Secondary deviance as an outcome of societal response to a set of deviant behaviors. Problems of labeling perspective.
Paper Introduction: Labeling and Secondary Deviance
Introduction
Deviance is very much a product of social rulemaking, rule enforcement, and policies regarding the consequence of enforcement (Goode, 2001). Though many theories of what causes deviance have been developed, this report will examine the labeling or interactionist theory of deviance which Goode (2001) describes as focused on rulemaking and, most particularly, reactions to rule-breaking. The goal of the study is to examine the effects of labeling on secondary deviance.
The report will first provide an overview of labeling theory. It will then discuss the nature and sources of secondary deviance. The report will then examine the specific linkages between labeling as a means of defining behavior and

Theory used is George Simmel's THE PHILOSOPHY OF MONEY. Simmel's evaluation of the pursuit of profits by corporations. Open-ended survey of four people to elicit their opinions on the effects of money on American society.
Paper Introduction: The research problem of this study is: Has money led to the decline in the quality of life, as suggested in George Simmel’s The Philosophy of Money? According to Simmel (1978), money that was initially created as a human tool for transactions has come to dominate every aspect of human life. Many components that contribute to the quality of life are measured by their monetary worth. Thus, the creation of a rational and objective world that revolves around money has undermined the value of nonrational aspects of life such as love, which cannot be quantified by money (in Ritzer, 2000, pp. 276-7). Thus, the purpose of this research study is to determine whether Simmel’s concern about the effects of money has relevance to contemporary society.
This writer agrees with Simmel’s evaluation of the negative effects of money. The relentless pursuit of profits by

Paper Introduction: This essay applies the principles of conflict theory to the interactions between a street gang denominated the "Saints" and the tenants' Council of a housing project, designated Blackstone, that is located in a large midwestern city and was studied by Venkatesh. The conflict between these groups developed over a number of years and when it reached a climax with a sharp increase in violence and danger to residents, especially small children, the two groups developed an accord as the Saints took the unprecedented step of entering into community affairs in order to ensure that the conflict did not force a slowdown in their business operations. This change took place only after the 'corporatization' of the Saints and it took place because residents were sure that the state was no longer involved in ensuring their safety.

Cites work of several social theorists on the topic, mainly Willian Julius Wilson who analyzed the problems associated with the disappearance of work and intergenerational poverty in inner cities in his book WHEN WORK DISAPPEARS. Wilson's arguments compared to other interpretations of social structure.
Paper Introduction: Work, Anomie, and Alienation in America
William Julius Wilson (1996), in When Work Disappears, argues that in order to fully understand many of the problems associated with seemingly intergenerational poverty in inner city American enclaves or ghettos, it is important to understand that many of these problems (e.g., crime, family dissolution, welfare, low levels of social organization, and so on) are fundamentally a consequence of the disappearance of work. Further, says Wilson (1996), the debate over the causes of the disappearance of work are ideologically driven in many instances. Ideology is seen as pitting liberal versus conservative perspectives against one another. Such a focus also results in giving insufficient attention to the interaction between such variables as social structural factors, race itself, and s

Premise is that a learned behavior, perpetuated by the powerful against the weak, can be unlearned. Concept of conditioning. Self-interest as bases of human behavior. Role of learning on deviance. Relation of concept of reward to sexual harassment. Workplace harassment & women.
Paper Introduction: Sexual harassment is a widespread problem and one that is widely acknowledged by a number of powerful institutions (as well as the victims of the practice) and yet it remains difficult to counteract for several reasons. This paper examines how a perspective that incorporates ideas about private justice and perspectives taken from social learning theory can suggest one possible strategy to reduce the problem of sexual harassment.
The first of the two primary reasons that sexual harassment is a difficult behavior to remove from society are that it is perpetuated in general by the powerful against the weak – in this case, by men against women. While in a democracy the weak are protected by the rule of law, laws are in fact always differentially enforced, and always (as a general rule) enforced less well against the powerful. Women who seek justice against men (

Uses two theories to illustrate this contention. Bottom-up individualistic interpretive/cultural theory; bureaucracy of modern social systems; influence of Weber and Marx. Top-down structural-functional or holist/interpretative theories; society as a system of shared values, meanings and symbols; influence of Durkheim.
Paper Introduction: Social Stratification and Theoretical Explanations
The thesis to be addressed in this report is that the United States appears to be a social system with a high degree of social inequality. There are several different sociological theories that have been used to explain this stratification, but this report will consider only two theories: a bottom-up individualistic theory and the top-down structural-functional theory.
Bottom-up individualistic or interpretive/cultural understanding of society posits that individuals struggle against the bureaucracy of the modern social system with individual action and reasoning influenced by such variables as culture and values (Lecture 1, p. 2). These theories are heavily influenced by the work of Max Weber and also encompass ideas a

