Vessing (2011) states, âa society needs a variety of social institutions in order to function adequately. However, it does appear that not all citizens have equal access to participation in them, and that oneâs social class and ascribed characteristics may limit oneâs ability to benefit from them. This disparity results in unequal access to all that the institutions have to offerâ (p. 197). Review the various social institutions discussed in Chapters 10 and 11 of the text, Sociology: Beyond Common Sense.
Based on what you have read in the text, describe at least two institutions that do not provide equal access? If you were asked to implement changes from a sociological perspective, what changes would you suggest? Support your answer with detailed examples.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmatesâ posts by Day 7.
