Functionalist theory is good at explaining how socialization occurs and how it benefits a whole society through value consensus. When all parts of society are in balance then social equilibrium is achieved, again through socialization values are transmitted through generations however it is criticized, as it doesn’t explain how social change occurs.

Social class can be ranged in different dimensions such as economics (measured in wealth or income), political (status and power) and cultural (lifestyle and beliefs). Social class can create inequalities and is an indicator on social stratification and that is where social groups in society are ranked based on factors such as wealth (Haralambos, 2004). Sociological theories such as Functionalism, Marxism and Social Action Theory differ in their perspective on class stratification.…

One of the most interesting points of Lowenthal’s reading, as I found, is that he made every effort to elucidate the fact that the past could never be accurately re-enacted. It is a constructed vision based on our memory, history, and relics. “Memory, history, and relics continually furnish our awareness of the past….and the ultimate uncertainty of the past makes us all the more anxious to validate that things were reputed.” A very significant method to connect these dots is the construction of…

There are numerous “theoretical” reasons for constructing particular behaviors as “criminal” affecting the measurement of crime over time due to advocates of diverse theories such as conflict theories, consensus theories, constructionist theories, and integrationist theories.

Attempting to resolve the conflict requires negotiation and consensus. “Negotiation happens when both parties state their goals and then use their resources to induce or coerce the other to move closer to their goal.” (White & Klein, 2002) This requires both parties to be willing to cooperate with one another to hear the other person out to come to reaching a middle ground or goal. “Consensus means agreement. Consensus is achieved when parties to a negotiation agree.” (White & Klein, 2002)…

in 2004 there was a conference held for the purpose “to develop a process for achieving consensus regarding the credentialing of APNs” (p. 34). The APRN Regulatory Model is important because according to Hamric et al. (2014) it “includes important definitions, the roles and titles to be used, and population foci” (p. 34). According to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (n.d.), now that the consensus model is developed, it will allow the advanced practice nurse “to align the…

The Issue under Consideration: The retaliatory cruise missile strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan following the attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, have elicited criticisms of administration decision-making procedures concerning terrorism. Both government and civilian observers have noted a general inconsistency in the restraint shown after terrorist attacks and the timeliness of consequent US retaliations. In this case, critics also cite the sequestration of senior security advisors…

The classification of what constitutes a crime or what is considered a criminal behavior in our society can be explained by three views. The consensus view of crime contends society will agree on what is considered criminal and should be outlawed, regardless of socioeconomic class. The conflict view which asserts only those with economic and social power can create policies that punish more severely certain criminal behaviors emblematic of the working class, than crimes specific to the upper…
