SOC 2106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Marxist Feminism, Phenology, Labeling Theory
Document Summary
Social constructionism: one of the fathers is w. i. If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences. Tannenbaum wrote about crime and community, and how communities dramatize evil (particularly around the youth gangs, violence). Across time generations have always looked at the current youth and says they are deviant. (people have always been bullied but today there is a big fuss as people are committing suicide and people are aware thanks to technology) Edwin lambert wrote about social pathology: primary deviation: rule breaking (smoking joint). Secondary deviation: agreement with societies reaction (parents disapproval). (lambert was originally studying stuttering and its stigmatization. ) Howard becker: stigma: degradation ceremonies such as court proceedings. Saying someone is a convict, or making fun of someone, is a degradation ceremony. Retrospective reading: reassesses past behavior in light of deviant status (thinking i was previously cheating, though emotionally, since i currently an a cheater, physically).
