Abstract

Abstract Research shows that White conservative Protestants’ individualistic views impede their pursuit of structural solutions to social injustice. When introduced to a structural perspective through a sociology course, what religio-cultural tools do conservative Protestant students use to interpret the impact of social factors on their lives? Through an analysis of student reflections, I found that the primary way they made sense of social factors was through a lens of divine control, and this did not vary by social location. A secondary way was viewing them as unfair, a view that was more common among advantaged students than disadvantaged students.

“上帝为我的生活计划的一部分”:保守的新教学生如何理解社会力量和社会不平等
研究表明,白人保守新教徒的个人主义观点阻碍了他们对社会不公正的结构性解决方案的追求。当通过社会学课程引入结构视角时,保守的新教学生使用什么宗教文化工具来解释社会因素对他们生活的影响?通过对学生反思的分析,我发现他们理解社会因素的主要方式是通过神的控制,而这并不因社会位置而异。第二种方法是认为他们不公平,这种观点在条件优越的学生中比在条件不利的学生中更为普遍。
