...P1: explain the principal sociological perspectives. In sociology there are six main principal perspectives and these are Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism, Interactionism, Postmodernism, Collectivism and New Right. Functionalism In 1951, Talcott Parsons introduced the Functionalist view and this studies the social structure as a whole of how it functions as well as how each social structure is crucial in the interests of society. Functionalism believes that humans and the society have basic needs, institutions and governments might be responsible to meet the required needs of people also the functionalist may consider that they are different kinds of sources that could limit the individual’s behaviour within the chosen society, meaning that the society will behave appropriately based on one’s behaviour while having the same values, on the other hand the functionalist view does recognise that there may be errors or inequalities within the society but bearing in mind this can be functional for the society. However there have been criticisms against functionalism as some may believe that it is not a realistic way of living and not considering one’s own choices also functionalism may seem to ignore conflict and diversity within individuals in the society. Parsons sees inequalities as a well function to society as it helps in the running of society or community. The main key idea of functionalism is to ensure smooth running of the society and this is done through the structures...

It will then look at factors that may lead to abusive situations and assess the possible immediate effects of two different forms of abuse.

...Unit 11 Task 2 In this essay I will be outlining key legislations and regulations which govern safeguarding adults work. Legislation is a law or set of laws suggested by a government. Regulations are rules that then have to be following that coincide with the regulations that are set. I will also be outlining working strategies and procedures used in health and social care to reduce the risk of abuse. Care Act 2014 Before the care act came into place people had different rights for different types of care. So the care act 2014 made it simpler. It ensures that service user’s personal budget was recognised by law to give more rights and prevent abuse. It helps reduce risk of service users suffer from financial abuse and from discriminatory abuse. They should protect adults at risk of all types of abuse. Equality Act 2010 The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. It replaced previous anti-discrimination laws with a single Act, making the law easier to understand and strengthening protection in some situations. It sets out the different ways in which it’s unlawful to treat someone. The equality act protects you from harassment which is when you are subjected to unwanted behaviour that makes you feel intimidated, humiliated, or degraded, or that creates a hostile environment, because of your age or another protected characteristic. For example, if a nurse repeatedly made jokes about your age, which were offensive...

...Unit 11 – Task 1 Amy Santon Task: Describe forms of abuse that may be experienced by adults The first form of abuse that may be experienced by an adult is sexual abuse. This form of abuse can start in a number of different situations for a number of different reasons. There are different severities of this particular form of abuse as it can range from unwanted sexual advances to unwanted contact. An individual who has experienced a form of sexual abuse could be left with a loss of dignity as their immediate reaction. This is a potentially dangerous situation as the individual could begin to start feeling depressed if the advances don’t stop as they will feel as if they have no control over what I happening to their body. In some cases if the issue is not resolved it could lead to the individual feeling as if they have no other choice than to leave their job, or move house. Not only could the individual suffer from immediate effects but they could also suffer from long term effects. Some of these effects may be things such as depression and metal scaring. If the incident was severe enough then the individual may build up negative prejudiced ideas. For example if the person who sexually assaulted them was a male then the individual may start to think that all men are the same and may not trust men anymore and they may go out of their way to attack this specific group of people. Another long term effect could be that they feel as if the incident was their fault and could...

Abuse is something that happens all around us on various occasions sometimes it is not as recognisable as other times because it is done discreetly and the victims of the abuse are too intimidated to speak up about their issues. In this task/assignment I will be focusing on safeguarding adults and promoting independence. Adults can experience various types of abuse, such as: Physical abuse; sexual abuse; neglect; emotional or psychological abuse; institutional abuse; domestic abuse; self-neglect/harm, exploitation, discriminatory abuse and verbal abuse. Physical abuse is the use of physical violence towards an individual that may result in a body injury or physical pain this includes: hitting, punching, slapping, throwing certain objects, pulling hair, biting and scratching etc… Or it could be a threat of a physical force to intimidate another person. It is Illegal to be using force or any types of physical contact to a resident preventing them to do what they plead. For example restraining an adult by pushing them down and locking them in their room is a sign of physical abuse. However an indication that an adult might be experiencing physical abuse would be for example unexplained injures over their body, withdrawn from...

Many applications insulate themselves from failures by checkpointing. For many applications, checkpointing into a shared single file is most convenient. With such an approach, the size of writes are often small and not aligned with file system boundaries. Unfortunately for these applications, this preferred data layout results in pathologically poor performance from the underlying file system which is optimized for large, aligned writes to non-shared files. To address this fundamental mismatch, we have developed a virtual parallel log structured file system, PLFS. PLFS remaps an application’s ...
