The authors begin by making the argument that structural factors and political institutions are vital indicators of women’s political representation, but then find proof that these two explanations cannot stand alone. In terms of Finland and Greece, this part of the theory works for structural factors, but is not applicable in terms of political institutions. It is then made evident that the culture of a state, the independent variable, is the most reliable factor when…

understand it (Rouse, 2009). Power is usually associated with a person’s dominance or physical strength. However, the definition of power in the context of standpoint theory is the power of institutions or groups. All major institutions have control over the world and how we experience it.

Social Institutions regarding Racial Inequality Slavery ended over 150 years ago and In 1964 the Civil Rights Act ended all laws regarding segregation. Have you ever wondered why racial inequality is still prevalent in today’s day and age. Well a lot of the reasoning behind racial inequality still existing is in fact due to social institutions.

contributes to negative student outcomes because of poor working conditions and lack of support that NTTFs receive from their institution (Kezar, Maxey & Badke, 2013).

Despite their key importance, arbitrators and arbitral institutions can, at least in theory, enter this market without undertaking any previous licencing and, in practice, have little to none disciplinary oversight from state-backed institutions.

Fair distribution of tools to flourish is a just equability, however, it is up to the people to self-determine how to use that to better themselves (Zhang, 2016). Additionally, to allocate more benefits to the less advantaged to give them a fair head start is not fair justification on the part of the social system or social institutions (Schmidtz, 2005).…

While watching the institutional videos, I could not help but think about how the residents felt while living in such horrible institutions. Throughout the clips, there was a common theme within each that the residents of institutions were not treated the same as many other civilians. The residents were treated horrible along with the conditions of the institutions being horrendous and unbearable for them. It was clear that the employees did not care about the residents. The videos on Pennhurst,…
