Buddhism which found its way to China through the Silk Road becomes a highly influential religion among the people and among the emperors from the Sui, Tang, Song, and even the Mongol Yuan dynasties.
For centuries, the caste system dictated almost every aspect of Hindu life. The caste would eventually split up into upper and lower classes, causing a segregation between both communities. There have been many attempts to get rid of the system, but unfortunately it is still being used in India today. In Document 3, the excerpt from the Mahabharata states “Enjoy the pleasure bestowed on you, and bear the pain on you.” Referring to the caste system, this statement describes the pleasures or the pain that a Hindu receives in their lifetime.
The Caste System developed by the Spanish had affected all features of their life, such as their economy and taxation. The Spanish and its Church got more of the tax and payments from the lower classes. There was no equality as the lower class were mistreated. The Caste System was used mainly for social control and was able to decide where a person 's place in society was.
There are many different societies in our world today, and each of these communities treat and group their people differently. While some places, like the United States, do not have set groups, others, like India, have very strict laws about what each class can and cannot do. The Caste system in India is a great example of how one society strictly groups their members. The Caste system is a class structure that is determined at birth.
I previously did not know that there was a caste system and institutions (schools, banks, work places, criminal justice system and housing policies). I initially thought that the caste system was just a system based on race, but there are many other factors that contribute to racism. The caste system is based on birth and defines a person's social status, occupation, and opportunities. To relate this to the Black Lives Matter movement, the police officer that killed George Floyd, probably had the idea that he was more superior if the police force supported him. The police force did not fire or punish him after he killed George Floyd (systemic racism) since he is
Sadly there will always be a caste system and good people might be caught in the bias opinion of the group of people they are in. People will always have a bias opinion of other people because a caste system can manifest corruption in the justice
History of the particular policy domain, social and political processes, like McGirr in “Making Radical Reform” and Alexander in “The Rebirth of Caste”, policies regulating the use of substances, the prohibition of alcohol in McGirr and the War on Drugs in Alexander, were developed in response to larger social and political power struggles around ethnicity and or race. In McGirr's reading, we can see an illustration of how prohibition was linked to racism affecting the latest immigration waves in the nineteenth century. In the New Jim Crow, Alexander described the racialization of drugs such as crack cocaine as the primary factor for the brutal policy response. The drug war in the United States has constantly exposed large amounts to criminalization,
The entire World State is an assembly line just pushing out people after people in order to fit into a single caste system and
hundred eyes” (869 bk. 1). Argus is tasked with continuously watching over Io and never leaves her side. Argus is another male that is in complete control of her life and always watched over her “no matter where he stood, he looked at Io, even when he had turned his back on her” giving her no privacy of her own (872-873; bk. 1).
The Indians living in the Western Hemisphere, prior to the exploration of the area, completed by Christopher Columbus, were far more sophisticated than we theorized. Considering the Native Americans had sophisticated societies, with large populations that displayed an assortment of cultures, their advanced social systems were clear. Extensive trade routes created by the Indians spanned across the country, and demonstrated their superior standard of living. Furthermore, Native Americans invented innovative military technology, which exceeded that of the metal armor used by their European counterparts. Europeans manipulated the image of North American savagery, which is now shown to contradict new frontier studies, that evidently prove they
The caste system has been in India’s culture for a long amount of time. It is still around in India because people’s minds will not change about it. This practice has had effects on people, but growing up in a certain caste people believe it is right and just. Even people who are peasants think that is okay and do not desire to be in a higher caste, treated with respect.
The functionalist perspective argue that society provides us with norms or guidelines (Leon-Guerrero 2014). There can be shown a difference of the way people expect to behave when drinking. According to Caetano, Clark, and Tam, people who lack norms to control their behavior, they are likely to purse self-destructive behaviors such as alcohol abuse (Leon-Guerrero 2014). For instance, doctors warn about the dangers of alcohol use and even advertisers promote the use of alcohol and the affects. Yet we still drink no matter what the causes are.
Social interactions all contribute to a system that works together to create a balance, according to functionalists. This perspective emphasizes order and stability. Change is not only not a priority of a functionalist, but they would argue that change would simply upset the balance. It would make sense for a functionalist to not necessarily want to hire a person under the age of thirty. Our generation is constantly changing and evolving and people in older generations may view that change as negative.
Some might argue that India’s Caste system is closely related to However, Caste and social hierarchy were more different because Caste happens over different lifetimes, and social hierarchy can happen over one. In the caste system people could move their position in their current life, however they could have moved up or down depending on how they acted in their last life. In the Social hierarchy, men could move up or down depending on whom they married, however women could not move throughout the chain. “Women were generally seen as inferior to men, dominated by their bodies rather than their minds.” (McKay pg
Marriage and Family Functionalist perspective Family is a type of social institution concerned with the support, care, protection, and socialization of the children. The functionalist perspective on family focuses on the functions of the family, the functions being the socialization of children, providing love and companionship, regulation of sexual behaviour, and the occupation of various economic roles. Functionalists also look at how a family relates to the rest of society and how it helps maintain it. According to the functionalist view, the economic functions of a family include production and consumption, and the inheritance of wealth and other material assets from one generation to the other.
