. They put forward the view that laws do not reflect value consensus, but instead reflect the values of ruling class ideology. Therefore, laws work towards false class consciousness, as laws only benefit the ruling minority. Many Marxists also argue that there are a vast number of laws protecting property, and Snider (1993) argued the state is often reluctant to pass laws which might threaten profitability. She also argued capitalist states often pour large amounts of money into attracting business; for example offering new investors tax concessions and grants.
The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception is a critique of popular culture by critical theorists Theodore Adorno and Max Horkheimer. This reading is a look into the development and organization of the culture industry as a tool of mass control and conditioning. For Horkheimer and Adorno, the culture industry was basically what we refer to today as popular culture. However, to them culture was only genuinely popular when the people had actually produced it, not just consumed it. Simply put, the culture industry is a factory that mass-produces inadequate cultural goods.
When you need to reflect on yourself, you need to put your thoughts into words. It also forces you to make your thoughts clear so that they can be conveyed by language. Self Reflection helps us to gain an understanding of who we are as individuals first, beyond who we are as leaders. Because, to be truly effective at leading others, we need to be effective at ‘leading’ ourselves and if we are unable to really know ourselves, we are only being deluded into thinking that we can lead ourselves. Self-reflection allows us to recognize our core values, not just by naming what we value, but why those things are most important to us.
The notion of ‘class’ is one of the most controversial and constantly challenged categories of historical analysis applied in the writing of labour history. The Marxist theory of class, first based on the writings of Karl Marx, has been vastly influential in establishing an eminent definition of ‘class’ and ‘class formation’. However, historians who believe that Marx’s structural emphasis and economic determinism are not adequate alone to reflect the formation of class have consistently questioned the pre-eminence of ‘class’. For instance, E.P Thompson’s work, The Making of the English Working Class brought the cultural aspects of class to the fore. However, it is undeniable that Marxism has provided a vital and consistent explanation for how class came about.
