The culture of fear
In this eye-opening examination of a pathology that has swept the country, sociologist Barry Glassner reveals why Americans are burdened with overblown fears. He exposes the people and organizations that manipulate our perceptions and profit from our anxieties: politicians who win elections by heightening concerns about crime and drug use even as both are declining; advocacy groups that raise money by exaggerating the prevalence of particular dis…

Fitness and the Postmodern Self
This essay suggests that contemporary fitness practices share aesthetic and ideological commitments with other activities that have been classified as postmodern. The aesthetic similarities are evident in the use of pastiche and simulation by manufacturers of exercise machines and videotapes. In terms of ideology, the pursuit of fitness is promoted as an opportunity for individuals to avert several of the risks to selfhood thought to be present i…

How Jews Avoid Alcohol Problems
Twenty-five years have passed since the last major study of Jewish drinking patterns. During that time Jews have drifted away from the Orthodox religious affiliations which the earlier studies (Snyder, 1958; 1978) found to be important in maintaining low alcohol problem rates, and yet these rates remain low. Data from a detailed study of Jews in an American community suggest a revised explanation that focuses upon four protective social processes…

Despite numerous criticisms during the last decade, labeling theory has maintained pre-eminence among theories of deviance. The critiques of the positivists, neo-Marxists, and phenomenologists are reviewed along with their respective prescriptions for the development of a more satisfactory theory of deviance. While the changes advocated by the first two groups are rejected on logical and empirical grounds, some of the suggestions of the phenomeno…

The methods are reorientations of customary lecture material v…

Clinical Applications of Sociology in Health Care
Prospects and problems for clinical applications of sociology in health care are proposed. The author suggests areas in which sociological insights and techniques are notably and uniquely beneficial for clinical practice.

Discourse in the Social Sciences
The authors consider the nature of explanatory models in the social sciences in order to suggest ways in which conceptual systems differ.
