Some emerging issues in society as studied in sociology for elite crime are that people who have money or are in power will abuse that power for the benefit of themselves. This isn't to say they won't get caught, only to benefit themselves in the short term. Some emerging issues in society for domestic abuse would be that evil cycle that never is broken. Growing up in a house that is abusive, the child will no doubt grow up to be an abuser. Another issues in society would be religion or faith. Durkheim believed that the cohesiveness of society depends on the organization of its belief system. Societies with a unified belief system are highly cohesive; those with more diffuse or competing belief system are less cohesive.
Out of all three of these issues the one that makes me the most nervous is the elite crime. Although Bernard Madoff got caught, who knows how many others have tried or will try something similar to what he did. Our nation has suffered a lot through this recession, but it's a domino effect: our recession is the world's recession. Then people like Bernard Madoff come along and make matters even worse for some of the nation's citizens. This globalization of crime is nothing new, sadly, and I don't think it will be going away anytime soon. The picture above is of my boys and I, I wish the world for them, for them to be happy and to never lose their spark. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you this semester, it has been awesome!
