Sociology of Food and Eating: Food Preference and Food Choice Factors
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the sociology of food and eating and its relation to the increase in focus on food preference and selection. The sociology of food has allowed for a great deal of insight into the selection and choice of food in modern British society. Since the intense study of the sociology of food begun in the 1990s, several trends have been discovered which lead to food selection preferences. These trends include McDonalization which suggests less diversity in food selection in Western cultures, social differentiation which suggest more diversity in food selections and self-regulation or self-rationalization which correlates food selection and eating habits with the perception of the self and the body. Food preference has also been greatly influenced by industrialization, national research and nutritional guidelines and commercial and national advertising campaigns. All of these factors combine to allow the consumer to pay more attention to personal preference in foods and eating habits while at the same time allowing for individuality and diversity.

Sociology Theories & "The Rebel Without a Cause."
[ send me this paper ]
(7 pp) Explaining crime and delinquency is a
complex task. A multitude of factors exist that

biological and psychological factors hold their
own merit when explaining crime and delinquency,
perhaps sociology factors can make the best
effort to explain juvenile delinquency.

Structural Functionalist Themes in “Black Elk Speaks”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing structural functionalism in relation to themes presented in “Black Elk Speaks”. “Black Elk Speaks” as told through John G. Neihardt portrays several social and religious aspects of the Sioux while they are faced with their own destruction by the invasion of the white men. Black Elk, a holy man, provides commentary on the structure of the individuals within his own tribe through a vision he has which includes himself, all the levels in his tribe, all the men, women, children, warriors and the spirits of their ancestors. This vision and faith in their structure allows Black Elk and his tribe hope in their negotiations with the intrusion of the white man. Structural functionalism also deals with the evolution of social and religious forces which shape social and religious roles within a community and the slow religious transition and inclusion of the Catholic Mission into the lives of the Sioux allows for Black Elk as a religious leader to promote the cohesiveness of his tribe while remaining within the restrictive new laws of the country.

Structuralism in the Study of Media and Culture
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing structuralism in the study of media and culture. Structuralism is based on the premise that “societies and sociological or cultural practices can be analyzed, along the lines of language, as signifying systems [and within] structuralism the subject is decentered, in other words the central focus on the individual in much social analysis is replaced by the focus on the structures, of which the individual is just another element”. Structuralist methods apply to various divisions within the social sciences such as the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, the cultural critical of Roland Barthes, the anthropology of Claude Levi-Strauss and the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan. Structuralism plays a large part in the presentation and perception of the media as some critics believe that viewers can look beyond media reports by perceiving the signs throughout the text while other researchers, such as Barthes in his post-structural phase, believed that language was not transparent by in fact most communication was distorted and could not be presented otherwise. Structuralism overall, tends to assume that there is a structure or a “depth model” in which researchers can find the “truth” and in so doing are able to “stand outside language using the meta-languages of linguistic, sociological or philosophical analysis.
