Sociology, has at least three possible political functions or consequences: 1) control—to maintain the status quo; 2) unmasking—to reveal how the status quo is maintained; and 3) liberation—to help change the status quo for the better.... A sociology of liberation must give us ideas about how to get to the future as well as ideas of what it might look like. Joan Acker (1978), “Issues in the Sociological Study of Women's Work.” What do I mean by leadership? Well, taking charge of a situation so that things go right. Trade union steward quoted in Pamela Roby (1995c), “The Meaning of Leadership.”
