Question

Please explain what Protesting and the Black Lives matter can deal with Social Learning and Strain Theories

Answer 1

The ongoing protest and the matter of Black lives matter can be understood from various sociological perspectives.

• Social learning theory will illustrate how people learn about race and how the culture builds up the understanding of discrimination. The culture tells about the ongoing stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination towards a certain race. Some people learn theses through observing others and some learn through the influence of media or education. The treatment with George Floyd comes from the notion that police department has on a particular racial community. This notion later rolled out to be showcase of undesirable behaviors. Many people have come out to protest by seeing everyone else. They felt the need to raise their voice and make their country better.
• Strain theories talk about the conception that is built upon the lower privileged group. 'The particular race would only commit crime because it is inferior or they are poor'. Strain theory creates a false image about a certain community and thinks that people from that community are committing the crime in order to overcome their economical difficulties. Protest and Black lives matter are against this theory.
