Conflict Theory

Symbolic Interaction

Conflict Theory: (Sociological Framework) Looks at groups in society that are competing with each other for limited resources. (Macro Level)

The Documented

Vs.

The Undocumented

Institutional Discrimination creates conflict between the documented and undocumented working class living in the same communities.

Continued...

State/Local level: California

- Issued AB60 Automobile Driver Licenses (Federal Limits Apply)

- Real ID (Federal Compliant)

Federal level: United States

- Issued Social Security Cards

(Issued Documented Only)

*Treats Undocumented as second class in the economy*

Continued...

The emergence of Covid-19 (Corona Virus):

"More than 4.3 million Californians have filed new claims for unemployment benefits since March 12."

Unemployment Benefits:

- Financial Assistance

CARES Act Part of a 2 Trillion Dollar Bill

(April 2020):

- Stimulus Check To Tax Payers

Symbolic Theory

Symbolic theory: (Sociological Framework) As humans and as members of a society, we learn to understand through our interaction with symbols, including the letters of our language that make up words. (Micro-Level)

American Legal Documentation Represents/symbolism

Symbolic theory focuses on the Micro Level of the problem on the basis like what is happening within these relationships among groups. This literally narrows the issue down to ways that people think and communicate in their worlds.

Symbolic Interaction

SSN Card

People see this as security and people want to feel safe and american.

Real ID

These are seen as ways to walk freely in the US.

Cares Act

The cares act is seen and symbolized as a protection against going into the poverty line.

Stimulus Check

This aid is seen as support given to only American people who have successfully filed taxes.

Financial Aid

This is also an aid for US citizens in which they help support low income Americans going to college

Into More context

When it comes to symbolic theory we quickly must see through the lenses of meaning and clues to what something means. For example an American who is a citizen in the US had a SSN this is seen as security protection and knowing you are an American. Real ID is given to US citizens this helps them travel and is seen as a way to show the American nationality in America.Then we move into care act many people see this as a symbol of protection. The cares act not only protects you from losing your job but it gives you money to support you while any event comes in. The stimulus check was given to many US American only they are able to receive this help. No indocumented person may receive this even if they have filed taxes in the past few years. Finally financial aid is a segment in which we Americans have the privilege to receive this not only is seen as help but also protects many students from falling into debt. The symbolic theory is seen as something in which we humans of society see this as symbols we see the helps sign we run to the helps sign this is how people interact in the US.

Analysis

Theory

Max Horkheimer (1937)

:-Examined alternative options of policies

-Analyzed different perspectives & developments

5 Methods

1.Agenda Setting: COVID-19= negative financial impact

  • Result: mass loss of jobs= high unemployment.
  • Proposition: LA county seeks to provide financial aid exclusively for LA residents= Angeleno Card

Critical Analysis Theory

2. Policy Formulation:

  • Prerequisite: -Proof of LA residency

-Work stub/or tax to show income

  • Purpose: help ANY L.A resident

"Applicants will not be asked anything about their immigration status. We are all Angelenos.”-Mayor Garcetti

What happens next?

Continued

3. Policy Adoption: Application opens, website crashes and phone line not working

-Thousands of Angelenos apply, unfortunately= more applicants than aid

4. Policy Implementation: Mayor Garcetti states numerous applicants to choose from, but extremely limited funds

5.Evaluation: -Aid was given to only some L.A residents

-Various people left out

Solutions: ??

Practice Theory

Definition: Practice theory is a theory which seeks to understand and explain the social and cultural world by analyzing the basic bodily, knowledge based practices that interconnect to form more complex social entities like groups, lifestyles, social fields or entire societies.

Materials: "including things, technologies, tangible physical entities, and the stuff of which objects are made.

*Limited objects are made amount of materials, lack of access to gain materials. Financial Resources

Meanings: "symbolic meanings, ideas and aspirations."

*Aspire to archive American dream. The symbolic meaning of having their kids succeed both educationally and economically.

Competence: "which encompasses skill know-how and technique"

*Incorporating themselves into their communities. Being acknowledged by the governing institutions in society. finding jobs which they are skilled at or have previous knowledge.

Practice Theory

Social Justice

Theory

Social

Justice

  • Equal access and opportunity

  • Los Angeles has the largest Latino population in the U.S.

  • Drivers license for undocumented latinos opens up for many opportunities

  • Fear of deportation

  • No right to receive financial aid or loans

  • No right to vote in federal, state or local elections

Social Change

Theory

:the process of change that entails creating the perception that a change IS needed, then moving foward with the new, desiered level of behavior and finally, SOLIDIFYING that new behavior as the norm. (Lewin 1940)

Social Change

Theory

  • Pre-Contemplation: Disregarding them as a demographic in need of financial support especially now with COVID-19.

  • Preparation: Start by acknowledging undocumented Latinos as part of the population that is affected by financial challenges.

  • Action: Providing programs of financial aid/assistance on the federal/ state/ local levels

Continued...

  • Maintenance

-Make policies/laws that support ALL people in this demographic as opposed to the Angelino Card that supports a very little % of undocumented latinos affected. The Angelino Card is made to help all people in LA that don't have jobs. There is no specific implemented policy that is targeted to help undocumented Latinos in LA.

-Similar programs like TANF

  • Relapse: Educate Population

-Ensure the policy/reform has standards for districts to meet.

-Ensure each district allows people to renew their benefits if need be.
