...Outline some of the function that the education system may perform (12) Functionalists have a consensus perspective on society. Functionalists see society as a living organism, in which everything has to work together and in order to keep it alive. They believe that society should have shared values of which they are based on and socialised to. The sociologist Durkheim studied 3 concepts of functionalism in education; the first of these is specialist skills. It consists of employing the most skilled people, into the most skilled and difficult jobs and so that their skills can be passed onto the next generation. This concept however can be criticised by the fact that specialist skills don’t always mean that the brightest students get the best jobs, and the fact that these jobs have been ‘graded’ and then socialised to, even though without binmen (for example) the world would be much more difficult. My other Durkheim concept is that of society in miniature. (In education) Durkheim portrays that school replicates society, just on a smaller scale thus helping students to integrate into the society of the real world much more easily. This can be linked with specialist skills as the cleverer students go on to achieve educational rewards, much like they would in the real world for example with wages. Similarly, Davis and Moore, who also came up with 3 concepts on functionalism in education, they are role allocation, sifting and sorting and stratification. Role allocation judge’s...

...Outline and assess the view that the role of the education system is to reproduce and transmit culture. This essay will outline and asses the view that the view that the role of the education system is to reproduce and transmit culture. According to Bourdieu, the major of the education system is cultural reproduction. This does involve society as a whole, as Durkheim argued, but, instead, the reproduction of the culture of the ‘dominant classes’. These groups have the power the power to ‘impose meanings and to impose them as legitimate’. They are able to define there own culture as ‘worthy of being sought and possessed’, and to establish is as the basis for knowledge in the educational system. The high value placed on dominant culture in society as a whole simply stems from the ability of the powerful to impose their definition of reality in other. The possession of dominant culture is referred to as cultural capital by Bourdieu. This is because via the education it can be translated into wealth and power. Children of dominant classes acquire skills and knowledge from pre-school which puts them in an advantage because they have the key to understanding what is being transmitted in the classroom. Bourdieu claims that, since the education system presupposes the possession of cultural capital, which few students in fact possess, there is a great deal of inefficiency in teaching. This is because working students simply do not understand what their teachers are trying to...

Partial answer: [fair rewards] • Immediate gratification: wanting rewards now, or leaving school as soon as possible to get a job, or similar. • Cultural capital: the values, etc that the middle class transmit to their children or that confer advantage in the education system. • Compensatory education: additional educational opportunities/resources directed at deprived or under-achieving pupils. • Cultural deprivation: a lack or deficit of values (or of norms, attitudes, skills or knowledge).

...Explain what is meant by the ‘correspondence principle’ The correspondence principle is all the lessons that are taught to you in school but they are not directly taught. For example, simply through every day workings of the school, pupils become accustomed to accepting hierarchy and competition. Suggest three criticisms that other sociologists may make of the functionalist view of the education system? Functionalists see education as a process that instils the shared values of society as a while, but Marxists argue that education in capitalist society only transmits the ideology of a minority, the ruling class. The interactionist Dennis Wrong argues that functionalists have an ‘over-socialised view’ of people as mere puppets of society. Functionalists wrongly imply that pupils passively accept all they are taught and never reject the schools values. Unlike Davis and Moore, the New Right argue that the state education system fails to prepare young people adequately for work. This is because state control of education discourages efficiency, competition and choice. Outline some of the ways in which government educational policies may have affected social class differences in educational achievement? Marketisation brought in a change in selection policies, it brought in a funding formula that gives the school the same amount of funds for each pupil, also exam league tables that rank each school according to its exam performance and make no allowance for the level...

...Sociology of Education Unit 10 What do Marxists say about the education system? Learning targets: • Marxists see that the ruling class or 'bourgeoisie' rule the workers or 'proletariat'. • The bourgeoisie have the wealth and the power to rule. The proletariat are exploited because they are not treated fairly. • Marxists argue that the education system plays a key role in disseminating the ideology of the ruling class. • Education acts as a force of oppression for the children of the working classes Key questions (AO1) What do Marxists believe? (AO1) How do Marxist theories apply to the education system? (AO2) What strengths are there to the Marxist view of education system? (AO2) How have Marxist views been criticised by other writers? Summary of key points Marxists see capitalist society as being ruled by the economy. The minority, the ruling class or 'bourgeoisie' rule the majority, namely the workers or 'proletariat'. The bourgeoisie have the wealth and the power to rule. The proletariat are exploited because they are not treated fairly. This is the basis of class inequality. Institutions such as organised religion, the mass media, the political and the education systems all reinforce the ideology that the rich and powerful should control society. They promote an ideology or belief that our society is fair and just and...

...correspondence (similarity) is important as it prepares the new generation to accept their roles in a capitalist society. 02: Suggest three criticisms that other sociologists may make of the functionalist view on education system. (6 marks) The first criticism by other sociologists would be by Melvin Tumin (1953), who criticises Davis and Moore for their role allocation theory. He says that this argument is seen to be circular, as we know which job is important by which one is more highly rewarded and the highly rewarded jobs are more important. Therefore, how do we really know which jobs are important and which aren’t, as bin collecting jobs are not seen to be important however they earned £24,000 and £26,000 and are seen to get bonuses up to £4, 000 but their job isn’t seen to be important in society or doesn’t require such skill. So how do we really know which jobs are important in society? The second criticism against Davis and Moore is that the New Right argues that the state education system fails to prepare young people adequately for work, so it is highly unlikely that the individual will get to the job they are best suited for. This is because the state control of education discourages efficiency, competition and choice, as schools are unresponsive to the consumers such as pupils, parents and employers; this means that schools waste money or get poor results. They believe that marketisation of education will empower consumers as there is now competition so schools...

