Marxist Theory and Contemporary Societal Stratification
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page of Marxist theory and how that theory pertains to contemporary social stratification. The author of this paper contends that although our contemporary society appears to be evolving toward a society of classes composed of the very rich and the very poor, there continues to exist a definitive middle class. Even when compared to the theories of Max Weber, multidimensional theories of social stratification, our society differs significantly. The reasons for this difference relate to the fact that civil rights in America today are quantum leaps ahead of what they were during the lifetimes of these two men. This is true from both a societal perspective and an economic perspective. The author concludes, however, that Weber’s multidimensional theories of social stratification continue to outweigh the Marxist view of social stratification in terms of applicability to contemporary U.S. society.

Men and Women Relationships: Inequality in Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the relationships between men and women and the existence of inequality within marriage. The increasing role of women in the workplace often leads to disparity and inequality within marriages which is more obvious today as in the past because inequality still exists when both spouses are working. The traditional roles of women responsible for domestic tasks and child care while men were responsible for primarily working outside of the home were largely accepted well into the 20th century. However, within the last several decades, women are almost as equally represented in the work force as men but despite this, most studies on equality within marriages still report that women have a disproportionate share of the domestic tasks and child care responsibilities in addition to their professional career. What is surprising most of all from these findings is that the majority of couples surveyed still report that equality within a marriage is important even though their practices do not reflect this belief. Tutorial language appears throughout in square brackets to assist in research writing. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Mental Health Parity Act: Interplay of Policy, Cultural And Societal Attitudes Within Clinical Social Work Practice
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. To discount mental health as playing an integral role within the scope of holistic wellbeing is akin to believing living beings could survive without sunlight. The mind and body work in the same synergistic fashion as the sun and moon; failure to maintain each aspect to its optimum level inherently impacts the other to the point where the system as a whole fails to operate. Insurance companies have historically ignored this alliance between body and mind in the quest to avoid providing coverage for mental illness; only when they were mandated to recognize this critical connection as spelled out in the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 did they finally extend the same treatment options to those with mental illnesses as they always had to those with physical ailments. Moreover, the Act also compelled insurance providers to take into consideration the extent to which cultural and social origins played a role in the onset and continuing presence of a mental health issue.
