Cultural criminology Cultural criminology implies that deviance, transgression, and crime are repeatedly sub-cultural naturally. As a result, cultural criminologists usually concentrate on the concurrent forces of social exclusion and cultural inclusion whenever explaining deviant, transgressive, or criminal behavior (Frederick, 2013; p139). Indeed, this remains a particularly significant method for exploring modern gay transgression and deviance. These are deeds that are maybe closely associated with or sometimes directly result from the entire period isolation, oppression, and marginalization of homosexuals, mainly by Western hetero-normative communities. Also, such approach can assist in comprehending behaviors that stem from oppression and marginalization from sources such as the gay society itself. This paper aims to discuss how the changing theories of homosexuality contribute to people’s understanding of their involvement in deviance. Discussion Queer Theory The term queer is usually utilized as an involving term for individuals who identify themselves as LGBTI. The queer theory is simply a framework of concepts suggesting that identities are not deterministic or stable, especially relating to a person’s sex, gender and sexuality (Parrillo, 2008; p2). The theory is determined to problematizing…

Social Science Paradigms Feminism is a movement aimed at establishing equal rights among all sexes, either politically, socially, or economically. Feminist theories emerged in 1794, but it gained its popularity in the 1970s. The feminist movement is divided into three waves; the first one in the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, the second wave occurred in the 1960s and 1970s; finally, the third wave occurred in the 1990s to date — feminist theory aimed at understanding inequalities among women in politics, sexuality, and power relations. The theory advocated for legal rights among women, that is, right to vote, rights to own property, right to autonomy and bodily integrity, reproductive and abortion rights. The theory mainly focused on gender inequality. The themes included sexual objectification, oppression, discrimination, stereotyping, aesthetics, patriarchy, among others. It also focused on the upgrade of women’s civil rights and interests. The feminist theory views the social world as playing the role of illuminating forces that promote inequality; therefore, the approach was established to counter such evils.

Peacemaking theory Discuss Peacemaking theory and explain how it could be applied in America by describing a specific (practical) policy or practice. Peace-making theory state that use of force creates violence. Therefore, the advocates of this theory state that policies on criminal justice contain state-sanctioned violence. This brings more criminal violence than it is supposed to cure. These criminal laws are there to benefit individuals and not to suppress criminal violence. The federal State government should ensure that the criminal acts are there to rehabilitate the lawbreakers to become useful citizens. How might the Feminist perspective respond to the U.S.’s focus on street gang violence? Feminists view women to be different from men, both from social, economic, and political perspectives. Feminists in America have been engaging non-feminists in unending theory wars to ensure that their culture and politics considered. Therefore, if women’s treatment equals that of men, then the harassment and the rights equalized to men and women, then the movements against feminism will reduce in the streets to have more peaceful streets. According to Sutherland, how does Differential Association…

The Value of Human Life – Second Consideration What do you consider to be the most interesting of Wollstonecraft’s criticisms of how relationships between men and women operated in her day? Are her ideas still relevant today? In her writing on “Vindication of the Rights of Women,” Wollstonecraft has managed to highlight various issues that directly affected the relationships between men and women. Wollstonecraft threw the gauntlet to both the women of her day as well as the male readers, invoking the radical British and French political discourse that surrounded the earlier days of the French revolution in 1972. Wollstonecraft called for the revolution in female manners, and in her book, she proposed a model that is today known as liberal or equality feminism (Monroe & Julie. 146). Basing her argument on the assertion of universal human rights that was endorsed by enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, as well as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an allegation that underpinned both the French revolution in 1789 and the American Revolution in 1776, Wollstonecraft believed that females usually have the most critical aspects…

LDS Women and Wage Labor This research allows me to explain what I learned about this topic. The reason I chose this topic is that I felt that women are unfairly discriminated against and do not receive equal treatment as men. Also, a lot of women cannot demand for their rights because of gender differences. I chose the Clyde Archives as my first resource because it had a lot of information about LDS women’s and wage labor and how women were treated by their churches and why they couldn’t ask for their rights. After a lot of research, my part for the presentation was to talk about Mormons women’s voices. The equal right amendment or ERA, ERA had a major part in women’s lives in 1970. Feminists support it because they didn’t get treated or paid fairly in the work field because they were women. During this time, the LDS churches staunchly opposed the ERA because they were afraid that it would make a gender difference obsolete. An interview happened with lady called Anon she said you don’t really appreciate…

 Lorde review Equality is one of the most undermined aspects in society today. Everyone thinks that there is no better being than who they are in the contemporary world. The point of reference for judgment and assessment is no longer about what is wrong and what is right, but of the subject individual who is making the decision. Thus if we are not like the other person, there is no way they will come to acknowledge our ideologies. And considering that society is made of different people in the aspects of gender, race, and age, equality will become an almost unachievable goal. And that is the position that Lorde is addressing in this essay, her being black, lesbian, socialist, mother and a member of an interracial couple makes her not just an inferior person in the society but a typical deviant. This paper is an exploration of how she handles and talks about the popular intersectional feminism. In the third page, the third paragraph, Lorde assesses the difference that lies in the privileges of the white woman over the black…
