Two Personalities of the Modern Man

We are all born into different circumstances and our upbringing materially influences our perception of the importance of maintaining control over our lives - something we call empowerment and self determination. The material conditions in which a child is raised - weather in poverty, in middle class comfort or within a high level of affluence - affect the later adult differently insofar as the way in which the individual perceives their need to self determine his destiny. Of these three classes, the poor and the wealthy, particularly when in their extreme, tend to gravitate toward placing little importance, or outright dismissing of such need. On the other hand, the middle class individual tends to cherish this right and value its importance in defining his life's course.

An Introduction to the Theoretical Perspectives of Sociology

Sociologists have covered a broad amount of material in their accumulated studies. Some, like Karl Marx, studied broad topics related to the whole of societies. He theorized that the root of human misery lies in the uneven distribution of wealth in society. Others, like Emile Durkheim, focused on more concise topics. He concentrated much of his effort on determining why certain sects of people are more apt to commit suicide than others. Still others, like Max Weber, studied patterns in culture throughout history to determine how much a social group can affect one's life. Though many sociologists study different topics, all use their recorded data to produce theories. These theories suggest how certain parts of the world fit together and how they work. If you break theories down further, you can sort them into three distinct categories: symbolic interactionism, functional analysis, and conflict theory. All three can use different observations to prove the same point.

With evidence clearly illustrating that wild-caught species make for better food and healthier people, the quest for vibrant streams and oceans is essential.

Scanning For Mob Tipping Points Prior to Riots - Is it Possible With Current Technology?

After watching the G-20 riots where self-proclaimed anarchists worked to destroy property and bank buildings one has to wonder if there is a solution. Of course, anyone who has ever studied riots or civil unrest realizes that a crowd or mob can change from a peaceful demonstration into a riot almost at a drop of a hat. But can we tell when that straw is about to break the camel's back, or exactly when that tipping point is about to occur.

Pigs, Relativity, Statistics and What Sells

I am blown away by the psychosis going on worldwide about this new flu virus that very sadly killed a number of people in Mexico.  It is not at all my intention to undermine the danger or the gravity and tragedy for the families who lost their loved ones to this virus.  However, I would like a little bit of relativity and perspective in media coverage and allow people to live a normal life, without the phobia of some obscure virus.

Idaho Amends Daycare Laws

People had long been complaining about the state of childcare centers in Idaho, one of the lowest ranked in the nation, where smaller care centers are not even required to have a working telephone or smoke detector and where the child-staff ratio is far from being ideal. In response to the complaints and dissatisfaction of the population, the Idaho Senate voted unanimously to approve a daycare licensing bill. Senate Bill 1112 was extensively amended by the House, causing many senators to pose strong objections to the House changes.

Rabbit Out of the Hat

It's been a lot of fun to watch all the activity over the last 36 hours. The disbelief of critics at first was absolutely priceless. None of them had a clue that there was any type of mediation going on between YTB and the Attorney Generals office. No need to even think there would be, everyone of them were convinced that this case would go all the way to trial. Denial was the first reaction of many as if it were some cruel joke that YTB was playing on everyone.

Should a Bomb Dog Know More Than Its Handler?

Prior to 9/11, Work Dogs International imported, trained, and sold approximately 14 explosive detection dogs to and from our bomb dog facility per year. More than half of these trained bomb sniffing dogs were export ed to the Middle East to work with military police and security units. After 9/11, however, requests for qualified dogs and handlers rocketed to 80 bomb dog detection teams per year. Currently that number stands at 30 per year. In short, the days of a sloppy looking handler shuffling up to search a building with an elderly bomb sniffing dog are over.

Why We Love Bad News and How it Supports the Recession

Why is most news bad news? To apply positive psychology and brain research knowledge to our attitudes and behaviors with relation to our current economic conditions, we can encourage our news deliverers to present a balanced and multi dimensional point of view. Giving us the bad news, so that our brains are hard-wired into a negative state, will just reinforce the current negative economic climate. The best thing people can do toward a more positive, optimistic frame of mind is to avoid seeing and reading negative news about our economy on a frequent basis.

Did Princess Diana Foresee Her Death?

Though her untimely death occurred on August 31, 1997 in a car crash, which was declared as an accident that occurred because of a driver who was drunk and who was driving the car very fast, Princess Diana was already aware that there were plans to kill her. After her divorce to Prince Charles, she wrote in a letter to her former butler, Paul Burrell, that she was living in the most dangerous phase of her life, where plans for murdering her were being made. She even had information that there were plans being made to ...

The Evolution of Human Genius

Our world has converged into an increasingly interconnected, heterogeneous community of people belonging to different cultures and ethnicities, speaking different languages, and getting ever greater opportunities to interact and communicate with each other. The greater possibilities for interaction between cultures that were spurred in the twentieth century by advances in transport such as air travel were not available to people of ages bygone; the advances in information and communication technology achieved at the turn of this century were not available only a few decades earlier. The communications revolution of recent times is every bit as groundbreaking as ...

Did You Know That by Law Your Seafood is Being Traced? Why Not Trace it Too?

Organizations like the International Standardization Organization (ISO) are setting guidelines internationally for how governments and companies can follow their food production from processing to distribution. However, Alaskan seafood traceability is already mandated by law to ensure that if a product says that is Alaskan, that its path from ocean to the grocer can be documented. This implies knowledge of producers, good record keeping during processing, adequate labels, and a tracking system that functions from catch to retail. These and other steps, such as monitoring and surveillance of shipments, allow truth in advertising and empower consumers to choose wisely and sustainably.
