Week 4 Discussion 1
Social Institutions
Vessing (2011) states, “society needs a variety of social institutions
in order to function adequately. However, it does appear that not all citizens
have equal access to participation in them and that one’s social class and
ascribed characteristics may limit one’s ability to benefit from them. This
disparity results in unequal access to all that the institutions have to offer”
(p. 197). Review the various social institutions discussed in Chapters 10 and
11 of the text, Sociology: Beyond Common Sense.
Based on what you
have read in the text, describe at least two institutions that do not provide
equal access? If you were asked to implement changes from a sociological
perspective, what changes would you suggest? Support your answer with detailed
examples.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
