The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Disability provides foundational chapters on where we have been, where we are now, and where we must go with research on and in the sociology of disability. In doing so, the Handbook chapters wrestle with important questions around inequality, poverty, exclusion, political activism and empowerment, cultural attitudes, global policies and practices, and much more.

Abstract  In this paper I discuss methods of integrating women into social stratification studies. Traditional stratification studies have focused only on the male "heads" of households. While considering this problem within a conceptual framework of theoretical assumptions and empirical evidence, I would like to review some of the earlier work in this area.I propose to differentiate social stratification into "occupational stratification" and "consumption stratification" in order to facilitate the integration of women into these studies. I shall use data from a nationwide survey to show how and why the traditional male head‐of‐household approach is inappropriate in determining the social stratification of households.Rather than considering the occupation of the male head of the household, I use the concept of "substantive complexity of work" to compare paid work with housework. If a married woman is working outside the home, I define her occupation as that which scores higher in this comparison.I also suggest that we further subcategorize consumption stratification. Finally, I propose integrating the suggestions made in this paper with the status inconsistency approach to social stratification.

Abstract
This article deciphers the views of the German thirteenth century preacher Berthold von Regensburg about 'social nature' as they are demonstrated in his sermon 'Of the five talents'. Berthold von Regensburg interprets the Gospel parable (Matthew, 25: 14–30) quite freely, in accordance with the social realities of his own time. The 'talents' given by God to the human being are their personalities, social vocations, or offices, life‐time, wealth, and love to their neighbours. Such an interpretation of the sacral text in the sermon read in a big South German town seems to be a kind of reflection of the burghers' mentality. The hypothesis finds its further confirmation in other sermons in which he enumerates the professional groups of that society; this analysis is clearly town‐oriented. A fuller context for this text is provided in the author's own work especially 'Questions of Philosophy'Voprosi Philosophii (Moskva, 1990)

Abstract This research study is used to find out the political communication strategies used in today's media era with the presence of digital media. Mastery of digital media is the latest technology needed in changing society. Social media is becoming a media that is more used by legislative candidates because it has a targeted impact on prospective voters who are desired by political candidates.

"The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Africa presents to a broad readership an accessible, comprehensive, up to date, and topical comparative analysis of sociological thinking in Africa. Sociological discourse about African societies has been challenging and difficult, due to a lack of both comprehensive analyses and holistic sociological evidence that covers Africa from past to present times. This Handbook brings together latest analyses of sociological phenomena from the best scholars working on numerous thematic areas. It provides contributions that locates African sociological thinking in historical context and takes a critical look at its current manifestations across the continent. This collection builds upon an existing body of literature which has demonstrated that while the analysis of African societies has long been an item on the agenda of sociologists worldwide, advances of the decolonial critique made notably by African scholars in Africa enhances the scholarship of the sociology of Africa. Thus, the collection is premised upon the understanding that in order to understand the sociology of Africa as significant intervention, the participation and representation of African ways of knowing and doing is a critical starting point. This Handbook comprises a series of scholarly and interdisciplinary perspectives on current debates over how best to unpack sociological imaginations in African context. The scholarly contributions, therefore, are based on both perspectives illustrating the importance of specificity in sociological phenomenon"--
