This is the sociological perspective of crime that fully takes into consideration, the behavior of criminal as well as the society around the criminal. Since there has been great influence of finding out the biological and psychological grounds of crime, contemporary perspectives on crime explain the origination of crime out of social contexts (Guarino-Ghezzi and Trevino, 23)
The theory has given rise to situational emphasis by criminologists in restricting the crime events and making them more difficult to take place. This theory supports the notion that change in physical environment of potential crime scene may limit the ability and tendency of criminal to break the law (Maguire, Morgan & Reiner, 161)
James Q. Wilson and Richard Herrnstein have presented this account of crime in which both sociology and biology have been involved for determining the behavior of criminals (Walklate, 45)
Additionally, altruism, democracy, and other aspects of society, within such a capitalistic design, were used to control the masses, which was not in the best interests of preserving society and social order.

In the last two years of his life Du Bois lived in Ghana. His books include The Souls of Black Folks (1903), The Negro (1915), Black Reconstruction in America (1935), Color and Democracy (1945), The World and Africa (1947), and In Battle for Peace: The Story of My 83rd Birthday (1952) (Kivisto, 2004)
Du Bois are commemorated in two places on earth. One is in Accra, Ghana, where his life ended and where the Republic of Ghana has built an impressive burial site and research centre, and the other is in the town of his birth, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where a group of citizens has purchased his childhood home in order to create a local memorial park (Paynter & Glassberg, 2010)
Washington, who believed that unskilled blacks should focus on economic self-betterment, and Marcus Garvey, who advocated a "back to Africa" movement, Du Bois demanded that African-Americans should achieve not only economic parity with whites in the United States but full and immediate civil and political equality as well. Also, he introduced the concept of the "talented tenth," a black elite whose duty it was to better the lives of less fortunate African-Americans (Zuberi, 2004)
As another sociologist, Michael D. Grimes notes, "Thus, the conflict theoretical perspective contains implicit background assumptions about human nature and society that stress man's importance relative to society and tends to stress social instability and change as central elements" (Grimes 17)
. To be free, women must understand the source of their oppression and how to control it" (Guttmann 23)
Two sociologists, Mary Ann Lamanna and Agnes Reidman note that as recently as the 1960s, at least 70% of black families were united by marriage. Today, only 35% of black children live in a family with married parents, and only 48% of black families are married (Lamanna and Reidman 28-29)
5%, but among blacks it was 10.9% - nearly twice as much (Weathersbee)

There is no doubt about the fact that for a better and more improved healthcare, it is better that the needs of the patients are considered in a more detailed manner. These are the details that can lead to greater and much better social change (Denzin, 2012, p
When changes are being made in the field of healthcare, these changes should be based on the needs of both rich and poor patients rather only the richer ones. There is no doubt about the fact that the negativity in the society will increase if the role of all in the society is not taken into account in a proper manner (Harris, and Joseph, 2003, p
The beliefs and the power of interpretation of an individual has been given more importance by functionalism. Thereby, there has been an increased acceptance in the society of the concepts given by functionalism, especially in relation to changes that can be brought by these individual beliefs (Lang, and Moleski, 2010, p
These institutions include lawmakers, policymakers and political institutions. In healthcare, all policies that are finally designed or changed are based on the advices and contributions of the higher authorities and privileged ones (Sitton, 1996, p
" George responds, "You know we're living in a society!" The implication, in both cases, is that a common social understanding exists in society about common courtesies in matters like waiting for one's turn for telephones and in accommodating ordinary polite requests for information like the time of day, even when the request comes from a complete stranger. Symbolic Interactionism in Seinfeld: Symbolic Interactionism is a sociological theory according to which people tend to ascribe specific meaning to arbitrary things, to interpret those meanings through their social interaction with others, and to modify those meanings in relation to their perception by others (Gerrig & Zimbardo 2005)
Sociology - Sociological Perspective SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE and SEINFELD Structural Formalism in Seinfeld: Structural formalism or "consensus structuralism" is the sociological theory according to which common social understandings and basic moral agreements play important roles in society, keeping it in a social equilibrium, the most natural state of society (Henslin 2002)
Indeed, it is the micro-sociological theory. Interactionists believe that the only accurate way to understand society is by looking at the thousands of interactions between and among people as individuals (Charon, 2009, p
