Document Summary
In order to understand the violence of language. Postmodern methods aim to capture movement, change, and dynamics. Causes and effects aren"t necessarily linked in a causal or linear manner. Chaos theory: find the unpredictable ways in which order can arise out of disorder. Highly predictable effects can be the results of seemingly insignificant differences, which will amplify over time causing large scale effects in society. Similar to conflict theorists, feminist criminologies claim that conflict is inevitable. Patriarchy: structuremen possess greater powers, especially over women. System of male domination that can permeate all aspects of social life, and in this system, all things that are considered masculine are typically more highly valued than all things considered feminine. The division between the owners and means of production is gendered, so that the capitalist class is dominated by men, implying that women can only aspire to be working class proletariat workers. Examine power struggle and power dynamics between men and women in society.
