Environment

As part of a class at school you have to read this article from a sociology book. Read it and
answer the questions that follow.

1 Few experts doubt the fact that social environment plays a major role in
2 determining whether or not someone develops a mental disorder (#87), but there are
3 many different theories about how this influence is expressed. One of the earliest
4 theories among psychotherapists was that mental disorders are caused by disturbances
5 in  the  individual’s  early  psychological  development  in  the  family.  For  example,  it  is  
6 generally believed that parental love and affection are vital (#81) to the normal
7 maturation of a child. Children who are rejected by their parents may display a
8 variety of psychological problems, including anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem and
9 hostility. §1.
10 Parental standards of discipline are also important for proper development.
11 Children have to feel that someone is watching over them and guiding their actions.
12 Harsh, rigid standards may produce either a hostile and rebellious child, or a passive,
13 guilt-ridden one. Lack of discipline is thought to encourage antisocial and aggressive
14 tendencies.  Others  feel   that   the  children  of  overprotective  parents   develop  “passive-
15 dependant   personalities”.  Everything  must  be  done  in   moderation.   It   must  be  noted,  
16 however, that most of these conditions would not really qualify as mental disorders
17 by most psychiatric standards. §2.
18 One theory that does deal with mental disorders was developed by George
19 Bateson, a well-known anthropologist. Bateson and his colleagues attributed
20 schizophrenia (#88) to the double bind some parents place on their children. For
21 example,  when  a  mother  tells  her  son  “I  love   you”  but  flinches  or  pulls  away  every  
22 time he touches her, the child receives two contradictory messages at the same time
22 (#82) and becomes confused as to which one is true. As a result, he may come to
23 mistrust and misinterpret normal communications and eventually become seriously
24 disoriented. §3.
25 On the whole, however, the critics have not been kind to those who held early
26 parental influences responsible for major mental disorders (#84). For one thing, they
27 say that this approach is too vague about the exact conditions that cause mental
28 disorders. Almost every family has some conditions that developmental theorists
29 consider conducive to psychological disorder, but most children do not develop
30 mental disorders. Moreover, many contemporary critics feel that this approach
31 unfairly blames parents for everything that goes wrong with their children (#84), and
32 that it produces unnecessary parental guilt and  anxiety  about  whether  or  not  they’ve  
33 fulfilled their roles as good parents. §4.

Parent – Child Relationship

This is one of the articles your teacher has provided as background reading for your assignment.
Read it and answer the questions that follow.

1 We usually assume that an innate characteristic of human beings is the close

2 and immediate attachment between the newborn child and its parents, especially its
3 mother. Because abandonment or abuse of children seems to defy such beliefs, we are
4 baffled by reports of widespread parental abuse of children. A look at the past may
5 provide a different perspective of the present (#90).
6 According to some scholars, maternal indifference to infants may have been
7 typical of the Middle Ages. There is evidence that in the sixteenth and seventeenth
8 centuries parents showed little affection for their children, and anthropologist Edward
9 Jackson argues that this indifference was probably typical among people of Western
10 Europe, even in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The death of young children
11 seems to have been accepted casually, and although overt infanticide was frowned
12 upon, allowing children to die was sometimes encouraged, or at least tolerated (#92).
13 For example, in Western Europe it was common for mothers to leave infants at
14 foundling hospitals or with rural wet nurses, both of which resulted in very high
15 mortality rates (#94). Whether these practices were typically the result of economic
16 desperation, the difficulty of raising an out-of-wedlock child, or lack of attachment to
17 an infant is not clear, but many well-to-do married women casually chose to give their
18 infants to wet nurses, despite the higher mortality risks. This clearly suggests that the
19 reasons were not always economic difficulty nor the fear of social stigma (#93).
20 While the practice of open infanticide and child abandonment may have been
21 relatively widespread in parts of Western Europe, it does not seem to have been
22 prevalent in either England or America. Indeed, authorities in both those countries in
23 the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries prosecuted infanticide cases more vigorously
24 than other forms of murder. It seems that the practice of leaving infants with wet
25 nurses went out of fashion in England by the end of the eighteenth century.
26 By the eighteenth century in Western Europe, parents were expressing more
27 interest in their children and more affection for them, and by the nineteenth century,
28 observers were beginning to criticize parents for being too child-centered (#96).
29 Nevertheless, parents were still not prevented from abusing their own children, as long
30 as it did not result in death.
31 Because the parent-child relationship was regarded as sacred and beyond State
32 intervention, it was not until the late nineteenth century that reformers in England were
33 able to persuade law-makers to pass legislation to protect children from abusive
34 parents (#97). Ironically, efforts to prevent cruelty to animals preceded those to
35 accomplish the same ends for children by nearly half a century.

The First Harvest Meal or Thanksgiving Celebration

Imagine you are taking a class in sociology. This is the introduction to a chapter on social
functions and behavior. Read it and answer the questions which follow.

