University of Alberta professor of psychology‚ Jeff Schimel’s experiment on self-projection indicated that we see in others what we fear in ourselves. Keeping this in mind‚ racism does then serve a purpose. Using the functionalist perspective in Sociology‚ racism suppresses and discriminates against people of distinct physical differences. Plainly‚ it keeps minorities working for cheap and without hopes of reaching their full potential; this also keeps the dominant working

There is a degree to which individual factors play the most decisive role in contributing to homelessness; however‚ there is a main structural factor that contributes to homelessness and it is the economy. Even though capitalist love part-time workers‚ they are creating a risk for them to become homeless. Those who work part time have to work twice as hard as a full time worker to make ends meet and in some cases fall behind on their bills in order to have their basic needs met. However‚ what is

Examples of this are economic institutions that don’t provide enough jobs or pay‚ education institutions that don’t provide the members of society with enough education and skills to find good employment‚ family institutions‚ and government institution that fail to offer enough support.

“Assess the Functionalist view that religion benefits both society as a whole and it’s individual members.” According to research carried out by sociologists‚ almost 90% of the world population follow a religion.

Functionalist vs. Symbolic Interactionist Functionalists believe that each aspect of society is interdependent and contributes to society’s functioning as a whole to create stability or work toward the same common goal. The government‚ or state‚ provides education for the children of the family‚ which in turn pays taxes on which the state depends to keep itself running. The family is dependent upon the school to help children grow up to have good jobs so that they can raise and support their own

Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the functionalist view on society. Functionalism is a consensus perspective‚ whereby society is based on shared values and norms into which members are socialised. For functionalists‚ society is seen as a system of social institutions such as the economy‚ religion and the family all of which perform socialisation functions. A strength of the functionalist theory is that it a macro level structural theory which uses an organic analogy- using the body as

QUESTION 1 / SOALAN 1 The reinforced concrete beam shown in Figure 1 carries an imposed live load of 12kN/m2 and a dead load of 12 kN/m2 as shown in the diagram. Given‚ fcu = 30 N/mm2‚ fy = 460 N/mm2‚ fy‚ links = 250 N/mm2. The beam is exposed to a mild condition. a) Determine whether the beam is singly or doubly reinforced beam. b) Determine the main reinforcement for the beam using a design chart. c) Determine the shear reinforcement for the beam. d) Check whether the deflection
