New Ashes to Old Ashes

The American life is it what we think it is? I hope not but it seems as though more, and more we are being forced to think what we think! 


Does the sociological perspective encourage us to view people as victims?
The sociological perspective is the special point of view of sociology that sees general patterns of society in the lives of particular people.

The sociological perspective does encourage us to view people as victims. The society has made the victim role a reality and has personalized it. This is true because as Lynne Forrest states , “Whether we know it, or not, most of us react to life as victims. Whenever we refuse to take responsibility for ourselves, we are unconsciously choosing to react as a victim. This inevitably creates feelings of anger, fear, guilt or inadequacy and leaves us feeling betrayed, or taken advantage of by others.”

No, we as people show ourselves as victims. We have shown ourselves as victims for many years. We think that the mentality of showing our victimized minds which tells us to be looked at as victims.  In a way that we see ourselves as victims and we show ourselves as victims. The sociological perspective does not encourage us to be seen as victims we encourage ourselves because we start to get greedy and then love the spotlight too much. Once we’re seen as the victim we stay the victim. Sociological perspective can determine the people who show themselves as victims but to be seen and encourage to be a victim is our choice because the image we put out is what we’re going to be seen as. To be seen as a victim and encouraged to be a victim and encouraged to be a victim is difficult to be explained. A victim is a person who like the state of mind of always having to have the spotlight. The society’s view of these people are too sympathetic.
