The three perspectives that relate to this problem are functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Functionalism is defined as “mental states that are identified by what they do rather than by what they are made of.” A functionalist point of view of social problems is that it helps to evolve society. It also “suggests that social problems must be functional in some ways for society, because otherwise these problems would not continue” and “that many social problems do serve important functions for our society (Barkin 18).” A functional perspective on education is that it implements the education as crucial social structure contributing to society along with its values. This approach we understand that with education, it enforces students to go to school to become a working part of society. And with tuition, we learn to be a part of society and learning its true value and it teaches us how to be a part of a cost and earn status quo. So with this sociological perspective, tuition and universities allow students to educate themselves on the knowledge of various information along with helping to accumulate an income while understanding how to become a part of society by trying to avoid a large amount of student

Communities are sometimes largely unaware that social factors rather than medical ones, such as income, and employment status, shape our health. Our health is also determined by the health and social services we receive, and our ability to attain high education levels, food and safe housing, among other factors.

The social determinants of health are the circumstances that impact and surround people, since are born, grow, work, live, and age, education, income, race and gender, and the broader set of powers and systems that shaping the circumstances of daily life. It is important because it impacts all aspect of daily life of people, and it caused direct and indirect health problems.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms embody the ideals of our nation and present a series of fundamental freedoms so that citizens are enabled to receive equality and can feel safe and included within their society. One of the main things that the Charter has promoted is that the enforcement of a law does not necessarily make it fair for everyone. Different people require different treatment in order for full equality to be attained. However, at one point the Charter failed to recognize the needs of a very prevalent group – homosexuals. The Charter was approved in 1982 and devised a list of protected cases such as gender, race, religion and etcetera, but it failed to acknowledge sexual orientation. However, in 1985 a report titled

In Ontario, police officers that have died in the line of duty are commemorated annually at a memorial recognizing their service (D’Aleisio). Officers who have taken their own lives while serving on the police force are not recognized at this memorial, bringing to light the question of discrimination against mental illness and disabilities.

Education still remains the institution that indorses equality of opportunities in America society as the textbook explains. Even though education diminishes inequality among individuals with different backgrounds, inequality still exists in the sense that not everyone who graduates from high school has the same opportunity to attend college. Individuals born into wealthy family will have more opportunities in attending college compared to someone born to a poor family. Although, opportunities are more limited in America, having education will compensate those that do well in school by rewarding them with life opportunities. Social class, race, and gender play a major role for education success, experiences, and outcomes.

Substantive equality prescribes equal treatment to all people regardless of the circumstance and situation. It involves achieving equitable outcomes as well as equal rights to everyone and eliminates inequality. Canadian human rights law does not advance the rich, purposive understanding that Justice L’Heureux-Dube advocates. The idea of Human rights ought to be universal and apply to everyone because it is a cultural system. From an international stand point there is a limited amount of enforcement mechanism, international human rights is trying to establish norms where people will voluntarily work towards, this is closer to norms that don’t have a very strong mechanism. Often times in human rights, human dignity is brought up. When looking at Canadian Human Rights law, there are two main things to think about. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Provincial and federal human rights acts or codes. Both of these are enforceable by

Education had huge effect on American society today. People who are educated have a better chance of living in today’s world. Now days, if you apply for a job but you have little or no education then there is no guarantee that you will get a good job. Education gives knowledge about what is going on around you and can

It is crucial for employers and Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing employees to understand and comply with the relevant government legislation in terms of Employment. Relevant government legislation for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing employees include: the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, Ontario Human Rights Code, just to name a few.

The Ontario human rights case is about Micheal bates, he alleged that he was discriminated against because Zurich insurance charged him higher premiums for his automobile insurance than a young, single female driver with the same driving record or drivers over the age of 25.

Education is a complex bundle of services and the future payoffs are uncertain. Parents and students face difficulties to evaluate the quality of the education service provided by schools to their children.

There are a couple of differing theories on the role of education in our society. The Functionalist Theory focuses on the ways that universal education serves the needs of society. Functionalists like to view society in, well, “functions.” Functionalist think everything serves some type of purpose or function. “They perceive five different functions to be: the economic role: teaching skills work, the selective role: choosing the most able people for the most important jobs, the secondary socialization role: teaching norms and values, social control: teaching acceptance of rules and authority, and social cohesion: learning about other cultures.” Functionalists tend to think we all have the same opportunities from the start of school, and that it is up to the individual on what he or she decides to with those opportunities. Thus, in a functionalist perspective, inequality is not an issue; a functionalist would say you have the same opportunities whereas

“Healthy individuals cannot survive when society is sick.” On the other hand, aspects of social structure influence health and illness. Social factors not only affect life expectancy, but the possibilities the one will experience diseases and in turn, the health care that they will receive.

This becomes problematic because those able to afford an education have the opportunity to progress leaving those who can’t behind. Thatdoes not serve the Jeffersonian ideal of “nurturing the talents of the poor as well as the rich for the greater good of society”. So the education system has a divided soul; on one side it is an enterprise and on another side it is the means for students to gain economic prosperity. People have overlooked the real importance of attending a university that is to gain knowledge that can

Satisfying social needs is another positive function of social policy. Need for education is a typical example. Hong Kong is a knowledge based economy. It is very difficult to find a job if a person has not received any education. Therefore the demand for education in Hong Kong is very huge. The HKSAR government provide 12-year free education for all citizens, including 9-year compulsory education. The government also give pre-school education vouchers to parents. It comes that the government almost provides 15 years of free education, which almost cannot be seen in the rest of the world. By providing free education to citizens, it can foster the social mobility, which means the grass-roots level of society to move up to the middle and upper income level by acquiring more knowledge and qualification through receiving public education. From the society aspect as a whole, the government providing free education to all its citizens can accumulate knowledge in the society and can increase the competitiveness of Hong Kong.
