The life of Cooley didn’t seem too abnormal or anything. Cooley did though, have very new and different ideas than most the sociologist we have talked about thus far. For example, his view encourages students to believe in life as a creative process of which the human will is a fundamental ingredient. As the book stated it, he was rational, social, and progressive. He seemed to teach motivational phrases that belong on a posters like, “One’s reach, so to speak, should exceed one’s grasp.” He believed that the person is not an effect of the social order, but instead they are an effective cause as well. Cooley had extreme empathy for everyone from every nature and struggle, which is unique to him and his studies. However, he did fail to come into …show more content…
He viewed behavior as reflexive and really focused in on that. He stated we have reflexive behaviors because we can respond to things around us and focus in on others. To Mead the mind is constructed by symbols and language. When a symbol is familiar it becomes a universal gesture. Reflexiveness is again mentioned and necessary for the mind to develop social processes. The self is the reference point to events, sensations, and emotions. As he says in the text, our self arises through play and games. There is also a generalized other that has to be understood. As we grow our self is manipulated into organized social attitudes and norms. When referencing the self, Mead talks about “I” and “Me”. Next Mead speaks about Society, which is a combination of the mind and self with others. So what he is saying is that what the mind and self does is determined by others in society. Therefore, society is then one of the most important pieces to Mead’s puzzle because the attitude of society will reflect the attitude of the mind and self. Overall, neither the self nor the mind are acting alone, but acting to
The Hunger Games was a critically acclaimed movie when it came out; however, some critics would argue that the movie can be sometimes too violent for its intended audience. In this essay I would dissert Brian Bethune’s essay “Dystopia Now” in order to find its weaknesses and compare the movie Battle Royale with his essay.
This book presents the relationship between human and animal behaviors and the behavior that is now created by our modern day society. The mind has two main parts. There is the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is the better half, yet it is potentially threatening; therefore, the conscious mind is aware at all times. The unconscious mind influences your behavior in many ways. Pi experiences both of these minds. Pi is consciously planning his survival and how he was going to spend his food, so he didn’t run out. His conscious mind contributed to Pi surviving at sea. Consequently, when Pi`s father fed a goat to a tiger to prove a point, he was unaware that this event changed his personality brutally. He became more

When I found out I qualified to be a candidate for the NJHS, I knew I had to take this chance. This group is made up of people who depict leadership, character, citizenship, academic success, and service and I would love to join. These characteristics wouldn't just be valuable for a candidate to have, but for everyone to have to exceed in life. If I were to be in the National Junior Honor Society, it would give me an opportunity to ameliorate my future and motivate me to do better.
The Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) was established to provide employees with ability to take a leave from work for personal or family health issues. The Act lays out specific circumstance in which an employee may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave within a 12 month period. Under the law, employees may request a leave for personal health issues, to care for a child, spouse or parent with serious health issues, birth or care of a child during the first year or for newly placed adoptions within one year.

The employee must submit a written request for FMLA and provide documentation supporting their request. Once approved, the employee may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Upon return the employee is guaranteed a job, if the employer had to fill their position out of business necessity, the employer must provide the employee with a position with equal responsibility and pay.
In the image of goodness in terms of society and/or personal actions and beliefs, people would probably want to believe what they want to believe, not let society choose who they should think is good and who is bad. In the book “The Crucible”, Arthur Miller demonstrates not only how people not only take what they believe in and use it to conduct their actions, but also, how it affects society all over the world. I,too would believe in my own personal beliefs or actions.
Religion’s chief functions include: a system of explanation and justification for morality. Religion in society provides us with a sense of purpose, security, morality, and obedience. This impacts every society because, as Pojman stated, “it legitimizes social mores, morality itself, as well as rituals for the dedication of children, rites of passage, marriage, and the passage from death to the beyond” (Pojman 1). This gives an accurate explanation of the different cultural traditions and views that exist worldwide.
While different in theory, both Mead and Freud were trying very hard to explain the complexities of what is known as the human existence. Meads theory states that we have more freedom and choice in our human development; while Freud theorizes we are slaves to our instinctual nature. After analyzing the differences between the two theories I came to the conclusion Mead’s theory of self, more accurately depicts my life and its experiences. Both Mead and Freud created great debate topics for the world of Sociology, and the world of Psychology alike.

The poems “For A Lady I Know” by Countee Cullen and “We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks are two completely different poems. The poems themselves have different prosody, and message.

Mead, G. H. 1934. Mind, self and society and society. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
George Herbert Mead was a philosopher and social theorist who was born in South Hadley, Massachusetts on February 27th 1863. His theories, mostly, consisted of human development within a society. Mead attended the University of Harvard where he received his Masters in philosophy and sociology. Mead is widely recognized for his theory of development of self and his concept of “I” and “Me.” The concept of the “I” and the “Me” refers to how we act and respond. According to Mead, the “I” is a reactive response whereas; the “Me” is a developed response. Meads concept of self and his theory of the development of self are well exhibited by the character Genie in the film, Genie: Secrets of a Wild Child.
Mead’s theory of the self is based on his argument that the “self” is not a biological precondition but is a product of social interaction. He argues that the “self” is not there at birth but develops in the process of socialization, experience and activities. Mead explains that there are three activities that allow the “self” to develop; that being language, play and games. The role of language allows an individual to observe how other people respond to their gestures and attitudes, the role of play allows people to pretend to be other people so they can express the expectations of others and in the game of role-playing, an individual can internalize the roles of others and comprehend the rules.
With the use and application of geospatial technology becoming increasingly common, I predict the inevitable future of GEOINT is in mobile/web applications, and the most dominant platforms will be hand-held devices such as Android, iOS, and front-end websites. The next few years will be a game changer in the sense that Web/Mobile GIS will blur the line between savvy GIS analysts and the non-GIS specialist. We are moving to a developer’s type platform rather than one specific for geospatial specialists. The gap between the novice and the expert will need to be filled with web technology such as web programming languages HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript.
