    For a start, chapter five was very informative and a pleasure to read. It reconnected all the dots that steered me in the direction/profession of social work. As Rhodes & Rhodes (2015), states “Social class is to rank with others in terms of wealth, power, and prestige. This ranking separates people into different groups that experience different opportunities in life and different ways of looking at the world” (pg. 225). With that being said, this reignites the topic of homelessness that I chose for my term paper.…

    There are many differences between both males and females, from anatomy to the gender assigned roles of society. Through the decades, the gender roles have been put into play, in not only our society, but also the societies around the world. “Sex and Temperament” written by Margaret Mead, explores the cultural norms of societies around the globe and how they align with the norms we have become accustom to in our daily lives. “This study is not concerned with whether there are or are not actual and universal differences between the sexes, either quantitative or qualitative.” (Mead, 710)…

    Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman depicts the Loman's and all the family clashes they confronted. It's likewise obvious on a greater scale that this play is a social analysis. It touches every one of the issues brought on by riches and accomplishment in our way of life.

    For centuries, mankind has had a propensity to utilise the biological distinctions of the sexes in order to enforce a societal distinction between the sexes, which is known as gender. Gender, as the socially imposed division of the sexes, allowed societies to delineate certain characteristics to each of the sexes, and thus assign different roles, moral codes, and, in certain societies, thoughts and emotions to them. As such, the study of gender is of profound importance to the manner in which one reads and studies literature. For instance, the delineation of the sexes prior to the 19th century, women were educated to a lesser extent than men, having an education limited to that of moral virtues, modern languages, and societal accomplishments…

I really like how it isn’t as cut and dry as other subjects may be; sociology allows you to have an open mind.…
