Taste Is An Entirely Personal Matter
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. Personal preference is not an arbitrary human characteristic; rather, the extent to which taste is formulated from deep-seated cultural indoctrination is both grand and far-reaching. According to Douglas et al, the fundamental purpose of taste is to define one's identity by way of being a status symbol, serving the concurrent purpose of erecting both fence and bridge as it reinforces social acceptance and rejection. Bourdieu further quantifies taste as being one of the most prominent determining factors in how an individual views his or her world, as well as how that person is viewed by others. Veblen, who did not agree with Bourdieu's theory, argued how social interaction – and the drive to achieve social and economic success – is not so much a survivalist tendency as much as it is the pressure to perform as well as the next person.

Teaching Psychology
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay supporting the choice to teach psychology at the community college level. The psychology instructor at a university enjoys full access to subscription-based literature databases as well as employer-paid conference attendance opportunities. Psychologists in private practice gain the satisfaction of being involved in improving the lives of individuals, and some achieve significant financial rewards. The community college can expect none of these financial supports or rewards. The rewards possible are significant and can be immense, however. As is the case when comparing community college education with university education, the end result is only different, certainly not inferior. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Ted Bundy: Differential Association Theory
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Ted Bundy may truly have been the slickest of all killers. He taught FBI officials more about the inner workings of a serial killer than any other of his kind; Bundy would regularly counsel agents on the correct places to look for other murderers who followed his method of operation. Time and time again, he correctly predicted where the killers would resurface, which most often was one of the original crime scenes to relive the experience and look for token souvenirs. When the student examines the sociological aspects of Bundy's persona, it is with relative ease that his deviant behavior can be applied to the theory of differential association based upon Stephen G. Michaud's account in The Only Living Witness : The True Story of Serial Sex Killer Ted Bundy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
