Chapter 2 sociology question

Question

A PERSON WHO PROFESSES A BELIEF IN FREEDOM AND EQUALITY BUT ALSO DEMONSTRATES BEHAVIOR THAT IS SEXIST AND RACIST IS INVOLVED IN A VALUE CONTRADICTION.

 

TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 1

Think this through what does equality and freedom mean?

 

I think an easy way to think about this is the wage-gap. It is true that women are paid less for doing the same jobs as men just because they are women. Does this sound like anything else in the sentence? (sexism)

 

So then also what is a contradiction? It is holding two values simultaneously that conflict with eachother. In this case, you cannot have a belief in equality and behave sexist.

 

Hope this helps. If you need more help with sociology I may be able to tutor you!
