..."Relationships 2.0: Dating and Relating in the Internet Age," Does communication via social networking sites, such as Facebook, negatively affect the ability of young people to socialize and to develop and maintain healthy relationships? I think that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and all other social media negatively affect the ability of young adults and teenagers. I think that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and all other social media negatively affect the ability of young adults and teenagers. Young adults and teenagers are very addicted to social media; everything that they do, they do it via social media. I don’t think that young adults and teenagers can have and develop healthy relationships while having a social media account. For example, the other day I was watching the news and the news anchors reported that a teenage boy was shot and killed over a Facebook message. I have seen videos on social media websites where young people meet up to fight because of messages that were posted on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I always think to myself that this is not healthy for these young people because they are ending up in jail, dead, or in a hospital. I think that they shouldn’t let young adults and teenagers have social media accounts. How can teenagers and young adults grow up to be successful and professional if all they do is going on social media? Teenagers and young adults get bullied via social media and sometimes they end up committing suicide...

...QUALITY OF Online Social Relationships ONLINE RELATIONSHIPS ARE LESS VALUABLE THAN OFFLINE ONES. INDEED, THEIR NET BENEFIT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THEY SUPPLEMENT OR SUBSTITUTE FOR OFFLINE SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. { By Jonathon N. Cummings, Brian Butler, and Robert Kraut} eople use the Internet intensely tor interpersonal commimication, sending und receiving email, contacting friends and family via instant messaging services, visiting chat rooms, or subscribing to distribution lists, among other activities. The evidence is clear that interpersonal communication is an important use of the Internet, if not its most important use. For example, both selt-report surveys 112] and computer monitoring studies [5] indicate that email is the most popular online application. Claims regarding the Internets usefulness for developing social relationships, however, remain controversial. Both personal testimonials (for example, []()]) and systematically collected data document the deep and meaningful social relationships people can cultivate online (for example, |8]). This evidence, however, conflicts with data comparing the value that people place on their online relationships with offline relationships and with data comparing social relationships among heavy and light Internet users. For example. Parks and Roberts [9] surveyed users of multiplayer environments called MOOs. Ninety-three percent of the users had made friends online, but when asked to compare their ...

...Relationships with robots are ramping up; relationships with people are ramping down (19). Once upon a time, people had real-life conversations and real relationships. These days we either talk by texting, e-mails, or social media and we are even using the internet to find lovers. People are forgetting how to talk and have sincere relationships because technology is shaping how we falsely feel about others and ourselves. After reading Sherry Turkle’s book, Alone Together, I have become more aware of people and myself always being connected. Honestly, it frightens me. How would people behave without their cell phones or social media? Literally insane. People do not know how to function around other people unless they are connected to something. Why are we letting ourselves and our...

...<Name> Brandi McCrary <Course> UNV 104 <Date> March 20, 2016 <Instructor> Megan Castles Social Media and the Affects it has on Relationships Welcome to the digital age. Today’s society is constantly logged onto social media sites such as Facebook, twitter or Instagram. It is often over looked how much influence those sites have. They are used regularly throughout people lives, it has practically become part of their routine. Social media keeps people in contact and updated on their relations with family members and other people in their lives. With this contact, many forms of relationships are developed. Social media can affect relationships with friends, family as well as the relationships people have with their own self. Friends come and go, that is a simple fact of life. While social media has made it easier to stay connected, it has also played a role in tearing friends apart. Social media gives users a sense of belonging, allowing them to stay connected with friends during daily life activities and special occasions. Even though they may not be in the same city or state, giving them the chance to keep old friends and make new ones as well (Baron & Gomez, 2013, p279). This allows one to seek advice and vent to their friends when they are in need of help or just need to release some pent up stress. Venting on social media can sometimes be a bad idea, especially if it is posted publically. A public post can be read by all and those who do...

...CHAPTER 11: The Development of Social Relationships 4/16/14 1. How did Bowlby and Ainsworth characterize affectional bonds, attachments, and internal working models? Bowlby and Ainsworth distinguished between an affectional bond and an attachment, which involves feelings of security and having a safe base. An attachment is deduced from the existence of attachment behaviors. Once established, an attachment relationship becomes the basis of an internal working model that the child applies to future interactions with the attachment figure and with others. 2. What factors influence the parent’s bond to the child? For parents to form a strong bond to their infant, what is most crucial is not immediate contact at birth but the development and repetition of mutually reinforcing and interlocking attachment behaviors. 3. How does the child’s attachment to the parent change across infancy, early childhood, and middle childhood? Beginning around 6 months of age, which signals the presence of a clear attachment. Attachment behaviors become less visible during the preschool years, except when the child is stressed. School-aged children exhibit less safe behaviors than infants and preschoolers do, but extended separations can still be stressful. 4. What are the characteristics of parent-child relationships in adolescence? The child’s basic attachment to the parents remains strong in adolescence, despite an increase in parent-child conflict, the greater independence of the...

