      This page could really help Dunya and I in our research because it really helps us see the other side of peer pressure. It explains that their is two different sides of presure: a negative and positive one. Also, it talks about factors that can influence our project.
  • Gender and age are factors
  • How successfully you handle peer pressure depends a great deal on how you feel about yourself and your place in the world. There are certain "risk factors" for peer pressure, personality traits that make you more prone to give in to peer pressure.

      This point is really important because it explains how peer pressure can influence different people. If you have a higher confidence, you won't be as influenced by peer pressure than if you have very low self confidence.

      This point is also really important because it helps my partner and I to see that there are two different types of pressures: some are negative and some are positive. They can influence someone in two drastically different ways.
  • It is important to remember that teenage friends can have a positive influence on your children, you should therefore help them find friends that have similar interests and views as those you are trying to develop in your children, including doing well in school, having respect for others and avoiding drug use, smoking and drinking, etc.
  • Younger teens are more easily influenced than older teens, with peer pressure peaking in about eighth or ninth grade
  • confidence level, personality and degree of maturity make a difference.
  • The need for acceptance, approval, and belonging is vital during the teen years.

  • Layers occur almost everywhere in nature: in tissues of the human body, rock formations in the ground, atmospheres around the earth, and in societies of every nation on the earth. We call these layers strata and the process of layering stratification.
  • Social Stratification is the socio-economic layering of society's members according to property, power, and prestige. Property is all the wealth, investments, deeded and titled properties, and other tangible sources of income. Power is the ability to get one's way even in the face of opposition to one's goals. Prestige is the degree of social honor attached with your position in society.

  • lets you understand how much a person could buy in the US with a given amount of money, regardless of the country's currency.
  • That means the stratification difference between the world's top five countries is over 149 times higher than the bottom 5 countries.
  • The US ranks high $45, 840 per capita (per person) but is the 6th wealthiest behind Luxembourg, Norway, Kuwait, Brunei, and Singapore.
  • More Developed Nations are nations with comparably higher wealth than most countries of the world including: Western Europe; Canada, United States, Japan, and Australia-these are also called Now Rich Countries.
  • lso called Now Poor Countries.
  • Africa is the poorest region with the average person making less than 1/10th of what the average US person makes.
  • Again Luxembourg at $64,400 has a score over 20 times higher than Africa's; 11 times higher than Asia (Excl. China); and 7 times higher than Latin America.
  • The higher the GNI PPP the better off the average person in that country
  • Females made much less income than males in all categories.
  • The Hispanic category is lowest for males and females.
  • Asians had the highest personal income for both sexes (Data for Asians was not reported prior to 2004).

      This is a great example of how the value of a woman as capital does not lie in income because it is inferior to male's 
  • In sum, the females with the highest income are married.
  • Single females reported the lowest income
  • Basically, the higher the education, the higher the annual income in 2007.
  • higher for Whites and Asians
  • Blacks and Hispanics
  • Official data begin to tell you the story about how the layers look in a society.
  • Over 40 percent of Hispanics, African Americans, and Native Americans dropped out.
  • In the US, non-Whites, non-Asians, and non-males are more likely to be found in the lower layers.

Altruism - 0 views

shared by Leigh Gantman on 17 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • Altruistic behavior is something we might assume takes place every day. A person stops to help an elderly member of society across a street, an adult donates his/her time at a local charity, or someone else might even put himself or herself in harm’s way for the immediate benefit of another without really thinking about the consequences. However, it’s not clear what this sort of altruistic behavior actually comprises, or whether genuine altruism really exists. Today’s episode digs into these questions about altruism from two main standpoints. The first is from Biology, which considers how our conception of right and wrong may have been wired into us through evolution. The second considers altruism from the psychological standpoint. This view grants much more importance to the role of an individual’s psychology and his/her intentions when committing an action, which potentially leaves more possibility for genuinely altruistic acts to occur. 
    • Daryl Bambic

      This site is the work of two philosophy professors so it is reputable; but make sure to listen to the rest of the podcast before concluding something that you might misunderstand because you've taken it out of context.
  • Leigh Gantman on 17 Oct 10
     
    This is extremely important for my project because it tries to explain why people act generously, and if their acts are genuine or not. It explains that throughout evolution, humans have been biologically programmed to grasp the concept of right and wrong. Therefore, it would be human nature telling them to do an act of consideration for another. However, it also explains that sometimes a genuine act of altruism can come from the individuals psychology, in which case their intention would be different. When the act comes from a psychological position, chances are more likely that the person sincerely wanted to commit it. I can incorporate this into my project by including questions in the survey such as: If you give to a charity, what is your purpose? Options for this will include answers like: It is the right thing to do or I really want to help someone else in need. This will show me how many people really have it in their hearts to be altruistic, and how many do it because they know it is what they should be doing.

