What Is The Difference Between Agencies Of Formal And Informal Social Control And Evaluate Their Relative Effectiveness, Including Legal Sanctions and Informal Sanctions

What Is The Difference Between Agencies Of Formal And Informal Social Control And Evaluate Their Relative Effectiveness, Including Legal Sanctions and Informal Sanctions Many sociologists argue that people are more likely to commit crime when the social constraints on their behaviour are weakened. Control theory is mainly concerned with identifying the factors which prevent individuals from committing crimes. Writers in the tradition of Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, and Karl Marx have commonly focused on two observable processes in the regulation of standards of behaviour and sentiment. These are the use of social sanctions to deal with rule-breakers, that is, people who do not conform to approved behaviour patterns; and secondly, in psychological terms, the internalization of norms and values, by which acceptable modes of conduct become "second nature" routines of life that can be taken for granted. In its intense version, social control is exerted by totalitarian rulers in the form of terror organizations such as secret police; censorship of the press and other media; propaganda; and repressive laws regulating most forms of human behaviour and communication, such as freedom of speech, and even human sexuality. Social control is s large aspect of an individual's socialisation process. This process helps enable a person to fit into society and respect shared norms and

Informal Writing: Imaginative or Creative Assignment

Informal Writing: Imaginative or Creative Assignment Statement of Intent The purpose of this diary is to examine the character Blanche in the novel A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. Blanche is the main character in the story, in which all the characters in the novel revolve around her. She explains her relationship with Stella and her abhorrence towards Stanley. She tries to keep her illusionary world safe from danger, since it is the only source left for her to feel secure and avoid from the harsh reality that she faced other than Stella. This diary is written with lots of description to show her illusions, as Blanche becomes further and further into her own world and eventually mixes up between reality and illusion. The diary begins with her first encounter with Stanley, in which Blanche is still conscious about her thoughts. She would express her views towards other characters and eventually end with the horrific rape with Stanley, when she has a breakdown and eventually loses everything, when all her possessions have been taken away. Dear Diary, Finally! I have reached New Orleans! I haven't seen my baby Stella for so long! Oh...Stella for Star! What a journey! Bath and rest is absolutely necessary to refresh myself after such an arduous journey. However, my entrance to the house was not great; small, uncomfortable; what a

Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector, Unit 1, question 4

(4) Analyse different ways in which you would establish ground rules with your learners. 250-300 words In all class situations it is vital to have some ground rules put in place. The teacher needs to establish rules and guidelines on appropriate ways of expression/behaviour and argument and to generate an atmosphere of mutual respect. In defining these guidelines, we must appreciate the cultural and religious differences, gender, social class, or academic level. In the further education sector, students are expected to have a certain level of maturity and are considered adults. Therefore rules should be negotiated amongst the group. In the first session, I would use this time for introductions and any ice-breaker activities. Time would then be spent discussing the outline of the course and the student expectations. In an informal setting the class rules could be discussed and negotiated. If time is an issue, the rules of the class could simply be listed on the board and discussed by the group to determine if they are agreeable. Informal groups could then complete an activity such as a brainstorm, on what they believe to be good rules or guidelines. The groups then present their ideas to the rest of the class. Another way to introduce ground rules to the students would be to make a list of some practical and well used rules and ask the students to list some additional

public privet and volentry sector.

Public sector. Public sector services are provided for the public and collectively paid for by the government. Their operation is ultimately accountable to elected bodies, including local council and parliament. The public sector regards the provision of leisure service as a social service to the community rather than as a profit-making venture. Consequently local authorities usually provide subsidised, or in some cases free, services for the communities they serve. In so doing they cater for the needs of gropes such as school children, young mothers, the unemployed the disable and the elderly. The public sector can be at one of two levels: national government or local government. The latter includes county councils, metropolitan councils, unitary authorities and district council. Historically, national government has seldom been a direct provider of leisure facilities in the UK its main task is to make the laws which govern their provision and provide assistance to a wide range of organisations representing the leisure and recreation industry. The government has four main functions: Planning and control: setting the boundaries for leisure provisions to ensure that development of the industry is in line with government policies Marketing: promoting the benefits of leisure activities. Financial provision: providing funding through distribution of government monies

Examine the role of formal and informal social control in controlling individuals

Examine the role of formal and informal social control in controlling individuals' behaviour. In Emile Durkheim's early writings, he stated that society must have some form of boundaries to behaviour that is acceptable. Social control provides the basis for society to police its boundaries and is the way that societies deal with the deviant and criminal behaviours that a minority of societies members subscribe to. There are two types of social control, formal, which is practiced by specific social agencies which have the role of maintaining order in society, and informal, which is where social interaction pushes society's members back into conformity. Most societies tend to have a mixture of informal and formal control mechanisms, and the balance depends upon the type of society. In societies like that of Britain, which is highly multicultural, it is suggested that since a collective conscience is basically impossible to achieve, formal methods of social control are more useful. According to functionalists, without control and punishment, society would collapse into a state of anomie. They suggest that the process of prosecution provides a constant means of checking whether the law reflects the views of the majority in society. With formal social control, it is suggested that if someone commits a crime, they will be punished by the justice system accordingly. For example, if