...NAME; TAWANDA COURSE; INDUSTRIAL SOCIOLOGY QUESTION; DESCRIBE THE CHANGES IN SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK UNDER DIFFERENT MODES OF PRODUCTION. Social relationships at work have been changing over time under different modes of production. However, the definition of work has been a contested area due to factors like the differentiation and work and labour, work and non-work and work as employment among other factors. Even though Arendt (1958) defines work as activity undertaken with our hands which gives objectivity to the world. Social relations have been changing to meet the demands of the type of mode of production. In broad outline, Marxist theory recognises several distinctive modes of production characteristic of different epochs in human history. Primitive communism is the first mode of production in the Marxist theory. This is described as a traditional type of cooperation which first appeared about two million years ago. During this period relations of production were based on collective ownership of the means of production by individual communes. They used extremely backward productive forces and primitive forces of labour which can also be called collective labour thus social relationships at work were characterised by collective labour. Due to these characteristics there was economic equality among the primitive people and the absence of exploitation of man by other man. These people were independent with...

...Assess different Marxist views of the relationship between crime and social class. Marxist theorists suggest that the workings of society can be explained by the concept of exploitation – the ruling class exploit the working class. This is the fundamental point by which Chambliss pointed to explore the relationship between class and crime. Traditional Marxists imply that the judiciary system is beneficial to the ruling class only. This dominant ideology disseminates through agencies such as, education, media, and religion which is forced onto individuals, this process is known as hegemony. The capitalistic society is based upon consumers and competition therefore crime can be seen as an inevitable outcome of these values which stress looking after one self at the expense of others. In other words, those maintaining the capitalistic society maximize the benefit of the criminal judiciary system. If we look at the traits of the concept of capitalism, it is likely that the upper classes are able to commit such white collar crimes such as fraud and theft without any comeuppance. Marxists theorists provide explanations how crime is dealt within society, in order to maintain the status quo. Capitalism inevitably plays a large role in this, as they divert attention of the masses away from the causes of crime and the capitalist controlled judiciary system aids capitalist society play on this, as society views young working class white/black males as criminal/deviant groups....

...Assess different Marxist views of the relationship between crime and social class Marxism is a structural theory and says we live in a capitalist society which is divided into 2 classes, the ruling class who own the means of production and the working class who are exploited by the RC in order to create profit. There are 3 types of Marxism, traditional Marxists, neo-Marxists and new left realists, each of these believe that the capitalists society is partly to blame to crime but different views as to why and how and to what extent. I will look at the link between what they say about class and crime. According to traditional Marxists such as Chamblis and Pearce, everyone commits crime but it is only the working class that gets caught. Traditional Marxists argue that the working class are over represented in crime statistics because of selective policing. The police choose to pursue working class street crimes rather than trying to catch corporate or white collar crimes that are usually committed by ruling or middle classes. As these ruling class crimes are not caught, the working class appear to be more criminal than other social groups. The neo-Marxist Box estimated while in one year 20,000 people were murdered, 14000 died in industrial accidents and 30,000 died as a result of unsafe consumer products. While the death toll for these corporate crimes is much higher than that of street crime, the number of convictions for corporate crime was much lower so the working class street...

...Social Media and Relationship Imagine that you live in the past. In those days, you would live with barely any electricity in your house. You need couple days to travel from one place to the other places before technology was ever invented. Moreover, you have to go to some places to make a call because there were only a few places that have telephone. Add to that, either you wanted to send or receive letters to someone you love, you have to wait several days for the postman to come to your house. Isn’t it very upsetting to remember? What caused life at that time was so sad? The most reasonable explanation is in the past technology has not fully developed. However, it was happening in the past. In today’s society, we live in a globalized world. We are provided with a bunch of technology, such as computer, smart phones, Internet, and others. Because of the development of the technology, these days we do not have to feel the sadness and desperation people felt at that time. Moreover, the revolution in technology has become an important part in people’s life. One important part from the Internet is social media. It becomes the unifier to more than millions people across the world. Moreover, social media enables people to engage in completely new and different ways. Even though it involves a ‘brand new’ method of communicating, people tend to use it. Social media becomes a simple form of communication to interact with someone they know or a complete stranger. It is so exciting...
