Historical Context: Emergence of Social Science Disciplines
1. Several social science disciplines emerged during the Enlightenment period of the 17th-18th centuries, including anthropology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, and psychology.
2. These disciplines were founded on rational and scientific principles rather than religious authority, and asked important questions about human nature, societies, languages, economies, and politics.
3. Early scholars in each discipline lacked modern methods of data collection and analysis, but laid the philosophical groundwork for the systematic study of these topics.
Institutional theory
rational myths, isomorphism, legitimacy,Institutions-Characteristics, Old/ New Institutionalism, Typology of institutionalism ,Sustainable Development
LINGUISTIC - DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCE
Linguistics is the scientific study of language and its structure, including morphology, syntax, phonetics, phonology and semantics. It is divided into subfields that study language structure and use, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Other branches include sociolinguistics, dialectology, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, historical-comparative linguistics, and applied linguistics. Applied linguistics specifically identifies and offers solutions to real-world language problems.

Diss lesson-5-dominant-approaches-and-ideas-in-social-sciences
This document discusses several dominant approaches and ideas in the social sciences. It outlines microlevel approaches like rational choice theory and symbolic interactionism, which focus on individual behavior and decision-making. It also discusses macrolevel approaches like structural functionalism and institutionalism, which examine larger social systems and structures. Structural functionalism views society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote stability. Institutionalism studies how formal and informal institutions influence social behavior by constraining and empowering individuals. The document provides overviews of the key concepts and premises of these different theoretical perspectives in social science.

Institutionalism
Thorstein Veblen is considered the founder of institutionalism. He developed a critique of orthodox economic theory and argued that human behavior is governed by instincts and habits formed by institutions, which are socially shared mental patterns. In his 1899 book The Theory of the Leisure Class, Veblen analyzed conspicuous consumption as a display of status rather than satisfying real needs. New institutionalism in the 1980s revived a focus on institutions across various disciplines like economics and political science. It views institutions as lenses for understanding these fields and reacted against approaches that neglected historical and social contexts. Traditional institutionalism deals with enduring social structures and the processes through which norms and rules become established guidelines for behavior over time.
Community Engagement, Solidarity and Citizenship
This document defines community and outlines the key elements that comprise a community. It discusses community as (1) a shared political territory, (2) a network of interpersonal ties based on common interests, and (3) a sharing of spiritual/emotional connections. The key elements that form a community include membership, influence, integration/fulfillment, and shared emotional connections. Community structures examined are social, cultural, political, and economic. Factors like authority, influence, charisma, fertility, mortality, and migration can impact community dynamics and power structures over time. Different community typologies are also defined such as gemeinschaft vs gesellschaft, local vs global, and urban vs rural communities.
Indigenizing the Social Sciences
This document provides an overview of Filipinology and key figures in the development of social sciences and Filipino studies in the Philippines. It discusses pioneers like Belinda Aquino, Manuel Quezon, Antonio de Morga, and Wenceslao Retana. It also outlines important institutions that have contributed to Filipinology, such as the University of Hawaii's Center for Philippine Studies, the University of San Francisco's Philippine Studies program, the Philippine National Historical Society, and government agencies like the Philippine Social Sciences Council and National Historical Commission. The document emphasizes how these individuals and organizations have helped establish Filipinology as an academic field and indigenized social sciences in the Philippines.
Lesson 2 origin of world religions
The document discusses the origins and development of major world religions. It begins by explaining how prehistoric humans practiced early forms of religion and how geography and culture influenced the establishment of religions. It then provides a timeline of important dates in the origins of religions like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Shintoism. It also summarizes the commonalities between the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam which have over half the world's population. The document concludes by examining the geographical contexts of religions in the Western Frontier (West Asia), the Indian Subcontinent, and Eastern End (East Asia).
Core & periphery theory for planning
The document discusses the theory of core and periphery as it relates to economic geography. The core-periphery model proposes that as one region grows economically, it becomes the core, while surrounding areas become the periphery. At the global scale, developed nations form the economic core and developing nations the periphery. Core nations control global markets and benefit more, while periphery nations depend on the core and receive a disproportionately small share of global wealth. The relationship between core and periphery can have both positive "spread effects" and negative "backwash effects" on the periphery.
Global Inequality-Theory and Factors
This document discusses factors that contribute to global and domestic inequalities. It introduces dependency theory, which argues that poorer countries are disadvantaged in the international system through exploitation by richer countries. Global factors like colonialism created economic gaps by exploiting resources from colonies. The structure of the world economy also favors richer nations. Domestically, overpopulation, unemployment, and the legacy of colonial social divisions contribute to inequality. Dependency theory asserts that underdeveloped countries must isolate from capitalist states to gain independence.

