Question 2

American sociologist Talcott Parsons described the sick role as being composed of rights and obligations. What are the two rights he discussed?

Accepted Answer

American sociologist Talcott Parsons, in his work on the social role of sickness, described the "sick role" as a concept that outlines the social expectations of behavior for individuals who are ill. According to Parsons, when a person becomes sick, they enter into the sick role, which comes with certain rights and obligations. The two rights that Parsons discussed are:

1. The right to be exempt from normal social roles: When a person is sick, they are not expected to perform their normal social duties. This means that they are temporarily relieved from responsibilities such as going to work, attending school, or taking care of family members. Society understands that the sick individual may not be capable of fulfilling these roles due to their illness.

2. The right to not be held accountable for their condition: As long as the illness is legitimately recognized, the sick person is not blamed for their health condition. Society accepts that the individual is not intentionally falling ill and therefore should not be stigmatized or held responsible for their inability to perform their usual roles.

These rights are contingent upon the sick individual fulfilling certain obligations, which include the obligation to try to get well and to seek competent help from medical professionals. Parsons' concept of the sick role is a way to understand how illness is managed within a social context and how society supports individuals during their periods of ill health.
