Text of the page (random words):
ntest some of these features of the mainstream but what most if not all of these versions of american sociology have in common however scientistic versus critical they may be is that they are ultimately animated energized and made significant by one of two historical narrative traditions apart from these two narrative traditions sociology itself would hold little human interest to anyone why should any but a few technical experts care about significance tests fieldnotes network structures oversampling techniques or interaction effects it all means nothing without a larger context and purpose neither of which sociology itself could possibly supply instead if and when sociological work is compelling it is usually because sociology is being carried along by one of two extrascientific narratives one an optimistic mobilizing story the other a fairly cynical unmasking story the first i will call the narrative of liberal progress the second of ubiquitous egoism the former narrates reality roughly as follows once upon a time the vast majority of human persons suffered in societies and social institutions that were unjust unhealthy repressive and oppressive these traditional societies were reprehensible because of their deep rooted inequality exploitation and irrational traditionalism all of which made life very unfair unpleasant and short but the noble human aspirations for autonomy equality and prosperity struggled mightily against the forces of misery and oppression and eventually succeeded in establishing modern liberal democratic capitalist welfare societies while modern social conditions hold the potential to maximize the individual freedom and pleasure of all there is much work to be done to dismantle the powerful vestiges of inequality exploitation and repression this struggle for the good society in which individuals are equal and free to pursue their self defined happiness is the one mission truly worth dedicating one s life to achieving for sociologists whose scholarship and teaching is embedded within and offered in the service of this liberal progress narrative the important tasks are clear studies in nearly every field of the discipline but particularly in the areas of social stratification race and ethnicity sex and gender poverty work and occupations family economic sociology must work to identify privilege exploitation prejudice and unequal opportunity in order to inform cultural practices and policy and legislative reforms that will make society more free equal and fulfilling for its individual members in particular this means identifying and critiquing class inequality racism sexism heterosexism corporate exploitation and other forms of discrimination privilege and injustice for some sociologists this struggle takes the form of rigorous quantitative analyses for example of the causes of poverty the dynamics of welfare use the prevalence of dead end jobs the correlates of teenage pregnancy whose findings speak to politicians technocrats and other institutional leaders in the best case one s work provides the intellectual backbone of some actual policy initiative the movement toward which ideally invovles an invitation to present one s research findings at a congressional hearing on capitol hill other versions of sociological scholarship in the service of the liberal progress narrative analyze the historical movement and dynamics of liberal progress itself these include cross national research on factors influencing democratization historical analyses of civil rights movements comparative studies of international poverty and development and so on for yet other more critical sociologists the liberal progress narrative animates scholarship of a more prophetic style unmasking and denouncing the racism inherent in the criminal justice system the sexism embedded in consumer capitalism and patriarchal family structures the class exploitation of the service economy the heterosexism pervading routine social practices and legal systems the militarism entrenched in masculine culture and corporate america et cetera sociologists of this latter style pride themselves for their progressive and radical analyses said to be more critical and systemic than those their merely liberal more mainstream colleagues produce what they seem less aware of however is the common underlying liberal progress narrative that animates and makes significant all of these bodies of work as a whole christian smith moral believing animals human personhood and culture uncategorized

lot worse shows in terms of in your face violence sexism racism and classism but looks can be deceiving the constant bent of messages about friendship work class gender and race sends my kid the absolute wrong message and really that theme song makes me scream thomas can just go bust my buffers and the first paragraph there are many terrible children s programs through which parents must suffer during their child s young life for every sesame street there is an annoying caillou or an acid trippy yo gabba gabba but thomas and friends is or was the one show with enough subversive messages to make me turn it off for good relevant uncategorized nyt on diversity 1993 3 comments posted by nydwracu on july 20 2014 this is a central idea of the rape crisis movement that sex has become our tower of babel he doesn t know what she wants not to have sex and she doesn t know what he wants to have sex until it s too late he speaks boyspeak and she speaks girlspeak and what comes out of all this verbal chaos is a lot of rapes the theory of mixed signals and crossed stars has to do with more than gender politics it comes in part from the much discussed diversity that has so radically shifted the social composition of the college class since the 50 s take my own harvard dorm the adams house dining hall is large with high ceilings and dark paneling it hasn t changed much for generations as soon as the students start milling around gathering salads ice cream and coffee onto green trays there are signs of change there are students in jeans flannel shirts short skirts girls in jackets boys in bracelets two pierced noses and lots of secondhand clothes not so many years ago this room was filled with boys in jackets and ties most of them were white christian and what we now call privileged students came from the same social milieu with the same social rules and it was assumed that everyone knew more or less how they were expected to behave with everyone else diversity and multiculturalism were unheard of and if they had been they would have been dirty words with the shift in college environments with the introduction of black kids asian kids jewish kids kids from the wrong side of the tracks of nearly every railroad in the country there was an accompanying anxiety about how people behave when ivory tower meets melting pot it causes tension some confusion some need for readjustment in explaining the need for intensive orientation programs including workshops on date rape columbia s assistant dean for freshmen stated in an interview in the new york times you can t bring all these people together and say now be one big happy community without some sort of training you can t just throw together somebody from a small town in texas and someone from new york city and someone from a conservative fundamentalist home in the midwest and say now without any sort of conversation be best friends and get along and respect one another catharine stimpson a university professor at rutgers and longtime advocate of women s studies programs once pointed out that it s sometimes easier for people to talk about gender than to talk about class miscommunication is in some sense a word for the friction between the way we were and the way we are just as the idea that we speak different languages is connected to gender the arrival of women in classrooms in dorms and in offices it is also connected to class when the southern heiress goes out with the plumber s son from the bronx when the kid from rural arkansas goes out with a boy from exeter the anxiety is that they have different expectations the dangerous miscommunication that recurs through the literature on date rape is a code word for difference in background the rhetoric
