Walter and Janet have three children. Janet has been a stay-at-home mother raising the children. Walter has always worked full time and is always traveling for business. Their youngest child will start school soon. Now all three children will be in school all day. Walter and Janet are discussing whether Janet should take the full-time job she has been offered. Walter and Janet’s middle child Fred is having trouble in school. He has been placed in special classes for emotionally disturbed children because of a learning disability. Fred’s parents are concerned that others are calling their child "emotionally disturbed" and "delinquent." Fred begins to act up, when he hadn’t before. These behaviors validate which validate social process theory?

culture conflict theory

Explanation:

Based on this scenario, it seems that these behaviors validate the social process theory known as the culture conflict theory. This theory states that crime is caused due to the contradictory values that exist when different social groups have different ideas of what is considered "acceptable behavior". In this scenario, Fred's behaviors may seem acceptable to Walter and Janet but it is not to the school. The same goes for Walter and Janet's behavior, to them it may be normal but some psychiatrists or social workers may consider it being neglectful of the children's needs.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
