Social Behavior: Literature Review
[ send me this paper ]

Social Bias
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Despite how far some people think social harmony has progressed over the last century, there is quite a significant amount of evidence that points to just the opposite as being true.

Social Class Distinctions Based on Spatial and Perceptual Divisions
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper using the theories of Bourdieu, Lacan, Baudrillard and Barthes to discuss the theories of social distinction. Traditionally, sociologists have found distinct separation of the classes based not only on monetary and educational standards but also are largely classified by cultural capital, language and psychological distinctions from others. While parents may attempt to overcome these distinctions through mobilization through the classes in the interests of their children, there are still many factors which they cannot overcome. However, postmodernists do not agree that the same social distinctions are made in today’s society as individuals are overcoming social distinctions and forming new relationships based on common interests and reality because of capitalism, consumerism and the modern media.

Social Disobedience
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When comparing the socially disobedient behavior of biblical Amos with the contemporary notion of social disobedience, the student will come to the realization that while time periods might make it appear as though each approach is diverse in nature, the very essence of cause reflects as a common denominator between the two. That such socially disobedient individuals as Martin Luther King and Ghandi sought to create a better world by way of speaking out against man's atrocities toward his own kind is akin to Amos's attempts to draw attention to a society of people whose own quest for personal indulgence proved detrimental to the masses.

Social Norms
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Society is bound by a set of rules – some written, some spoken, others explicitly followed by virtue of inherent knowledge but all universally understood within the confines of that particular culture – which serve to govern civilized behavior. The deviant behavior of breaking a social norm constitutes stepping over of very specific boundaries that prove to delineate a mandated proximity and/or behavior man has imposed upon his own species. To demonstrate just how inextricable social norms are to the fundamental components of human existence, one only has to stand too close while conversing to see the immediate discomfort people feel when you have violated their personal space.
