Almost as if a single criminal is appointed to represent his entire race through his actions simply because he is part of that race. This is stereotyping at its clearest existence. Though one would be correct in assuming that the lower end communities in my town and in other towns across the world are likely to accompany higher crime rates, higher poverty standards and an abundance of welfare recipient families; it would not be correct to assume that these areas are as they are simply because of the primary ethnic groups that orchestrate their populations.

This is not hubris or the idea that the author of this response is any "better" than that of Giddens. However, sociology texts and summaries seem to leave out the idea that some actions, thought patterns and mindsets that are cultural and/or societal in nature make little to no logical or basic sense in the grand scheme of things. However, perhaps a covering of that dynamic would be too

What ethical dilemmas do sociologists face? One dilemma that Sociologists deal with is competence. Many of them do strive to uphold the highest levels of capability in their work.
