The Meaning of Social Control chp4

I believe that n society can exist without social control, especially now-a-days  there is always going to be that somebody that is going to speak up and take control, no matter the size of the group.Back when there was segregation the use of social control was violence. Police and whites would do terrible things to the blacks. Now a lot of violence involves children and teenagers. Many Children are abused by someone they know, a majority of them i believe are there care takers. With teenagers a lot of the violence involves gangs, drugs, and alcohol. With enforcers the violence may not be so frequent. In this society  arguments are used more openly and is accepted by society, for example, debate.  In the situation of a group of people in the same situation and one person disagreeing I think that after giving their opinion and reasons why, that one person with a different point of view will eventually change their opinion. I think along the line of gossip you physically see it more in small towns where most people know each other and you see it in their children's school when they gossip, but also in their neighborhood and work place but I know I personally see it in schools between mothers. most of the coercive system has a lot to do with religion and how society builds up around that.
They say your friends make up who you are and that people will judge you on the group of friends that you are with and how they act and "sphere of the intimate" defines that.  Also that Friends and family are the self image of ones self. The society has made laws and rules, if laws and rules are broken consequences and punishments are taken into place. Within our society the past holds up the imprisonment in our society.
Chapter four ties into the article " The meaning of social control ". The social patterns in social behaviors such as Gossip or how people act when enforcers are around. In this chapter they discuss the macro level which in the article is similar to interrelationships for example suburbs and urban society. The social structure and social control study the pattern of behavior in social life and bringing society together back into line.
