Essays on Identity

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094). The main cause for such an outcome was the fact ...

Article Review

Article Review I review such article as “Gender Flux: Transatlantic Influence on Fashioning the Cross-dresser in American Silent Cinema” by author Ricardo E. Zulueta. It has been published in the journal “The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture” in 2015. It should be noted, that until now, there is no single view of the nature of gender. On the one hand, gender is associated with the models, which are developed for the scientific description of the problems associated with gender issues. On the other hand, gender may be considered as a social phenomenon, which is created by people in ...

Social identities and Marketing

Part 1 The article addresses the importance of social identities in the light of customer’s behavior. Champniss et all. (2015) showed that the main reason for some unsuccessful campaigns is the missed social identity of the potential group of customers. A person has its own social identity, but it is a complex matter, which differs depending on the circumstances. When performing surveys the marketers and sociologist should take it into account and try to so simulate the condition, so the final evaluation would give the objective result. In any particular moment person associates himself only with the most ...

According to the first scenario that is persons who have high cholesterol levels, the characteristics of the sick role does not apply. This is because in as much as the person has high cholesterol levels the person is not sick of heart disorders and therefore not exempted from the normal social roles in society are exempted from the normal social roles in the society (Weitz,2016). Looking at our second case persons who have genes that show high chances of developing breast cancer are not responsible for the condition in which they are. In our second case, the characteristics ...

Introduction

All companies must adapt to their specific niche or they are doomed to failure. American Apparel is no exception to this rule. While some companies choose to address the variety of competitive players in the market through designing better products or by offering the same quality at lower prices, other businesses choose to use a single feature that defines the product that they are offering. For American Apparel, there is no evidence of higher quality than analogous brands, and the prices are quite high for the clothing they are offering; as such, the company’s main appeal for the ...

The identity of a child in an interracial relationship, irrespective of the ethnicity of the parents or partners, creates complexities for the child that is based around confusion and racism. The stress of the confusion creates a sense of perplexity from an early stage, from understanding two ethnic cultures, the way of life, eating habits to name a few. The child in an interracial relationship is heavily burdened with expectation from a very early stage that creates unnecessary pressure on them to belong to two sets of norms and cultures, since the most stress comes early on from a ...

The autobiography of Catalina de Erauso is very attractive for scholars, who investigate such aspects as identity, authorship, sexuality and gender; the most important aspect can be considered masculinity of this character. She had desire to become a man for receiving the status in society, which was dominant by males, and the possibility to show her identity. The transformation of Erauso’s conduct into masculine manners, sometimes in violent form, was necessary for persuasion and becoming powerful, successful and accepted at the times of colonial Spain. Her destination, attitude and deeds have made this person exciting and extraordinary in ...

Emily Dickinson is an original poet as she used her pen to challenge the existing conventions of poetry. Throughout her poems, Emily clearly experimented with a style of expression that moved away from the traditional styles of poetry and took on a unique style that made her speakers sharp-sighted observers who face the challenges of no escape from their societies. Additionally, Dickenson used her poems as a sword that would serve to liberate the speakers from the inescapable boundaries of the society. Clearly, Dickenson wrote poems that broke away from the traditional rules of poetry which challenged the narrow-minded ...

Gender Inequality (Unending Nightmare of Sexual Assault)

According to Roberts, Hite, and Chorev (2015), inequality is present with gender, social status, race, ethnicity, and even skin colors. In this case, inequality focuses on gender discrimination. In this world, this vital social disease has been making millions of women suffer for centuries. The most common ideology resulting to women discrimination is that men are superior over women in every aspect of life. Women in America have struggled for years because of gender inequality resulting to lack and denial of rights. In the early years, women were deprived of so many things like education, right to vote, and ...

Introduction

The increasing number of ill elderly or frail elderly is a significant challenge in western countries. The elders can be given care by the parents at homes and sometimes by nurses. The problem is mainly found in western nations that have developed homes for elderly people. The number of the patients is increasing thus reducing the bed spaces in the available hospitals, hence forcing many of the families to take care of their patient at homes. Paying for the forma care caregiving can be too expensive for most families and hence with improved education and awareness the care can ...

“A Serious Talk” by R. Carver covers the themes of separation, jealousy and identity crisis through the conflict development between protagonist Burt and his antagonist Vera with the help of limited narration, extensive symbolism, dramatic irony and absurd actions. The third-person point of view seems objective at first, but later clearly hints that the narration is limited to protagonist perspective, which shows how the main character is unable to let go of his wife. Moreover, it is seen in Burt’s attitude to Vera’s house, as if it is his own, and in his mention of multiple Vera’ ...

Introduction

Globalization has given rise to an environment that continues to change in terms of complexity as local business expand and begin competing with other businesses for a share of the vast global market. Globalization has essentially compelled corporations, nations and by extension, regions to be overly interdependent (Adair, Hideg & Spence, 2013). This has resulted from greater consumer awareness that has resulted in the development of new standards and demands resulting from the fact that different nations project varying cultural inclinations (D'Netto et al, 2014). Nations and more specifically business are embracing the ...

