Accepted Answer

Jackson's analysis on how homeless people organize their living space in homeless shelters is focused on the individual level of the homeless people's behavior and actions within the context of the shelter. This falls under the microlevel of analysis in sociology.

Question 3

A______________analysis focuses on small groups rather than large-scale social structures.

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

The symbolic interactionist perspective focuses on how individuals use symbols and language to interact with each other and create meaning in society. It emphasizes the importance of micro-level interactions between individuals and small groups in shaping social behavior and cultural norms.

Expensive houses,clothing,motor vehicles,and other consumer goods.

It refers to the display of one's wealth and status through the purchase of expensive and ostentatious consumer goods. Option A, "massive consumption" and option C, "random consumption" do not accurately reflect the specific behavior described by Veblen. Option B, "representative consumption" is not a commonly used term in the context of social science, and does not accurately describe the behavior described by Veblen.

Question 8

According to the______________perspective,in social encounters,each person's interpretation or definition of a given situation becomes a subjective reality from that person's viewpoint.

Accepted Answer

This question is referring to the concept of symbolic interactionism, which emphasizes the importance of individual interpretation and meaning-making in social interactions. Symbolic interactionists argue that people actively construct their own realities through their interactions with others and their interpretations of symbols, gestures, and other communication cues. Therefore, each person's subjective reality may differ from others' based on their unique experiences and perspectives.

Question 9

Sociologists applying a______________framework to the study of consumerism would primarily focus on a microlevel analysis of people's face­to­face interactions.

Accepted Answer

A symbolic interactionist framework would focus on the meanings and symbols people attribute to consumer goods and how this shapes their interactions with others in their social world. This approach is focused on the micro-level of social interactions and would be less concerned with larger social structures or conflict between classes.

Question 18

According to feminists,we live in a(n)______________,a system in which men dominate women and in which things that are considered to be "male" or "masculine" are more highly valued than those considered to be "female" or "feminine."

Accepted Answer

Patriarchy is the social system in which men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege, and control of property. Feminists argue that patriarchy oppresses and marginalizes women, and that it assigns more value and importance to masculine traits and behaviors than feminine ones. Autarchy refers to a system of government in which a country or nation is self-governed and self-sufficient, matriarchy is a social system in which women hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership and moral authority, and monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch such as a king or queen has the power to rule the country.

Question 20

In relation to the study of education,the______________perspective would emphasize the daily activities within the schools,the various forms of communication between teachers and pupils,examine the influence of peer groups,and look at the reaction when school rules are broken or followed.

Accepted Answer

The perspective that emphasizes the daily activities, communication, and relationships within schools, and the reactions to following or breaking rules is the symbolic interactionist perspective. This is because symbolic interactionism focuses on the meanings that individuals give to symbols, such as language and gesture, and how these meanings shape social interactions and relationships. By looking at the everyday interactions between teachers and pupils, as well as peer groups, the symbolic interactionist perspective can reveal how social meaning is created and reproduced within the school environment.
