You may delay but time will not Benjamin

“You may delay, but time will not. ” Benjamin Franklin 9. 25. 17 (WU, PPT, Weber reading) 1. What do you think this quote means? Agree? I can explain the importance of statuses and roles in society.

Status I • The way society works and is structured is very difficult to pinpoint and define. • Status-position in a group or society. Everyone has different statuses. Master status-plays the greatest role in forming a person’s social identity. • Role-behavior expected of someone in a certain status. • Ascribed statuses-given with no effort. Achieved Status-earned through effort. • Social structure-network of statuses and roles that guide human interaction.

Status II • Most roles are reciprocal, meaning that you can’t complete your roles if someone else doesn’t have a corresponding role. • Conflict can arise when someone runs counter to expectations, or if a person cannot meet their expectationsrole strain. Many statuses require different roles. • Role exit is when a person totally separates from a status. • Different statuses may present a role conflict, and interfere with each other.

Instructions: • Groups choose a celebrity. • Come up with 2 ascribed statuses & 2 achieved statuses that apply to your celebrity. • Tell the statuses to the class. • Can your classmates come up with the celebrity?

• Create a status and Role map similar to pages 55 & 56. Instructions: • 2 ascribed statuses & 2 achieved statuses & Master Status! • List roles for statuses • Have three or more examples of strain

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. ” Confucius 9. 26. 17 (WU, PPT, Weber reading) 1. What is the difference between ascribed and achieved status? 2. What is role conflict? 3. What do you think this quote means? Agree? I can explain different types of interaction within society.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. Albert Einstein (WU, PPT, Skits, Weber) 9. 28. 17 1. What is role strain? 2. What is role exit? 3. What does this quote mean to you? I can list and explain the different types of interactions within society.

Interaction I • The exchange theory states that people’s main motivation in life is self-interest. If a person believes that their effort is greater than the reward they probably won’t do it . Sociologists have poked holes in theory. It doesn’t apply to everyone, and most are concerned about everybody, and willing to act on it.

Interaction II • Competition- two entities want the same thing. Many people, more so in the USA, believe that competition is a great thing, and that it brings out the best in everybody. • When people don’t compete fairly, and go about trying to hurt or control their opponent that can lead to conflict.

Interaction III: • Cooperation-when two or more agree to work together. • Accommodation – state of balance between cooperation & conflict. • Compromise: each party gives up something in order to come to an agreement. • Truce: temporary halt to the competition or conflict until a compromise can be reached. • Mediation: a third party acts as an advisor to guide the two parties to an agreement. • Arbitration: a third party makes a binding decision for the parties in competition or conflict.

The people in your skit should be the same group members you had for your breaking social norms project. Be ready to sum up your project. If you are missing your group join someone else

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. ” Marcus Aurelius (WU, PPT, Weber Reading) 9. 29. 17 1. What is the exchange theory? 2. Do you think making personal achievements into competitions brings out the best in people? Why? 3. What do you think this quote means? Agree? I can explain the early advancements of society.

Preindustrial I • Preindustrial society- no machines. • The first societies were hunter-gatherers. These societies were nomadic (no set home), and were usually simple, with small societies (families). • Pastoral societies were more complex by domesticating animals, creating herds, and moving around to different pastures. Job specialization begins, along with trade, and the idea of class.

Preindustrial II • Agricultural societies- Agriculture/farming is the most important invention in history. It allows people to stay in one place permanently. This has lead to the most complex societies. • These rely on animal and human power. The need for farmers is less, creating more job specialization. The societies eventually grow to have more than one city, creating the need for roads, which means even more trading. These governments were usually lead by one person, someone who claimed to speak for/to God/s.

• Pastoral societies need less people to make food, have larger societies, and let people specialize in other institutions of societies. Job specialization creates trade with other societies/cultures, yielding an exchange of ideas, sparking innovation. Trade leads to more defined social classes (lower/middle/upper). • Horticultural societies grow their own food. These societies don’t use animal labor. They use slash and burn techniques, use up the nutrients in the ground, then repeat the technique. They can settle in one place longer, but are very similar to Pastoral society.

“The two biggest factors leading to failure are blame and complain. ” (WU, PPT, Status/Culture map) 10. 2. 17 1. Describe a nomadic civilization. 2. Why is the invention of agriculture such a big deal? 3. What do you think this quote means? Agree? Can I describe Industrial and Post-Industrial societies? Need books tomorrow!

Industrial I • Industrial societies have more advanced technology, and machines to farm, needing less people to make food. These societies focus on manufacturing goods with machines. Before industrialization, talented craftsmen would make a whole product. After industrialization, people are responsible for one part in an assembly line. This needs less skill, but more stuff can be made.

Industrial II • Big cities develop, creating complex societies. Around the same time as industrialization, the beliefs of the Enlightenment were widely accepted, leading to people believing that humans can solve any problem using scientific principles. This combination led to the first sociologists. • People have more control in where they are at in society, in part because there is more job specialization. Before Industrialization, wherever you started at, you’d likely stay there.

Postindustrial I • Postindustrial Society-our society has transitioned to this recently. Many are still struggling in this transition. These societies rely on providing and producing services and knowledge. People who used to work in manufacturing may especially struggle.

“Life is an adventure in forgiveness. ” Norman Cousins (WU, Mc. Donaldization, PPT, Book Review ) 10. 3. 16 1. What was the biggest change the Industrial Revolution brought? 2. What is a Postindustrial society? 3. What do you think this quote means? Agree? Can I list and define different types of groups

• Finish Mc. Donaldization • Begin Work on the Chapter Review on page 82 1 -13 • Don’t do 1 b, 3 b, 5 a • For 2 a, give a brief description for each • For the Vocab, choices are: master status, accommodation, postindustrial, secondary group, social structure, exchange, pastoral, primary group

Groups I • Groups-more than one person, interaction, shared expectations, common identity. • Formal – group in which the structure, goals, & activities are clearly defined. • Informal – group with no official structure or established rules of conduct. • Primary – small group who interact over a long period of time on a direct & personal basis. • Secondary – group in which interaction is temporary & impersonal.

Groups II • In – any group that you are actually a part of. • Out – any group that you are NOT a part of. • Electronic community – anyone you interact with on the internet. • Social network – the web of relationships formed by all of the people you interact with. • Reference– any group with whom you identify & whose attitudes & values you want to adopt (don’t have to be a part of the group).
