Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Throughout the history of psychological discovery, psychologists have proposed many ideas. One such theory, named by Herbert Blumer, is referred to as Social Interactionist Theory. Through the work of Blumer, as well as the efforts of George Herbert Mead, Blumer’s teacher, and Mead’s cohort, Charles Horton Cooley, the trio was able to devise an idea that explained our social selves and the world we inhabit. Unlike psychologists before them, Mead and Cooley attempted to explain human development and interaction as it occurred in small groups, rather than attaching people as one single unit. The theory also attempted ...

Introduction

Information Technology has transformed major areas of human life. Technology has made it easier for humans to communicate and interact with each other. Infusing classrooms with digital learning materials such as computers, hand held devices and the internet increases student-to-student interaction as well as student-teacher interaction (Bitner & Bitner, 2002). Interaction forms the basis of learning as through it students get to discuss educational materials with each other (Sharma & Barrett, 2011). Students also tend to initiate discussions with the teachers, therefore, understanding of the course’s contents. Information technology makes this educational interaction faster than it is without technology whereby ...

Description of the theory

A theory is an ideology or system of ideas developed by an individual to explain a phenomenon. Symbolic interaction theory was established by sociologist known as George Herbert Mead, who up to date is considered one of the great sociologists on earth. This theory states that symbolic interaction is the process of the interaction information of meanings for individuals. He says that people tend to behave in a particular manner or act to a situation based on the symbolic meaning they relate to a situation. Meanings and symbols allow individual to carry out the distinctively human action (Herman 2003). ...

Background

Witness Protection Programs are an extension of law enforcement that is shrouded in secrecy. Originally developed to protect organized crime witnesses, these programs now have wider application (UN, 2008). In criminal cases involving members of organized crime, witnesses testify at risk to their own lives, or personal safety, as well as those close to them. This is not the only group with whom a witness may find themselves, and their families, in peril. Over the years, Witness Protection has evolved to also include other well-resourced individuals and groups who are facing criminal conviction, such as despots and war criminals ...

Virtual Communities

Technology reflects the lives human beings lead; cell phones represent our desire to communicate remotely from virtually any location, computers and the internet reflect our thirst for information, and online social networks are the spitting image of the kinds of connections humans make on a daily basis in reality. On Facebook and Myspace, people use their personalized profile pages to demonstrate their social or economic status. Sometimes the number of friends a person has is used as an indication of their social classification. While these online communities are entirely digital and, from a literal standpoint, have no material basis, ...

Throughout the history of the field of sociology, sociologists have studied sociology, or “human behavior in society (Anderson and Taylor, 2011, p.4)” using different theoretical frameworks. Sociologists examine how societies operate and take a closer look at social phenomena and problems using a variety of different theories. These several theories are generally categorized within three major, or macro, theories or perspectives: Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory and Symbolic Interaction. Each of these theories is valuable and they are often blended or used together to explain social happenings. Structural functionalism, or functionalism, approaches society as a system of interrelated parts. With ...

Is technology making us more alone?

The 21st century has seen an increase in the use of technology. Scenarios of individuals walking while listening to their iPods, people at restaurants using their iPads or mobile phones are common.

How technology leads to social isolation or ...

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 ...

Introduction

Cells are independent units of life. However, when a cell becomes part of an organism, it becomes part of a tissue and organ system. Cells in a tissue are joined to each other and to the extracellular matrix (ECM) by cell junctions. There are three kinds of cell junctions: Occluding junctions, anchoring junctions and communication junctions. Occluding junctions occur in the epithelium where the adjacent cells are so tightly sealed together that even small molecules cannot pass. Communicating junctions allow the exchange of chemical and electrical signals between cells. Anchoring junctions are the ones which attach a cell either ...

INTRODUCTION:

The concept of Cottrell atmosphere is important to many aspects of material sciences and engineering. This was first proposed by Cottrell and Bilby in 1949 to explain the interaction of solute carbon atoms with defects in steel. The Cottrell atmospheres occur under the interaction between the dislocations and impurities (alloying elements) in matrix metal. These defects, like a dislocation, produce long-range elastic stress fields that distort the interstitial lattice site around the defect in the matrix. These distorted lattice sites then provide lower energy sites for the solute carbon to occupy, thus relieving some of the stress field. This ...

Abstract

In second language acquisition, the teaching methods are primarily meant to contribute to learner’s acquisition of the language, not learning of the targeted foreign language. This implies focusing on communication (enhancing the vocabulary) and on process rather than on grammar and on product (learning the language). In this context, for stimulating the communication, teachers need to create relaxed environments for the learners to feel comfortable in communicating and interacting among themselves, sharing their experience with others and in the same time learning from various strategies or language acquisition methods. Such language acquisition methods are presented in the current ...

The theory of expanding consciousness highly draws its rationale from the theory of the human unity that was crafted by Martha Rodgers. The formulation of this theory was motivated by the rising bone of contention regarding the definition of health. Different theorists were of the view that health of was the lack of diseases or any other bodily malfunction within a human being (Newman, 1994, p.21). Margret Newman sought to expand the scope of understanding regarding the concept of human health. This led to the crafting of her theory of expanding consciousness. Newman’s theory of expanding consciousness extrapolated ...

It is of paramount importance to first distinguish between gender and sex. Gender is basically that inner feeling of being either male or female, while sex can be defined as the groupings of species of living things in two categories that are often perceived to be genetically or biologically composed. In nearly every social phenomenal, gender differences are seen to exist from the time of birth where gender expectations could in a major way influence girls and boy's treatment. Psychologists say that gender expectations could somewhat commence before birth with the expected baby’s parents, friends and relatives picking ...

Introduction

Cross-cultural decision making skills have been recognized to be increasingly vital to military and defense operations (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). The day-to-day operations of international military forces, in their interaction with different cultures as they work overseas, require intercultural competence to make decisions that are both appropriate and culturally sensitive (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). Cross cultural competency (3C) is accomplished through three unique steps: Cultural self-awareness, suspension of judgments and biases, and the development of skills that fit within domains of a new culture (Selmeski, 2009). Already, educational measures are being implemented by military colleges to promote 3C in military ...

Erving Hoffman (1922-1982) embodied in the sociological theory of Shakespeare's verse:

"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts" (Shakespeare) Socio dramatic approach is a version of symbolic interactionism. E. Hoffman understood social "I" as the property is not an actor, but as the product of theatrical interaction between performers and audience.

Question 1.

Bonnie’s early childhood experience had a negative impact on her perception of social interactions. Children learn social behavior through experience; when the clerks laughed, and the parents felt embarrassed for her inability to exercise self-control, she developed anxiety and fear of social situations. She developed the behavior of avoiding social interactions due to the fear of embarrassing herself. The experience developed a conditioned fear response affecting her ability to interact years later. In her perception, socially-improper behavior results in punishment; in order to avoid punishment, she avoids social interaction altogether. She developed a generalized view that the pattern ...

Factors that explain that violence is a Social Problem

Violence may result from social factors such as unemployment, working conditions that are poor, political differences, financial problems and drugs. According to World Bank (79), the linkage between violence and unemployment involves exclusion and social identity. Employment cannot be entirely viewed as a financial matter. Employment should be viewed as a social matter since it involves aspects of social relations such as a person’s expectations and personal status. Unemployment becomes a factor that results to recruitment of individuals into gangs. According to the World Bank (79), studies indicate that criminal violence is strongly linked to persons with low ...
