Examples Of Normative History-Graded Influence

This work of art is from the Greek, Hellenistic period, c. 270- 250 B.C.E. This fifteen inch marble bust corresponds to a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty according to the typical facial features of the ruling family at that time. The Ptolemaic dynasty occurred when there was a succession of Macedonian Greeks over Egypt from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. until the annexation of Egypt by Rome and the suicide of Cleopatra VII in 30 B.C. Therefore, this head was most likely created to symbolize a Ptolemaic Queen. Its subject matter, the themes or ideas in a work of art distinct from its form, is not evident

In the reading The Erosion of Classic Norms by Renato Rosaldo, the author attempts to persuade his readers to recognize that “cultures are learned, not genetically encoded”(2). We are born without a culture and as a social animal we acquire a set of beliefs, values and assumptions as a member of a society, influenced by the immediate surrounding. This set of beliefs, values and assumptions that we adopt refers to culture. For culture is a powerful tool for human survival, Rosaldo highlights the importance of global dexterity for a successful cross-cultural understanding. “Because the range of human possibilities is so great, one cannot predict cultural patterns from one case to the next, except to say that they will not match.

Both normative and nonnormative influences and nature and nurture influences both shed light on human development over childhood and adolescence. The nature and nurture debate refers to whether particular aspects of development are a result of inherited characteristics (nature) or obtained characteristics (nurture). The answer to what characteristics were obtained by which source is a difficult task as there is still much to learn about the way genetic markers work and how their patterning influence organisms. Instead nature and nurture should be looked at as a intricate ecology (Claiborne, Drewery, Paki, & Peters, 2014). This is where characteristics are not considered to have only a single source but can linked to a contribution of our genetic

Driving in a car with a same-age passenger, and feeling more susceptible to distractions. Allowing gruesome traditions because you fear the consequences of showing your ambivalence towards it. Bullying an innocent child for his facial deformity since all of your “friends” do too. All of the foregoing instances reflect what’s known as social influence. Social influence at its core is the process by which an individual’s attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors, are altered by others.

we saw a crazy spiral when Abigail started to conceal information about the night's activities and resorted to an extreme form of behaviour by killing others. This play sheds light on how state and dominant cultural values can even sweep those who think otherwise. I mean if I am thinking logically and have moderate view, that won't matter if I find myself in such situation where people put their allegations for let’s say apostasy or make false charges, fake FIRs and if the media blows it out of proportion without investigation like it happens in this part of the world, there is just no way to escape from that vicious cycle (Miller, 1953). Nobody is safe if the state laws and the prevailing order is messed up. Proctor was worried of his reputation

No, the ending of the book Hush, was not satisfying to me. I think this because how they ended the book was awful. What happened was, the main character Evie went to the hospital to see her father who had almost killed himself. The father and daughter were once again, starting to love each other. Then, Evie asks her father if she could tell him the story of how he became a cop. Then he starts off on how he met Officer Denis and Officer Randall. I thought this ending was very bad because, I feel the author could of ended the book better. Now, how I would change the ending of my book is I would have Evie tell her family that she is on the track team and her going to a Track championship and winning it. Then having the family go back to their

From 1848 to 1891, the government of the United States and its army were tasked to secure the nation’s expansion into newly acquired territories west of the Mississippi River. Even during the Civil War years, the western frontier and those citizens intending to settle those areas compelled attention and protection from the government and the army. Yet, the United States government never clearly formulated a doctrine for handling the population already living in the new territories, the American Indian tribes. A cohesive doctrine issued by the Government to manage Western expansion and Indian affairs, along with a professional, well-trained, unified army would have avoided the worst violence of the Indian wars.

The traditions and social norms in today’s society are still being challenged in many different ways. Those such as religion and sex. Although these are the same from which we’ve read about in the text, they are both being challenged in different ways than the 1960’s. Instead of religion stating that kings rule from the will of God, the will of God, or anything resembling religion, is being taken out of the political systems and schools. Instead of the role of women in any given household being challenged, we’re challenging the right of any male or female to claim the sexual preference of heterosexuality. The twist is that some people (Christians) go around killing those that don’t conform to their standards of sexuality and justify their actions

Dr. V. Chandra-Mouli, a leading World Health Organization (W.H.O) expert and representative, in a video posted on You Tube (2015) explained the numerous challenges towards educating the youth on how to achieve a happy sexual and reproductive life. Martinez, (2009) was of a similar opinion as Dr. V. Chandra-Mouli that the teenage sexual life needs to be enjoyed; however as it is, too much focus is paid on how to educate the youths about reproduction, sex or how to avoid problems. Schalet et al. (2014) identified that societal norms and values were to blame for not creating a platform for the youth to be educated on how to enjoy their sexual life.

While thinking about examples of cis- and hetero- normativity in my life I thought about my old high school and how there were many different examples I could think of. An example of cisnormativity is how when we had gym classes they had separate locker rooms and classes for girls and boys and they would automatically assign a person based on the sex on their school forms instead of based on how they actually identify. Also, the bathrooms at my high school were not gender neutral and were not very trans-friendly. Another example of cis- and hetero- normativity is the health classes at my high school. When we covered the sexual education units in health they would only focus on heterosexual sex and on the basic anatomy of cisgender males and

The levels of new admissions and arrivals to the country could be expanded in each category. This would increase the number of available visas and cut back on some of the backlogged lines and reduce waiting times. Until we address these predetermined levels there will be no stopping steady flow of illegal immigrants coming to this country. On average residents waiting to become a naturalized citizen will spend an average of seven to 10 years as and LPR. Again worth noting is most of these people are already here in the United States waiting for a status

The postmodern attitude greatly differs from the iconic and traditional values of the past. This change in attitude is a natural evolution caused by the a shift in worldviews. Thus, the values and belief systems of the 1970’s placed emphasis on optimism and censorship. Whereas, the postmodern mentality is characterized by pessimism and cynicism. This paradigm shift in values over time is directly a result of advancements in technology. Through the use of media such as television and social networks, the modern world has ushered in an era of free information exchange and high-speed communication. Progress, however, is a double-edged sword; on one hand, the globe has become well-connected, but on the other hand, anonymity allows negativity and hostility to run rampant. Therefore, increased exposure to technology in the postmodern world has lead to a society with a generally negative outlook on life. The difference between image #1 and image #2 visually represents the shift in attitude from positive to negative, from

Kevin Beauge 1 Essay Take Home Exam Sociology 101 Spring 2015 1. Discuss how values and norms with a particular society or community might be contradictory (conflicting, different).

The social norm my partner and I violated was sitting on the floor and eating with food on a chair instead of a table. While the argument could potentially be made for either a descriptive or injunctive norm, the behavior we engaged in is best considered as a descriptive norm. The violated norm is not based on perceptions of what people typically approve or disapprove of, but on the perceptions of how people actually behave in certain situations, such as their approach to eating in a dining hall (Wilson, 2017, March. 14). In this case, the motive of the descriptive norm is to convey normative behavior in a given situation. Although sitting on the floor in a dining hall is not considered to be morally or legally wrong, it could be argued that the violated norm is an injunctive norm

In society, we have people follow the social norms of social control. Social control is the process of learning behaviors to be a part of society. While formal social control is built upon laws, and society following those laws and practices. Informal social controls are usually built upon personal interactions with a person, leading to a person caring about the opinions of others. The opinions of others in society is usually expressions and behaviors demonstrated in the form of ridicule, gossip, praise, reprimands criticisms, ostracism, and verbal rationalization (Vago, 2017, p.195-196).
