If Sociology is the systematic study of human society, then sociological imagination is what we perceive or think about how people work and or think in a more personal and bias matter. C.W. Mills believes that merging two different theories of social reality of the “individual” and “society”. Mills challenges readers and learners by arguing many basic terms and definitions from what “we” believe are right. Chapters one and two talks about how society portrays what we know rather then the facts. Our bias opinions and beliefs often go against what science has proven.

The film I am reviewing is Hardball. The film tells a story of a ticket scalper named Conor who has gambled himself into a huge debt. In order to pay off the debt he has agreed to coach a baseball team of troubled black kids. These young kids live in the housing projects of Chicago, Illinois. At first Conor has a tough time dealing with the children.
According to Durkheim, Social fact or social phenomenon are the main subject matter of sociology. He said in one of his pieces that social fact must be studied distinct from the biological and psychological phenomenon. Social order is the trend of behavior being used to exercise power over another person. It has become rules and regulations that have been set up by some authorities to be obeyed by another group of people who are being undermined in a society, it is a situation that oppressed people and limits them from their liberties. When people go through these situations they cannot function the way they are supposed to function because they are limited by their freedom. These social orders are not only laws but rather certain norms created by the authority to put a whole race into a situation where they are very far from freedom of speech, movement, and knowledge. African Americans are an example of a race that has been through discrimination at workplaces, schools, community etc. They are one race which has been a label or put in a class where the situation will never permit you to climb the ladder of success. Although you might have all the certification, qualification, the best schools, etc. but the fact that you came from the poor class or the lower class, it becomes very difficult for the Caucasian people to give you the opportunity you deserve, because of this, the citizens of American have been grouped into different classes which are upper, middle, working,
The movie Krampus was a big hit however, they did many things opposite of the origin. The story starts in Germany on December 5th, the holiday of Krampus. The holiday celebrates Krampus, who kidnaps miss behaving children instead of giving them coal. People often dress up in costumes representing the ghoulish figure. While Santa Claus delivers gifts to good children, Krampus kidnaps or tortures bad children until he has taught them a lesson. Krampus has devilish features, horns protrude outwards being complementary demon's horns but pitch black along his fur, long curved, pointing upwards. His feet are miss matched one bear claw the other one being a hoof.

The movie starts when Mandela is released from prison, and later he will become president. When the movie begin there is ovbious separation between the blacks and whites. Mandela wants to keep the Springbox and their colors. In their first game in the movie they lose the game. Nelson Mandela wants to meet up with the Rugby captain, saying that mandela wants them to win and that he is rooting for them. Nelson Mandelas daughter doesn’t understand his methods because he was accosiating with the whites that took him to jail and were his enemies before and now he wants to accosiate with them. The Rugby team are going to do the clinics. When they got there they played Rugby with the kids for the clinics. Chester is the only black one on the team and so everyone knows which one he is. Chester gets hurt a couple days before a game. After mandela finds out Chester is hurt, Mandela gives Francois the captain of the Rugby team a letter he wrote while he was in jail. Then the Rugby team visits the jail where Mandela had stayed and Francois goes in Mandela’s old cell where he had stayed and Francois is like imagining what Mandela had went through while he was in there, and that’s when he wrote that letter. On the next game the Rugby team
How does Clint Eastwood, director of the film, Invictus, use the South African rugby team (the Springboks) as a vehicle to bring a troubled nation together?
Identify the four major sociological theoretical paradigms. For each, what are the key tenets? How does each explain how society works?
Degradation ceremonies fall within the sociology of indignation moral scope (Schwartz). As a social effect, it is an instance of a class of emotional states particular to how organized human beings can be as they live alongside each other. Effects have their behavioral paradigms; for instance, the effect of shame is seen in withdrawal or covering of the body part that socially defines an individual's public appearance, which is the eyes and face. The paradigm of shame, in this case, is seen in phrases that signify the removal of self from the public, such as "I wish the earth would open up and swallow me." The paradigm of moral indignation, therefore, is public denunciation. Moral indignation serves to influence the ritual ruin of the person