The State's control of individual human beings. Incarceration of juvenile delinquents. Person-to-person encounters. Codes and norms of fast-food consumption. Power at the microlevel.
Paper Introduction: This research examines Foucault's critique of the concept of the norm. Foucault's analysis of the emergence of regimes of discipline in the West charts the development of social coercion as a defining feature of power implementation in society. The basic argument is that power as the right of life or death, associated with state regimes, was transformed into power in determining quality of life as it is understood in the modern period. According to Foucault's line of thought, the individual human being is considered an object upon which authorities may enact various ideas of control. In his description of Mettray, a farm colony for juvenile delinquents and/or abandoned children, the control does not necessarily entail brute force, though that is not out of the question, but rather other forms of coercion, including isolation from the community and the construction of a physi

Theory of Emile Durkheim's constructs of deviance. His assertion that deviations from norms serve two major functions.
Paper Introduction: Control Theory: A Comparison of Hirschi and Durkheim
Sociological approaches to the study of conformity and deviance have been influenced by ideas derived from two disparate models of society – the structural-functional model and the conflict model. The structural-functional model emphasizes the role of shared values and norms in maintaining social cohesion and the equilibrium-seeking tendency of society that produces a harmonious balance among its different parts (Perrucci & Knudsen, 1989).
The conflict model asserts that society contains basic inequalities in wealth, power, and prestige. Groups that are more powerful or privileged define what is or is not deviant not on the basis of widely shared values, but on the basis of their power to impose their values on less powerful segments in socie

Paper Introduction: This research examines the sociological work of Durkheim, Marx, and Barthes, with reference to their treatment of theoretical antinomies, or unresolvable contradictions embedded into accounts of social structure, form, and change, and their impact on American interactionist and French structuralist social theory. The research will set forth the context of the emergence of modern social theory and then discuss how the work of Marx, Durkheim, and Barthes offers a way of analyzing the relative situations of individuals, groups, and societies as a whole.
It does not take much examination of the history of social theory to see that varieties of conflict, alienation, and paradox appear inherent in the relationships between individual and individual, between individual and group, between individual and/or group and society at large.

Paper Introduction: LABELING THEORIES
We tend to live in an ordered society. That makes it necessary to set rules and regulations, and to “label” not only the measures of conformity, but deviations from the norm. In criminology, such deviations are carefully studied- both for their origins and the results. Many recent journal articles (including the ones selected for discussion here) now tend to blur the line between sociology and criminology- assuming there was a division line in the first place. So, perhaps one should begin with what is an acknowledged definition of the labeling theory. One looks to Howard Becker as the modern developer (1963) of what he also refers to as social reaction theory in his book Outsiders: Studies in the Sociology of Deviance. His landmark book views deviance as the creation of social groups

Paper Introduction: Privacy is a conception that is much under discussion in America today because of the perception that we are losing much of our privacy in an age of computer surveillance and intrusion. The concept of privacy might seem a simple one to most of us, but in fact the very idea of privacy is viewed in different ways in different cultures, some of which do not even have the concept of privacy at all.
Most Western nations share our general idea of privacy, as can be seen in the fact that the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which embodies a conception of human rights, includes a provision regarding privacy. There are differing conceptions of what human rights are and how they can or cannot be protected. Much of the history of the discussion of rights as described by Cranston shows that there has been a

Paper Introduction: C. Wright Mills
C. Wright Mills is one of the few sociologists of the twentieth century who wrote within the classical tradition of sociology (Elwell, 2000). As a professor of sociology at Columbia University, Mills wrote throughout the 1940s and 1950s, publishing in major newspapers and journals of opinion and in "little magazines" in equal measure (Summers, 2000). Two of his books, White Collar (1951) and The Power Elite (1956), sold very well even outside academia and were very influential upon the early New Left (Summers, 2000). Thus, even though Mills died in March 1962 at the age of 45, his ten books and nearly 200 articles, essays and reviews had already won him an international reputation.
Mills's vision, as expressed in his work, demonstrates a holistic view of socio-cu

