Introduction

With the religious conflicts that are experienced in today’s world, it becomes challenging to argue that the religion is the foundation of compassion or the universal brotherliness. For instance, the participated war such as War in Iraq had developed a skeptical believe on how different religions view about compassion. Christians are pointing fingers to the Muslims saying that they are the source of the war and conflict that they believe is a holy war against infidel. However, there are religions that advocate the compassionate believe and support the type of moral discourse. This paper will discuss the compassionate face of ...

Abstract

The protestant ethic or what is commonly known as the protestant work ethic is a concept used in economics, sociology and history. It largely attributes much of its theory from the works of Max Weber. This ethic basis its arguments upon the emphasis by the Calvinist on the usefulness of hard work, which according to the Calvinist is part of one’s worldly success and calling and a sign of individual salvation (Grossman, 2006, pp.128- 131). Weber’s ethic therefore, is a study of the relationship that occurs between the spirit of modern capitalism emergence and the ethics of Protestantism.

Research Paper

Abstract
Max Weber has greatly influenced both private and public organizations through his conception of bureaucracy, which he describes as the most efficient, productive structure for any formal organization. He developed the six-point ideal type model as a pattern for formal organizations wanting to streamline and rationalize their systems. However, Weber also recognizes some of the disadvantages of bureaucracy, such as its negative impact on employee morale and customer satisfaction and organizational productivity. Trained incapacity is one of the concepts that explain how bureaucratic practices make formal organizations too rigid or inflexible. This paper critically evaluates and discusses Weber's ...

Both Karl Marx and Max Weber are studied as two of the most interesting and valuable contributors to the field of sociology in their lifetimes. Both of them had strong, philosophical beliefs about what they felt was right and wrong for society as a whole. Both men felt that society would benefit from a capitalistic society ending and a socialist society replacing it in terms of government and economy. But, these two men had very different views as to the reasons behind the changes and how the changes should be instituted.

Karl Marx, the father of communism, had strong convictions of labor and its ...

Max Weber’s Transactional Leadership

Max Weber was a German sociologist who introduced the concept of the transactional and transformational leader. Weber, whose prominence was at its peak in the late 1940’s, broke leaders into three separate the types – bureaucratic, charismatic and traditional. He used these roles to create his Model of Transactional and Transformational leaders (1947). The first frame shows the “charismatic hero,” or transformer. To Weber, this describes one who is “set apart from ordinary people and endowed with supernatural, superhuman powers and heroic charismatic leadership.” In a sense, the transformational leader is similar to a “Superman,” someone who is larger than life.

Problem statement

Weber’s law is one of the most studied phenomenons in experimental psychology. Weber’s law gets used to study the response of human beings to stimuli in a quantitative manner. The law gets used to describe human sensation and perception (Goldstein, 2010). Weber’s law states that the just noticeable difference- JND, is a constant proportion of the original stimulus.
This research proposes to measure the just noticeable difference thresholds of the participants using a psychophysical experimental procedure to prove Weber’s law (Rajamanickam, 2002). This research will aim to replicate Weber’s phenomenon using an adaptive psychophysical procedure in ...

The 1955 short film Les Maitres Fous follows the Hauka movement of 1950s Ghana, in which Ghanans would perform ritual dances and impressions of Colonial administrators. Ostensibly taking on the roles of these British colonizers, the Ghanans would go into a trance and perform the ceremonies that their colonial overlords would perform for themselves. The Hauka movement, as depicted in the film and by director Jean Rouch, is meant to be a form of resistance against the cruel British colonialism that robbed them of their freedom. However, many people (particularly Africans) saw the depiction of the Hauka rituals to be offensive ...

Le Corbusier was an architect famously revered for his modern building designs. Despite the fact that he lived in an era wherein horse-drawn carriages, gaslights, and restrictive society norms, he already envisioned a future in which architecture and art can break separately from its traditionalist origins. Le Corbusier was the second son of Georges-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris a Swiss watch engraver with his wife, Marie-Charlotte-Amelie Perret whose father was also a craftsman. They married in 1883 and after three years, Marie gave birth to their eldest son named Albert in February 6 1886 (Flint xvii; Weber 22). Le Corbusier was born ...

