Social Pathology, Degeneracy, and Medicalization

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Reading Assignment 4

Social Pathology, Degeneracy and Medicalization

Introduction, Tammy L. Anderson /

Social Pathology: A Systematic Approach to the Theory of Sociopathic Behavior, Edwin Lemert /

Whatever Happened to Social Pathology? Conceptual Fashions and the Sociology of Deviance, Joel Best /

The Shifting Engines of Medicalization, Peter Conrad / 17. Connections: Mental Illness as Degeneracy and Disease, Victor Perez, Critical Thinking Questions /

Points Possible: 20

Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages

Answer two questions:

  1. 1.  Define and differentiate between Anderson’s use of the concepts degeneracy and medicalization (pp. 170-171). Do you agree with Anderson that social pathology has limited use in the study of society and deviance?  Why or why not?

2.   Summarize Lemert’s treatment of psychological/psychiatric and sociological approaches to the study of sociopathic behavior (pp.176-177).

  1. 3.    Best claims that social pathology as a viable concept “gradually fell out of style” by the 1960s, replaced by a more relativistic emphasis on deviance. Then he makes a similar argument for the “death” of the concept of deviance in the present day.  Summarize his three principles of deviance definition (pp. 181-182) which are now debated as inadequate to the task.

QUESTION

Writing Response: Antigone (lines 781-1350)
1. Choose one passage of 1-3 continuous lines from Antigone and quote it.
2. Explain its meaning in context: what are the different perspectives on
Antigone’s death and how is this represented OR what are the different
explanations of her act and what does this signify? You can also use your notes
from class to help with your response, but I want to see your thoughts come
through, not just what was included in lecture.
3. Raise 1-3 questions specifically related to this reading for discussion (this
can be a question(s) related to your quote, the reading as a whole, something you
were confused about, something that stood out to you, etc.).

This is an example of you preliminarily engaging with the reading. It benefits your class
engagement and gives you another chance to think things through. It will then improve
your papers because you will have practiced organizing your ideas and creating a
response.
I will take note of questions people ask and themes they are interested in and try to bring
them up in class. That way, the course will more closely address your concerns.