The Oklahoma City terrorist bombing on April 19, 1995, represents a seminal event in recent American history; together with the earlier bombing of New York's World Trace center, Oklahoma City demonstrated to Americans that as a people, we are not exempt from terrorist attacks. The purpose of this essay is to examine the activities and attitudes of Timothy McVeigh, the man found guilty of planning and executing the Oklahoma City attack, from the perspective of sociological theory. McVeigh's life and his behavior lend themselves to such an analysis, particularly with regard to the theory of anomie as described by, among others, Robert Merton (1957). McVeigh has been

Paper Introduction: The sociology of deviance has been an integral part of the study of sociologists because of its impact on the well-being of society. Functionalists view deviance both as threatening and vital to the preservation of society. However, in recent years, labeling theorists have come to challenge the functionalists’ definition of deviance as the violation of social norms. Instead, they view the reaction to deviance as critical in the definition of deviance. Nonetheless, what the functionalists and labeling theorists share in their approaches is their belief that deviant acts stem from society, rather than the individual (Douglas, 1973, p. 540).
Functionalists assert that there are immutable moral values in society that provide the basis for the formation of social norms (Nisbet, 1970, p. 289). With his study on suicide,

Paper Introduction: Institutions are defined by Douglass C. North as "the rules of the game in a society" and more formally as "the humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction" (3). Another way of saying this is that institutions constitute the rules by which we live in a given social setting. Institutions have many consequences as they shape human interactions in a wide variety of social encounters, and institutions matter because of their consequences. Institutions clearly embody certain values which are prized by a society and which are then necessary for the proper functioning of that society. A number of the reasons for this can be indicated along with the ways in which institutions matter in society.
North notes first that institutions reduce uncertainty because they provide a structure to everyday life:

Paper Introduction: Karl Marx in The Communist Manifesto envisions a change in the society of his time, a change to be brought about by revolution to institute a social order he called Communism. This was in response to the development of the social order of capitalism, with the accumulation of capital under the control of the bourgeois class in a way that Marx saw as occurring at the expense of the exploited proletarian class:
The essential condition for the existence, and for the sway of the bourgeois class, is the formation and augmentation of capital; the condition for capital is wage labor. Wage labor rests exclusively on competition between the laborers (Marx 179).
In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley also considers the economic relat

Paper Introduction: When George Ritzer speaks of McDonaldization, he is referring to a social phenomena that actually predates McDonald's but that has increased since the creation of that hamburger chain; it is a phenomenon that the chain itself has come to symbolize. McDonaldization is a form of rationalization leading to efficiency, calculation, and predictability. Ritzer says that McDonald's has been successful because it offers the consumer efficiency and predictability:
It has also flourished because it has been able to exert greater control through nonhuman technologies over both employees and customers, leading them to behave the way the organization wishes them to (Ritzer 11).

Paper Introduction: Conflict Theory in Criminal Justice
Abstract
Conflict theory in criminal justice is based on the assumption that society is grounded in inherent conflict that cannot be resolved. Conflict theorists argue that those who hold power and wealth in a capitalist economy force the less-powerful to abide by their established rules with the purpose of protecting their own property and physical safety. The theory relies on a Marxist interpretation of the function of a capitalist society. It argues for a broader definition of crime to include offenses and actions intended to maintain the ruling structure. The theory and models of punishment based on the theory would require an understanding of criminal justice that took into consideration the social and pol

A Critical Evaluation of the Work of Carol Weiss
Introduction
There has been enormous change in the social sciences during the past few decades, particularly in respect to acceptable research methods and understandings of social reality. The knowledge claims of social science have come under attack from feminists and minority groups who contend that these knowledge claims have most often represented the social reality of a limited minority group of white, elite males. This has brought under discussion the relationship between empirical and normative aspects of inquiry practices and created a problem of evaluation in social inquiry (Schwandt, 1997).

Paper Introduction: This research will examine the ability of Marxian and Weberian conceptions of class to explain patterns of socioeconomic stratification in the U.S., with reference to the roles and interplay of race, ethnicity, and gender in shaping patterns of class stratification in the U.S. The research will set forth the conceptions of class held by Marx and Weber, respectively, and then discuss how each theorist's view of class accounts for social and economic divisions within the American social structure.

Literature was reviewed in relation to the dichotomy between conflicting desires of peoples in Third World nations to retain cultural local heritage and to participate in and benefit from the process of economic globalization. Preliminary investigation indicates that it is not the process of globalization that represents the greatest threat to cultural national heritage so much as it is the structures that powerful actors are attempting to use to shape the process.

Homelessness in the United States
Since 1980, the homeless have been emerging rapidly as a new segment of the underclass in the United States. This shift towards homelessness is, according to some observers, the direct result of reductions in federal funding for low-income housing (Fox and Roth 141).
