For this paper on social analysis of a formal organization, I will be speaking about the first official job I ever had. The first place to hire me was UPS. Not the little store, but the actually factory. It was my very first working experience, the summer of graduating High School. Before applying for the job I didn't know too much about UPS. All I knew was that they were a shipping company and were famous for their brown trucks. During the application process, we were taken on a tour of the factory. In order to the factory to move smoothly there had to be a Bureaucracy approach. The factory has many moving parts, starting with the Unloaders who unload boxes from the trucks coming in from across the U.S. Those boxes would then be put on a conveyor belt that lead to the sort ill.

The social organization was normative. The ideal standard or model, or being based on what is considered to be the normal or the correct way of doing something. Your focus was to be on your work at all times, but didn't mind if you talked while completing the job. When the full time managers were around the environment changed to more of a Utilitarianism social environment. Everyone had to keep quiet and focus on your work. When he was around everyone made sure to follow all the rules for handling packages. While working there I witnessed a huge battle between my full time manager and a unloader. During the summer time the factory would be very hot and so sometimes tempers would rise. Before leaving work that day, the word was the employee had been fired and events like this was these were the

The theory of Social Darwinism is that humans and animals compete with each other in a struggle to survive. An example is when a cat and a mouse are together, it’s obvious the cat will kill the mouse as the term ”fittest” refers to the cat. Although a lot of people believe that Charles Darwin came up with the phrase “Survival of the fittest”, a sociologist, Herbert Spencer actually was the creator of the phrase. Charles Darwin came up with Social Darwinism, hence the name.

    The social norm I chose to violate was scaring others at a haunted house; while many people were expecting to be scared, they were not expecting to be scared by somebody that they saw standing in line next to them. This occurred Tuesday the 20th of October around the hours of 2030 and 2100 at the Frightmare Compound with some friends and strangers that were around. I walked around with my group scaring them at moments just before the actors scared them. I also chose to scare a few other people that I did not know that were in other groups which may have not been the best choice as explained later on. I chose to violate the norm which was not to scare others because it is simply not a nice thing to do as my parents brought me up in a way to

I chose to observe the softball team at Rollins College that I am a part of. Although going to practice, playing in games, and going to dinner together are seemingly mundane and habitual tasks, is there a deeper meaning behind the behaviors and conversations that take place throughout these encounters? Being a member of a team means maintaining certain behaviors, relying on others, and most importantly being controlled by a coach or leader. Although all of the members probably think we are in control, there is a different power dynamic at play.

  • Social Facts Case Study

    The two cases presented to us, bring to light the concept of social facts-ways of acting, thinking or feeling that are external to individuals and have their own reality outside the lives and perceptions of individual people. These social facts are intangible and exercise a coercive power over individuals, which is often not recognized by individuals as they generally comply with social facts, in the belief that they are acting out of their own will. According to Emile Durkheim, suicide was such a social fact which could only be explained by other social facts, thereby making it sociological in nature. The first case talks about a 22-year-old- first year analyst (Sarvshreshth Gupta) at the Goldman Sachs office, who, overwhelmed by the all-nighters

  • Example Of Accountability Research Paper

    343 Words  | 2 Pages

    In order to be accountable one must be willing to take ownership of a result regardless of the outcome. In my opinion this can go beyond the direct effect of an outcome, accountability must be taken for indirect effects as well. Therefore when a decision is being a made, a person attempting to be truly accountable will weigh all possible outcomes of their decision to determine its potential effects on all related parties. In my opinion the strongest leaders are those that choose to accept accountability for not only their actions, but the actions of those that they are responsible for. If I were to tell someone something confidential, my assumption would be that it stays between the privileged parties.
