studies, critical theory, and Marxism. As an intellectual political radical, Pan-Africanist and Marxist humanist concerned with the psychopathology of colonization, Fanon wrote this wonderful book which can be considered as a milestone in modern sociology. Fanon begins the book by considering the identifies of colonizer and colonized from the very first chapter of the book, "Concerning Violence". Fanon used a word in this chapter "Manichaean world" which means a world cut into white and black…

Bond has contributed with his artistic skills to some extent in the raise of consciousness and hope in modern society. As W. B. Worthen states in Contemporary Literature, “[a]lthough Bond is surely interested in a metaphysics of justice, his plays take as their central subject the operation of social injustice, figured largely through…

her junior—in the same way. She then tells a story about a time she participated a in panel at a social science conference on race and gender with another professor, a white male, a few years her senior and known for his statistical approach to sociology.

of labour. Marx challenges that division of labour strips people from their lives and could cause a potential breakdown in society. “The division of labor pits man against his fellow man; it creates class differences; it destroys the unity of the human race. Marx had an almost theolog­ical concern with the unity of mankind, and his hostility to the division of labor was therefore total” (North, Gary. "Marx 's View of the Division of Labor." FEE Freeman Article.). Marx claimed that division of…

gender and ability discrimination in college, so I have particular show solicitude for these kinds of situation in the classroom. I hope my opinion can raise the consciousness of a new instructor at Cal about things he/she should be aware of when coming into a classroom. In my opinion, I think the instructor needs to raise the consciousness to be aware of a few important variables of intersectionality, which is a study of overlapping social identities and to examine how individuals face and…

CLAIMS Unsurprisingly, considering the key figures of British cultural studies, the field was majorly oriented toward political problems. Hoggart, Williams and Hall chose to enter into the educational arena because it “was the social and cultural form in which they saw the possibility of reuniting what had been in their personal histories disrupting: the value of higher education and the persistent educational deprivation of the majority of their own originary [sic] or affiliated class” (“Uses…

Marriage: Duty vs. Love, Morality vs. Humanism “Mythology of a people is ‘the origin of the people’s philosophy, literature and religion’ and ‘the collective sub-consciousness of the whole people’” (Wang 1). Therefore, studying mythology will help us to understand how the perspectives of a people in a specific culture form and how their attitudes toward what they experience take shape. Furthermore, by comparing and contrasting different mythologies, we can explore how different peoples…

people depict as their own. Gramsci would consider this to be double consciousness of self-activity and Praxis of indirect social dominance. The Black female is seen as, “aggressive, loud, and rude” is entertained through the masses of entertainment directed to “Bitches” depicted to bad black mothers and working-class Black women (Collins p.123).

Society as a whole is so obscure that there is no single idea or theory that could explain the true nature of the world we live in. The differing approaches within sociology attempt to provide an explanation for human behaviour and how social structures in society operate (Fulcher and Scott, 2011).
