Answer to Question 1

Since English professors experience greater status inconsistency than do business professors, English professors would be more radical (or less conservative). They might tend to assign books that challenge existing power relations or treat poor and powerless people sympathetically.

Answer to Question 2

While most persons hold positions of similar wealth, prestige and power, sometimes a person might be ranked very high or low on one dimension in comparison to the others. The result is described as status inconsistency. Because of the frustrations of status inconsistency that people experience, they tend to be politically radical. Sudden wealth can also cause anomie, or a sense of normlessness, for those from the lower classes that win a large cash lottery. Another consequence leaves status inconsistent men twice as likely to have a heart attack as status consistent, while status inconsistent women do not have more heart attacks.
