Discussion and Responses

My research indicates the most prized Confucian virtues of Ren, Li, Shu, Xiao, and Wen are social virtues. The notion of sincerity, unlike our Western translation, means to choose naturally what is correct for society. (Molloy, 2010) This being said, Ess states that the Ubuntu project illustrates the emphasis on “community well-being” from the view of this religion, which is much different than our Western individualistic perspective. (Ess, 2009, p. 79)

Sociological Perspectives

Structural functionalism is a perspective of sociology where the society is interpreted as a structure that has interrelated parts. It addresses the society holistically as related to the functions of elements that constitute it. According to this perspective society is made up of customs, norms, institutions, and traditions (Lawler, 2008, p 66). These elements are believed to be the ones working together to form what is viewed as a society. The functionalism perspective considers every part of the society as serving a purpose. If the interdependence of the elements of society is positive, peace and harmony is achieved but if it doesn’t chaos ...

Abstract

Natural and physical sciences have been considered older disciplines than social science. As such, speculations are that methodologies used in social science in many ways either overlap or have been remodeled for the purposes of interpreting social phenomenon. However, the argument has always pertained to determining the extent a social scientific perspective relies on methods drawn from the physical and natural sciences. In the following pages of this document the writer will conduct an evaluation by implicitly formulating a social scientific question; explaining its significance from a social scientific perspective; analyzing three specific research problems which can emerge from this question; providing a ...

Social Conflict Theory on the Family

Before engaging in any studies, researchers usually make assumptions which will act as a blueprint of their studies. Sociological perspectives are assumptions that sociologists make in the study of the family.

The major sociological perspectives include the symbolic perspective, conflict perspective, structural-functional perspective, feminist perspective as well as the social exchange perspective. Generally, the conflict perspective focuses on the constant conflicts that occur between classes and groups. Basically, the ...

Events that led to the separation of consulting firms from auditing firms

The widespread concerns over the practice of providing auditing and consulting services by a firm to the same client are largely due to the need to curb conflict of interest among other reasons. Audit independence is apparently a necessity that defines the integrity of financial reporting. This and other factors have led to the split of consulting firms from auditing firms into two independent businesses operating in separate business environments. This is evidenced by the Enron case, and the general trend being experienced in the industry as observed in recent practices by the major players (Matthews, 2002). The separation of consulting ...

What re some myths about family life in the U.S.?

One of the biggest myths about family life in the U.S. was the myth about the stable and harmonious families that was famously depicted in 1950, even up to some 21st century films wherein the father and every member of the family enjoys their life as a part of that family. The father works hard to provide for his family, while the mother simply does the household chores. According to Eitzen et al. (2009), most husband-wife relationships were empty and in reality, members of the society lived under single-parent family banners with step-parents taking care of them. Divorce was not ...

Q1:The ethicality of offshoring is largely dependent on what services are being offshored. If these are services involving an increased risk in the confidentiality of patient and tax client information (Mintz, 2004), then, offshoring is unethical.

According to feminist researchers, the intimate violence is widely committed by men against women. In the event of family violence, researches show that the rates of violence are evenly distributed among men and women relatively. Sexual violence is omitted by feminist researchers; they ignore the gendered relationships inequality, reasons, intents, and effects of any violence. The fact that women are on average in terms of strength, they are weak compared to men physically. For example, men punched stronger than women do and caused more injuries. However, there are instances that it is hard to identify who first initiated the ...

Introduction

In writing this book, De Waal was too modest. The title of the book is a gross understatement of the sophistication and richness of the literature in the book. Any scholar would be hard-pressed in finding another t-the-point, fair-minded, graceful yet compact exploration of the tormented, fascinating and the utterly complex region that Asia represents. The literature in the book is diverse in that his arguments do not just confine to the Russian great-power games but also explores the fault lines and many cross-cutting intricacies in the region.

In the start of the book, De Waal explores the ancient glories ...

Question 1

Biosocial criminology cannot lead to oppressive and inhumane crime-control policies since it combines information across various fields of study in order to create cohesive perspective to study the relationship of crime and criminals (Beaver and Walsh, 2011). This means that by studying how the genetic influences play a major role in the formation of the anti-social behavior, can lead to effective crime control policies to deter crimes in the future. Several behavioral genetic studies of antisocial behaviours have shown how the study of mild forms of aggression can lead to deviant forms of criminal behavior of a person. It is the ...

Elizabeth Telfer is absolutely correct in her classification of food as a simple and minor art. Of course, as Telfer points out, food is limited by its transience (24) and that it is considered differently because of “the usefulness of food and drink” (21), but I think she tries to work around this to prove that it does not matter, rather than differentiating food for nourishment and food for an aesthetic experience. She talks about the aesthetics of food (10), but she ignores that there is an element of eating that is purely based on the aesthetic pleasure. People ...

Claude Monet was a master Impressionist artist, whose works inspired a new art movement. His radical style often depicted un-idealized landscapes, whose colors where unrealistic, moving away from the traditional earth tones. The main relationship between him and his art focused on the sensation of viewing nature. Monet often used the fall of light in a way in which it would in nature, not just spotlighting key elements as was the previous style. Monet painted in bold, separate strokes or vivid color.

Monet often suffered from criticism from his peers in the art world. Many called him a failure because of his devotion ...

In recent times, there has been an overwhelming amount of concern on ethnic and racial disparities in health, in the United States.

Williams (2007) feels that “these statuses dictate the level of health concern, among many Americans”. The relationships depicted in these reports influence my opinion on racism, diversity, and health.

Existence of God

In the general sphere of religion, there are many conflicting issues pertaining to existence of God. This is mainly caused by the different ways in which religious faiths interpret the existence of God. However some other aspects of the existence of God are universally accepted across the different religious faiths. Some of these aspects are: omnipresence, all powerful, the creator and the Supreme Being (www.existence-of-god.com, paragraph 3).

Looking at some basic facts that are evident across all these arguments, there is a universal acceptance that God has unknown origin to human knowledge. This fact is supported by the fact that ...

Abstract

In this paper, I will analyze how money-making motivations are connected to subjective well-being. Money-making motivations are frequently distributed into realistic and unrealistic motivations, and that depends on the possibility of attaining them through making money. However, the distribution of motivations into realistic and unrealistic does not have to represent the absolute truth in every scientific research and real life scenario. Scientific research shows various conflicting findings on money-making motivations and their relationship with well-being. I will analyze the importance of cultural influences, value conflict, and associations with money in defining subjective well-being. Money-making motivations are an essential factor ...

The reason I find this particular type of research (second language acquisition, particularly of Arabic) appealing is my fascination with intercultural studies and the difficulty of defense language learning. Because Arabic is such a uniquely difficult language for an English speaker, due to their dramatic structural differences, finding new and better ways to learn it is vitally important.

I know many people in the military; as a result, I have several preconceptions toward military and American attitudes toward Arabic as a language. Often, cultural attitudes toward Arabs and the like are relatively negative; the aggression and violence bred by military service, combined ...