Introduction

Sociology is a social science that seeks to create the impetus for the utilization of objective standards and views for the review and analysis of concepts and ideas. This include the use of empirically proven methods and theories to examine and critique ideas and pointers. Several approaches and methods are used for the evaluation and analysis of different cultures. The purpose of this paper is to utilize the etic (outsider’s) and emic (insider’s) approach of cultural analysis to evaluate the African-American subculture of the United States of America.

The Transformational Leadership Program has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life and I have learnt lifelong lessons that will make me a better professional and person. I can look back at this time in my life as one that challenged me to think outside of my own world view and to become aware of what is really required to fulfill a vision of a better future. I have always been aware of some discrimination against African Americans but I have never really known how to overcome these inequalities and have always looked at these inequalities ...

Collectivist and Individualist Cultures

Introduction Cultures are naturally grouped into two: individualist and collectivist. On most of the occasions, cultures differ regarding the importance of individual welfare and group welfare. Societies where personal welfare is cherished nurture members who are more of self-promoting and dependent naturally. In contrast, collective societies highlight the significance of group welfare over the individual desires and needs, thus creating a more inter-dependent society. Because not every individual within a given society will be affected in precisely the same way, each individual claims a cultural personal-identity, which manifests some culturally recognized values. An individual’s cultural identity then offers ...

1 Copernicus model was an improvement of the previous cultural belief of a sun-centered solar system defined by Aristotle. He generated a theory that the earth spins once daily on its axis and always revolves around the sun. He claimed that the sun is at the center of the earth, and all the planets are organized in orbits all around the sun. This model was a revolutionary in the in that it helped understand the organization of the planets, the sun, and earth (Cunningham 89). The belief had been in use for up to one hundred years when the ...

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 ...

“Time flies” is written on the very title of the page. Art, the author himself, is wearing a mask of a mouse as if drawing an association between himself and the characters of his book. I believe that the mouse mask is chosen intentionally and worn voluntarily; it hides authors’ true identity which we never get to see, while adjusting him to the society he exists in, and to a certain circumstances of his presence. Perhaps, he wants to be accepted and he is aware of the role he has to play. In my opinion Art Soiegelman is wearing ...

According to Piaget`s theory, adolescence is the period of the fourth stage of the cognitive development. The formal stage is a stage of cognitive development during which the individual learn to think abstractly, to use concepts; combinatorial mental ability develops. Analyzing an event, a phenomenon, an individual can take into account all aspects of this phenomenon(Wood, Smith & Grossniklaus, 2001). Three key features of adolescent thinking are (1) the ability to combine different variable when searching for the solution to the problem, (2) the ability to guess about how one phenomenon influences others, (3) the ability to join ...

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 ...

Among several social issues, whistleblowing is one of the major issues which individuals or employees linked to an organization have to face at some point in their lives. We must understand that all businesses do not run on ethical standards no matter how much they pretend to believe in ethics and fair dealing. Landau (2013) mentioned that there are certain practices or wrongdoings going on at different levels which employees ignore or consider less important whereas some employees do take notice of any unethical activity and can see how the consequences can create losses for the organization in the ...

Abstract

Modern science and technology have had lasting impacts in the area of criminal investigations. Forensic science enables police, law enforcement, and investigators to detect small amounts of evidence left on items and persons at crime scenes. Certain evidence, such as tiny blood stains, were once invisible to the naked eye and had little value to an investigation because the technology for testing the evidence was simply not invented yet. A criminal always transfers some kind of trace evidence between himself and the victim during every crime. Trace evidence is broad and includes things from soil and paint chips to ...

The poem of “Girl” is written like a description of a poor female who lives in a rural area. While some of the descriptions are those which apply to African American women, these terms could also apply to other women who live in these areas. While it is written more like a short story without any dialogue, it seems as though the young girl has some issues with her identity. Does she feel like she does not live up or is she constantly reminded by someone else that some of the things that she does in life are not ...

The researchers specified the theoretical approaches to the planning, organization and implementation of interaction between school and family in the process of education. Analysis of important problems in the work of teachers, psychologists and sociologists confirms the issues of psycho-pedagogical work ...

Postmodernism in architecture, as well as in art, was born from modernism. Now modernism represents what we would conceive to be the “good old days,” wherein everything was structured and planned. Strikingly, as modernism was making its appearance, thus, achieving its name, it looked like many things, but structured was not one of them. Still, because modernism was so fragmented, the post-modern era’s identity became even more unclear. In a way, it has become so convoluted, pulling from everything it can from the past and present, it represent nothing more than a desperate attempt to be different from ...

Since ancient times, thanks to the social needs a person had to distinguish and take into account individual psychological characteristics of people. Even then, people began to think about the existence of a spiritual principle, which has guided their behavior. Psychology, as a special scientific discipline, was born in the depths of philosophy, and so the psychological "dimension" of identity is very difficult to identify and explore not focusing on the philosophical doctrine of man, the specifics of its existence (individual and public), about the nature of human consciousness and activity. The formation of psychology as a science has ...

