One of sociology´s to assess the effects of political decision.
According to sociologist Anders Persson the society is changing, and in that
change social fear appear. In the reaction of social fear some people are being
excluded. In that more narrow frame for normality laws are created that makes
some parents and their children ?the other?. Nine years ago the sociologist Eva
Kärfve published a book that was very critical to the newborn psychiatrics
diagnosing of children as a way of segregating groups in society. I am sad to
say but she was right. According to the theory of Howard Becker I use a social
interaction perspective to understand and interpret people´s actions. This
perspective means that people through their actions creates phenomena in
society. Becker´s book Tricks of the trade gives tools to investigate
situations in society. The purpose of this study is to through a case study
increase the understanding of a parent´s experiences in a case where
municipality moved a pupil against the parents will. The method is case study,
where the bulk is an interview with a pupil´s parents. The study shows the
steps of human interaction that lead to the moving of a pupil against the
parents will. The result indicates that the decision of what a violation of the
norm is decides if the new law is to be executed. I present the school´s action
from a view of the society and conclude with the questions: If we are using
laws instead of giving schools economic resources, is that really what we want?
If just one child is taken away from his school for the wrong reasons, is that
not a case too much?
The sociology is supposed to plead people without a voice cause. Reflect a
structure of society and elucidate problems according to different theoretic
perspectives. For me personally, the area of problem preceded the method. This
study had not been what it is without the case. It takes a great deal of
courage to invite a stranger to one´s home and talk about painful experiences.
In the end I like to purpose that life is for everybody.
