Study Notes
Race
- Race encompasses blood/kinship ties, tribal/ethnic connections (biological), and power structures/politics/government (social).
- It also involves social interactions (self and others) and legal definitions (like being 1/8th Black).
Ethnicity
- Ethnicity is distinct from race, as groups often lack a common language.
- Ethnicity includes cultural elements like land, religion, customs, traditions, and intersectionality (overlapping identities).
Prejudice
- Prejudice is a negative attitude toward certain groups and their members. It's irrational.
- Four types of people regarding prejudice and discrimination:
- Unprejudiced non-discriminators: Those who don't discriminate but also don't speak out against prejudice.
- Prejudice discriminators: Active bigots who preach intolerance and demonstrate prejudiced behavior.
- Unprejudiced discriminators: Bystanders who aren't prejudiced but don't speak out against it.
- Prejudice non-discriminators: Timid bigots who hold prejudiced beliefs but won't openly express or act on them.
Discrimination
- Discrimination is unequal and harmful treatment of individuals based on group membership.
Minority Group
- A minority group is distinct from the majority population due to physical and cultural characteristics.
- Minority groups often experience unequal treatment with less access to power and resources.
Modes of Relations
- Five ways groups/people interact in relations to prejudice and discrimination:
- Assimilation (forcing one's religion/culture).
- Segregation (causing isolation).
- Expulsion (forcing a group to leave).
- Subjugation (oppression/domination through economic means).
- Annihilation (genocide, deliberate extermination of a group).
Sex and Gender Roles
- Biological aspects and cultural constructions influence views on sex and gender.
- Different figures, like Aristotle and Confucius, had varying perspectives on the roles of women.
Judeo-Christian Patriarchy
- A system of pervasive male dominance in family, religion, politics, economy, and academia.
- Gods/goddesses, free men, children, mothers, and slaves were seen as distinct social categories.
Population Growth
- Global population has grown dramatically from 1.8 billion to 8.2 billion in the 1960s and now.
- Natural growth factors include mortality and fertility rates, and life expectancy.
- Other factors like immigration and urbanization have also contributed to population increase.
Suburbanization
- The movement of people from urban areas to surrounding suburbs is called suburbanization.
- Several factors like car manufacturing, mortgage programs, and political factors spurred this trend.
- Urbanization is the opposite.
- Consequences of this included issues like poverty, unemployment, and collapsing school systems.
Ecosystem
- Ecosystems are complex networks of living and non-living things interacting.
- Environment represents conditions around living things and how they impact them.
- Environment and Population factors, Affluence and Technology impact Sustainability and Health.
- "Carrying Capacity" is a limit on a population that the ecosystem resources cannot exceed without negative consequences.
- Affluence, or high levels of material comfort, often leads to high consumption and environmental damage.
Theories on Environmentalism and Religion
- Religious systems provide beliefs, practices, and values.
- Functions like defining the sacred, explaining life (including its struggles), offering salvation, and giving guidelines for daily living have religious purposes,
- However, religion has also played a problematic role, sometimes justifying persecution. (e.g. witch hunts, religious wars)
Conflict Theory on Religion
- Conflict theorists believe religion is often used to maintain power structures, legitimize inequality/injustices, and control people.
Functions of Education
- Schools transmit a range of cultural values and roles from the family to society, imparting knowledge and skills.
- Academic and vocational skills are taught, along with research and innovation.
- Role of schools in childcare and other social services is noted.
Hidden Curriculum and Conflict Theory
- Hidden curriculum within education involves social attitudes taught that prepare students to fit into a larger society's expectations.
- The standardized society's credentialing system (gatekeepers: universities) plays a role in shaping access to resources and opportunities.
- School violence, budgeting, and access are important policy issues.
Global Inequality - Focus on Colonialism
- Colonialism involves the colonization of people and territory with adverse/negative impacts on the colonized people.
- Diverse forms of colonialism exist (e.g. colonies of rule, of settlement), each with repercussions.
- Impact on cultures and societal structures. Negative consequences of colonialism included widespread genocide and exploitation.
Decolonization and Development
- Decolonization is about regaining independence from colonial powers.
- Stages of decolonization, global hegemony, and nation-building occurred across many places.
- A key focus is thinking about how to improve economic development, given the inequalities from past colonial interactions.
- Different strategies for development often emphasize Industrialization, focusing on the economic impact of development.
Inequality in Post-Colonial Societies
- Societies that experience colonialism remain unequal.
- Inequalities stem from the structures implemented during colonization, including economic practices and social arrangements.
- Often, countries that were colonized are still reliant on the export of a few commodities for the global market.
- This reliance is sometimes exacerbated by a continuing focus on exporting commodities, making these economies vulnerable to market shocks.