Marjan Satrapi portrays herself in several lights in the book that are unique and different from each other. Satrapy starts by identifying herself as a conflicted young girl who is both traditional and modern; later she becomes the embodiment of the last great prophet; she also portrays herself as justice, love and wrath of god in one being. As time passes, Satrapi takes many other forms such as a revolutionary, a good person and a bad person, budding adult conflicted with the western ideals, women who has compromised her individual personal liberties, sophisticated and modern Persian women among many ...

The manner in which we make decisions on which products to consume is reliant on a variety of factors. These factors come into play and influence our decision-making mechanism of deciding which product to consume and which not to. Behavioral psychologists and marketing scholars have identified several relationships that are determinant of our consumption routines. These are; our consumption and well-being, consumption and identity, consumption and our emotions and consumption and our beliefs and attitudes (Saad, 2010). These relationships do not all come into play when deciding which product to consume; there are some which are dominant determinants of ...

Religion and all its embodiments is one of the most widespread movements in the world since time immemorial. At times, it unites people as nothing else and gives us will and power to be merciful, kind and spiritually oriented. Among all the innumerable religious groups, I choose to stick to Druze, as it merges together the features of different traditions and opens a road to being a comprehensive human being. Apart from being a name for the religion, Druze is also a name of people in the Middle East, which has “has a unique historical, social and demographic structure” ( ...

The Book of Revelation has yielded different interpretive possibilities for just about as long as there have been theologians around to read and explain it. This is a book that is filled with mysteries, whether it is the identity of the four apocalyptic horsemen who are supposed to usher in the judgment of God, the timing of the rising of people from the dead for that judgment, and whether Jesus Christ returns before the tribulation of the believers or after -- or whether the 1,000-year reign that the book discusses is literal or figurative in nature. After all, ...

One of the most well-known icons of masculinity in twentieth-century American culture was Ernest Hemingway, who made a huge show out of his high levels of testosterone, pursuing such interests as big-game hunting, gallivanting to Europe to volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, and other acts of bravado. It’s likely that this came about as a result of what his mother Grace had done when he was quite young. His mother had wanted twins, but she didn’t get them. Instead she got a daughter Marcelline, and then 18 months later, Ernest came along. However, she built a ...

A family is the fundamental building block of any society. Another translation of the same is that it plays a huge functional role in the determination of our personalities and the values we hold dear in our lives. It plays the nurturing role for a child so that he or she can learn of the society and how to survive it. The family is my choice of a social institution that I will use to create my sociological portrait. The reason for this choice is because of the relationship the members of my family bear. The most interesting thing ...

1. In questioning the ways that the Romans can be considered to have been heirs to Greek and Hellenistic civilization it becomes evident that there were various cultural influences that the Greek's idea of civilization provided to the Roman identity. In looking at the various aesthetic, cultural, and religious values that were derived from Greek culture, it is evident that there was a profound influence that occurred between the Greek and Roman's point of view. Furthermore, in comparing the answers to this question given by Professor Weber and by Professors Matthews, Platt, and Noble further insight into this relationship ...

Introduction

The case for sex against gender as bipolar concepts is controversial. If anything, "gender" has arisen as an increasingly adopted concept in social sciences as part of feminist postulations about "inherent" differences between women's femininity and men's masculinity, particularly as to emphasize "gender" as a basis for social and cultural distinction and "sex" as a biological difference between women and men (Haig, 2004). This distinction appears, however, to be more than a linguistic one. Further, in being adopted, both concepts appear to raise calls for re-examination of initial usages – and, for that matter, applications – of both concepts as to ...

Social movements being collective activities and efforts used by certain groups of people or institutions and organizations to bring about desired social change in the society have been in existence in the US and other parts of the world since time immemorial. The most notable ones are the civil rights movements in the beginning of the 18 century and industrial revolution period (Snow, Soule & Kriesi 26). These social movements make use of a variety of strategies to recruit their members ranging from social networks to collective identity. They play a significant role in mobilizing social, economic and political change ...

A short story “Everyday Use” was written by an outstanding American poetess, writer, political activist and a feminist Alice Walker. The writer pays close attention to the problem of deracination and national identity of people. The short story under consideration is dedicated to the idea of national heritage, its meaning, and a changing idea about its value. It has to be noted that nowadays, in the era of multiculturalism, people do not pay such a close attention to their cultural identity and do not try to make other people accept it, because they are respectful of one’s uniqueness, ...

Family firms are the most universal type of business on the planet. In the United States, 33% of the organizations in the S&P 500 are owned and controlled by the establishing family, and family firms represent 80-90% of the organizations in the private sector. There can be most likely families that assume a critical part in the landscape of advanced business. On the other hand, since numerous individuals have suppositions about how families work, they frequently have presumptions about how family organizations fill in also (Adams, Taschian, & Shore, 1996).One focal presumption rotates around the idea of development - ...
