Introduction

In the book, “The Behavior of Law” Donald Black tries to explain how the conduct of law is a social phenomenon. Black describes a general, quantitative and predictive theory that describes the various conditions within which law is applied or can be applied. Black argues that since law is a social phenomenon, it does not take into account the human nature concept. As such, law can be explained without incorporating a person’s motivations or any other psychological motivations. This means that the theory does not take into account the rationality of human beings and also the goals and ...

The most important one I would use is to come up with research questions that seek to give the meaning of bullying. These questions will be guided by the premises of finding out the causes of bullying, its consequences, who the victims of bullying are, and who bullies ...

[Introduction] Popular culture and religion have the same thing in common: symbols. Symbols are an inherited system of notions that express in representation forms a people’s “knowledge about and attitude towards life” (Geertz 89).

1. Blocked Responses Robert Merton’s strain theory focuses on the stress, anxiety and deviance caused by “discrepancies in cultural goals and the legitimate means to achieve them,” (Murphy & Robinson, 2008, p. 503).

Observed Affects of Age, Gender, and Culture

Introduction

The objective of this observational research is to test two hypotheses. First, that in contemporary society traditional male courtesies toward unknown females, such as allowing females to disembark first from an elevator, are rarely practiced by younger men, for example those under 40 years old. This is probably not because younger men are ill-mannered, but because females are perceived as more independent today than they were in the past and so do not require special treatment. Since this male deference is no longer offered consistently, a female elevator passenger is now in ...

Introduction

Sociology comes with a broad array of ideas and theories that describe every-day things like identity, social integration and others. Some of these concepts include the concept of the home and identity/belonging. “Home” is where a person has an attachment and builds social and political identity. On the other hand, “Belonging” is about a sense of identity and connection to a particular community. The concept of home has been split along the lines of local and global perspectives in the 21st Century. This is because in a generation of individualism, technology and globalisation, it is easier than ever to ...

Culture refers to a state of manners, tastes and the intellectual development of a people coupled with their ideas, arts, and customs at a given time (Hernandez et al.). As such, it is the outline that guides human behavior and also influences individual thoughts and actions of a particular society.

Culture is an essential aspect in human interaction. In fact, lack thereof implies that the entire human population would share common beliefs and ideologies thereby affecting development. As such, it is essential to embrace cultural diversity as it enhances proper coexistence and progress. Culture refers to a cumulative understanding of beliefs, experiences, knowledge, roles and notions in life. In many cases, different communities share cultural beliefs that are passed down their generations. Similarly, interaction of people with different cultures can span the development of a new way of life. Consequently, the development of culture and its diversity is inevitable. ...

Locke wrote his concepts of the self in a response to Descartes and used similar terminology and addressed many of the same issues. Although there are several disagreements in their work, both can be considered analogous in many ways. One distinct difference between the authorships, is the motivation of Locke in penning An Essay concerning Human Understanding. Both a direct motivation, and the ironically innate thesis of Locke’s work on identity, was to make an argument about the idea of moral culpability. The Renaissance was dwindling and a new era of thinkers in Europe were emerging, and with ...
