According to Kendall (2012)‚ sociology is “the systematic study of human society and social interaction.” (p.5). It is the study of societies with emphasis on modern and complex societies. Sociology is also the study of the development and structure of the human society. It is concerned with group activities such as how people interact with each other and their behavior during the interaction. Sociology includes four major sociological perspectives: functionalism‚ conflict theory‚ symbolic interactionism

Oftentimes the entire structure crumbles‚ leaving a pile of rubble in which survive. Shown in(B) is one of the many masonry homes to collapse during the 1988 Armenia earthquake (M6.9)‚ claiming nearly 25‚000 lives. The failure is called soft-story collapse. Soft-story collapse is a common problem in commercial building where the first floor has considerable open space for

Chapter 1: Introduction to Seismic Vulnerability Assessment 1. Background Earthquakes and other natural hazards can create disasters of uncontrollable magnitudes when they hit large metropolitan areas. Earthquake risk assessment is used to quantify potential social and economic losses from earthquakes. Risk assessment is an integral part of disaster mitigation. It provides the critical information about on the characteristics of potential disasters in a region and allows planners to identify

a. Social problems result from the ways in which society operates: connect this to the 3 sociological theories on how society is viewed to “operate”. There are many different opinions on what causes poverty. For instance‚ according to the structural functionalist perspective‚ poverty is caused by institutional breakdown. 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

Structural weakness Typically‚ 1970’s structures may require additional strengthening as part of the refurbishment works. Analysis of whether any loadbearing components have been removed should always be conducted so as to determine if bracing is supported and any other evidence of structural issues. Moisture Structures typically built in the 1970’s would have fewer weather tightness concerns. Although‚ weathertightness can occasionally be an issue if any fitted cladding has deteriorated over time
