Deviance in "American History X"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing racial hatred
and deviance as they exist in the skinhead movement and as they are portrayed in this film.
Within the movie and within the international skinhead movement, it appears that
exposure does increase activity. As that activity becomes more common, people come to
be more accustomed to it and less troubled by it. The most troubling deviance may not be
that which drives the skinheads, but rather that which allows the movement to grow by
adding greater numbers. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Different Perspectives of Socialization within Society and The Development of the Concept of Self
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the different perspectives of socialization in society in relation to self-image and adaptation. Socialization for individuals within society takes place from different perspectives as members of society change their roles throughout their lives and must learn the different socialization tactics related to each new role they adopt. Children and adolescents learn from the failures and successes within the socialization process which helps them to adapt to new stressful situations in addition to developing their self-image. Success in the socialization process creates a positive self-image whereas failures in the socialization process may lead to negative self-image. In addition to members within society adapting to new roles, which also include joining organizational institutions which use a variety of socialization tactics for newcomers, people from other cultures also have to learn various tactics for socialization within their new society. Sociologists advocate that society has developed a great many inequalities in the divisions between groups which exist and depending on the success or failure of adaptation through socialization, newcomers in societies will also form concepts of their self-image which may or may not allow them to conform and cross societal divisions.

Disliking Certain Foods: Nature Versus Nurture
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Since the dawn of man, people have been eating a variety of foods in order to maintain nutritive balance. Ancient man sampled an assortment of berries, foliage and animal flesh as a means by which to obtain all the necessary vitamins and minerals needed to give him energy. Of course, he had no idea at that time the importance – or even the existence – of nutritive value; rather, he just knew he had to eat to stay alive, and he chose foods that were pleasing to his palate. As time progressed and food choices continued to expanded, people began to eschew certain foods for having too much of a different taste; however, this attitude did not always come from a preconceived notion about that particular food's unappealing flavor. People are both taught and inherently opposed to disliking various foods, with culture, religion, health concerns and individual taste buds representing some of the most important influences upon the nature versus nurture aspect of disliking certain foods. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
