deprivation

Examples of deprivation in the following topics:

• Relative Deprivation Approach

  • Social scientists have cited 'relative deprivation' as a potential cause of social movements and deviance.
  • Relative deprivation is the experience of being deprived of something to which one feels to be entitled.
  • Social scientists, particularly political scientists and sociologists, have cited 'relative deprivation' (especially temporal relative deprivation) as a potential cause of social movements and deviance.
  • This differentiates relative deprivation from objective deprivation (also known as absolute deprivation or absolute poverty), a condition that applies to all underprivileged people.
  • A specific form of relative deprivation is relative poverty.

• Deprivation and Development

  • Social deprivation theory has had implications for family law.
  • Social deprivation occurs when an individual is deprived of culturally normal interaction with the rest of society.
  • Certain groups of people are more likely to experience social deprivation.
  • By observing and interviewing victims of social deprivation, research has provided an understanding of how social deprivation is linked to human development and mental illness.
  • Thus, social deprivation may delay or hinder development, especially for children.

• Introduction to Sleep

  • Sleep deprivation negatively affects brain chemistry, growth, healing, attention, memory, and the ability to operate machinery, among other things.
  • Sleep deprivation can cause both physical and mental illness, such as diabetes, depression, and psychosis, and in extreme cases, it can cause hallucinations and death.
  • Numerous studies have demonstrated that sleep deprivation can adversely affect brain growth and cognitive functions. fMRI studies performed on sleep-deprived subjects show that regions of the brain's prefrontal cortex, an area that supports mental faculties such as working memory and logical reasoning, displayed more activity in sleepier subjects.
  • The link between sleep deprivation and psychosis has been well-documented.
  • Sleep deprivation has also been shown to slow the healing process, and has been implicated in weight gain and type-2 diabetes.

• Social Movement Theories

  • Deprivation Theory argues that social movements have their foundations among people who feel deprived of some good(s) or resource(s).
  • First, since most people feel deprived at one level or another almost all the time, the theory has a hard time explaining why the groups that form social movements do when other people are also deprived.
  • If deprivation is claimed to be the cause but the only evidence for such is the movement, the reasoning is circular.
  • However, social movement activism is, like in the case of deprivation theory, often the only indication that there was strain or deprivation.
  • Insurgent consciousness refers back to the ideas of deprivation and grievances.

• Energy Requirements

  • Oxygen is necessary, and if even a small part of the heart is oxygen-deprived for too long, a myocardial infarction (heart attack) will occur.
  • While aerobic respiration supports normal heart activity, anaerobic respiration may provide additional energy during brief periods of oxygen deprivation.
  • Lactate can be recycled by the heart and provides additional support during nutrient deprivation.
  • Recycling lactate is very energy-efficient in the nutrient-deprived myocardium, since one NAD+ is reduced to NADH and H+ (equal to 2.5 or 3 ATP) when lactate is oxidized to pyruvate.

• Sources of Social Change

  • Some of the better-known approaches include deprivation theory, mass-society theory, structural-strain theory, resource-mobilization theory, political process theory and culture theory.
  • Deprivation theory and resource-mobilization have been discussed in detail in this chapter's section entitled "Social Movements. "
  • This theory is subject to circular reasoning since it claims that social/structural strain is the underlying motivation of social movement activism, even though social movement activism is often the only indication that there was strain or deprivation.
  • This kind of circular reasoning is also evident in deprivation theory (people form movements because they lack a certain good or resource), which structural-strain theory partially incorporates and relies upon.
  • Analyze the similarities and differences in the various social movement theories - deprivation, mass-society, structural-strain, resource-mobilization, political process and culture

• The Feminization of Poverty

  • Gender biases often deprive women of opportunities to independently pursue education or careers and are often linked to the expectation that women are responsible for childbearing and childrearing.
  • Lack of income deprives women of basic needs, such as food and shelter, and limits their opportunities for advancement.
  • As women disproportionately earn less income than men, they are deprived of basic education and healthcare, which lowers their lifetime earning potential.

• Article V

  • The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

• Measuring Poverty

  • Poverty is defined by deprivation, and can be measured with economic or social indicators.

• The Battle of Leyte Gulf

  • In particular, US strategists hoped to deprive Japanese forces and industry of vital oil supplies.
  • The majority of its surviving heavy ships, deprived of fuel, remained in their bases for the rest of the Pacific War.
