Summary Remembering My First Arrest

1. What is the difference between a. and a. It is evident that sociology’s three main theoretical paradigms can be applied to the real world, especially in the story “Remembering My First Arrest” in Cops, Teachers, and Counselors. When a rookie officer and field training officer confronted a citizen who violated an open container law, the first thing they said was “you’re just out here screwing with me because I’m black” (Maynard-Moody and Musheno, 2022, pp. 66. The 'Standard' of the 'Standard'. In response to these words from the citizen, the field training officer said, “That’s right, I’m just picking on you because you’re black” (Maynard-Moody and Musheno, 2022, pp. 66. The 'Standard' of the 'Standard'. After the arrest, the comment didn’t
When looking at the difference between the rookie officer’s identity and the occupational identity associated with the field training officer, the language used by the field training officer was taken differently by each person. The use of racial themes felt wrong to the rookie because he was not raised in that way. He said, “I was raised in a Christian home and an environment where that wasn’t common language or thoughts” (Maynard-Moody and Musheno, 2022, pp. 66. The 'Standard' of the 'Standard'. On the other hand, the field training officer is much older and experienced a time when he constructed a justified meaning for that type of language. It is said, “he offers a justification for the racist talk and actions of these officers by pointing out that they routinely faced verbal assaults from black citizens who were violating the law with their street profanity” (Maynard-Moody and Musheno, 2022, pp. 68.

For our project, we will be researching the extent to which juveniles from low socioeconomic backgrounds are more susceptible to online predator victimization when using popular social media apps. When thinking about this topic, several theories can be applied. First, functionalism is a paradigm that can be used. It argues that social institutions contribute to the stability and social order of a society. Adolescents coming from a home that has a lack of parental support or proper schooling are instances where social institutions are not fulfilling their roles. While functionalism is a more large-scale look into society, symbolic interactionism is a second paradigm that could be applied to our topic and is more micro-focused. With language and symbols being important factors when social interaction occurs, individuals have their own interpretations that differ from others. In the case of our topic, an adolescent viewing messages online might think it is a harmless, fun conversation. On the other hand, online predators might be sending messages to get access to the child. While social interaction occurs between the adolescent and the predator, different interpretations are a result of how their identity has been
