SOC 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 26: Omnivore, Hybridity, Nationstates
Document Summary
Gradual social change - small increments (upgrades?) over a long period of time -> imperceptible (concrete = traditional -> commuter marriage) Globalization - unclear definition; disaggregation -> economic, political, cultural. Globalists vs skeptics - not as widespread/extensive, not actually happening, etc. Advocates vs opponents - both globalists -> optimistic vs pessimistic. Reinforces global inequalities (rich get richer, poor get poorer) International political pressure still filtered through local contexts. International ability to respond to global problems (war, crime, environment) Global solutions: re-embedding - increase significance in local cultures -> nationalism. Love and gold (hochschild) - case study of labor migration. Care drain (brain drain) - women in developing countries who would usually take care of family leaving their countries for first world countries where women there are entering workforce -> mothers leaving to become nannies. Social structure vs institution - (class vs education) structure is broader, institutions reinforce structures.
