  4. Elements of Culture • Beliefs: definitions and explanations about what is assumed to be true. • Values: social agreements about what is good and bad, right and wrong.

  5. Elements of Culture • Norms: socially defined rules of behavior. • Sanctions: consequences for conforming to or violating norms. • Symbols: language, gestures, and objects whose meaning is commonly understood by the members of a society.

  6. Three Types of Norms • Folkways - customs and manners of society. • Laws - formal norms backed by authority. • Mores - norms with a moral basis.

  7. Structural-Functionalist Perspective • Society is composed of parts that work together to maintain a state of balance. • Social pathology - problems result from sickness in society. • Social disorganization - rapid social change leads to anomie.

  8. Conflict Perspective • Society is composed of groups and interests competing for power and resources. • Marxist theories: social problems result from class inequality in a capitalistic system. • Non-Marxist theories: conflicts arise when groups have opposing values.

  9. Symbolic Interactionist Perspective • Human behavior is influenced by meanings that are created and maintained through interaction with others. • Labeling theory: a social condition or group is viewed as problematic if it is labeled as such.

  10. Stages in Development of a Social Problem • Societal recognition • Social legitimation • Mobilization for action

  11. Stages of Conducting a Research Study • Formulating a research question. • Reviewing the literature. • Defining variables. • Formulating a hypothesis.
