It explores the ritual sacrifice of children to appease the pantheon of Haitian Vodou Myths and misconceptions voodoo deities, through the currently used practice of Santer a . This is by no mean accurate, as the practice of Santer a has never practiced nor condoned the sacrifice of humans, much less children, but the novel depicts the various deities and personas commonly seen in Santer a, and it attempts to explain the connection between Santer a and voodoo. This religion is huge, complex and living in our midsts. Sacrifices must be made to save the world, or so they believe. Anthropologist Cal Jamison intends to study Santaria but finds himself hopelessly ensnared. Trying to help a NY cop discover the killers of several children, he gets in over his head and finds his 7 year old son Chris is in jeopardy. What is the price needed to ensure good?

  1. Comparative sociology

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Sociology Comparative sociology generally refers to sociological analysis that involves comparison of social processes between nation states , or across different types of society for example capitalism capitalist and socialist . There are two main approaches to comparative sociology some seek similarity across different countries and cultures whereas others seek variance. For example, structural Marxists have attempted to use comparative methods to discover the general processes that underlie apparently different social orderings in different societies. The danger of this approach is that the different social contexts are overlooked in the search for supposed universal structures. One sociologist who employed comparative methods to understand variance was Max Weber, whose studies attempted to show how differences between cultures explained the different social orderings that had emerged see for example The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and Sociology of Religion . There is some debate within sociology regarding whether the label of comparative is suitable. Emile Durkheim argued in The Rules of Sociological Method 1895 that all sociological research was in fact comparative since social phenomenon are always held to be typical, representative or unique, all of which imply some sort of comparison. In this sense, all sociological analysis is comparative and it has been suggested that what is normally referred to as comparative research, may be more appropriately called cross national research .

  1. Label (sociology)

    Unreferenced date June 2007 In sociology , the word labeling is used more as a metaphor , than a concrete concept. The general function of labels are widely known and recognized as a method of distinction that helps people recognize one product from another. In social terms, labels represent a way of differentiating and identifying people that is considered by many as a form of prejudice and discrimination . The most common method of labeling people derives from a general way of perceiving members of a certain nationality , religion , ethnicity , gender, or some other group. When a majority of people hold a certain point of view towards a certain group, that point of view becomes a stereotype . That stereotype affects the way other people perceive the groups in question and the result is a label that is metaphorically imposed on the members of the group in question. A member of a targeted group is thus labeled by the larger society, and along with it, the nuances underlying the label, be it positive or negative, that aids in the formation of social stereotypes.
