He said if standardized test scores look good, then schools look good and this is very deceptive.…

Many people are affected because the class they are considered as, it’s a huge cultural lag between the low and high class families. The three classes we categorize people in are the low class, medium class, and high class living. To begin, I am going to start with our low class living individuals, living in this class comes with a lot of major downsides.

As social psychological theories are meant to explain phenomenon, it is relatively easy to identify these theories and concepts in daily life. Events in the news are also subject to social psychological analysis.

Sarah Muhr, a student at UCLA, called the police after she heard screams coming from somewhere in her apartment building.

The topic of the relationship between socioeconomic status and early adolescent sexual behavior is important because it is prevalent in today’s society. Knowing whether it is the environment, parental supervision, quality of education, or even a certain lifestyle can help reduce this behavior. Research on this kind of topic can help with interventions and create prevention methods that can lower the statistics of this activity and maybe even lower the rates of pregnancy in low income neighborhoods. Based on research, having a low socioeconomic status includes limitations in prevention and treatment services, low quality education, and social opportunities which as a result may lead to an influence in health in a person overall. Different…
1) Mr. K what do you mean by you do not know how much longer you can go on? My rational for asking him what does he mean that he cannot go on, is because he sounds like he is talking about suicide. As a social worker this is something that I want to be clear about. I think that he might respond to this question by answering it in a very specific way.…

In one of the discussion boards, I shared my thoughts about “Social Class Quiz.” When I took the quiz, I just thought it was very accurate. Although, few days after sharing my thoughts on discussion board I realized that I am a middle class in Japan not in the United States. (Which I am still considered as middle class in the United States.) This was very interesting because, this tells me that the English I am learning is the “middle class English.”…
To feel or not to be able to feel Sociopaths are known in society for committing violent crimes with no remorse. Sociopathy is a former term for Antisocial Personality behavior Disorder. Sociopaths are known for feeling no guilt and committing crimes, but most sociopaths aren't criminals but are people you can come in contact with every day and never know that they are sociopathic; from your charismatic coworker to the over friendly cashier who checks out your groceries. It is estimated though that the frequency of people who depict sociopathic behavior is almost 4% (Adams). Amazingly many people know nothing about this disorder and are not aware of sociopaths in society.…
The world of higher education, since its beginning, has become progressively more complex and convoluted. Structures and systems have adapted and transformed, partially in response to an increasingly fast-paced society, and partially as a result of increased emphasis on various subjects and disciplines. Of particular interest to this author is the prestige of a college or university, with specific regards to standardized testing as a measure. In other words: Are standardized test scores of enrolled freshmen an accurate measure of the prestige of a college or university?…

As I have read further into the sociology book, I have come to learn that sociology is in everything we see. No matter if we catch it or not it is present. To further explain the hidden aspects of social media, Netflix, newspapers and even children's shows, I have chosen three things that I myself did not fully understand the story behind until Intro to Sociology. The first of these is the most current act of discrimination against a minority group is the temporary ban of refugees from the seven majority muslim countries.…
Twelfth Night is a story that is written by William Shakespeare. Love is a major topic in the Twelfth Night because many major characters in the story fall in love with each other. In the story, the nature of love does not follow the guidelines of social class. Even though love does not follow these guidelines, the characters in the story still realize what social class they are associated in and it sometimes stops them from seeking out certain characters. There are a few love connections that do defy their social classes.…
In this assignment I was part of the blue group, the lower class. Being in this group, I experienced frustration from unfairness and lack of progression. I kept on pulling only low-value chips from the bag and my scores were typically low. I felt as if my status was permanent and that trading was trivial, therefore I gave up and started to accept lower scores. Few people in my group took our disadvantage as an incentive to work harder and get better scores, but the majority was resentful and gave up on playing the game.…
