Age and the attitudes of South African Indians towards the employment of married women
The discussion is based on data obtained from a descriptive study of the social system and processes of the family institution of the Indian community in the Durban-Pietermaritzburg area. The research, in pllrt, probed the possibility that attitudes within the Indian community toward women entering the labour market may have changed from opposition to acceptance, mainly due to the effects of social change occurring in South Africa. The research w…

Attitudes of South African Indians towards westernization and its effects on their family life
The attitudes of a randomly selected number of South African Indians towards westernization and its effects on their family lives are examined. Two working hypotheses were formulated. First, that older, less educated, economically deprived Indian persons see westernization as a negative influence on Indian family life in South Africa, in contrast to younger, better educated, economically independent, and upwardly mobile persons. Second, that Sout…
Attitudes of South African Indians towards interreligious and arranged marriages
Research on the family institution of South African Indians is scarce. This article deals with the results of a preliminary study of one aspect of their family life, namely, attitudes towards arranged and interreligious marriages. Two working hypotheses were formulated. First, that older, less-educated and economically deprived Indian persons are more in favour of arranged and intrareligious marriages than younger, better-educated and economicall…

Sociological perspectives on organization
The phenomenon of organization has exercised the minds of social scientists for many years, resulting in a number of models, none complete in themselves. The discussion reviews the main analytical models in terms of which industrial sociologists have studied organization. A synthetic definition of the concept organization is given and then the historical development of the term is described. Some early models are discussed first, starting with th…
The act of value-judgement
The act of value-judgement on the part of the sociologist is problematical in so far as its effects on the practical applications of his knowledge are concerned. Closely related is the problem whether the sociologist should or should not participate in the practical use of his science. An attempt is made to identify the various perspectives on the issue which have arisen in the writings of prominent sociologists, and to indicate and evaluate prop…
Sosiologiese mensbeelde en die ontleding van maatskaplike vraagstukke
Sociological images of man and the analysis of social problems. A sociologist's image of man is important for how he studies society and the nature of his conclusions. Sociologists apparently rarely use an explicit image of man and those developed in sociology have certain shortcomings. A recent promising synthetic image is applied to the problematics concerning urban Blacks living outside of national states in Southern Africa. Conclusions drawn …
Some crucial social variables which hamper the development of sound intergroup relations in South Africa
Periodic reviews of the crucial social variables which hamper the development of sound intergroup relations in South Africa are necessary to counteract such dangerous oversimplifications. This is best done within a meaningful analytical framework. The typification by D.S. Palmer of three basic types of pluralism is useful in this regard. A discussion of the nature and implications of integrative, divisive, and segmented pluralism serves to emphas…
Die Sosioloog en eietydse maatskaplike vraagstukke
THE SOCIOLOGIST AND CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL PROBLEMS: VALUE-INVOLVEMENT AND ROLES: The demand that sociology must make a practical contribution to the effective functioning of society, while maintaining scientific precision, confronts the sociologist with two contentious problems. First, should the sociologist become involved in the act of moral evaluation and, second, should he become involved in social action directed at the amelioration of social …
A theoretical analysis of the fundamental role categories of the sociologist interaction system
Much has been written about the true field of sociology and the functions that sociologists must fulfil. The perpetual debate regarding the relative merits of “pure” and “applied” sociology is well-known
