Features of an Ideal Society With Better Norms

Discuss an ideal society. Include a society where race and gender are just features and do not contribute to how others perceive you. What do you think of a better system in the government where there is more voting on laws and other decisions regarding our rights?

What are society’s norms, ideas, values, and beliefs? How do these influence how people behave? How do people socialize? How do the members learn the cultural rules, norms, and beliefs? How does society maintain social control? What rules and structures are in place to create balance and safety? What types of social groups exist? How does deviance play a role? How does society rank people according to wealth, income, race, education, and power? What social classes exist? What are the gender roles? Do gender roles exist? Why or why not? How can theories and research from sociology explain what an ideal society is and assist with developing a healthy community?
