Extractions: In this book J. M. Balkin offers a strikingly original theory of cultural evolution, a theory that explains shared understandings, disagreement, and diversity within cultures. Drawing on many fields of studyincluding anthropology, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, linguistics, sociology, political theory, philosophy, social psychology, and lawthe author explores how cultures grow and spread, how shared understandings arise, and how people of different cultures can understand and evaluate each others views. "Balkin takes the hot button words of current intellectual debateculture, ideology, transcendence, pragmatism, historicismand manages the considerable feat of making them usable again. He avoids final judgment while at the same time redeeming the vocabulary of final judgment so that it is once again available to those who have learned the lessons of various postmodernisms. An impressive and truly helpful book."Stanley Fish, Duke University J. M. Balkin is Lafayette S. Foster Professor and director of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School.

Extractions: Spring, 2001 Essay Topic: The Media as an Agent in Socialization According to sociology researchers we know that the Mass Media- radio, motion pictures, recorded music, television and the Internet- are important agents of socialization in our life. The Mass Media, especially the Internet, has a powerful influence in developing value systems and shaping behavior. Recently, sociologists and other social scientists have begun to consider what impact Internet communication may have on socialization. Thus, the Internet has two kinds of influence on people, negative if people do not use it wisely and positive if they do. The Internet is the worlds largest computer network. As of it was reaching some million computer users, but the number of people using the Internet has doubled each year. The Internet serves as a powerful agent of socialization for many young people in the United States and elsewhere. In recent years, people have expressed concern about the type of material that children can access on the Internet

Extractions: By Jin Yuejue JIN YUEJUE Photo by Arran Yarmie I was there, sitting among the excited spectators. But instead of watching the match, I was watching people and taking notes. The next day, my first article appeared in a city-wide high school newspaper. It was only 200 words, short and non-descript, but it was my first contact with journalism. I was 14 years old. After that first story I found I liked talking to different people and telling stories to the public. It gave me a great feeling of fulfilment. So I continued to work as a part-time student reporter at that newspaper for the next four years and then chose journalism as my undergraduate major in university. With some experience and a lot of interest, I saw no need to choose anything else. Unlike Canada where journalists talk about freedom of the press, the Chinese press operates under an obligation to not report news that may disrupt the stability of society, regardless of its importance.

http://www.a1b2c3.com/suilodge/facstu1.htm

Extractions: Sociology The sociological perspective looks at society's influence on its members; how do various social conditions (and their changes) affect suicide rates. Examples of such social variables are income, unemployment rate, birth order, gun ownership, divorce, and immigration. As its most eminent early proponent, Emile Durkheim, said, "social facts must be studied as things, as realities external to the individual." The sociological/statistical study of suicide actually began in the 1820's with research by Jean-Pierre Falret in France, and Johann Casper in Germany. Durkheim organized the earlier work and integrated it into a theoretical framework in the late 1800s. His ground-breaking book Suicide: A Study in Sociology was published in 1897. Durkheim felt that the Industrial Revolution had massively disrupted Western communities. As a result, people who didn't have the structure of ties to family or religion became particularly susceptible to suicidal urges. He called suicide due to such social disintegration "anomic". In other societies the individual is so highly integrated into the community that his life and behavior are tightly governed by the community's customs. In these circumstances, most suicide occurs because it is expected, almost required, rather than from personal sorrow or guilt.

"It's the one job where you need a good balance of being creative and having a strong business mind," Ms Creek. "You need to be bottom-line focused, and you need to find creative ways of doing things that attract people's attention. "You also need to be somebody who can communicate well." Working for a non-profit organisation means Ms Creek spends a considerable part of her day focusing on the organisation's 26,000 NSW members. "I love being able to put on things for our customers - our members are basically our customers - and they choose to be with us," she says. "They're a lovely group of people; they love cultural things and they have an appreciation of history, so it's quite enjoyable doing those sorts of things."

Extractions: HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY by Franz Oppenheimer in: William Fielding Ogburn, Alexander Goldenweiser, The Social Sciences and their Interrelations, Cambridge 1927, pp. 221-234 [p. 221] Between sociologists and historians there has existed since the first inception of sociological ideas, even since the time of Condorcet, a sharp difference, a state of battle, which grows out of two different sources - a psychological and a scientifico-logical. from below , and this attitude has never been entirely lost by their successors, as for example Comte, who had primarily bourgeois tendencies. Closely connected with this psychological difference is the scientifico-logical. All older history-writing had thrust the strong individual , the hero, into the center of the story, had conceived him as the real motive power of the events: the court historiographic method did this as a matter of course; the clerico-ecclesiastical conception did it, with the difference, however, that it regarded rulers, lawgivers, and the like, as instruments of God; and the bourgeois writing of history, in line with its general individualism, did it by abandoning the idea of a "genius" come from God and conceiving [p. 222]

http://www.bomp.com/BompbooksSocio.html

Extractions: The Sociology and Culture of Music One of the things that surprised me when I was compiling this site was the number of dull, dry, academic books in which all the excitement of music was reduced to Foucaultian jargon for the edification of college students. The impetus for this kind of writing seems to have come from England, where the social implications of music are taken far more seriously, and a whole subgenre called Cultural Studies was spawned around these analyses of pop, by Simon Frith and his cadre. There was a spate of books following the Mods and other Sixties trends in the UK (the only US equivalent being the ravings of Christians who saw communism attacking our kids thru folk, then the Beatles, folk-rock, and so on; a fascinating field unto itself, though not exactly academic sociology), but the genre really took off in the wake of Punk (a similar movement in the U.S. was represented (though self-defined more as 'musicology' than 'sociology') by the late R.

http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/csacpub/russian/oleg.html

Extractions: Oleg Kharkhordin Social scientists are reluctant to grasp the fashionable labels and quickly changing cliches of the media-saturated world. They wait until the label is circulated for a considerable period of time so that they can recognise a serious social phenomenon to be studied, not a hype. Thus, postmodernism - neglected through the 60s and 70s - has come to the forefront in the 80s when it has become impossible to ignore it any longer. The term `postmodernism', which appeared in the 60s as a characteristic of art and culture, has been integrated into mainstream social science through the work of some commentators on Habermas, who subsumed his French opponents in a debate on the fate of the Enlightenment (Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard) under the group name of `Postmoderns' (see also Bernstein (ed.) 1986 and Dews (ed.)1986). The group was named after the title of the seminal work of Lyotard, who claimed that the breakdown of meta-narratives of progress which gave a coherent set of coordinates to ground different spheres of human activity led to the disintegration of this coherent whole into a pluralism of language games which can no longer be included in one general account. Derrida's work on the deconstruction of binary oppositions pervading western philosophy and Foucault's genealogies of different human practices (which seem to have eschewed these oppositions) proposed new standards for philosophy and history (Lyotard 1982. See also Norris 1987. Dreyfus 1982). Since then `postmodern thought' has sent ripples through all terrains of social inquiry.
