HOME SOCIOLOGY IN THE NEWS AUTHOR'S MESSAGE The Concept of the State A state exists where there is a political apparatus (government institutions) ruling a given territory. All modern states are nation-states. A nation-state refers to a government apparatus that is recognized to have sovereign rights within the borders of a territorial area, able to back its claims to sovereignty by military power, and many of whose citizens feel committed to its national identity. Characteristics of the state Sovereignty-a government possesses authority over an area with clear-cut borders, within which it is the supreme power. Citizenship-most people living within the borders of the political system are citizens. Nationalism-a set of symbols and beliefs providing the sense of being part of a single political community. Citizenship rights include civil rights, political rights, and social rights.

Government and Power The term government refers to a political apparatus in which officials enact policies and make decisions. Politics refers to the use of power to affect government actions. Power is the capacity to achieve one's aims even against the resistance of others, and often involves the use of force. A government is said to have authority when its use of power is legitimate. Such legitimacy derives from the consent of those being governed. The most common form of legitimate government is democratic, but other legitimate forms are also possible. The Concept of the State A state is characterized by a political apparatus (government institutions), including civil service officials, ruling over a geographically defined territory, and whose authority is backed by a legal system and that has the capacity to use force to implement policies. All modern states have certain additional features: sovereignty , the idea that government has authority over a given area; citizenship , the idea that people have common rights and duties and are aware of their part in the state; and nationalism , the sense of being part of a broader, unifying political community.

On leave 2004-05. Sociology is the study of human conduct from the perspective of the history and the "anatomy" or structure of the group. The focus is on how people coordinate their activities to reach individual and collective goals in a wide range of institutional settings. Sociological analysis explores social situations from the standpoint of the social statuses, roles, meanings, and norms that make behavior reciprocally predictable and organized. Sociology investigates how such patterns of interdependent activity originate and what sustains them, why they take one shape instead of another, how some types of patterned behavior change more rapidly than others, how such patterns or institutional forms are related to one another, and how people justify and explain what they see themselves doing. Sociology regards patterns of social relations as embedded in the historical process and learned as customary behavior as institutional practices. Therefore, the sociological perspective is closely linked to comparative historical and cross-cultural studies of social institutions and to psychological studies of human learning.

Trustees, Class of 2007 Catherine A KT Albiston is a faculty member at the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program, University of California, Berkeley. She was previously Assistant Professor of Law and Sociology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She holds a Ph.D. in Jurisprudence and Social Policy (2001), a J.D. (1993) from the University of California, Berkeley, and a M.A. in Sociology (1989) from Stanford University. Her research focuses on law and social change, including how the social context of employment rights affects rights mobilization; the relationship between law and inequality, particularly with regard to gender and race; and the role of public interest lawyers in social change. Her dissertation, A The Institutional Context of Civil Rights: Mobilizing the Family and Medical Leave Act in the Courts and in the Workplace" (winner of the LSA Dissertation Prize 2002), examined how legal rights have difficulty penetrating taken-for-granted practices, expectations and beliefs about work, gender, and disability that permeate the workplace, and how workers can mobilize law as a symbolic resource to challenge these institutionalized practices and beliefs. Her current research examines variation in strategy, structure, and mission among American public interest law organizations. Her recent publications include A Bargaining in the Shadow of Social Institutions: Competing Discourses and Social Change in Workplace Mobilization of Civil Rights

The Development of the Civil Rights Movement: Relative Deprivation, Resources and Political Opportunities. A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in Sociology in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Jon Agnone The Ohio State University July 2000 Project Adviser: J. Craig Jenkins, Department of Sociology Introduction It has often been stated that the civil rights movement is the ideal movement to study when looking to test social movement theory. This is, in part, attributable to the struggle for civil rights being arguably the most important social movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and "clearly one of the pivotal developments of the twentieth century" (Morris, 1999). With this in mind, the findings of this inquiry should easily be generalizable to other movements such as the women’s movement and the environmental movement. My review of past literature delineates the major features of the theories I am testing, and some of the work done with each. These theories will be tested against the protest events of the civil rights movement from 1947 through 1997 to see which theory can best explain the ongoings of the movement. I feel that it is important to look at the civil rights movement beyond the legislative victories of the 1960s, since the struggle for equality is an ongoing battle. A research model on the following page gives a graphical representation of my explanatory model. Literature Review

49. Veterans Of The Civil Rights Movement -- "Would You Marry One?" A student in the introductory sociology class asked me, Would you marry a Negro? The students in the freedom school and my fellow civil rights workers, http://www.crmvet.org/info/marryone.htm

"Would You Marry One?" Chude Pam Parker Allen For Ralph Featherstone "He loved you," says the black man sitting next to me. "He told me about you once. We'd just gotten out of jail in D.C. At the freedom house the brothers were asking, 'Would you marry one?' Ralph said yes, he would marry a white woman. I said I would too. The others laughed at us. They said we were still hung up on that 'freedom high!' "We were funky and dirty after all those days behind bars, but we moved to a corner of the room and sat down. Ralph told me it happened even though he promised himself he wouldn't get involved with any woman, black or white. He told me he fell in love with a white volunteer at the beginning of the summer of '64. He didn't tell me her name, but when you were speaking I realized it was you. Ralph didn't feel he could ask you to share his life. He told me he expected to die." "I loved him," says this man sitting next to me. "We both loved him. We still do." It is 1989. A small group of us are sharing personal experiences of the Southern Freedom Movement. Ralph Featherstone has been dead for 19 years, killed in the struggle just as he thought he would be. I was a freedom school teacher that summer of 1964 and I met Ralph Featherstone in Holly Springs, a large project in northern Mississippi. Ralph was a 24-year-old speech therapist from Washington, D.C. He had a wonderful smile and an interest in other people, including the students. He was on our project while waiting to go to McComb to head the freedom school there. McComb was in southwest Mississippi, the most dangerous part of that violent state.

The megachurch is a relatively recent arrival on the American religious landscape. These churches attract thousands using a vast array of service options. But is bigger better? This course provides a sociological examination of the megachurch as a unique new form of congregation. Students consider the contours and consequences of these very large, complex organizations. Class sessions involve lecture, guest speakers, and discussion. Lectures and course readings introduce central concepts, theories, and methods for studying congregations. The leaders of large churches from the area visit class as guest speakers. In addition, students select one megachurch in the area to examine as a case study. Through class discussions and observational research, students prepare a final paper and participate in a public presentation of research findings. K. Dougherty.
