Who is Danica Patrick ?

Expert Solution
INTRODUCTION

Sociology is an independent discipline that focuses on several social and cultural aspects. It studies the social problems from a vast majority of perspectives. It also provides policy insights to solve the problems through various steps and measures.

EXPLANATION

Modern society has come up with several occupations. Unlike traditional societies, which are solely dependent on agriculture and the trade of agricultural produce as the economic occupations, modern society has come up with occupations in education, health, industrial and service, etc. The amount of income that one draws depends on the occupation one performs. Some of the considered leisure and physical endurance activities and mental well-being like sports and games have become economic opportunities that provide higher incomes. Car racing has also become one of the income opportunities for the people in the modern city, which provides higher incomes and recognition and respect in society. It is associated even with cultural representations. Danica Patrick is also an American professional racing driver. She is the one, in the history of American wheel racing, the most successful woman. She is the first woman to participate in it and draw achievements. She is the one who stands as a representation of breaking the gender barriers and throwing the gender socialization process away, as the men are socialized to perform violent sports and women are expected to perform the sensitive activities.
