The Davies J-Curve theory suggests that as long as a person's expectations match their reality, they will be satisfied. However, if a gap develops between expectations and reality, it can reach an unacceptable level and lead to social unrest or revolution. The Arab Spring is given as an example of this theory in action.

The document summarizes a theory that revolutions are most likely to occur when a period of social and economic progress is followed by a short period of sharp reversal. This creates expectations of continued progress among the populace that are frustrated when conditions deteriorate. Three examples are discussed in more detail: Dorr's Rebellion in Rhode Island in 1842, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. All are said to fit a pattern where a period of gains is followed by threats to those gains, fueling a revolutionary mood. The goal is to understand the conditions that lead to revolution or prevent its occurrence.CALIFORNIA EDD FILING PROCEDURE

Students go to school for several reasons, including to get a good job, make more money, gain a broader worldview, and better participate in democracy. In school, students learn norms and values of the status quo through the "hidden curriculum," including nationalism, passive learning, and respect for authority. Schools also tend to encourage competition over cooperation. A student's cultural capital, or cultural exposure and worldview gained from family, directly impacts their future socioeconomic status. However, wealthier students generally have more access to educational resources and opportunities. Overall, the document examines factors like socioeconomic status, private interests in education, and inequities in educational opportunities that pose social problems in the U.S. education system.Cultural pursuit 01-2016*

This document discusses poverty and deprivation in the United States through a series of slides. It begins by arguing that "deprivation" is a better term than "poverty" to describe the condition. Several slides then provide statistics on the number of Americans experiencing deprivation, including over 45 million people or 15% of the population. Specific groups that experience above average rates of deprivation are identified as minorities, children, single mothers, the disabled, and veterans. The document challenges common stereotypes about those experiencing deprivation. It concludes by discussing the concepts of absolute and relative deprivation.Exploited laber in us and global

The document summarizes two incidents of fires in garment factories - the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York that killed 146 workers, mostly young immigrant women, and a 2012 fire in Bangladesh that killed 112 people. Both fires occurred in factories where exits were locked, trapping the workers inside. The Triangle fire led to increased safety regulations and unions fighting for better conditions, but another fire in Bangladesh just two months later showed that issues of locked doors and unsafe conditions persisted abroad.Everything you own

Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma was a prosperous African American community in the early 1900s that proved black people could create a successful infrastructure (paragraph 1). The community was wealthy because residents supported one another and money circulated many times within the community, taking a year sometimes to leave (paragraph 2). However, on June 1, 1921 the largest massacre of non-military Americans occurred when the Ku Klux Klan led a race riot that destroyed 35 city blocks and left over 800 people injured and 10,000 homeless (paragraph 3). The riot was triggered by white folks who had returned from WWI poor and jealous of the wealth of black veterans, yet the black community received no restitution for the destruction of their homes andTriangle fire

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911 was one of the deadliest industrial disasters in U.S. history, killing over 140 workers, mostly young immigrant women between 14-48 years old. Managers had locked exit doors to prevent theft, trapping many workers inside as the fire spread. The fire increased support for improved factory safety standards and workers' unions to fight for better conditions in sweatshops.Media 01 2015 incomplete

Marshall McLuhan argued that the medium itself, not just the content, should be the focus of study. He gave the example of how a light bulb enables the creation of spaces during nighttime that would otherwise be dark. McLuhan wrote that electronic mass media collapse space and time, enabling global interaction and living. Today, the "global village" metaphor describes how the Internet allows global communication and linking of websites across borders, with implications for new sociological structures and cultures.Environment student soc 5 5 sp2014

The document discusses various environmental issues such as deforestation, climate change, pollution, and their causes and impacts. It notes that deforestation in the Amazon rose significantly from 2000-2009 mainly to clear land for cattle pastures and agriculture. Approximately 80% of deforestation is attributed to agriculture. Cattle breeding in Brazil also contributes as it is profitable and currency fluctuations have incentivized expansion. These activities release greenhouse gases and damage habitats, wildlife, and global climate stability. Solutions proposed include renewable energy, more fuel efficient vehicles, and using hemp as an environmentally friendly alternative.Environment 5 7-14

The document discusses various environmental issues facing the world, including rapid urbanization, pollution, global warming, and access to water. It notes that the number of cities with over 1 million people has risen from 86 in 1950 to 400 today, and is projected to reach 550 by 2015. Half the world's population now lives in urban areas, up from only 3% in 1800. Issues covered include air pollution from cities, deforestation of the Amazon, rising sea levels threatening small island nations, and challenges achieving agreements on climate change. It also addresses that over 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and thousands die daily from water-related diseases, while privatization of water resources has expanded water companies' control over drinking water inAn Introduction to the introduction of sociology

The document discusses several key concepts in sociology as outlined by various sociologists. It begins by discussing how insanity is rare in individuals but common in groups, and how understanding social forces is the first step of sociology. It emphasizes C. Wright Mill's concept of translating personal troubles into public issues to understand how individual experiences intersect with broader social influences. The document also discusses Max Weber's view of sociology as interpreting social actions and their outcomes.

Gender is defined as a social and cultural construction rather than purely biological.

It also notes ongoing issues like the gender pay gap and underrepresentation of women in political office.Family aug 2014

This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on the family. It defines the family, discusses how family structures have changed over time and varied across cultures, and examines trends in marriage and divorce rates in the United States. Key points include:
1) Sociologists view the family as both a pattern of behaviors and set of cultural expectations. The family is the basic social unit and provides economic cooperation and care for children.
2) Family structures have changed with different eras - hunter-gatherer families differed from agricultural or industrial families. In modern times, roles of men and women have evolved.
3) Marriage and divorce rates in the US peaked in the 1960s and have declined or leveled off since7 days of garbage

This document discusses the use of theory in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. It provides definitions of theory for quantitative research as sets of interrelated variables and hypotheses about relationships between variables. Qualitative research may use theoretical lenses to guide examination of important issues and populations. Theories in qualitative research can emerge inductively from themes in the data. Mixed methods research can incorporate deductive testing and inductive emerging theories, and theories can act as lenses to guide studies.More Related Content

But when reality begins to drift away from what is "expected" at some point there is the "unacceptable gap" at which the stage for social resistance, or revolution, is met. Consider the "Arab Spring,"