3.-Global-citizenship.pptx
This document discusses the concept of global citizenship. It begins by outlining an activity for students to create a concept map and definition of global citizenship. It then provides several definitions and perspectives on global citizenship from different authors. It discusses how global citizenship is associated with both rights and obligations. It also examines different approaches to resisting economic globalization, such as trade protectionism and fair trade. Finally, it argues that reforms to global governance are needed to allow citizens to participate more directly in global affairs.
Community in different perspectives
A community can be understood from different perspectives. It is a sociological construct that has fuzzy boundaries and can exist within a larger community. A community consists of individuals with many differences that can cause divisions and conflicts. These differences include factors like religion, ethnicity, gender, class, education and more. From a social science perspective, communities have been conceptualized as ideal political units or analyzed in terms of the roles of institutions in maintaining social order. Communities can also be understood from an institutional perspective in terms of the social institutions that arise from shared agreements and shape collective behaviors and functions.
6. Human Environment System.pptx
This document discusses the human-environment system. It defines key concepts like environment, system, and the coupled human-environment system. It describes how humans interact with and influence their environment through activities like farming, waste disposal, urbanization, and deforestation. These human actions can cause environmental issues like water scarcity, land degradation, and habitat destruction. The document also examines the strengths of viewing humans and the environment as an interconnected system.
Society and Culture: Family Planning
This document discusses the functions of the family in society. It lists 9 functions: childbearing, regulating sexual behavior, identifying social status, social control, child-rearing, education, socialization, religion, and politics. It also discusses family structures like patrilineal, matrilineal, and bilateral. Additionally, it notes the importance of the family in transmitting culture and values to children, teaching social responsibility, and serving as a model for future relationships.
The North-South Gap
The document discusses the economic and social divide between the global North and South. It describes how the Northern economies were historically based on industries and manufacturing while the Southern economies relied on agriculture and cash crops. This led to disparities in standards of living and wealth distribution between the two regions over time. The document also examines some of the key issues associated with the North-South divide like economic competition and analyzes factors that have contributed to the development gap such as colonialism, unequal trade relations, and debt.
symbolic interactionism theory
Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that develops from practical considerations and alludes to people's particular utilization of dialect to make images and normal implications, for deduction and correspondence with others.
DISS (Disciplines within Social Sciences)
The document discusses several social science disciplines. It provides information on the fields of study and research methods for anthropology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, and demography. The disciplines cover topics like culture, language, human evolution, spatial relationships between people and environments, systems of governance, behavior, and social groups. Common research methods include ethnography, case studies, surveys, interviews, and data analysis techniques.
Global citizenship
Global citizenship recognizes that people's actions can have consequences around the world due to increasing global interdependence. It involves being aware of global issues and participating to address social injustices and environmental challenges from the local to global levels. For young people to be effective global citizens, they need skills like problem solving, critical thinking, communication and collaboration to navigate the complexities of the 21st century world.
Typologies of Community
The document categorizes communities into three types: urban, suburban, and rural. It provides details about the population density, common buildings and structures, and livelihoods that characterize each type of community. Urban communities have the highest population density and are located around economic centers. Suburban communities are located outside urban areas and have lower density than urban areas. Rural communities have the lowest population density and are located in countryside areas, with livelihoods focused on farming and livestock. The document also discusses the formal and informal economic sectors, noting that the formal sector complies with government regulations while the informal sector lacks licenses and oversight.
Core Values and Principles of Community Action Initiatives.pdf
The document discusses the core values and principles of community action initiatives, including human rights, social equity, gender equality, and participatory development. It outlines strategies for empowering communities and advocating for their needs through community mobilization, leadership, formal organization, stakeholder engagement, needs assessments, and strategic planning. The importance of commitment and action in participatory development is emphasized. Different forms of participation are described, with empowerment participation seen as most effective for achieving community initiatives. Factors to consider in assessing selected community action initiatives are their alignment with community values and goals.
Economic Globalization
This document discusses various aspects of economic globalization including:
- The definition and drivers of globalization including international trade, investment, and information technology.
- The role of institutions like the IMF, World Bank, WTO, OECD in establishing rules and frameworks to facilitate global economic cooperation and expansion.
- The debate around protectionism versus free trade and how nations approach economic integration.
- Both the potential advantages of economic globalization like increased trade, growth, and standards of living as well as disadvantages such as impacts on small businesses, global warming, and worker exploitation.
Unit 3: Global Networks: Labor and Migration
Globalization has integrated economies around the world through increased trade and capital flows. It aims to standardize income distribution, but also has advantages and disadvantages. Migration, both internal and external, is closely related to globalization as people move in search of work. Approximately 20% of the Philippine workforce wants to migrate abroad for jobs, but some become victims of illegal recruitment or human trafficking. Migration can be forced due to environmental factors like natural disasters linked to climate change, or be voluntary due to pull factors like better economic opportunities. Climate change is projected to displace up to 250 million people permanently over the coming decades through events like floods, droughts and hurricanes.
Preventing Common Human Induced Disasters
The document discusses various types of weapons of mass destruction including nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological weapons. It provides details on nuclear weapons such as atomic bombs which use nuclear fission and hydrogen bombs which use nuclear fusion. It also discusses chemical weapons and references the deadly Bhopal gas tragedy. The document outlines various mitigation strategies communities can take to reduce risks from industrial accidents involving hazardous chemicals, including hazard mapping, land use planning, community preparedness, and other measures. It also briefly discusses biological weapons and their covert nature.