...capitalism. Vocation or calling, Calvinist’s introduced the idea of this worldly asceticism, which meant constant methodical work in occupation and was a religious duty. Again preparing people of life under capitalism as it requires hard work. Weber did not say that Calvinism was the cause of modern capitalism, but that it was one of the causes. Weber’s theory is often seen as a direct assault on Marx’s theory. Bruce was interested in the relationship between religion and social change he compaired two examples of religiously inspired protests movements in the USA, the civil rights movement and the new Christian right. According to Bruce the black civil rights movement in the 1950’s and 1960’s was an example of religiously motivated social change. Bruce sees religion as an ideological resource; it provides beliefs and practices that protesters could draw on for motivation and support. In the civil rights movement Bruce...

...Outline and evaluate Right realist explanations of crime and deviance Crime is an act of behaviour that goes against the formal written laws, such as murder. Deviance is an act of behaviour that goes against the norms and values of society, such as being loud in the cinema. Right Realists believe crime is a real problem to be tackled not just a social construction (Interactionism) due to a significant rise in crime especially with street crime such as burglary and assault. They are concerned about the widespread fear of crime and about the impact of crime on its victims and argue other theories have failed to offer realistic solutions. In this essay I will outline and assess Right realists explanations of crime by referring to Wilson, Marsland, Hircshi, and use New right theorists Murray and Clark to support and criticise them. Right realist share New Right/ neo-conservative views about the underclass causing and committing crime. They argue that crime has become out of control and that society should get tougher on crime with harsher sentencing. In 1980s and 1990s society witnessed increasing levels of crime. Wilson is the father of Right Realism. He was a right wing policy advisor to Ronald Regan and had a very conservative view. Thus believing people are responsible for their own lives. He rejected the claim that the economic recession was to blame for the crime explosion due to the economic boom in the 1960s was accompanied by a huge rise in crime too. Wilson argued men...

...families, Functionalists believe that the nuclear family is best for society. Functionalists look at what the functions the family performs and they therefore say that the nuclear family is best for society. For example functionalists believe that traditional domestic roles (for the male to play an instrumental role as the breadwinner and the female to do the dual-burden) are necessary to ensure that children are socialised correctly with both male and female role models. Functionalists believe that the nuclear family is perfect for bringing up a geographically mobile workforce which allows families to move about for work easily, for example Functionalists believe during the industrial revolution nuclear families became more common as it was easier for families to move to an urban area in search of work than if it was for example an extended family. Conflict theories such as Marxism and Feminism challenge the Functionalism and the consensus of society by taking a more critical view. Social historians such as Laslett and Anderson also criticize the functionalist view of a ‘Functional Fit’ in the family. The main supporters of Functionalism in the family are Murdock, Parsons and Fletcher – each with their own views on how the nuclear family benefits all the members of the family and society as a whole. One of the first functionalist sociologists was G.P Murdock (1897-1985). He believed that the nuclear family provided sheer practicality to meet the needs of each member. He conducted...

...Outline and asses the view that vocational education simply trains workers for exploitation. A Labour prime minister in the 1970's said that Britain was facing a skills crisis. Pupils were leaving school unemployable, lacking the knowledge and skills needed for Britain to compete in the global economy. This was the main reason why new vocationalism was introduced to train young people and to provide the economy with skilled workforce. On these vocational courses students are taught technical skills such as plumbing and construction. Marxist would argue that vocationalism doesn’t simply train workers for exploitation but also produces inequalities. That the real function of vocational education is to serve the needs of capitalism and tofurther produce existing inequalities.They would also argue that vocational schemes are interpreted as helping legitimise class division because they promote the idea that the middle class receive education whereas the working classes receive training. As the elite have their own schools which are known as public schools where they are not taught vocational courses this allows them to get the higher status and better paid jobs and further promotes inequality.Althusser argued that the main role of education in society is to reproduce of an efficient and obedient work force. This is achieved through schools by transmitting the ideology as school teaches individuals to compete with their pupils by trying to do better than them. It also trains future...

...Different perspectives and interpretations of history will always bring about contrasting views on how something should work. The government’s role within a capitalist economy is debated by Milton Friedman and Mark Martinez, who each have different ideas on the level of involvement the government should play within this type of economy. Friedman believes the government’s role in a capitalist economy should be limited to the point of only acting as an “umpire” to the market (1970). Martinez, on the other hand, maintains that the essence of a capitalist economy is derived from the government’s active participation with the market (2009). In Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom, he outlines that the government’s responsibility in a capitalist economy should be limited to protecting our freedom from both an international and domestic standpoint, to maintain law and order, to uphold private contracts, and to look after competitive markets (1970). The Marxist view, given by Howard Sherman in Reclaiming Evolution, says “a pure market capitalist system means that you can buy anything, so there would be no limits on political spending” (2000:94). Friedman’s view on the government’s role understands the need for some government regulation to avoid things like limitless spending, but would have any intervention contain a meaningful purpose and a swift conclusion. Under the classical liberalism perception any additional government involvement or regulations, other than what is outlined...
