A Letter of Gratitude
First of all I would like to thank XIME for the SUPA course that gave me an opportunity to see and work for a part of society that was relatively unknown to me. At first when I came to know of SUPA, I was wondering why such a course has been included to an already busy academic curriculum. Whether the students including me will take it as a serious project or just treat it like a one month long vacation. I had my doubts whether 20 days is enough to make a difference. Even my NGO (Deepalaya) had apprehensions as to how much we will be able to contribute in such a short time span. But after going through the whole exercise I can say that this course will surely be one of the highlights of my two year PGDM. SUPA helped me create a bond with Deepalaya that will

    Social Junk and Social Dynamite

    "Problem populations are defined in terms if their threat and costs to capitalist relations of production." (Spitzer 503) In other words people are judged by how or what they contribute to society. "Social junk" can be defined as people that don't contribute to society but rather in take. For example senior citizens, handicapped and the mentally retarded. Spitzer defines "social junk" as a costly but relatively harmless burden to society. (504)…

    Brave New Worlds Social Outcas

    The characters in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World represent certain political and social ideas. Huxley used what he saw in the world in which he lived to form his book. From what he saw, he imagined that life was heading in a direction of a utopian government control. Huxley did not imagine this as a good thing. He uses the characters of Brave New World to express his view of utopia being impossible and detrimental. One such character he uses to represent the ideology…

    Social process

    Firms endeavoring to expand into foreign countries need to evaluate the country through both traditional quantitative means and also through a qualitative socioeconomic perspective. In his book, Borderless Business, Clarence Mann introduced the concept of the Social Process Triangle (SPT) to facilitate analysis of the “underlying dynamics of any society” (2006). According to Mann, those dynamics can be described as the interactions between culture, economy and politics (2006). Culture addresses the influence and dynamics of values on a market, such as religion, philosophy, and social relationships. These aspects of culture drive market preferences; for example, in India, Hinduism influences products in international restaurant chains such as McDonald’s, where beef is not on the menu (Alon & Jaffe, 2013). Similarly, Coca-Cola has rebranded Diet Coke as Coke Light in certain European countries to appeal to the local lingo used to describe low-calorie food and beverages (http://www.coca-colacompany.com/contact-us/faqs). Economy examines the specific industry and factors of production, such as availability of materials, education and skill levels of human resources, infrastructure and distribution channels. Political factors, such as how decisions are made and controlled, show the influence of government on business, and the perceived responsibility of business and/or government to support social needs is addressed (Mann & Goetz, 2006…

    Essay On Social Promotion

    When a given child wants to learn, but no matter how hard they try they cannot overcome a concept, is it detrimental to their education or is it in fact beneficial? In many ways, teenagers can feel stuck regardless of if they are or not sometimes. Being held back is definitely not a step in the right direction, especially if the child is genuinely trying or has retained a lot of the information from a previous class. Social promotion is, sadly however, sometimes taken advantage of even if not without conscious intent to. A developing child cannot know how much farther they could have gotten if they were held back at an early age, whether it is their own fault or their guardians.…

    Community Engagement

    One of the reasons I enjoy working for the Community of Northeast Ohio is because I believe I can have a powerful effect on people’s lives. America is currently facing hardship times and we should all, for the most part, enter into collaborate agreements to support community engagement. I believe we should identify the relevant issues and make decisions about how to address them, evaluate and share the results with the community. As the current Executive Director of the Christian Family Center, we are faced with the increasingly difficult challenge of stabilizing our communities and neighborhoods in the face of the devastating impact of economic disruptions and dislocation, foreclosure, joblessness, and diminishing traditional resources. My passion to work, not just with the Hispanic Community, but with all the communities of Northeast Ohio, is what drives me to succeed and make a significant impact on those with great need. The statistics indicate that unemployment, foreclosure, high costs of Health Care and poverty levels are constantly rising across all of Northeast Ohio. According to a recent article published in The Plain Dealer on September 29, 2010, one out of every three people lived in poverty at the end of 2009, making Cleveland the second-poorest big city in America, according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Many people, in my opinion, are feeling the pangs of hunger and fear for the first time in our communities. Between 2007 and 2009, poverty increased in Cuyahoga, Summit and Lake Counties, rose sharply in Lorain and Portage counties, and nearly doubled in Geauga County, where poverty ensnared 9 percent of the community, according to a Plain Dealer analysis of census data. And more than half of Cleveland's children -- 51.3 percent -- are growing up poor, according to the Census Bureau. Escalating medical costs are threatening the nation’s…

    Social Loafing

    Social Loafing

    The common problem when working in a group is social loafing. “Social loafing is the tendency for individuals to expend less effort when working collectively than when working individually.”(pg.299) The best way to discourage social loafers is limit the group size, holding each individual responsible for their part, and setting group goals. One of the common stereotypes about groups is that team work intimates individual effort and increases the groups’ capacity to achieve its goals. However, in late 1920s, German psychologist names Max Ringelmann did a rope-pulling experiment on groups. He assumed that the group of three would pull three times as much as one person, and group of eight would pull eight times as much as one person. He came to a conclusion that more people in the group may be better for the total productivity, but the individual’s productivity of each group member declines.…

    Social Competence Essay

    The physical environment within an early childhood setting can be detrimental to children’s behaviour through their developmental stages. Social competence corresponds with positive behaviour because lack of engagement to the child’s environment may cause a child to respond by boredom, chaotic behaviour, unable to express themselves through language, lack of concentration and overall developmental challenges (Porter, 2008, pp. 164). It is the responsibility of the educator’s in their given centre’s to observe children’s learning allowing educators to positively address children’s needs regarding their social learning. Strategies must be implemented by educator’s to ensure resources within the centre are effectively being utilised, as well as educator’s attitudes towards children must be shifted allowing children a voice. This includes communication, guided learning and attention between the environment and children. Therefore, this essay will discuss strategies educators can implement to adopt these practices into the physical environment of the setting impacting on children’s developing social competence.…

    Social Experience

    Social experience is a lifelong social experience by which people develop their human potential and learn culture. The interaction of humans has been studied through the ages by thinkers of all types Darwin, Watson, Freud, Meade and Paigets. They all came up with a different view of how we develop socially. How important are the roles of family, school, peer groups and the media on our personality development or is it all preordained and instinctual. There are two different theories of what happens in the beginning. Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud believed that human behaviors were biologically based, that we have instinct for human competitiveness, sexual and emotional bonding, and aggressive behavior. The other school of thought as studied and proven by John B. Watson, Jean Paigets, and George Herbert Meade was that behaviorism or instincts are learned.…