Eugen Weber clearly believes “Dark Ages” is an accurate term to describe the years 500 and 950 A.D. of Western civilization’s history. His reasoning is extremely simple. These centuries were Dark Ages because, he says, “We don’t know much about it,” and, “it was dark and bloody” (Weber). In spite of his claim that little is known about the period, he presents a great deal of information about the years following the fracturing of the Roman Empire and Charlemagne’s crowning.

Today’s historians have largely replaced Dark Ages with the term Middle Ages. Anthropology Professor Peter Wells ...

The Effects of Calvinism on the Industrial Revolution

The evolution of the world has been accompanied by various developments that are worth celebrating. One of the developments is industrialization. Historians have been concerned about understanding the actual cause of industrial revolution, a period that was characterized by the emergence and development of industries. It has been argued that industrial revolution was necessitated by the need to increase production and cater for growing population. It has been further argued that such a development was facilitated by availability of labor, market, fertile lands, accumulated capital and favorable climate for agriculture, among other factors. However, other historians have contended that industrial revolution ...

Part 1

The contributions of four sociologists are considered as the basis of the modern day sociology; they are Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Vilfredo Pareto and George Simmel. This paper is intended for tracing the comparison and contrast of theories proposed by Emile Durkheim and George Simmel. Their theories are one of the bricks of the foundation of Sociology as an independent discipline. While reading the works of these sociologists, it is quite conspicuous to find the transition of thoughts from social philosophy to sociology proper. Here, the contributions to sociology by these great proponents are examined in brief. Though both ...

The Facts of the Case

The ethical issue in this case is predatory pricing, and the parties involved include both local and international retailers. Predatory pricing takes place in showrooms and online advertising media where retailers lower the prices of their products in order to attract and retain customers. This pricing occurs during advertisements as the retailers with monopolistic powers price their products at lowly as a strategy of driving the competitors out of the market. Predatory pricing creates barriers to entry for potential and new competitors since they cannot survive under extremely low prices without incurring losses. Most countries consider predatory pricing anti-competitive and ...

Confucianism is a religion whose origin can be traced from china. There are arguments that Confucianism is not a religion. The supporters of this argue that the religion does not teach anything about life after death. The religion also does not have a certain deity whom they worship. However, Confucianism is a religion that is followed by many people (Weber, 62).
Confucianism is believed to have been started by Confucius even though Confucius himself argued that the beliefs he followed existed long before. Confucius was born long before Jesus was born and lived according to certain philosophies that were later adopted by ...

Tax avoidance

Tax is a compulsory contribution of revenue by the citizens of a country by the citizens to facilitate the provision of goods and services that the private investors are not willing to provide due to the unprofitability of such goods and services. By this, it means that the fact that one pays taxes does not mean that he/she has to demand particular goods and services from the government. In this response, some people will find mechanisms that are meant to ensure that they do not pay taxes or they reduce the burden they incur in the payment of taxes. One of ...

In its abstract sense, the art of leadership involves creating an aspirational vision for an organization’s future. In the process, the leader serves to motivate employees and other stakeholders so as to achieve the goals and objectives set by an organization’s management. In this regard, leadership is an important aspect in not only defining an aspirational future for an organization but also because organizations take after the personalities of their leaders. It is, therefore, important that a leader exhibits a certain set of traits if the organization is to obtain a personality that will endear it to ...

The history of film, much like any other industry throughout time, has largely been male-dominated, with the vast majority of opportunities and accolades going to male filmmakers. However, it is important to note the influence of women in the film industry, and the sorely underappreciated role they have throughout the history of cinema. When tracking women directors through the 100+ years film has existed, their impacts and struggles has ebbed and flowed in surprising ways. From the silent film era’s breadth of opportunities to modern filmmaking’s slow but steady infiltration of women directors today, female filmmakers have ...

Introduction

Online shopping is defined as the act done by shoppers, who are in the middle classes or upper classes, when they use an online platform to order for the goods they require (Weber, 1978). Weber (1978) adds that online shopping for most people is linked with social status, but he adds that this idea is not to be confused with social class stratification. To back this connection of online shoppers with social class, Corrigan (1997), also affirms that societal factors primarily influence the actions of these online shoppers. I therefore argue that there is a major impact on consumption ...

Why is movement important for heritage planning for living historic cities?

