Answer:

A. The unintended consequences cannot be predicted.

Explanation:

In sociology, unintended consequences refer to a certain outcome that might be created outside the initial intention of the actor.

An example of this would a mother is spanking her child with the intention to impose discipline. But she wasn't aware that the child will grow up while feeling emotionally detached to her years into the future.

This types of things can be really hard to be predicted even by sociologists because there are<u> too many factors that can influenc</u>e that outcome.

Coming back to the example above, not all children who were spanked during childhood grow up to be emotionally detached with her mother. External influences such as the interaction with their friends, how their mother treat the child when the same mistake is repeated, whether or not the children could understand the initial intention of their mother can affect their relationship with the mothers years in the future.

Ronch [10]

Piaget would say that the group in which 7- to 10-year-old children are playing organized little league baseball and they have learned the formal rules of the game, and they play according to their shared knowledge is an example of heteronomous morality. In this stage children accept that all rules are made by some authority figure and their morality is imposed from the outside.

Sliva [168]

The answer is B. Economic.

In sociology, the terms industrial, pastoral, and pre-industrial, are used to describe different types of societies that have existed throughout history. This categorization is based on the main economical activity of a society and there have been pre-industrial societies, and pastoral societies. However, the term economic society doesn't exist because every society, no matter its main economical activity, has had its own economic system.

Differentiate between fair descrimination and unfair discrimination,and also use relevent examples

serg [7]

Answer:

Fair discrimination- Discrimination means treating some people differently from others. It isn't always unlawful - after all, people are paid different wages depending on their status and skills. However, there are certain reasons for which your employer can't discriminate against you by law. Discrimination happens when an employer treats one employee less favourably than others. It could mean a female employee being paid less than a male colleague for doing the same job, or an employee from a minority ethnic community being refused the training opportunities offered to other colleagues.

There are specific laws against some types of discrimination (called 'unlawful discrimination'). If your employer treats you less favourably for an unlawful reason, you may be able to take action. If your employer treats you unfairly for any other reason, this is not unlawful discrimination.

There are laws against discrimination on the basis of your:

-gender

-marriage or civil partnership

-gender reassignment

-pregnancy and maternity leave

-sexual orientation

-disability

-race

-colour

-ethnic background

-nationality

-religion or political opinion

-age

Unfair discrimination- Unfair discrimination is when you are treated differently as compared to other categories of people and that your dignity as a human being is impaired by such treatment.

Discrimination is regarded as unfair when it imposes burdens or withholds benefits or opportunities from any person on one of the prohibited grounds listed in the Act, namely: race, gender, sex, pregnancy, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth etc.

It is important to note that the Act does not prohibit discrimination but unfair discrimination.There are certain circumstances where discrimination can be regarded as fair e.g. measures designed to advance persons disadvantaged by the previous system of racial discrimination.

Cases for fair discrimination (read case)- The new amendments to the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (the EEA) assist employers in defending unfair discrimination claims by enabling employers to show that the alleged unfair discrimination is justifiable. Prior to the amendment, an employer was only able to escape liability by showing that the discrimination in question was fair.

Hope it helps!!!
