The opponents to this viewpoint say that in a liberal democracy where particular minority groups are protected from being targeted, majorities and minorities actually take a markedly different shape on every issue; therefore, major...

Racial Mixing York Times
2,040 wordsCurrent Events (1) We live in time when conceptual validity of sociological theories is being undermined by demographic trends within Western societies.

The existence of...

Men And Women Wealth And Power
2,215 wordsPhysiological differences provide the material base of status between the two sexes, but it is the determined processes of social practices that transform these sexes into genders.

19 Th Century Paine Argued
1,347 wordsThe debate over the distribution of property and the unnatural inequality it produces has long troubled political thinkers, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau mused in his Discourse on the Origins of Inequality: It is obviously contrary to the law of nature, however it may be defined for a child to command an old man, for an imbecile to lead a wise man, and for a handful of people to gorge themselves on superfluities while the starving multitude lacks necessities.
