| | |  social relations: Encyclopedia II - Social change - TheoriesSome social change is almost always occurring, but many different theories have been mooted to explain significant social changes in history.

the idea of cyclical change, a pattern of subsequent and recurring phases of growth and decline, and the social cycles;
the idea of continuous social progress;

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Commodity - Marxian usage
Commodity - General.
In classical political economy and especially Karl Marx's critique of political economy, a commodity is simply any good or service offered as a product for sale on the market. Some items are also seen as being treated as if they were commodities, e.g. human labour or labor-power, works of art and natural resources, even though they may not be produced specifically fo ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia - Human Humans or human beings define themselves in biological, social, and spiritual terms. Biologically, humans are classified as the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man" or "thinking man"): a bipedal primate of the superfamily Hominoidea, together with the other apes: chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons.
Humans have an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects and a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, speech, language, and ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia - Feminism Feminism is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women, especially in terms of their social, political, and economic situation. As a social movement, feminism largely focuses on limiting or eradicating gender inequality and promoting women's rights, interests, and issues in society.
Within academia, some feminists focus on documenting gender inequalities that oppress women and on changes in the social position and representati ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Objective approach - Politics In decisions affecting large numbers of people (such as in politics) ignoring relevant evidence or alternative interpretations could lead to policies which, although perhaps well-intentioned, have the opposite effect of what was really intended.
In this context, it is often argued that although democracy might hamper swift, decisive action, it is nevertheless the best guarantee that all relevant facts and interpretations are included in the decision-making process, result ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Interaction - Chemistry and medicine In medicine, most medications can be safely used with other medicines but particular combinations of medicines need to be monitored for interactions, often by the pharmacist. In molecular biology, the knowlege on gene/protein interaction among themselves and with their metabolites is referred to as molecular pathways.
Interactions between medications fall generally into one of two main categories; pharmacodynamic (involving the actions of the two interacting drugs), and pharmacokinetic (involving the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Labor theory of value - The theory explained Marxian political economy uses the concept of "socially necessary abstract labor-time" to modify the Ricardian LTV. To some, this modification is profound enough to support the claim that Marx's theory is not, after all, a labor theory of price of the Ricardian sort, but a new type of value theory.
This aspect of value as a social process, unexamined by Marx's predecessors in classical political economy, cannot be reduced to magnitudes.
The phrase "socially necessary", far from being an arbitrary adjunct to the theory (as charg ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Mode of production - The modes of production in history In a broad outline, Marx recognized seven distinct epochs of human history, each corresponding to a particular mode of production:
Primitive communism. Human society organised in traditional tribe structures, typified by shared production and consumption of the entire social product. As no permanent surplus product is produced, there is also no possibility of a ruling class coming into existence. As this mode of production lacks differentiation into classes, it is said to be classless. Paleolithic and neolithic tools, pre- and e ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Law of value - Criticism Traditionally, criticism of Marx's law of value has been of three kinds:
conceptual
logical
empirical
The conceptual criticism concerns the concept of value itself. For Marx, value was an objective social characteristic of labour-products, exchanged in an economic community, given the physical reality that products took a definite amount of society's labour-time to produce. Critics however argue that economic value is something purely subjective, determined by personal preferences and ma ...

| | | | social relations: Encyclopedia II - Productive forces - Productive force determinism According to some Marxist and liberal interpretations, influenced by modernism, social engineering and technocracy, a productive force determinism operates in human history (for examples see e.g. Joseph V. Stalin's and Gerald A. Cohen's work). According to this view, the fundamental cause of social change is technical change, and changes in the means of production linearly cause changes in relations of production.
It is doubtful however whether this view was held by Marx himself, who saw social change in history as emerging essentiall ...

financialisation (the extraordinarily strong growth of the global financial markets. This is trade in financial claims to current and future income. As a corollary, the proportion of national income which consists of interest income and rentier income increases.
Modern information technology makes it possible to engage in very complex investment projects and shift funds extremely quickly from one placement to another in space and time. This increases the rotation sp ...
