In accordance to the conflict theory, social institutions and the deviant behaviors do not go together and are never in tandem. In addition, the conflict theories also emphasize and point out to the power differentials such as class conflict and the largely disparity traditionally prevailing philosophies. Essentially, the conflict theory is founded on the understanding that the societal and fiscal forces within the society are the simple reasons for crime. In accordance to conflict theorists, police play a fundamental role in this notion of social control. I am not in agreement with this perspective. The main reason why I do not support this standpoint is largely for the reason that police are meant to act and serve as agents of social control. Deviance and crime within the society take place as a result of insufficient constraints. With regard to social control theory, the perspective of human beings in their own nature encompasses the notion of free will. This consequently offers offenders the ability of choice, and accountability for their behavior and conduct (Kempf-Leonard and Morris, 2012).
To start with, conflict theorists perceive the society to be a combination of populations that are stratified, but competing at the same time, with every populace, employing...
From this standpoint, dominant police violence is perceived as a means for advantaged societal select few to overpower and control any possibly threatening populaces. My position in this case is that if coercion were the only practice through which stratified societies are seized together, this of course would bring the anticipation of more extensive and aggressive police violence than in the contemporary United States. Instead, killings and assassinations committed by the police are comparatively rare happenings. This element, nonetheless, does not signify a resilient challenge to the application of police killings as a sign of social control consequences, as rate of recurrence is not essentially a precise depiction of the efficacy of police violence in safeguarding privileged welfares. In addition, the conviction that sorts of supremacy and dominance are appropriate, or conceivably too influential to be confronted, can in itself, be a basis of authority for the dominant group. This is because it additionally depresses and sinks confrontation by subjugated populaces. For instance, the simple intimidation of death, in itself, can be domineering, even when the intimidation itself is rarely achieved…

Wall, Tapies, and Goldin: Photography and Painting From the Theoretical Perspective of Susan Sontag The relationship between photography and painting, according to Susan Sontag, is that neither is really "capturing" the world that each attempts to depict. Rather they are capturing or depicting a perspective and the reality remains elusive. They are, in other words, projections of the artist's viewpoint; they are filtered through a particular zeitgeist -- and it is
Angela Carter's The Blood Chamber and Other Stories is, what some interpret as a feminist text. It was written by a heterosexual woman and depicts a heterosexual female's sexuality along with things that otherwise would not be seen, especially at that time, in literature. Such stories like "Wolf-Alice" within the text show (in essence) how women are subdued by the constrains of society, but also (in a sense) benefit from
Being against popular culture is particularly difficult, considering the temptations that society provides people with and the fact that one risks being excluded from a community if he or she does not act in accordance with the convictions respected by the group's members (Aoyagi, 151).

Gaze Seeing, Looking, Regarding When Mulvey (1975) wrote about the psychological importance of the male gaze, most women would have recognized in her description of the dynamics of phallocentrism and the male observation of women their own experiences. Mulvey argued that men use their ability an authority to look at women as a means of maintaining their power in a patriarchal society, and this use of the gaze is something that women
