The credentialism approach in understanding sociology and education advocates that:. 1. the content of education is its most important component
2. the credential implies having training and skills necessary to do a job and is equal in importance to the content
3. the credential is valid only if it stems from quality content and a common cultural environment in the classroom
4. the creation of a common cultur in educational environments
5. the content is much less important than the diploma or credential itself

5. The content is much less important than the diploma or credential itself.

Explanation:

This firstly in its definition talks about relying on the fact or guards of credentials before hiring a worker. It ties a strict insistency and strong emphasis on rating or giving a job to an individual based on the amount or fact the person carry a reasonable credentials.

In the other hand, its theoretical approach discussed a lot on structural functionalism. The vital aspect of it was done by Karl Marx, where he explained the idea of social class and conflict between classes, and those who were been affected by his theory.

This is why education advocates that the content is much less important than the diploma or credential itself.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
