Gender Inequality has been a long battling controversy about what makes a man and woman different from each other. What sets them apart in my eyes in their physical body parts but even those don’t define you do what you can and can’t do either. By looking at the three sociological theories we can get a better understanding of this topic. It’s always nice to see a topic from three points of views instead of just your own. Let’s start with the Structural-Functionalists they argue that preindustrial

of Labelling C&D Labelling theory and its theorists focus on the groups and/or individuals who were deemed to be criminal and labelled thus by society. Labelling theorists studied the various interactions between the ‘criminal’ groups and individuals and the conformist society. Labelling theory was quite popular in the 1960s and early 1970s‚ but then fell into decline—partly as a result of the mixed results of empirical research. This essay will go on to show the origins of labelling theory‚ the

Draft version: Psychological explanations of gender development “Discuss gender schema theory” (8+16 marks)” The Gender schema theory developed by Martin and Halverson (1981) explains gender development in terms of schemas which are organised clusters of information regarding gender appropriate behaviours.

Racial and Gender Inequality Functionalist Theory Racial inequality evaluated through the functionalist theory would be looked at to provide a function to the working system of a society.

There are gender differences in criminal behavior solely based up genetic makeup. Gottfedson and Hirschi’s theory provides two facts that make me believe that males are more criminogenic than females.

It has been shown that bottlenose dolphins use vocal labelling. This refers to their tendency to use a specific acoustic signal when faced with certain object. This vocal labelling is used to by the dolphins to communicate to their kin the presence or absence of a particular object. They were also able to create an identity signal‚ unique to them‚ in the form of a signature

Discuss the evolutionary theory of gender development (8+16 marks) The traditional picture of evolution is of a man being the hunter and a woman being the gather and child bearer. The role division may have evolved because women would have spent most of their adult life either pregnant or producing milk or both. If a woman spent time hunting this would reduce the groups reproductive success‚ hence why they are left to grow crops and make shelter and clothing to contribute. Not only does this complementary

I am not a proponent of the feminist theory so my initial answer to whether the theory should be applied to Stan is no. However‚ I do think one of the techniques used could be beneficial to Stan. The technique of gender role analysis (Corey‚ 2015) may help Stan (Corey‚ 2015) to understand how his perception of male expectations are might be affecting his depression and addictions.
