Theoretical Application It is blatantly evident when examining the behaviours of the members of the Tuohy family, that symbolic interactionism has influenced them to act in a certain way on multiple occasions throughout their life. Leigh Anne, Sean, Collin, SJ and Michael are all guilty of using their interpretations of other people 's perception of them to determine their actions. The first example is during the Tuohy’s Thanksgiving lunch. Initially, Sean, SJ and Collin grabbed their food buffet style and went to sit in the living room to watch the football game.

Chief Bromden, the narrator of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, is an effective narrator because he narrates from the perspective of a mental patient and is thought to be deaf and dumb. His mental states enhances, rather than detracts, his explanation of the mental hospital as he provides a first-hand perspective on the thoughts of the patients and the impact of society on them. In addition, “[everyone at the hospital doesn’t] bother not talking out loud about their secrets when [Chief] is nearby because they think [he’s] deaf and dumb” (Kesey 11). This puts Chief Bromden in a unique situation where he can narrate both sides of the hospital, the patient and the caretakers, which allows for the development of the conflict. Had

Burak defines gender socialization as “the process of interaction through which we learn the gender norms of our culture and acquire a sense of ourselves as feminine, masculine, or even androgynous” (Burack, 1). According to Burack, people of different genders behave differently not due to biological factors, but due to socialization that teaches individuals to behave in a particular way in order to belong to a certain gender. For example, women may tend to be nurturing, not because they are biologically programed to be caretakers, but as a result of society teaching them through toys and media to act as mothers. In this way, gender becomes a performance based on expectations rather than natural behaviors or biology, a phenomenon called “doing

I have faced the maleness since I was a child in an indirect way. My mother was never allowed to work during the 13 years of marriage. My father said that women have to stay home taking care of the children and house chores. It was not a problem with my mother and my siblings because women in my mother’s close social group were housewives, but after my parents got
My Autobiography Growing up as the eldest daughter in a lower middle class Mexican family, I matured much faster than my younger siblings due to various sociological dynamics. I realized due to my gender there were certain traditional expectations from me simply because I was a girl. Gender roles were deeply rooted in my household, I was to take on more responsibilities than my younger brothers and take care of them. There was a study done by Glenda Valenzuela called “Firstborn Latina Daughters: The Obstacles that Come with Learning from Home”, where it highlights the additional burdens placed upon first born Latino daughters due to cultural and gender norms. Additionally, religion played a big role in my upbringing as well.
From the moment of my birth, I was declared a girl and my parents immediately attempted to raise me to be every aspect of my gender, from behavior to beliefs. In sociology, this is known as gender role socialization, which is the process of socializing boys and girls to conform to their assigned genders’ attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, values, and norms. My parents taught me how think and behave like a girl through the way the way they dressed me, how they did my hair, and the toys they allowed me to play with. However, having been raised with a brother, I also picked up on some of his supposed gender roles. I am exactly who I am due to the way I was socialized by my parents and others around me.
The biological explanation of the brain in regards to drug addiction is interesting. According to the textbook, "Studies have found convincing evidence that drugs such as alcohol, heroin, and cocaine act directly on the brain mechanisms that are responsible for reward and punishment. " When one use drugs, the drug stimulates the areas of the brain that create the sensation of pleasure and suppress the pleasure of pain, as, a result, the user receives reinforcement to engage in further drug-taking behavior. The psychological explanation of drug abuse, "Focus on either personality disorders or the effects of social learning and reinforcement on drug-taking behaviors."
1. The two sociological perspectives that I will be writing about are conflict theory and symbolic interactionism. There are two conflict theories of a social problem Marxist Conflict theory and Non-Marxist Conflict theory. The importance of using social perspective when studying the Marxist and Non-Marxist conflict theories allows individuals a better understanding of the conflicts we face in average life such as class inequality, alienation, and conflicts in competing values in social groups.

In the 21st century of creation and innovations, technology plays a significant role in making people’s life easier. Technology represents set of skills and methods to accomplish a particular task or to solve a problem. Starting from ancient years, various philosophers described technology by using different definitions. While observing people building houses, which was similar to birds making nests, an ancient Greek philosopher Democritus stated that technology was imitation of nature. Another Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle compared natural objects and objects made by people.
In this essay, I will discuss the key premises of symbolic interaction as well as consider the ways in which symbolic interaction promotes the view that people have agency. I will then put forth the argument that conflict theorists make with respect to schools reproducing the culture of the dominant class. In relation, I will mention in what ways this perspective promotes the view that people are constrained by social structure. Finally, I will discuss the dialectical relationship between structure and agency "Symbolic interactionism has come into use as a label for a relatively distinctive approach to the study of human group life and human conduct."
