“Effects of neighborhood and family stressors on African American male adolescents’ self-worth and propensity for violent behavior.” Most citizens of the world live in an urban environment. By 2030, only one-third of the world population will be residing in rural areas as the majority of the people move to towns and cities. Sociologists have tried to use numerous methods to explain this trend, but are now using urban sociology to explain. The sociologists have been attempting for long to explore the social changes that take place in society as citizens move from rural to urban areas. As a result, the earliest attempt to develop urban sociology borrowed ideas from the model of biological ecology. However, it did not consider class, ethnic, and racial conflict that would characterize 21st-century societies. Modern scholars such as Max Weber, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engel laid the foundation for contemporary sociological theories, including urban sociology.

The three understand that social organization considers other factors such…

The main aim of many advertisers has been to make a positive impression using sexist adverts, but most of the cases have gone in the wrong direction. Often, adverts on several media platforms are targeted to a specific audience, a factor that creates a discriminatory kind of perception towards a certain group. For example, the use of young girls in the advertisement of toys has created a feeling of discrimination towards young boys and has caused alienation towards what toys should be used by what gender and much generally has caused gender crises. The 2017 advert by Mr. Clean on the importance of men who could sweep has not gone well with several viewers who feel that the advert has employed a wide range of sexism in passing information that could be adopted in a much better way. The portrayal of cleaning duties to belong to ladies and the fact that ladies can only pay using sex are sexist actions that should not be promoted on…

The first time I realized that heterosexuality was the norm in society was when I was in my earlier stages of school. I remember very well I was about eight years old we were having lunch with the other pupils in our school. One of the girls who was bigger than the rest of us asked us to confess which boy we loved in class. It was interesting that all the girls were attracted to a different boy in class, and others were their desk mates. A certain boy in class also kept coming where I was, and he liked spending time with me. I also recall one time my neighbor, who was a boy coming to request me to join him play a game. This went on for a long time, even from other of my boy neighbors and church mates. I don’t deny the fact that I was also enjoying their company and even went to call them during weekends so…