      Interesting...... it seems that this power of authority can also lead to negative results depending on how it's used. This can be valuable to my project as it unveils a completely different vantage point of this issue as it displays what consequences can occur if authority is used in different manners (ex: staff can file grievances if power is used abusively , staff can be confused and helpless if authority is not used correctly, etc.)
  • A psychological contract is created in which a staff person is led to believe that after several years of hard work, the supervisor will assist in a promotion. With that carrot, the boss obtains superior work, long hours and dedication from an ambitious employee. When the time comes for a return on the staff person’s investment, the boss reneges, either having overstepped his bounds (offering something he can’t provide) or failing to provide the staff person with the development necessary to step into the promised position.

      This is a very intriguing paragraph as it explains the manipulating ways of supervisors that over-use their authority. It seems like supervisors can easily control their workers into making a decision to work harder by offering them rewards but when its time to pay up, the workers go home empty-handed (as the supervisors don't come up with the rewards). This is valuable to mine and Jordana's project as it has shown us another technique authoritative figures use to make individuals obey their demands.

      Extremely interesting article. Not only does it give another summary of Stanley Milgram's experiment but it even compares it to human history. By using the example of the Nazi dominance during World War II, this article uses the Milgram Experiment to help readers understand why so many people obeyed the Nazis during the World War. This is beneficial to mine and Jordana's project as it gives us another useful example to include in our research. What differentiates this example from many we have found is that the Nazi reign over Europe was a huge event in world history thus this example showed us that the power of authority can be so powerful that it leaves a mark in the history of mankind. In addition, it can be used not only to influence one individual but gigantic groups of individuals as well, to go against what they believe is right.

      excellent site.
  • In view of the Milgram experiments, the Nazi crimes are not difficult to understand. Milgram himself suggested that one of the major factors accounting for the Holocaust was the ready propensity of human beings to obey authorities even when obedience is wrong. Indeed, although Milgram's experiment has been repeated dozens of times with many different groups of people, the results are always the same: most people will obey external authority over the dictates of conscience.
    • Jamie Eichenbaum
      Jamie Eichenbaum on 21 Oct 10
       
      This section further discusses the rapport between the Milgram Experiment and the Nazi reign in Europe. Additionally , it explains something I felt was very intriguing. It explains that Milgram's Experiment has been repeated numerous times and the results that appear are consistent: the majority of people will obey an authority figure even when they feel that they are making a wrong decision.
    • Daryl Bambic

      Make sure that you take into consideration that Milgram was making analogies to the Nazi regime and not explaining it. The important difference was the prevalence of FEAR in the latter.

For instance, a very religious and conservative woman may not feel the same way on the subject as a less religious teen.  I think points of view on interracial relationships could be linked to religious support.

  • The fact is that we decide who we would let influence, inspire, or corrupt us.
  • Peers influence our behavior but parents play a part in which peers we choose to associate with.  Our behavior in public and at work is largely determined by our childhood peers but our family behavior is determined by the early lessons we received at home. 
  • Parents influence at-home behavior and peers influence behavior outside the home, that is, the behavior in the social setting.  We learn how to make friends and influence others by first experimenting with our peers and then we transfer these skills to the adult world of coworkers and friends.  But, how we behave as partners and parents is more likely to be shaped by what we observe in our families as children.

      This section could help us because it explains how teenagers change their behaviours when at home compared to with their social groups. People will always be different with their friends than with their families.
  • It is true that children adopt or mimic certain behaviors in social settings in order to win acceptance of their peers.  How desperate children get for peer acceptance and approval depends on the sense of individuality (or lack of it) their families cultivate in them.  Children whose parents encourage them to think independently learn to question rather than to blindly follow.  Such children might be less influenced by their peers.

      This could help me and my partner for our project because we understand that teenagers try to immitate people to become socially accepted by them.
