| ARTICLES RELATED TO society | | | |  society: 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.
These include:
the idea of decline or degeneration, or, in religious terms, the fall from an original state of grace, connected with theology;
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;
Marx's historical materialism
Evolutionary theories (how one social form evolves into another), including social darwinis ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Social - Some different definitions In the absence of agreement about its meaning, the term "social" is used in many different senses, referring among other things to:
attitudes, orientations or behaviours which take the interests, intentions or needs of other people into account (in contrast to anti-social behaviour);
common characteristics of people or descriptions of collectivities (social facts);
relations between people (social relations) generally, or particular associations among people;
interactions between people (social action) ...

| | | | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Social relation - Types of social relations In broad terms, we can distinguish six basic levels of human awareness:
sub-conscious awareness (studied by e.g. Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Milton Erickson).
conscious subjective awareness (dissociated, focusing inward on the inner world, or expressing an inner state outwards) (studied e.g. in phenomenology and general psychology).
intersubjective awareness (an awareness which occurs in association with other people and is internal to that association) (studied e.g. in social psychology and sociology).

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Sociolinguistics - Sociolinguistic differences according to gender
Sociolinguistics - Minimal responses.
One of the ways in which the communicative competence of men and women differ is in their use of minimal responses, i.e., paralinguistic features such as ‘mhm’ and ‘yeah’, which is behaviour associated with collaborative language use. Men, on the other hand, generally use them less frequently and where they do, it is usually to show agreement, as Zimmerman and West’s (1977) study of turn-taking i ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Social constructionism - Degrees of social construction Though social constructionism contains a diverse array of theories and beliefs, it can generally be divided into two camps: Weak social constructionism and strong social constructionism. The two differ mainly in degree, where weak social constructionists tend to see some underlying objective factual elements to reality, and strong social constructionists see everything as, in some way, a social construction. This is not to say that strong social constructionists (or weak social constructionists, for that matter) necessarily see the world as ...

| | | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Role - Role in functionalist and consensus theory The functionalist approach, which is largely borrowed from anthropology, sees a "role" as the set of expectations that society places on an individual. By unspoken consensus, certain behaviours are deemed "appropriate" and others "inappropriate". For example, it is appropriate for a doctor to dress fairly conservatively, ask a series of personal questions about one's health, touch one in ways that would normally be forbidden, write prescriptions, and show more concern for the personal wellbeing of hi ...

| | | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Teachings of Opus Dei - Lay spirituality in ordinary life One of the distinctive features of Opus Dei is it's stress of lay spirituality - a spiritual life for lay people living an everyday life and doing ordinary work. Escriva takes decided position against the concept of having an interior spiritual life and a separate "not spiritual" professional, social, and family life. According to Opus Dei, Opus Dei's spirituality commits lay people to sanctify themselves in the same place where they were before they met Opus Dei a ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Ummo - History Mike Dash writes that the Ummo affair began on February 6, 1966, in Madrid. On that day, Jordan Pena reported a close encounter of the first kind when he saw "an enormous circular object with three legs and, on its underside, a curious symbol: three vertical lines joined by a horizontal bar. The two exterior lines curved outward at the edges, which made the pictogram resemble the alchemical sign for ...

| | | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Tribalism - Tribalism and evolution Tribalism has a very adaptive effect in human evolution. Humans are social animals, and ill-equipped to live on their own. Tribalism and ethnocentrism help to keep individuals committed to the group, even when personal relations may fray. This keeps individuals from wandering off. Thus, ethnocentric individuals would have a higher survival rate -- or at least, with their higher commitment to the group, more opportunities to breed.
In larger, agriculture societies, however, this can become maladaptive. Nations and empires force tribes ...

Human - Anatomy and physiology.
Main articles: Human anatomy, Human physical appearance, and Human height
Human body types varies substantially, with many individuals diverging significantly from the mean height and weight. Some of this variation is caused by locality and historical factors. Although body size is largely determined by genes, it is also significantly influenced by diet and exercise. The mean height of a North American adult female is 162 ce ...

| | | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Western culture - Description The concept of Western culture is generally linked to the classical definition of Western world. In this definition, Western culture is the set of literary, scientific, musical, philosophical and other traditions from Western Europe and countries whose history is strongly marked by Western European immigration or settlement. Much of this set of traditions is collected in the Western canon.
One could argue about the question if South Africa is a Western or Westernised country. Focusing on people, it is clear that part of the South Afri ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Allan Bloom - Philosophy Allan Bloom’s writings can be divided into two basic categories: scholarly (e.g. Plato's Republic) and popular political comment (e.g. Closing of the American Mind). On the surface, this is a valid distinction, yet closer examinations of Bloom’s works reveal a direct connection between the two types, which reflect his view of philosophy and the role of the philosopher in political life.
