At some point, however, the individual can no longer ge t the desired feeling no matter how much more of the substance is taken. The sociology of addiction also includes the study of the use of substances such as marihuana (Becker, 1953) and the hallucinogens (Aaronson and Osmond, 1970) that do not fit Lindesmith’s criteria, as they do not produce a physiological tolerance. However, this research adds importantly to the literature and will therefore be included in this paper. It should also be noted that not all work in the sociology of addiction has been done by sociologists. Important contributions have also been made by social anthropologists (e.g., Bourgois, 1995, 1998, 2003; Bourgois and Schonberg, 2009; Hoffer,Show MoreRelatedBible Versus the Toran12356 Words   |  50 PagesName: Sandra R.

Members of the Leatherworker (Chamar) caste are ascribed a very low status consonant with their association with the caste occupation of skinning dead animals and tanning the leather. Butchers (Khatiks, in Hindi), who kill and cut up the bodies of animals, also rank low on the caste hierarchy because of their association with violence and death.
