For anything to function smoothly and efficiently, it must follow a set of guidelines or have some sense of direction. For example, a machine would not work properly if its gears and levers didn’t all have a specific movement and purpose. The United States runs on the same principle; without some form of overall guidelines, such as laws for people to follow, our country would fall apart. Laws, however, are useless if people don 't follow them. Thus, bringing about the criminal justice system.…

This week’s readings introduced many aspects of crime that touch closer to home. Many students may be reading this same textbook, though I expect that we relate to these topics differently, some grasp our attention more and others, standing to be more significant to our lives and fears. This week we were introduced to the economic repercussions of crimes along with the fear of knowing that some serial murders are so cunning that they simply seem to disappear. The reason many types of physical crimes are more feared for some individuals is the simple fact that it takes work to earn the things they chose to purchase.…
The Social-Conflict Approach sees “society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and change” (Macionis 11). This approach says that any cultural trait could be a source of conflict because it will benefit some and hinder others (Macionis 54). These conditions are seen as the norm and generally positive by those who benefit from them, but those who gain nothing see the inequalities in the system. Good students may just assume that people who don’t do well in school just aren’t working hard enough. The good students assume that everyone earns scholarships, that no one has issues getting into a good college, but those students who don’t do well see all the problems with the education system they are apart of.…
Another theory that connects with gentrification and social issues amongst homeless people is the social conflict theory. The social conflict theory was invented by Karl Marx. Marx explanation for this theory was the following “the causes and consequences of class conflict between the owners of the means of production and the capitalists and the working class and the poor” (Social Conflict Theory, 2016, pg. 1). This basically means Marx’s (2016) focused was on the different resources amounts withheld between lower social classes and higher social classes. This theory connection for gentrification is illustrated amongst the lower class residents who are forced to move somewhere else due to their low economic status.…

In “Basic Writing as Cultural Conflict,” Tom Fox presents and then critiques various well-intentioned theories and frameworks that attempt to define basic writers and influence basic writing programs. He begins by repudiating deficit theories that center on perceived inadequacy as characteristic of the basic writer, the skills view that focuses on correcting student error, and service course ideology that simply views basic writing in a vacuum, separate and worthless to the institutions that house them. According to Fox, all these principles assume that basic writers and basic writing classes bring no value to the classroom and the academic community, subsequently discounting students’ knowledge, talents, and skills. As a result, both…

The United States is said to be the land of the free for all people, no matter who you are. Even though that is said to be the case, there are still many problems with racial profiling between the African American people and the police community. This has been a major dilemma since the Civil Rights Movement. In this paper, I will connect the 4 stages of conflict emergence, Identity, Grievance, Contentious Goals, and Redress, to the injustice of police brutality and then apply a source of power to each conflict emergence. The first conflict emergence is identity.…
When a government fails to heed the wants and desires of the people it claims to represent, it loses it's ability to act surprised in the face of public backlash. The US Government, a government that claims to get it's power from the people, has failed to heed the desires of the American people and they now face the backlash that comes with it. For some twenty-odd years now, the US Government has saw fit to ignore the will of it's people and needlessly involve them in a conflict that the people have no desire to be a part of. The US Government has repeatedly lied to the American people for the sole purpose of furthering its entrenchment in this conflict.…

This theory argues that social interaction precedes development, consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and social behavior. Vygotsky’s theory is one of the foundations of constructivism. (Vygotsky, 1978)…
