...Christopher Law May 08 TZ1 English A1 Unseen Paper 1 Poem- Hello Day – Worldwide This poem is about the poet imitating a radio announcement to express his desire for a worldwide Hello Day to break through social barriers, which exist in daily life. The title of the poem is ambiguous and at first sight absurd and provocative. ‘Hello’ has denotations of greeting and connotations of friendliness. The parenthesis help to establish the setting of the poem, which is possibly a radio station, where an announcement is being made, or this could simply be a part of the poets imagination. ‘World Hello Day’ is possibly a day fabricated by the poet. In the first stanza, distance and unfamiliarity is created with the use of the pronoun ‘their’. A hyperbole is used to describe the hostility that exists in the opposing town, as good morning is considered ‘offensive’. This reveals the poets dissatisfaction towards people in ‘their town’. The poet imitates the people in the other town by inserting sophisticated and aggressive diction, which also portrays the tense atmosphere in the other town. The word ‘unsolicited’ not only highlights coldness and dissociation, but also is suggestive of conventions that exist in modern society. The word ‘provocative’ shows the poets feeling of bewilderment. The use of enjambment here is perhaps imitative of the persuasion of businessmen and lawyers who speak with tone. The tone is uncertain in the first stanza as the poet uses the word ‘maybe’, which indicates...

...The main things that shaped my thinking in regards to “person” it would consist of three main structures of thinking my biological make-up, cultural identity and soci-cultural factors. With these three main or morally important structures, is what determines the person’s characteristics, ethical attributes, physical and health status, race and gender, religion, citizen and social economics status, education and etc. With these three categories we focus on what builds that person rather than judging there skin tone. What define me; Jodi-Ann Lawrence as a person how does my biological make-up, cultural identity and soci-cultural factors disguises me from the human race. By using the three main structure mention above; biological make-up, cultural identity and soci-cultural factors you would get to know the foundation that makes up the person of Jodi-Ann Lawrence; the norm of society would look at me as a “nigger”(black) based on my skin complexion, rather than judge me on the three structures that up a person . The Biological Make-up When you look at me the first thing you see my skin color, black, my nappy think hair, a thick woman (fat), however, this doesn’t define me. There are many layers to me. I am the first born child, to my mother and last born to my father; as well as the only girl and the only child between my parents. On the other hand, I have two half-brothers one older than the other younger. According to American Dietary and Nutrition Association, I’m considered...

...Benda Brown SOCI 4080 January 17, 2013 When ask what are some of the things you could say that stuck with you as a child growing up in the house with your parents? I would probably say with values, morals and happiness along with virtue. Society use morals and values to interact with each day. Morals instruct people to appropriately interact each other, we practice morals and values by certain beliefs within our cultural teachings and live by and the values and morals. Virtue is the excellence that gives to the practice of values moral beliefs. Examples say excuse me if I accidentally bump into a person, do not steal from people, respect older people, keep my voice low when in public, etc.…. People is judged by their moral and value characteristics of which they have been taught. For example I was taught it is not polite to interrupt your parents or any adult while they are talking, at the same time it was ok for the, parent and adult to interrupt the child talking. This rule has followed me, and as I got older I understood why I was taught this rule, why my parents and adults did the opposite. It would have to say it goes with the old phrase “do as I say, not as I do”. Two objections are commonly made to receiving the golden rule as the fundamental principle of morality ( Donagan, A. pg., 58). First, it excludes the possibility that it may be right to do anything to another which you hate to have done to you (Donagan, A. pg., 58). Yet Kant pointed out, the...

...Community Observation Paper (Soup Kitchen) Empowering the Homeless P### F##### Soci. 200-B09 Empowering the homeless Life is an expedition barred by obstacles that one must overcome to achieve personal goals and achievements. In doing so, he interacts with people of different ethnicities, cultures and social plights. His experience brings him to opposing extremes that mould and transform his primary targets to accommodate social responsibilities and seek to improve plights of various populations that promote mutual interactions beyond any divisions, segregations, non-recognition or neglect. A visit to a special school for physically and mentally challenged as well as orphaned children of these challenges sparked a desire to strife for those that cannot attend to their basic needs in bid to build an environment conducive for everyone. Observations done during the experience The activity commenced in the morning and involved walking about a mile to an soup kitchen. Such a trek suits a sunny morning but the day begun with rain that would not cease even at 1:00 Pm, two hours late of the scheduled time. I would have taken a car but the decision to walk stemmed from the fact that I was on a charitable visit and had swore to walk and think...

