What does it mean to “honor” someone? Who decides what is or is not an honor? How do issues of racism and ethnocentrism play out in this country’s actions when “honoring” Native Americans? Why do you think caricatures such as Little Black Sambo and the Frito Bandito were banished long ago while the Cleveland Indian logo (Chief Wahoo) remains?

Describe how a theorist from each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism) would go about studying behavior in a college classroom. What questions would the theorist ask, and what would the theorist be likely to do?

Remarriages and Stepfamilies

/in /by

AFTER READING CHAPTER 15, CONSIDER AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

  • Do you think Dr. Cherlin’s assertion that remarried/stepfamilies are an “incomplete institution” because they lack social scripts that would assist the family in coming together and assuming roles and responsibilities is still relevant and carries a measure of truth even decades after he made this observation and why?
  • As you read over the chapter and reviewed relevant course materials, what were some of the main issues or challenges that stood out to you concerning stepfamily dynamics?
  • When the chapter addressed stereotypes and stigmas, what is your perspective–what do you think shapes our views of step-families?

MOREOVER, BASED ON WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE CHAPTER AND EVEN YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES AND OBSERVATIONS…

  • What do you think would help stepfamilies as they form a new family system (e.g., identity, communication, the formation process, roles, etc.)?
  • Furthermore, what suggestions would you propose that would assist us as a society in helping stepfamilies? Do not hesitate to speak from personal experience.

Good morning class and Dr. Rawls,

Are showing emotions good or bad in the workplace? We are all humans, so sometimes it can be hard to hide our feelings even at work, however, a line should be drawn if the emotions are irrational or if they occur too often. Some people may cry at work due to being happy from maybe a promotion or something, but if a person is crying for other reasons, I find it to be unprofessional. Most organizations need staff members who can do their tasks and if the employee is constantly crying then they are unable to complete the task at hand. Other emotions like anger and frustrations are also not acceptable and very unprofessional at work. You should be able to control your emotions when you are working. It is best to avoid intense expressions of emotions at work, especially while around other coworkers. I am the type of person who hide their emotions while at work even. If I feel like I need to let off some steam, I would go to my car to breathe and gather my thoughts, even when I feel like crying, but once I get home I just let it all out. Work can have a lot of stress on an individual especially if they feel as if they are not getting anywhere, that’s why it’s important to make sure you set goals for yourself so you won’t become overwhelmed. How can expressing emotion motivate someone? Emotions can motivate a person to act. For example, when I important tests to take I get anxiety because I am not sure how well I will do on it. So, what I do is I motivate myself to study even harder, take notes, and encourage myself that I can do it. How is fear important for survival? Fear triggers an alarm inside an individual, it can force you to act and it can help you with your decision making. If you did not fear, then you cannot be aware of the threats that surround you
