Answer to Question 1

Sociologists understand that individuals do have the ability to make their own decisions. However, they recognize that these decisions are largely constrained by their social environments. This is one of the core ideas of sociology.

Answer to Question 2

This theory holds that a particular type of person is likely to display prejudice. Authoritarian individuals were punished frequently as children. As a result, they grow up with a deep anger, are completely submissive to authority, and have a tendency to blame their troubles on people that they see as inferior to themselves.