1 Thanksgiving, or the Harvest meal as it is also called, has become a symbol of

2 cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans.
3 Although this feast is considered by many to be the very first Thanksgiving
4 celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest
5 and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops (#103). §1.   Native American
6 groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many
7 others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of
8 thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America (#109).
9 Historians have also recorded other ceremonies of thanks among European
10 settlers in North America, including British colonists in Berkeley Plantation, Virginia.
11 At this site near the Charles River in December of 1619, a group of British settlers led
12 by Captain John Woodlief knelt in prayer and pledged "Thanksgiving" to God for
13 their healthy arrival after a long voyage across the Atlantic. This event has been
14 acknowledged by some scholars and writers as the official first Thanksgiving among
15 European settlers on record. Whether at Plymouth, Berkeley Plantation, or throughout
16 the Americas, celebrations of thanks have held great meaning and importance over
17 time (#100). The legacy of thanks, and particularly of the feast, have survived the
18 centuries as people throughout the United States gather family, friends, and enormous
19 amounts of food for their yearly Thanksgiving  meal.  §2.
20 It would be interesting to know what foods topped the table at the first harvest
21 feast. Historians aren't completely certain about the full bounty, but it's safe to say
22 the pilgrims weren't gobbling up pumpkin pie or playing with their mashed
23 potatoes. At the time of the 1621 feast we know that the pilgrims did have game,
24 turkeys,  corn  and  squash.  §3.
25 However, the only two items that historians know for sure were on the menu
26 are venison and wild fowl, which are mentioned in primary sources. The most
27 detailed description of the "First Thanksgiving" comes from Edward Winslow from A
28 Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, in 1621. In the journal he explains how after the
29 harvest   had   been   gathered,   the   governor   sent   four   men   out   fowl   hunting.   So   “we
30 might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our
31 labors.” (#104, #107). These four men in one day killed as much fowl as, the
32 company needed for almost a week. They were joined in their celebrations by 90
33 Indians and their king Massasoit. The pilgrims entertained and feasted their guests for
34 3 days. In return, the Indians went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the
35 plantation (#108) and bestowed upon the governor, the captain, and others. And
36 although it was not always as plentiful as it was at that particular time, they celebrated
37 the harvest and the goodness of God.
38 As  Winslow  wrote:  “We  are  so  far  from  want  that  we  often  wish  you  partakers  
39 of  our  plenty.”

Hospitals

At  your  doctor’s  office  you  see  this  article  in  a  medical  magazine.  It  catches  your  interest  so  
you read it. After reading it, answer the questions that follow.

1 Hospitals were originally hospices, a place of refuge where the poor could go
2 and die. Not until modern times did the hospital become a place where sick and
3 injured people were given medical treatment. Today hospitals are the nerve centers of
4 the medical profession. A hospital determines which physicians will be allowed to
5 use the hospital and thus which patients will be admitted. Some hospitals are deeply
6 involved in teaching and research, and an increasing number offer a wide range of
7 outpatient services through clinics and emergency rooms. §1
8 In most industrialized nations, hospitals are either owned directly by the
9 government or are operated under tight governmental controls. In the United States
10 the ownership and control of hospital services rests in many different hands. The
11 federal government has special hospitals for military personnel and veterans, and
12 many countries operate their own hospital systems, which often carry a heavy share
13 of the burden of providing health care for the poor. Most hospitals, however, are
14 owned by such diverse private groups as universities, religious organizations,
15 physicians, health plans, and charities. Of all types, the fastest growing are the large
16 corporate hospital chains. §2
17 This trend toward corporate ownership has had some beneficial effects.
18 Hospital chains often provide more comfort and convenience for patients and have
19 introduced computerized billing facilities and other efficient management practices
20 (#119). Moreover,  many  of  these  chains  have  set  up  “emergency  centers”  in  suburban  
21 malls and business districts that often provide faster and more convenient care at
22 lower cost than traditional health care services. §3
23 Yet on the whole, this trend is a worrisome one (#118). One fear arises from
24 the shift in control that goes with corporate ownership. Traditional hospitals are
25 usually run by their physicians, but the corporate chains are controlled by
26 professional managers who are likely to have far less understanding of medical
27 practice and the needs of patients (#113). The greatest concerns, however, center on
28 finances. Although the corporate hospitals provide more services to patients, they also
29 charge higher rates than the traditional nonprofit hospitals. Moreover the corporate
30 hospitals have tended to ignore the enormous health care needs of the poor and focus
31 on the people with good health insurance who are already well cared for. These
32 hospitals   have   often   been   charged   with   performing   “wallet biopsies”   before  
33 admitting any patient who does not have a dire need for emergency care. Even the
34 lower-cost emergency-care centers often take Visa and MasterCard but not Medicaid
35 (the government health care program for the poor). Defenders of the corporate
36 hospitals argue that they have no more responsibility to provide free services to the
37 poor than any other business (#115), and that it is up to the nonprofit hospitals to
38 carry that cost (#116). The problem with that argument is that the corporate hospitals
39 are skimming off the most lucrative business that the nonprofit hospitals once used to
40 cover their losses from treating the poor. As a result, more and more nonprofit
41 hospitals are going bankrupt (#120) – often to be bought up by the corporate chain
42 and closed to the poor. That, of course, creates acute overcrowding (#117) and an
43 inevitable decline in the quality of care at those hospitals that still try to meet the
44 needs of all people. §4
