627 Words3 Pages

You see tension in the different types of teenagers(different lifestyles) interacting with eachother. Clarie and Bender(John) showed a lot of tension, but so did Bender and everyone else. They finally decided to put aside their differences and make peace. The first placed I noticed it was when they helped Bender when he stole the screw from the door. They also looked like they were becoming friends when they were smoking pot together. 2. What types of leadership services do the members of this group provide? I think the Vice Principal showed Authoritarian Leadership. Telling people they have to write essays and telling them they could not talk or move. I feel like Bender was the emergent leader. If something happened it was because of Bender. …show more content…

Describe the subcultures represented by the various characters. What are the rules and norms of these subcultures? How do these subcultures vie other subcultures: In what ways do these subcultures remind you of cultures and subcultures represented at your university? I related the subcultures with the socioeconimical class. You could tell that Clair and Andrew were from a higher class than Allison and Bender. The people in the high class had more polish and manners than those in the lower class. I think this is the same no matter where you go. You can see the different classes within the college. I do not think it is as extememe as it is in the movie, but it was the same way in high school. Those in a lower class would tend to be the trouble makers. 5. How does cohesiveness develop in this group? What specific actions, from what characters contribute to the cohesiveness? The first time I saw cohession from the group is when the whole group was defending Bender from when he broke the door so it would shut. The next time I saw it was when Bender broke away from the Vice Principal’s closet and he was hiding under the table. The Vice Principal walked in and Bender hit his head and yelled. He asked what a certain noise was and everyone in the group started coughing and making noises so he would not realize that it was

    For my second experiential learning assignment, I decided to break a social norm while going out to eat with my family at a restaurant: granted this is something I have a habit of doing but the reaction I got from my dining mates was particularly interesting this time. To give a little bit of background of the setting I was in at the time, I was with my mother, younger brother, and my mother’s friend at a restaurant in DC for my birthday dinner. The restaurant was crowded, but not many people were paying attention to what we were doing. The behavior I decided to break was dipping my fingers in the container caramel was in and then proceeded lick my fingers after doing so. I choose to break this social norm because one, the caramel sauce was really good, and two I was testing to see if my mother would say anything: normally on my birthday she lets me get away with

  • Social Separation In Oryx And Crake

    1953 Words  | 8 Pages

    Social Separation in Oryx and Crake Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake is not only a work of science fiction and fantasy, but a speculation as to the way in which our world may turn out if we continue to make dangerous choices as a society. Atwood explores the idea of how far we will take the idea of separating people by class and she also enters into how our abilities and education will shape the way we live. Most importantly however, she has created an extremist point of view of the class system. It is imperative to explore the ways in which people are separated by class in this novel because it can be seen as a warning of what is to come since there are already so many parallels in her tale with today’s society.

    I suppose when i used to think of cultural identity, i perceive it as what racial background we come from, what race we are. Whether it’s Mexican, Asian, French, etc… I assumed it meant what special foods we eat, and events or activities we participate in according to our background. Little did i know this is a misconception; quite a common one actually. Cultural identity is actually how you live your life and how you express yourself, the things you enjoy that make you, you.

    These factors all go hand in hand due to them having to do with interpersonal interaction. Conflict did arise during one of our sessions and I believe everyone fell into their familial roles, with mediators, appeasers and ones that stay out of the conversation (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005, p. 31). As the conflict arose, I looked towards the group leaders to see how they would handle the conflict between the members as well as observed the reaction of the remainder of the group to see how they were choosing to deal with the situation. This to me was a learning experience to see how others dealt with conflict resolution and to apply it to my own future experiences. Not only did the conflict provide an opportunity for imitation of behavior for the future and development of social techniques, it also highlighted each member’s own internal framework.

  • Hippie Counterculture Research Paper

    Circumscribed as “‘an island of deviant meanings within the sea of its society’” (Hall 1968: 3), hippies wanted to “challenge the system of values at the focal points of stress and tension” (4) since not having the chance of living a self-regulated life often comes along with dissatisfaction and insurgency (Syme and Ritterman 1). Hippies must therefore “project a confrontation with the core organizing meanings and values […] of the society” (Hall 1968: 4). This is exemplified in the sentence articulated by Berger who argues: “I don’t wanna [sic!] go over there [Vietnam] and kill people [Vietnamese soldiers]”

I consider myself a leader, i believe this because i am the type of person that feels like if i am not the one to do it then it will not be done the right way. Whenever i would work in groups i would designate myself to be the one to do the harder assignment, because i only trusted that would take it serious, not anyone else. Also, whenever i do anything that involves a team, i like to take control, because i feel like i am the best one to work under pressure or i can choose the best solution for any situation.

  • Sociological Perspectives Essay

    1191 Words  | 5 Pages

    Perspective is a chosen approach that can be used to study any subject in the field of sociology. These perspectives highlight the diverse methods an individual selects to analyze a theme and how they perceive the society in general. Three sociological perspectives include functionalist, conflict and interactionist perspectives (Thompson, Hickey, & Thompson, 2016, p. 2). Throughout this paper, I examine how we analyze the role of television from the functional, conflict, and interactionist approaches. Functionalist perspective on a macro-sociological level places far more emphasis on “the collective life or communal existence than on the individual” (Thompson, Hickey, & Thompson, 2016).