...This article deals with the issue of declining marriage rates in the United States. This analysis hopes to use a sociological perspective to explain the phenomenon. To understand the reason for declining marriage rates, it is important to understand the functions of marriage. Marriage is the first step to forming a family. Traditional functionalists would argue that the family, through marriage, serves as a basis for regulated sexual activity, economic cooperation, reproduction, socialization and emotional support (Brym & Lie, 2007) As such, a reason for the drop in marriage rates could be the fact that people no longer find that marriage fulfils this purpose. Due to the entry of women in the workforce, they are now self-sufficient and no longer rely on men for economic support. Additionally, there are plenty of other institutions available that can serve the roles that were once exclusive to the family. Emotional support can be found in religious institutions and helplines. Clubs and bars serve as places where socializations take place. Ergo, due to the emergence of various institutions that now provide services that were the cornerstones of the family, it has caused for marriage to be " no longer a necessity” in the US. Another possible reason for the declining marriage rates could be the worry that the marriage will not work out. USA has the largest divorce rate in the world, with 4.95 per 1000 people (Nationmaster.com). This may have an adverse effect...

...Name two ways in which a woman’s household roles impact her work outside the home. I love this topic, because it’s something that I complain about daily and I feel is a total disregard or women and how hard we work in society. When a woman works outside the home she has double the job. She has to come home nightly, after being exhausted and is expected to maintain the domestic duties such as; cleaning, cooking, laundry, scrubbing bathrooms, making sure the children are doing well in school, making sure the family is happy and healthy and still maintaining all of that with a smile? Ridiculous! Name two ways in which a woman’s household roles impact her work outside the home. One of the problems with women’s household roles for example would be pregnancy. Attitude is typically that all halts and the woman goes home to rear her child; thus a setback most of the time. This is due to the traditional beliefs. Even the younger generation go towards the woman staying home to take care of the children. Although the younger generation doesn’t come right out and classify women to be in the role indefinitely, more often than not the female leaves her job either temporarily or permanently to attend to the children. (Gimenez; “Marx revisited”, p.21; Michael Bittman and Jocelyn Pixley, The Double Life of the Family. Myth, Hope and Experience, Allen and Unwin, Sydney, 1997, p.179) Another way in which a woman’s household roles impact her work outside of the home is the process of hiring...

...In sociology, the iron cage is a term coined by Max Weber for the increased rationalization inherent in social life, particularly in Western capitalist societies. The "iron cage" thus traps individuals in systems based purely on teleological efficiency, rational calculation and control. Weber also described the bureaucratization of social order as "the polar night of icy darkness".[1] The original German term is stahlhartes Gehäuse; this was translated into "iron cage", an expression made familiar to English language speakers by Talcott Parsons in his 1930 translation of Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.[2] This translation has recently been questioned by certain sociologists and interpreted instead as the "shell as hard as steel".[2][3] Weber wrote: “ | In Baxter’s view the care for external goods should only lie on the shoulders of the 'saint like a light cloak, which can be thrown aside at any moment.' But fate decreed that the cloak should become an iron cage."[4] | ” | Weber became concerned with social actions and the subjective meaning that humans attach to their actions and interaction within specific social contexts. He also believed in idealism, which is the belief that we only know things because of the meanings that we apply to them. This led to his interest in power and authority in terms of bureaucracy and rationalization. Rationalization and bureaucracy[edit] Weber states, “the course of development involves… the bringing in of calculation...