Man made disaster
Man-made disasters are caused by human intent, negligence or error. They can be intentional or unintentional and result in loss of life and property as well as long-term psychological impacts. Examples include transportation accidents involving aviation, rail or road travel due to neglect. Common causes are weapons, chemicals that are carelessly handled, ignorance, and illiteracy. Precautions must be taken for different types of disasters like keeping protected from nuclear radiation, avoiding chemical areas, and preventing electrical fires. The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a coordinated terrorist attack across Mumbai that killed 173 people and wounded 308 over four days through shootings and bombings at various locations including train stations, hotels, and a Jewish community center.
Man made disasters
The document discusses the Chernobyl disaster, the worst man-made disaster in history. On April 26, 1986, a explosion occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The explosion was caused by operator error during a safety test which allowed the reactor power to rapidly increase out of control. This caused a fire and the nuclear reactor core was exposed, releasing massive amounts of radiation. Nearby cities had to be evacuated and large areas became uninhabitable for decades due to high radiation levels. The disaster directly caused dozens of deaths and long term effects included many cases of thyroid cancer and other illnesses. Even today, the area around the plant is highly contaminated and will likely remain uninhabitable for over
Man made disasters
Man-made disasters are caused by technological or human factors and result from events like fires, transport accidents, industrial incidents, oil spills, nuclear explosions, and radiation. Examples of man-made disasters include stampedes, fires, transport accidents, industrial accidents, oil spills, nuclear explosions and radiation, and acts of war or terrorism. Precautions must be taken to prevent these events from occurring or mitigate the damage if they do, such as proper building wiring and containment of dangerous chemicals or nuclear materials.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Overview Presentation
The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico 1,500 meters below the surface and 66 km off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 workers. Over the next 36 hours, the rig burned and eventually sank, leaving a damaged wellhead that was leaking oil into the Gulf. For months, oil gushed from the wellhead at an estimated rate of up to 40,000 barrels per day, spreading across 1,500 square km of the Gulf and reaching the coasts of Louisiana, Florida, and elsewhere in the Gulf region due to ocean currents. The well was finally capped on July 15, over 80 days after the initial explosion.
Man made disasters
This document discusses various types of man-made disasters including nuclear accidents, chemical disasters, biological disasters, global warming, terrorist attacks, and pollution. It provides examples of specific nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. It also discusses the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy in India and the devastating impacts of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Throughout, it emphasizes that man-made disasters can have widespread and long-lasting effects on humanity through environmental degradation, weapons of mass destruction, and industrial accidents.

