 | | The methods of social control and integration may be: regulation, commodification, education and ideology, or democratisation. | | | Social democrats often say that the most effective way of defending and improving workers’ living standards is not to award pay rises, but to increase the benefits that workers receive via state services. | | | Promotion of the concept of social wage invariably means arguing against fighting for pay rises, and is based on the assumption that class struggle is a bad thing; better to use the democratic process to elect social democrats to government and legislate improvements in the social wage. |

| | Sociology - Social Control |
| | When population is widely scattered, as it was, for instance, in the pioneer settlements of the United States, the theory of public social regulation is that the best government is that in which there is the least government. | | | And those customs and traditions having to do with social control are enforced by the conscious recognition of the wise that such customs and traditions constitute the very props of social order.' | | | Endowed with all the prestige of age these traditions are passed on from one generation to the next. |

| | Technology and Social Control (Int. Encylopedia of the Social Sciences) |
| | Control involves ever more integrated information-sharing networks, blurring many traditional institutional and organizational borders (e.g., within and between agencies and levels of government, banks, insurance, health care, education, work, telecommunications and sales and marketing organizations). | | | Technical controls are capital- rather than labor- intensive and hence the cost of control per unit of information has decreased. | | | A social order based primarily on technical fixes is likely to be as fragile over time as one based primarily on overt repression. |

| | Escalation thus is inherent in control situations where the cost of the sanction is positively correlated with the benefit from the rule breaking. | | | They miss the interdependence that may exist between these groups and the extent to which authorities may induce or help others to break the law, be involved in law breaking themselves, or create false records about others’ supposed law breaking. | | | The nonenforcement may become mutual and the balance of power shift. |

| | Social Control |
| | People, therefore, create rules of behaviour that are the basis for social organisation and since we always have a choice as to whether or not we obey these rules, they are supported by social sanctions. | | | The socialisation process, for example, involves social control because it represents an attempt by people to shape the way in which a child, for example, develops. | | | We may not always agree with those rules, nor do we always obey them, but the fact remains that they exist and we have to take note of their existence. |

| | Toward this end, the course has three major individual writing projects—two essay exams and a "historical autobiography." A fourth assignment—the group ethnographic project—also includes a writing component. | | | Its aim is to introduce students to the sociological study of the theories, methods, and policy implications of various approaches to the social control of deviance in history. | | | When effective, social control ritually reduces, expels, or constrains what is "other" to the dominant organization of power within a specific historical period. |

| | If we begin to positively return decency and morality to our communities through social control that is administered by the predominantly decent and moral people who live in our community, then we will be able to promote and develop the machinery necessary to restore decency and morality to larger metropolises and to state governments. | | | After working exhaustively over the last five years to find something that works, it is my suggestion that every American who has a home in a county in a state stop worrying about state politics and stop worrying about national and international politics. | | | If we are still a predominantly decent and moral people then we have no choice but to create and enforce the social control mechanisms that will produce the decent and moral communities that we deserve to live in. |
