Sociological Concept Analysis

245 Words1 Page

Another sociological concept is culture which is defined as “the ways of thinking, the ways of acting, and the material objects that together form a people’s way of life” (Macionis 2017, p. 44). Every culture is different but they all common elements which include symbols, language, values, and norms. In this case, I will be writing about the element of language.
In America, we live in a society where English is the most commonly used language. For my dad, he had to forcefully adapt himself to live in an American culture. He learned how to speak English to be able to function in the society. Coming to America, also made him change his values. Back home in Mexico, going to college was not really an option in his family but now that he is here

  • The Hunting Ground Sociological Analysis

    557 Words  | 3 Pages

    The documentary called The Hunting Grounds, had multiple concepts that relate to sociology. Using a sociological perspective, it was very prevalent to see the ways college campuses use patriarchy and gender stratification to keep women who have been sexually assaulted on campus from disclosing information or even getting help about these issues. Through the discrimination against women at these gender institutions the women formed a Feminist movement to bring awareness and help to the victims on campuses all around the world and to stop the assaults from reoccurring. The Hunting Grounds is a documentary that reveals the untold stories of women on college campuses and how these women have fought to have their voice heard about sexual assault on campuses. Sexual assault and rape on campuses has always been a major problem for colleges all over the world yet very little has been done to protect the students.

  • Sociological Analysis: The Outsiders

    303 Words  | 2 Pages

    The “Outsiders” made me think about the rules that groups give us are strongly founded on what they see as defiance. It made me think that some rules are given within a group are not remotely necessary and that we as a society are to blame for what is deemed as “socially acceptable”. Deviants may not even be actually deviants but that’s what they are labeled by society because they think, what the deviant did was wrong, which could be made up by what society thinks is okay behavior. The relation to this reading and the sociology course shows how society controls us and how they consider we should act. It reminded me of how society tells us as women that showing off our body parts is deemed as trashy and not lady like, but men can do so without

    Language is the basic verbal expression of culture. Language is so abstract, yet people manage to say a lot with mere words. The structure of language helps determine how one is likely to view the world and it determines how people think. An illiterate does not have the ability to construct abstract thoughts until it has had some academic experience. The way in which they go about learning wholly depends on their culture.
