Among Latin American countries, El Salvador is, along with Guatemala, Chile, and Brazil, one of the countries with the highest percentage of Protestants between 15 and 20 percent of the country's population (Green 1997; Williams 1997). Protestant affiliation increased very significantly during the 1970s and 1980s, a time during which El Salvador experienced a bloody civil war (Williams 1997). Scholars of religion in Latin America have perceived Protestant affiliation as the product of the social disorganization resulting from the civil war and the increase of capitalist modes of living. Related to social disorganization, a second factor acting in favor of Protestant proselytism has been the failure of the economy in Latin America to empower most of its population to leave the ranks of poverty and underemployment (Green 1997). In the case of El Salvador, Williams (1997) attributes the growth of Protestantism to the deep economic and political crisis, the cycle of violence, and the massive displacement of the population after the mid-1970s. In addition to these explanations, other scholars have pointed to the failure of Catholicism to address the spiritual needs of the poor (Shaull and Cesar 2000) and their deeper quest for salvation, liberation, and eternal life (Vazquez 1998).

Anomie And Strain Theory
of several founders of sociology, Emile Durkheim, who used the term anomie defined the term anomie to explain phenomena in the sociological field.
http://www.iejs.com/Criminology/anomie_and_strain_theory.htm

Extractions: By Karen Michelle Collins Strain is the pressure on disadvantaged minority groups and the lower urban populous to take advantage of any effective available means to income and success that they can find even if these means are illegal (Akers, 2000, p. 144). In his 1897, publication, Suicide , Durkheim classified strain into two basic categories: social processes and personal experiences. These in turn produced two general types of strain: structural and individual. Social processes create the environment necessary for the evolvement of structural strain and personal experiences cause individual strain. Structural strain applies to members of society who determine their needs based on the ideals of society and are in a constant struggle to meet those expectations. Individual strain is the personally created stress applied by the individual while searching for a means of meeting their needs that are defined by their personal expectations that they hold of themselves (OConnor, 2003). According to General Strain Theory, as aspirations increase and expectations decline, delinquency and the amount of deviant acts that occur increases in effect to these changes Merton recognized certain expectations created by the two general types of strain and identified five specific modes of adaptation to these strains (Akers, 2000, p. 144). Within the social psychology field, Robert Agnew identified three more major sources of strain in addition to those defined by Durkheim and Merton (Akers, 2000, p. 159).

Extractions: "French social theorist Emile Durkheim coined the term "anomie" in his book The Division of Labor in Society, published in 1893. He used anomie to describe the loss of norms that was occurring in society. Durkheim said that anomie is produced in times of rapid social change, when existing rules, habits, and beliefs no longer hold and alternatives have not yet been found."

http://www.faculty.rsu.edu/~felwell/Theorists/Durkheim/

Extractions: I have often thought of Durkheim's reputation as being somewhat over inflated in sociology. I have had many arguments with colleagues on this score. They point out several contributions he has made to the field: Some of these accomplishments I find in earlier theorists. August Comte, for example, writes of the division of labor and how its development leads to a shift in social bonds from similarity to interdependence. Karl Marx, it seems to me, has a far better grip on how destructive of social solidarity the detailed division of labor can be. T. Robert Malthus writes of the effect of population (and other components of the social system) on various parts of the social system and on the whole in a distinctly functionalist manner. Malthus also uses available government data on birth and death rates almost 100 years before Durkheim. While Durkheim is the first to be accorded academic status as a sociologist, I just don't believe his contributions and insights rank him in the same league as such titans as Marx and Weber.

How has his conception of anomie affected your life, ie do you see evidence Explain in detail Mertons concept of anomie. What norms is he referring to?
http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~evanderveen/wvdv/classical_crim_theory/reflection_rpts

Extractions: REFLECTION REPORTS In each of these questions, always consider them in terms of crime, not just life in general. Cite examples of crimes which exemplify your arguments, but also note situations which may present contradictions. Reflection report questions on Beccaria: 1. Part of Beccarias ideas incorporate the notion of the social contract. Explain what this is in detail. What are your thoughts on this idea of the social contract? Now that you are aware of this idea, how do you participate in this social contract? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being part of the social contract within Canadian society? 2. Describe Beccarias ideas on punishment with regard to the following: certainty, celerity and proportionality. How are these ideas relevant and not relevant to crime and punishment today? Reflection report questions on Bentham: 1. Explain Benthams ideas about pain and pleasure. What are your thoughts on these ideas? Bentham argues that the result is greatest happiness for greatest number since with everyone seeking out of their own self-interest in happiness, part of a persons happiness is bound to the happiness of others, thus it is in our own self-interest to seek happiness. Do you see this happening in society? In the criminal justice system? 2. According to Bentham, laws and punishments are to ensure the principle of "greatest happiness for the greatest number". Encompassed within this is the idea of majority rules. Explain this principle, then discuss this principle with regard to issues that may arise when considering people who might find themselves in a minority position within society.

http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~evanderveen/wvdv/classical_crim_theory/merton.htm

Extractions: ROBERT MERTON His ideas stem from the traditional sociological theory of Functionalism and from Emile Durkheim. Functionalism: question is what is function of deviance and conformity; tries to explain why deviance continues to exist despite pressures to conform and obey, not on how person comes to commit deviant act or why on some occasions crimes do and do not occur unifying force, social and social stability standard and boundary setting, defining and maintaining limits of proper behaviour safety valve (tolerate some release) mechanism of social control what is deviant may vary but deviance is found in all societies Merton identifies problems with Functionalism and its assumptions of deviance: Assumption 1: harmonious integration of all parts of society deviance may be functional for some and not for others Assumption 2: a particular pattern of social interaction exists and thus must be functional consider net balance of positive and negative consequences of said patterns Assumption 3: genuine societal needs can only be served by structural unit which appears to positively or functionally contribute to fulfillment of such needs consider latent and manifest functions, consider other alternatives for fulfilling needs (manifest functions are those recognized and intended, latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended)

http://www.ubishops.ca/baudrillardstudies/vol2_1/edginton.htm

Extractions: In French Social Theory Mike Gane has produced an absorbing look at the development of social theory in France from St. Simon to Baudrillard. Written, I assume, for an English speaking audience, this short but dense text illustrates not only the depth of Ganes scholarship but also his ability to understand and delineate the nuances of French social theory that have intrigued sociologists in the English-speaking world since the 1960s. As a background to his discussion, Gane reminds us that social theory in France does not exist, but is a zone between literary and cultural theory and that methodology is more than a set of positivist techniques. Since theory, an abstract set of ordered ideas, is essential for the construction of any science; the development of sociology is then dependent on its history. By linking the progress of ideas about society to political context of French history, Gane uses Comtean sociology to analyze the development of social theory. He then constructs this history by following the sociological template introduced by St. Simon and Comte, and divides the search for the social into three periods creating a cycle of social theory: birth/altruism (1800-1879), rebirth/anomie (1880-1939) and second rebirth/hypertelia (1940-2000).

Extractions: Click here to get a custom non-plagiarized term paper from a top research company Sociological theories that explain drug abuse Many attempts have been made to explain the cause of drug and substance abuse on the basis of information gained from sociological, criminological, and even biological theories. In fact, the issue of drug abuse elicits so much of attention from social scientists because it wastes the young talents of a nation and no effort to combat it will be considered inappropriate. This paper tries to analyze drug and substance abuse on the basis of some important sociological theories. Analysis The Anomie theory The Anomie theory as explained by Emile Durkheim is based on the assumption that lack of regulation or control of behavior in modern societies can lead to deviant or criminal behavior [Collins, 2004].