Formation of tornadoes story board higher - Use with BBC Animation
Tornadoes require certain conditions to form, particularly intense or seasonal heat. A visible cone or funnel forms within the clouds and extends downward towards the ground. While no two tornadoes are exactly alike, they share common formation traits involving heat and the development of a funnel from the clouds.
Fujita Tornado Intensity - Cartoon Storyboard
The document discusses the Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale which is used to rate the strength of tornadoes. The scale ranges from F0 to F5 with increasing numbers indicating stronger tornadoes and greater damage. Descriptions of damage for each rating on the scale are provided to help identify the strength of a tornado.

The document provides information about natural hazards, specifically tornadoes. It includes:
1) Objectives to learn where tornadoes strike most frequently, which areas are most affected, and how tornadoes are measured.
2) The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country and identifies states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas as areas that would be visited during tornado season.
3) Information on the Fujita scale, which is used to rate tornadoes from F0-F5 based on damage caused. A factsheet is created to show each level of the scale.
River Management in Toulouse - GCSE Geography Case Study
Case study for river flood defence strategies. Site is in French, suitable for most of my students as they have French as a second or first language. Google Translate may come in handy otherwise.

The document appears to be about the rules and questions for "The Frog & Rosbif Pub Quiz with Landlord Podbury". It contains 5 rounds of trivia questions covering topics like music, famous places, song lyrics, careers before fame, geographical features, and countries. The questions ask about artists, locations, capital cities, bodies of water, and a geographical term used in Australia. The document does not provide any information about where Podbury is located.
Year 7 Map Skills Test - Geography
The document appears to be a geography test on map skills for students in Year 7 at the International School of Toulouse. It contains 35 multiple choice and short answer questions testing students' abilities to interpret map symbols, use scales, calculate distances, find grid references, identify locations, and describe terrain features using contour lines. Students are instructed to refer to a laminated map of Cambridge and surrounding areas as they complete the test.
Grand Prix - Sports, Leisure & Tourism IB Geography
This document discusses analyzing social, cultural, economic, and political factors that affect participation and success in Formula One Grand Prix racing. It involves creating a graph of Formula One winners by continent to identify patterns in the origins of winning constructors and drivers from less economically developed and more economically developed countries. It also looks at the global pattern of Formula One circuits based on spectators from LEDCs and MEDCs, with specific comments on circuits in the Middle East and a LEDC.
Migration - IB Geography Labour Flows
Migration between Mexico and the United States is a complex issue with many causes and effects. Poverty and lack of opportunities in Mexico push many to migrate north, where there are more jobs and higher wages in the United States. However, illegal migration across the long border is a problem that costs both countries millions to address. While migrant workers benefit the US economy through their low-cost labor, they are also seen as drain and can cause social tensions. Remittances from migrants have become an important source of income for Mexico, but migration also creates imbalances like labor shortages and changes to family structure in Mexican towns.
Nevado del ruiz 1985
The 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia was made deadly due to secondary effects of the eruption. The eruption melted the ice cap atop the volcano, causing massive lahars or mudflows that buried the town of Armero, killing nearly 23,000 people. While the primary eruption was not particularly powerful, a lack of early warning and effective evacuation led to the large loss of life. Lessons from this disaster emphasized improving monitoring of volcanoes to better predict eruptions and evacuate threatened populations.
Venice case study - Information Sheet
To go side by side with the YouTube video. Not written by me, just discovered on the internet. Thanks to authors.
Venice translation sheet.
The document discusses several problems with tourism in Venice. It notes that most tourism is "bite and run" where visitors only stay briefly. This type of mass tourism overwhelms the city and its infrastructure. Locals struggle with overcrowded boats and streets, as well as disrespectful behavior from some tourists. Suggested solutions include implementing small ticket taxes to fund cleanliness, separating tourist and local boat transportation, and promoting less visited areas to spread tourists out. However, Venice must also support its declining local population and control the negative impacts of its popularity and dependence on tourism.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
