Answer:

Becker points out that people react differently to the same act depending on the social context and this influences the label that is placed on the act. Perhaps an extreme example would be the act of killing someone. In the vast majority of cases this would be labelled as murder: highly deviant.

Explanation:

Becker defined deviance as a social creation in which “social groups create deviance by making the rules whose infraction constitutes deviance, and by applying those rules to particular people and labeling them as outsiders.” Becker grouped behaviour into four categories: falsely accused, conforming, pure deviant and secret deviant.

If the sentence above is trying to ask whether it is true or false, the answer is false. It is ethical egoism does not view the moral judgment in terms of the beliefs of the society, but rather, it only does a judgment or an obligation because of their own self and not because of the society.

What was the historical circumstances that led to the development of school inequality in the United States?

Answer: Constitution espouses equality, it clearly is not practiced in all

aspects of life with education being a significant outlier.

Explanation: Although the U.S. Constitution espouses equality, it clearly is not practiced in all

aspects of life with education being a significant outlier. In the Declaration of Independence,

Thomas Jefferson wrote about inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

These two theories are related to education through educational adequacy and equality.

Sufficientarianism, or educational adequacy, says that what is important is that everyone has

“good enough” educational opportunities, but not the same ones. Egalitarianism, or educational

equality, says that there is an intrinsic value in having the same educational opportunities and

only having good enough opportunities misses something important, which causes problems for

those who have not had the same opportunities. I will argue that the latter theory of

egalitarianism, or educational equality is a better approach to the education system in America

than sufficientarianism because every child deserves an excellent education and equal access to

opportunities regardless of irrelevant factors.

The spreading of information to convince others of an idea

NNADVOKAT [17]

Are you looking for an appropriate word to name this?
I think that a good name is "propaganda", especially when the information is of political relevance.

In the past (and to some extend present) some totalitarian or non-democratic states used propaganda to shape public opinion.