The importance of space and movement in cities is well recognized in many disciplines including sociology (Goffman, 1963, 1972; Lefebvre, 1991), geography (Christaller, 1933; Ullman, 1954; Weber, 1921) architecture and urban studies (Jacobs, 1961; Hillier, 1996). For example, in his urban sociological studies, Goffman (1972) looked at movement or flow to uncover the meaning of social interaction and cultural production in a general sense. He referred to mobility as an aspect of urbanity in a number of examples and empirical discussions. Goffman also developed a rich vocabulary for describing mobility in urban life impacting the way we think about self and other, ...

Most of the modern-day scholars claim that bureaucracy is a very inefficient phenomenon. Despite this, there are many bureaucratic organizations in the universe; the United Parcel Service is an example. Max weber, the founder of the concept of bureaucracy, believed that, a bureaucratic form of government was the most superior compared to the rest. It is said that most bureaucratic organizations shows their superiority through the immanent rationality. The problem arises due to the use of the term, rationality, because it is impossible to comfortably agree with Weber that rationality meant efficiency. The United Parcel Service works to ensure that they ...

Family stress

The family unit is the most essential functional social unity anywhere in the world. As time changes, the family unit keeps changing, both in size and the type of relationship among family members. In the 21st century, many social scientists have warned that this essential unit is gradually losing meaning. Why? Life becoming too demanding hence pulls the family members apart (Boss, 2002). The result is a situation where no one is contented with the family relations – a situation referred to as family stress. Family stress has been among the most prominent topics of discussion in social sciences. It is critical ...

Describe the theory of operant conditioning.

“Operant conditioning” is a term given to a system of learned behavior 1937 by B. F. Skinner that has to do with consequences controlling a person or animal’s behavior. Operant Conditioning is conditioning in which a person acquires a repeated association with a consequence with a certain behavior. An example would be a domesticated dolphin who learns that every time he does a double belly flip in the air he is rewarded with his favorite fish, salmon. After enough instances of receiving a salmon after doing a certain thing, consciously or unconsciously he will continue to repeat this behavior because he has associated a positive consequence with it.

The duality between genders has been an ongoing phenomenon since the beginning of mankind - man has always been different from woman, and vice versa. Many conflicts have arisen because of an arguably patriarchal society - it is generally considered that men oppress, and women are subjugated. Feminist theory, on the whole, is a type of conflict theory. According to feminist theory, gender is closely related to power; in this case, mankind has invariably held the power over women in relationships and society as a whole. There has been a systematic oppression of women by men, which thereby prevents them from taking ...

The level of influence and skillfulness of a leader determine the success of an organization (Palshikar, n.d.).

Introduction

Creative destruction is a term used “to refer to the incessant product and the process innovation mechanism by which new production units replace outdated ones” (Schumpeter 81). Backhaus writes that “the term creative destruction is the oxymoron of creation and destruction; it appears to be a paradox. But what it means is to create the new and destroy the old and the new and the old are not on the same dimension” (Backhaus 600). Creative destruction, explain Acs and David, “is the view of the market process as the elimination of the old way of economic life, not as the achievement ...

Theories of Religion

The Functionalism theory was coined by Durkheim whereby the theory views religion from a societal platform based on the way it influences the thinking and behaviour of people. The theory argues that sacred objects tend to have divine properties and people tend to separate them from profane objects (Pals & Pals 2006). Religion is viewed as an aspect that fosters good health and society continuation in general. It is a platform that helps societies to affirm their common beliefs and cultural values on a regular basis while also ensuring that societal order and cohesion is enhanced. The essay looks into ...

Introduction

Residential patterns have been hypothesized to affect intergroup relations. Various research studies have been conducted to establish the holding power of this hypothesis. One of the very basic approach to the studies of residential patterns and their effects on intergroup relations has been the assertion that the residential patterns result in prejudiced intergroup relations. Prejudice, in this case, refers to negative beliefs, feelings, and action orientations regarding a certain group of people. Further, research studies have also underscored the assertion that prejudice is a result of social learning, and it gets transmitted through folklore and; hence, gets supported by ...

Structuration Theory
Structuration theory was developed by Anthony Giddens in 1979 and is highly influential in sociology and social sciences. This theory has received considerable attention in the Information Systems (IS) field. This theory attempts to supersede any deficiencies by presenting how social structures are both constituted by human agency and at the same time, the very medium of this constitution. This is what is referred to as the duality of structure, where the central concept of Gidden’s theory attempts to avoid a dualism of agency and structure. He stressed that in order to question the structuration of ...
