Anti-Gay Bullying

Introduction

The newspapers has been soaked in report of latest teen suicides, teens literally bullied to death. Much of the mainstream press is describing there were five or six teen suicides in the back-to-school month of September, all the outcome of anti-gay bullying. Sadly, that number is much higher. After accounts from my readers, and after much study on localized report sites, it is clear there were not less than 10 male teen suicides over the homeland in the month of September alone. There are accounts that nearly all of these teens -- numerous who had either arrive out as gay or were seen as gay -- were bullied, and most if not all of the bullying was anti-gay bullying. I find it tough to accept as factual that even those amidst us with a vibrant fantasy can muster the creative power to image a truth in which anti-gay aggression and bullying live without the anti-gay devout notes that support them.

Definition

Conflict theory

Conflict idea begins with three assumptions, two of which are of importance for understanding stratification: 1) humanity is comprised of distinct sub-assemblys and each assembly shares distinct norms, standards, and convictions; and 2) groups in humanity are in fierce competition for restricted resources. confrontation theorists contend that conflict among assemblies will originate and, in detail, it is inevitable. The "haves" (i.e., those with social, economic, and political power) actively work to maintain the present social order in which the "have nots" have either very limited or no access to precious resources (i.e., good jobs, houses, networks, etc.) (Olweus, D. 2004).

Functionalists Theory

In contrast, functionalists accept as true that all components of humanity (and its members) work simultaneously to maintain living social relations. By this viewpoint, society is likened to a appliance - all parts function simultaneously to hold it running smoothly. Functionalists argue that stratification is normal and inevitable, and it functions to maintain stability in a given society (Monks, C. and Smith, 2000).

Symbolic interactionism

Symbolic interactionism emphasizes methods by which persons learn to behave as functional members of a society, and places large emphasis on the meanings we ascribe to demeanour (including our own and the demeanour of others). Symbolic interactionism isn't employed to study stratification as often as conflict and purposeful perspectives. although, investigations that provide work this perspective would may aim on topics such as how inequality is reproduced in interactions or how dialect can be utilised to reproduce inequality.

Analysis

In the awaken of the latest suicides conveyed out by several gay teenagers, I have glimpsed some things said or finished that I would like to address here. First of all, although, because the saying "gay bullying" is being utilised in numerous headlines, I seem like I require to clarify what "bullying" is (or, not less than how I realise and use the term) in order that the things I state underneath are not torn out of ...
