Social Problems Amongst The Homeless
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Homelessness is not a disease that afflicts only a certain segment of the population. No different than the next person, those who have no permanent address or source of income in the Midwest still have certain shared basic needs that have great difficulty being met when they are perpetually represented as inferior and unworthy of such needs. Human nature is defined by myriad elements, not the least of which is the social need to categorize people into distinct groupings based upon certain criteria. These innate classifications can represent significant social power, as in the case of beauty, wealth and status, or they can symbolize aspects of society that people would just as soon forget, such as the homeless. For this population to become able to fully function within a society that expects perfection from those who least possess it, the presence of myriad internal and external social considerations reflects the protective shield against this happening.

Social Resistance
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length.

Social Theory: Recreation, Leisure And Play
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Play, leisure and recreation all share the common denominator of bringing forth happiness within the context of social identity, a theory that "provides a foundation for explaining the different roles people can play in leisure contexts and predicting how those roles shape the person's sense of identity and belonging" (Devine et al, 1999). To define the theory even further, its intrinsic group association establishes 'ingroup' mindset whereby an individual categorizes and inevitably boosts himself within that group "in ways that favor the in-group at the expense of the out-group" (TCW, 2004).