...SOCI 1001C To the editor of The Globe and Mail, I am writing to you with regards to an article in your newspaper which I came across recently, written by Margaret Wente and titled Inside the Entitlement Generation. It seems evident that Wente is arguing that the time frame between childhood and adulthood is expanding, and that today’s generation of young people tend to be less motivated in their behaviour, values, and aspirations. I strongly agree with everything that Wente has proposed in her article, and believe that this is an issue that needs to be dealt with. Wente believes that young people in my generation are child-like; they have unrealistic expectations, are less mature, and are constantly being sheltered. None of these qualities are attributes of a successful adulthood. Sociologist George Mead said that one’s sense of self grows and changes to suit the environment. Similarly, sociologist Charles Cooley posits that our own identity is largely a result of the influences of others. The current generation of youth has been poorly raised - not with regards to physical conditions, but rather that parents exert an ever-increasing amount of possession over their children, thereby impeding the child’s ability to find their own identity. When children are so intensely monitored it prevents them from maturing. Mead blames our culture of dependence, the over-reaching influence of parents, and the ease of modern university courses for the increased time most youth spend...

...Sociological Theory SOCI 350 Student Learning Activity 2 1. Compose a brief essay (i.e., three or four well-developed paragraphs) in which you introduce Marx’s concept of human nature. Conclude with (another two or three paragraphs) commentary on how that concept is central to Marx’s critique of capitalism. Marx’s introduces human nature basically how humans adapt to various things to survive. There are many questions how people react when being alienated in the work place. Either A. The worker doesn’t accept being alienated, or B. The worker accepts alienation due to the fact they are content on meeting their living standards outside of the work place, so they suck it up and deal with the alienation. However, it is in human nature for...

...1. How do systemic factors affect personal behaviors such as teen pregnancy and substance abuse? Discuss specific systemic factors that are related to disparities in rates of teen pregnancy; also discuss systemic factors related to substance use. Use examples from at least three related chapters/course readings in your response. You may also use data from the PowerPoint slides posted on Blackboard. Structure creates culture. William Julius Wilson points out this by stating that “structure trumps culture” in his book, More Than Just Race. In this quotation, he implies that systemic factors (“structure”) affect personal behaviors (“culture”). Systemic factors refer to the factors that emerge from the social structure and give impact on the social constituents of structure. Because the social constituents should live within the social structure, they obviously are influenced by the systemic factors. Thus, systemic factors have an underlying linkage with personal behaviors. Systemic factors, such as education, poverty, and economic change, strongly influence on an individual’s behaviors such as teen pregnancy and substance abuse. Education, poverty, and economic changes are systemic factors that have created major shifts in general behaviors of teen pregnancy. According to the article “After the Sexual Revolution,” some factors contribute to these shifts: success of abstinent education, positive effect of comprehensive sex education cultural backlash against sexual revolution...

...APPUNTI DIRITTO COMMERCIALE Contenuti del diritto commerciale Il diritto commerciale fa parte del diritto privato ed è contenuto nel libro V° del codice civile. Diritto commerciale che nasce dal commercio e dalla sua evoluzione storica, si sostanzia nell’insieme delle regole che meglio disciplinano le attività commerciali private. Diritto che è spesso identificato nel “diritto del mercato” in quanto relativo all’insieme delle regole di domanda ed offerta, mercato che è poi il luogo in cui si realizzano gli scambi tra i privati, scambi regolati dal diritto commerciale. Tali regole hanno lo scopo unico di rendere certe le situazioni di fatto, promuovere e rendere efficienti gli scambi, tutelare il credito ecc. è chiaro, quindi, che il diritto commerciale non tutela i singoli interessi dei privati ma l’interesse del mercato in sé. Il diritto commerciale nasce con i comuni e le corporazioni dei commercianti, i quali, creano le norme ed anche i propri giudici (tribunali del commercio). Nel 1865 in tutti i paesi di civil law si attua una duplicazione codicistica, da una parte troviamo il codice civile e dall’altra il codice del commercio che spesso disciplinano stesse situazioni ma in modo diverso a seconda dei soggetti coinvolti. Nascono anche nuovi istituti quali la cambiale, la commenda (poi soc. accomandita), l’attività bancaria, del credito e l’assicurazione ecc. Queste regole “corporative”, con la nascita degli stati, diverranno regole dell’ordinamento. Con il nostro codice...
