...a number of theories of crime and deviance from a Structural Functionalist perspective. In case this sociological perspective is not clear to you, the first part of these Notes is given over to a brief overview of this perspective. If you are familiar with this perspective, then this overview will serve as revision material... The second part of these Notes will provide an overview of some of the basic themes and theories put forward by writers working within this general perspective to explain crime. Functionalism: An Overview The Functionalist perspective is a form of Structuralist sociology and, as such, we can initially characterise it as a form of macro sociological theorising. In this respect, the main theoretical question addressed by sociologists working within the Functionalist perspective is that of: * How do social systems ("societies") hold together? In their attempts to provide an answer to this question, Functionalists have initially concentrated upon two ideas that are closely related to the above: 1. How is order maintained in any society? 2. What are the main sources of stability in any society? As you might imagine - given that the theoretical emphasis seems to be placed on rather grand questions about the nature of social systems - Functionalist sociologists are not particularly concerned with an examination of individual ideas, meanings and interpretations. We will look in more detail about why this should be the case...

...an organisation, use one management theoretical approach that you have studied to explain how the organisation was structured and how it functioned. Your essay should also address how this theoretical approach can be used to analyse the effectiveness of the organisation and achieving its goals? The author of this assignment firstly will give a definition of management in order for the reader to understand the key element of this assignment. This assignment will give a brief outline of the history of management theory while also giving a detailed explanation of these management theories. The assignment will then describe the organisation briefly and its main function using the organisations mission statement to do so. The assignment will then show which management theory is used in the organisation and will give examples of when these theories are applied. This will give the reader a better understanding of how the organisation functions whilst relating theory to practice. “Management is concerned with planning, organising, coordinating, commanding or controlling the activities of staff” McKimm & Phillips, (2010). According to Cole (1996), developments in management originated with practising managers as well as social scientists. In recent times it has been academics or management consultants that have influenced the development of management. The classical theories came from the two greatest classical theorists, Henri Fayol (1841 – 1925) and F.W Taylor (1856 – 1951)...

... Families and Households This Answers book provides some possible answers that might be given for the questions asked in the workbook. They are not exhaustive and other answers may well be acceptable, but they are intended as a guide to give teachers and students feedback. The responses for the longer essay-style questions are intended to give some idea about how the exam questions might be answered. Again, these are not the only ways to answer such questions but they can be treated as one way of approaching questions of these types. Topic 1 Functionalist and New Right views of the family How have functionalist and New Right thinkers explained family life and the relationship between families and social change? 1 The organic analogy refers to the extended comparison made by functionalists between the human or other living body and society, with the organs of the body equivalent to institutions and structures in society. 2 Primary socialisation refers to the first and most important stage of the socialisation process by which young children absorb the norms and values of their culture, mainly from their parents. Note: make sure your answer explains both ‘primary’ and ‘socialisation’. 3 One way in which the nuclear family is more suited than other types of family to modern industrial society is that it allows for geographical mobility; it is easier to move a nuclear family to a new area for, say, a new job than to move an extended family. A second...

...(Major 1/2) [pic] First year English module M1 (CEF: B1) Windesheim Business School Authors: Dinand Warringa, Marianne van Vlierden, Ellen Keates August 2014, revised 1. Introduction For you, personally, the question is whether or not your English meets the requirements demanded of a student in Higher Education. In terms of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF) this means this module aims at reaching the B1 level of proficiency in Business English. However, regardless of your previous field of study, no exemption will be granted for following the Start-Up English module as we thoroughly prepare you for all other Business English modules you may have in the future. The module consists of seven two-hour lessons in which you will be able to display your language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Whether or not you have the necessary knowledge to meet the required level of proficiency will be tested in a written (multiple choice) examination during the exam period. The final grade must be at least 5.5 for you to be awarded the 2 credits available for this module. Again, this module serves as the starting point for all English courses at the Windesheim Business School, irrespective of your field of study. We believe it is of vital importance to not only acquire passive language skills but also practise and acquire active skills in English. Make sure that you actively participate in the English classes to prepare yourself...

...laws of society. * Deviance- refers to the behaviour which is disapproved of by most people in society and which does not conform to society's norms and values. TOPIC 1: FUNCTIONALIST, STRAIN AND SUBCULTURAL THEORIES Durkheim's functionalist theory: * Socialisation and Social control are two key mechanisms which allow social solidarity to occur in society. The inevitability of crime: * Functionalists see too much crime as destabilising society. * They also see crime as inevitable and universal- Durkheim, 'crime is normal... an integral part of all healthy societies.' * There are two reasons why C&D are found in all societies; 1.Not everyone is equally effectively socialised into the shared norms and values. 2. Different groups develop their own subculture and what the members of the subculture regard as normal, mainstream culture may see as deviant. * Durkheim also discusses that in modern societies there is a tendency towards anomie (normlessness). The diversity of modern societies means that the collective conscience is weakened, and this results in higher levels of C&D. The positive functions of crime: * For Durkheim, crime also fulfils two important functions; boundary maintenance and adaptation. * Boundary Maintenance- In Durkheim's view, the purpose of punishment is to reaffirm society's shared rules and reinforces social solidarity, this is done through the rituals of the courtroom which dramatises the wrongdoing and stigmatises...

...Organisations therefore consist of individuals, groups, and relationships. Objectives, structures, systems and processes are then created to give direction and order to activities and interactions. OB is thus of great concern to anyone who organises, creates, orders, directs, manages, or supervises the activities of others. It is also of concern to those who build relationships between individuals, groups of people, different parts of organisation between different organisation, for all these activities are founded on human interactions. OB is therefore concerned with:1. The purposes for which organisations are created 2. The behaviour of individuals, and an understanding of the pressures and influences that cause them to act and react in particular ways. 3. The qualities that individuals bring to particular situations. 4. The creation of groups i.e., collections of people brought together for given purposes. 5. The background and context within which activities take place. 6. The relationships and interactions with the wider environment with other organisations and groups. 7.
