Social influences- can be various factors that affects how individuals fit into society and how it can impact a person’s development and behaviour, depending upon their two main agents of socialisation.
Primary agents of socialisation- which is your family who teach you how to behave appropriately within society, by teaching you values, norms and rules that are seen as acceptable within your culture to ensure that you behave acceptably within society. For example, It’s Akram’s family value/norm to follow the Islamic faith and regularly attend the local mosque and recite their prayers as it is a part of their religion. Which is seen as acceptable within society to follow these values as it is seen as the norm for their religious faith.

In order to help an individual, achieve or gain a better quality of life for themselves within society in order to survive. An example of this would be Akram and his family came to Scotland to escape political issues in their own country to have a better life as a family and to have better access to resources and gain better opportunities such as education, housing, jobs and etc.

He then became a victim of racial abuse due to his religious background, and decided to react by not attending school as he could no longer put up with the abuse he was receiving from his peers within school. Which then progressed on to deviant behaviour such as staying out late, fighting and being involved with the police as consequence of his behaviour. Arkam then took on the role as being labelled as a “troublemaker”. And was referred to a children’s panel, because by law under the age of 16 he is covered under certain legislation such as children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 and children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 to ensure that his rights were protected as a child/young person. It was then decided by local authorities e.g. his social worker and the police, to put him in a residential unit to ensure his own protection and others e.g. his mother and siblings to ensure he gets the support he needs with his anger issues. This would have decreased his life chances as society would see Akram as deviant individual because of his behaviour and he is missing out on getting a main stream education to create better opportunities for himself in the
In the memoir Night, the author, Elie Wiesel, uses vividly descriptive diction to establish the theme that one should never let go of their goals. After Elie and his family were forced to leave their home, they were loaded into a box car. Elie recalls that, “After two days of traveling [on the train], [ they] began to be tortured by thirst.” (Wiesel 21). Elie Wiesel’s choice of the word torture, instantly brings to mind a picture of people going through unbearable suffering. His vivid descriptions easily bring to mind instant images of what the text is depicting. Through Elie’s ride in the box car, he never let go of his goal of survival. His vivid description of the box car show you what Elie had to withstand while never letting go of his
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.
According to the “Social Forces” note sheet, social forces are the most influential aspect of society and they are big part of everyone's everyday life The many social forces can all come into play throughout
In order to understand the entirety of a society, we must first understand each part and how it contributes to the stability of the society. According to the functionalist
Functionalists seek consensus and order in society. Dysfunction creates social problems that lead to social change. For instance, functionalists would see monetary political contributions as a way of keeping people connected to the democratic process. This would be in opposition to a conflict theorist who would see this financial contribution as a way for the rich to perpetuate their own

As we learned on page 155 of the textbook, all music, even absolute music, tells a story, either directly or indirectly. Following along the same lines, it makes sense why the structures of certain forms in music align with the plot structures of stories in books. For example, sonata-allegro form is highly analogous to the form of a novel. Both contain an exposition at the beginning where the themes of the music or the novel are presented and the dawn of conflict is first seen. Then, during the development (or rising action), is when we observe the conflict and tension of the story.
Society has a huge impact on how we live our lives everyday. It shapes the way our world works and functions. There are many components that make it work like it does. Some are good and some are bad but either way they each are big influences on the way we live. Racism is a major part of our time. Even though it has died down, and slavery has been abolished it is just as big and important as ever. Racism is an actual thing that happens to shape our society. Some things are not specific actions, but just large ideas. Mob mentality is an idea that gets people to do certain actions that can promote things like racism. These ideas structure our society just as much as the actions. This structure of our society is like one big set of rules. Not that no one has to follow the rules if they don’t want to, but they are followed so most people can fit into what is considered mainstream and normal. The things that society says is not always right but not always wrong. These are examples of influences on society, that can be taken in different directions depending on how they are applied.
Most people are greatly influenced by the society they live in and what it teaches them. Like Germen children during the Holocaust, children are taught and impacted by their society from a young age negative or positive. Being raised on

Functionalism looks at society in aspects of how it contributes to the steadiness/cohesion of the whole society (Anderson, Taylor, & Logio, P. 18). There are many institutions that are looked at that include the economic system, government, education, religion, health care, and family. All of which have different roles and perform different functions to ensure that society operates in a well-ordered manner. An example of this would be how family reproduces, takes care of children, exposes children to culture and heritage, supports other family members, and shares life experiences. Shared values and social stability are keys to this perspective. When this system breaks down it is because people’s needs are not being covered and shared values are deteriorating. When this occurs, it affects all parts of functionalism and the society must achieve
