Football, Racism and British Society Research

[theacademic]

I've just started a research project looking at whether Britain is regressing to a less civil state with less social constraint and more casual aggression. The questionnaire has just gone live at http://www.topfan.co.uk and as you’ll see, the questions are very current. Is British society going through what sociologists would refer to as a de-civilising trend? Have your say in the survey and thanks in advance.

not sure why someone studying casual aggression would come on HNA?

[Royal With Cheese]

Dedicated aggression perhaps.

Isn't the OP making a statement - either deliberately or sub-consciously - by coming onto a football fan site asking about racisim and aggression?

Has he/she approached the Women's Institute I wonder????

[From Despair To Where?]

The questions are so current, I was addressing the same ones 18 years ago at university.

Sociology - The science of endlessly stating the bleeding obvious.

Article linked on that survey is quite interesting, about the "collapse of civility" in Britain:

Very right-wing republican though.

Yes it is isn't it. Good to read all kinds of perspectives.

Just had a read through the comments

Someone even equates increased crime to the fact that it’s not easy to own a gun over here.

It's gotten so bad, he writes, that up to 50 percent of the population is thinking about immigrating abroad "to escape the other 50 percent of the population."


er

they're not think about immigrating at all

anyway anyone who thinks Britain is broken should try running a Marathon, the support is absolutely brilliant. check the Claire Squires just giving, and the Jubilee. people who think we live in a brutish society need their head checked.

haha fantastic comments!

"100%. buy more ammo."

The demographic of that support would be interesting.

[Wax Jacket]

in BRighton it was surprisingly chavvy. and Whitley always has good support in the RHM

Kids 20 years ago had no respect either. It's just kids.

I respected my parents and other older ones. All comes down to how you're brought up.

[ZacNaloen]

well yes, I've always respected my elders etc etc because I wasn't brought up by a family of ingrates.

But there have always been families of ingrates, that's the real problem.

And all kids get lumped into the same bracket by the elders. Those stupid kids. But they can't help it.
