With groups it can affect organisations, communities and society as a whole. Even the people who inflict discrimination can be affected by negative impact -they could fail to experience the benefits of diversity, equality and inclusion. It could also affect their broadening of their horizons. Negative impact can be :- Loss of self esteem Poor self image Confusion, anger and depression Disempowerment Loss of motivation, achievement Missed opportunities Marginalisation 1.3 The importance of inclusive practice is it enables people to be valued, confident, feel safe and have all their needs met. They can then participate in society without feeling prejudice or
Albert Cohen was the first sociologist to use the subcultural theories to try and explain working class crime. He largely agreed with Merton’s idea of a strain to anomie. He agreed that deviance is largely a lower class problem. Like Merton, he thought that crime in the lower classes came from the fact that people cannot get success by legitimate means. This is due to the working class having a lack of access to things such as Education.
But as time went on, as we realized what little impact it had, I became angry for what the boycott did to all these people, my friends and teammates, and people in all those other countries too." The Soviets and East Germans returned the favor in 1984, boycotting L.A. and lessening the competition at the 1984 Games. In a 1991 interview, Russian swimming legend Vladimir Salnikov said he still lamented not facing the Americans in Moscow in 1980, and again in L.A. in 1984. The matching boycotts robbed an entire generation of athletes on both sides of the Iron Curtain of their greatest competition on the world's grandest stage. But time does move on, and few if any remember the anniversary anymore.
He figures this out when visiting his old home in California. He was furious. This was untruthful of his dad, and that's one thing that Chris hates most. Because of this incident he stopped talking to either of his parents and was withdrawn for the first time in his life. “Chris's smoldering anger, it turns out was fueled by a discovery he'd made two summers earlier, during his cross-country wanderings... Chris pieced together the facts of his father's previous marriage and subsequent divorce-facts to which he hadn't been privy.” (p. 121) This is not good mainly for Chris and his dad's relationship and also his mom and him.
Often times, people become depressed and rely on anti-depressants to keep them sane, when all they have to do is be true to themselves and express themselves in a healthy way. A Brave New World strips each person of their uniqueness by conditioning babies to hate books and nature, and to be categorized into groups by means of violence and hypnopaedia. This society can represent what our future can be like if people keep suppressing their true selves. Cloning and conditioning are tools that are used in conforming today’s society. If people believe in themselves and express their true spirit and their true selves, the world will continue to be the remarkable dwelling that holds an infinite number of spirits that are constantly growing with each
However, in Fahrenheit 451 Beatty describes conformity as a positive aspect of society – he argues that conformity in behavior prevents violence and jealousy by restricting the gifted and talented people from their ability to excel, which is good in a way because then the others won‘t feel bad. However, the real problem in the situation Beatty describes is not the exceptionally bright child (when he is trying to show Montag the uselessness of books) but the group of people of those who submit to it. Unfortunately, this very situation occurs repeatedly in our society today. People who choose not to conform may be persecuted by the groups of people who submit into censorship, and through that act of persecution the people reinforce conformity of
In a care setting I have found that this means service users feel able to voice their concerns and express their needs to me. I have also found effective communication will often have a very positive effect on a resident’s selfesteem and confidence, which in turn will result in the resident retaining their dignity and becoming more independent. In this way equality, empathy and shared information is promoted. Poor communication will discourage support and trust, between myself and my colleagues and between service users and service suppliers. It will create situations where people are not treated equally and will leave residents feeling lonely, isolated and very unhappy, that they are ‘invisible’ and that their opinions count for nothing.
One main key effect of the language for me was the repetition of the sentence in the last line of each stanza. This really helped to emphasize to the audience how badly he felt that the people of his kind were being treated. In addition to this there is a repetitive use of the phrase of ‘my dear’ suggest he is speaking to his wife or a family member who doesn’t truly understand the extent of the situation. Each stanza seems to intensify the situation in the poem. For example the first stanza starts of by telling us that they the homeless, though there are millions of people in the city who have some kind of home but the refugees have nowhere to go.
Identify and explain two reasons for the emergence of deviant subcultures (12 marks) Subcultural Theorists argue Deviance is the result of individuals conforming to the values and norms of a social group to which they belong, if you belong to a social group whose VALUES and norms differ from those of the main society then you will become deviant. Albert Cohen said lower-working-class boys want to achieve the success SPELL OUT WEALTH as Success which is appreciated by mainstream culture. Due to educational failure and the dead-end jobs that result from this they have little chance of achieving these goals, this results in status frustration due to deprivation Ao1. THIS IS HOW SUCCESS IN CAPITALIST SOCIETY IS MEASURED ACCORDING TO COHEN This could also relate to the ‘middle class measuring rods’ WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS – AMBITION, CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES, DEFERERED GRATIFICATION which Cohen used to describe a school system that favoured middle class boys over lower class boys as these lower class boys were unable to meet standards like the middle class did, therefore leading to a STATUS FRUSTRATION strain AO1. The lower class boys are at the bottom of the social structure and have little chance of gaining a higher status in society.
But, Karl Marx did not write at length about crime. Marxists recognise that for a society to function efficiently, social order is necessary. Marxists agree with functionalists that socialisation plays a crucial role in promoting conformity and order. Deviance is partly the product of unequal power relations and inequality in general. Crime is often the result of offering society-demeaning work with little sense of creativity.
