This essay explores the structure and agency dilemma through the lens of Erving Goffman’s work, arguing that individuals both reinforce and are constrained by societal structures in their everyday interactions. Using Goffman’s dramaturgical model, impression management, and the concept of face, the essay highlights how people perform roles to gain social acceptance, often at the expense of their agency. It also discusses the consequences of non-conformity, including stigma and institutionalisation, demonstrating that even those removed from mainstream society are not free from structural influence. By integrating perspectives from other sociologists like Garfinkel, Bourdieu, and Giddens, the essay ultimately positions Goffman’s work as a compelling addition to the structure and agency debate, emphasizing the inescapable interplay between the two.

Explore Durkheim’s theory of solidarity and its connection to modern individualism in this in-depth essay. While Durkheim identified egoism and anomie as key societal pathologies stemming from weakened solidarity, this analysis critiques and expands his argument by considering alternative causes such as capitalism, technological advancements, and Beck’s risk society theory. By integrating perspectives from Marx, Ritzer, and contemporary research on social media, this essay challenges Durkheim’s sole focus on solidarity, revealing how evolving societal structures contribute to modern individualism’s complexities. Perfect for students and scholars of sociology, this essay provides a critical and nuanced discussion of Durkheim’s relevance in today’s world.

This essay explores the argument that all cultural forms and practices are inherently ideological, functioning to uphold capitalist structures and sustain power dynamics that favor certain groups. Drawing on Marxist theory, Althusser’s ideological state apparatus, and Gramsci’s concept of hegemony, it examines how the family, education system, and media contribute to reinforcing capitalist ideology. The family instills societal norms, the education system legitimises meritocracy and economic competition, and media perpetuates consumerism and ideological consent. Through these mechanisms, individuals internalise ideological messages, shaping their perceptions of reality in ways that benefit the capitalist economy. Ultimately, the essay contends that culture is inextricably linked to ideology, as financial gain and social control remain central to its function.

This thought-provoking essay explores the historical and contemporary realities of slut-shaming— a form of social control that has long suppressed female sexuality and expression. Drawing on sociological perspectives and historical case studies, the piece examines how women’s bodies, clothing, and sexual agency have been policed from the Roman Republic to the Victorian era and into the digital age. With discussions on prostitution, societal stigma, and the impact of online exposure, this analysis highlights the enduring constraints placed on women’s autonomy. A compelling read for those interested in gender studies, sociology, and feminist discourse.
