Topic: why inequality creates disorder

Summary


Inequality refers to a state in which individuals in a society do not have equal social status. The cause of inequality is social scarcity value, which many members of society value, but rare values are divided differently, which in turn leads to social inequality. In any society of any age, people's physical characteristics, talents, interests, etc. are different, so social status is given based on these differences, which eventually creates ranking. 

Interesting
I knew that inequality was due to scarcity after all. Precisely due to scarce resources. And that's what everyone wants, but not everyone can have. These resources continue to change as times change. This means that the causes of inequality continue to change. 

Discussion
Resources are worth scarcity. What would happen if everyone wanted something not sparse? Rarely, conflicts arise and eventually leads to inequality. So without these conflicts, does inequality disappear?

W9. Introduction to Sociology / Deviance

Sum mary   Deviation refers to the act of violating cultural norms. Violating the law is usually called an official deviation, and the act of violating informal social norms is called an informal deviation. Deviation can vary considerably depending on culture. Deviations defined by sociologists have many forms. Merton suggested a type of deviant behavior. According to him, the type of deviation is presented based on two criteria. The first condition is the adherence to personal motivation or cultural goals. The second condition is the individual's belief in how to achieve the goal. By selecting these conditions as Yes or No, there are four types and one additional type. The four types appear to be suitability, innovation, realism, and retro. One additional type is "rebellion," which refers to an individual rejecting both cultural goals and means of achievement, replacing or creating new means and goals. Structural functionalism argues that deviant behavior plays an impo

Dramaturgy (Sociology)

1. Summary -       Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective commonly used in micro-social explanations of social interactions in everyday life. In drama sociology, it is argued that the elements of human interaction depend on time, place and courtesy. The dramatic view is one of several sociological paradigms separate from other sociological theories because it analyzes context rather than examining the causes of human behavior. In the dramatic model, social interaction is analyzed in such a way that people live their lives like actors acting on stage. There are also seven important factors identified by Goffman regarding performance. The steps represent three areas (front, back, outside) where you can find multiple individuals with different roles and information. Front stage is that part of the individual’s performance which regularly functions in a general and fixed fashion. The backstage allows the performer to relax, put his front down and escape the character without speaking
