Means Of Production Marx And Weber
1,563 wordsPerhaps if I believed strongly in the work of one theorist, this paper would not prove to be so difficult. The truth is, I find each classical theorists work to hold certain underlying principles, which justifies their ideology- therefore, I can not disagree. Whether it is Smith, Marx or Weber, they all have some basic premise, which it would be difficult for opponents to negate. That is why I have decided to present the work of perhaps the three most important theorists, who established the gro...

Voter Turnout Twentieth Century
1,779 wordsAre Voters Fools? Throughout the twentieth century there has been a large debate on the explicit knowledge of the voting public. As unfortunate as it may seem, the political scientists and theorists of our nation have not placed much belief in the knowledge of these people. The voters of America have been criticized in studies and de fragmented in surveys as these political theorists try to answer the un daunting question, are voters fools? The answer is not one single comprehensive study indeed...

Sociological Theory Conflict Theorists
1,133 wordsRalf Dahrendorf When we try to explain why things happen to us, or whats going on in our world today, or why things are different now than they were before we always deal with sociological processes. Sociological theorists think similarly to the rest of us, but, perhaps, in a slightly more organized fashion. We think of social theory as an abstract from our own social experiences but the ideas that we call social theories are intricately interwoven with the familiar practical experiences of ever...

Cross Sectional Criminal Justice
1,323 wordsThe career criminal, or, more pointedly, those individuals who participate in criminal acts on a regular basis for both a central and constant source of income has, generally, a specific set of identifying factors which, while conclusive in laymen's terms, fail to meet the criteria necessary for scientific inquiry. While definitions exist as to what a career criminal is, the research methods employed in determining these definitions are a large point of contention for criminal justice theorists,...

Center Of Gravity Political Leaders
4,798 wordsClausewitz and the Nature of War In seeking out the fundamental nature of Clausewitz's own mature theories, perhaps the best place to start is with some of the most common misconceptions of his argument. Such misconceptions are almost always the product of writers who either never read On War (or read only the opening paragraphs or perhaps a condensation) or who sought intentionally (for propaganda purposes) to distort its content. The books specific arguments are very clearly stated and rarely ...

Heroin Addicts Anabolic Steroids
4,574 wordsThere are few other social problems that are surrounded by more myths and misinformation than drug use. The confusion actually starts with the meaning of the term. Many people believe that only illegal substances such as heroin, cocaine, or marijuana are drugs, but alcohol and tobacco alter the minds and moods of those who use them and can be just as dangerous as illicit drugs. Also drug use is not limited to a few deviants on the margin of society. Drugs are a big business: Canadians spend bill...

Emile Durkheim Michel Foucault
4,310 wordsThis paper is an attempt to do something that is probably not a good idea. I am going to try and take the ideas of some of the most prominent postmodern Sociological thinkers and mesh them together in some sort of coherent format. The purpose of this paper is to provide a starting place for people interested in postmodern Sociological thought. There really is no one all-encompassing postmodern theory, or a group of like-minded postmodern theorists. In fact this notion is antithetical to much of ...

Law Enforcement Agencies Members Of Society
1,225 wordsMarijuana is the second most popular drug after alcohol in the country today. So many people smoke marijuana that the numbers alone seem to legitimize and condone its presence in peoples lives. Yet, even in moderation marijuana is not safe. Somehow this information had not filtered down to people who think they are smoking a fairly innocuous drug. Our society perpetuates the myths about pot being a fun, harmless, recreational drug. These myths feed into peoples denial of marijuana's problems (Ba...
