Sociology is the study of people in groups and societies. A society is composed of social actions within a group of people who share a culture, geography, time period, and relative autonomy. To understand a society, one must first understand its culture. Culture is learned through socialization and is shared among members of a group. It has both material and non-material aspects that meet human needs in diverse ways. Cultural change occurs over time in response to various factors, but change may happen at different rates than shifts in material culture.
81st ICREA Colloquium "Two Perspectives on the Relation between Philosophy an...Mayi Suárez
Casal and Sturm present two different ways in which philosophy relates to science. Sturm begins by sketching “philosophical naturalism”, a view that tries to answer philosophical questions employing methods and data from the empirical sciences. He then analyses the ongoing debate between the “heuristics and biases” approach and the “bounded rationality” program in order to assess the potential of naturalizing rationality, and its limits. Casal turns to ethics. Ethics is a branch of philosophy usually divided in three levels: metaethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. Casal focuses on the relevance of scientific findings, particularly in evolutionary biology, to major controversies in all these levels.

"We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native language. The categories and types that
we isolate from the world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer
in the face; on the contrary, the world is presented in a kaleidoscope flux of impressions which
has to be organized by our minds — and this means largely by the linguistic systems of our
minds. We cut nature up, organize it into concepts, and ascribe significances as we do, largely
because we are parties to an agreement to organize it in this way— an agreement that holds
throughout our speech community and is codified in the patterns of our language […] all
observers are not led by the same physical evidence to the same picture of the universe, unless
their linguistic backgrounds are similar, or can in some way be calibrated.”

1) There is currently an epidemic of anxiety in this country. The Confucius approach would likely be to implement more education and more music into our society to rectify this disharmony. Seeing as anxiety represents the body or mind in a state of alarm- Confucianism would settle to find the source of this uneasiness and set it into harmony. However, a daoist solution might be to stop trying to cure the state of your being and instead allow it to just exist and listen to what these feelings are telling you. Representing this "creative letting-be" would be halting all attempts to mend disrepair and instead allowing the universe to play out as intended. "Repose, tranquility, stillness, inaction- there were the source of all things. Keep this in mind when coming forward to pacify a troubled world, and your merit shall be great and your name illustrious, and the empire united into one" (Perusal Conf.DaoismWWSelection). By pausing all intensive searches for the answer, the solution will find you be simply returning to the source. Both Confucianism and Daoism play deeply into the idea of looking to the past for the answer- and in this passage of Daoist theory, one can take note of the original "past," as it were, of complete tranquility and of therefore, achieving a state of calm with acceptance of the natural order of things.
2) I do not agree that humans are like warped wood. It seems to me that humans are more neutral.

It is vain for mankind to think we were endowed with a certain expectation and intention that differs from any other creature that has touched this earth. What is goodness? Whatever serves our species because
we
made it up. There is no divine moral final stop that tells us life is definitively sacred. Life is sacred because
we
say it is,
probably
because we are alive. "The world is sacred. It can’t be improved (WW Ch. 4)." The Tao states that the real, eternal force is unchanging and that any attempts to shake it's balance are ones made in vain. Humans are a lot like this; we have a set practice of our real needs and intentions and any attempt to shove them aside or just ignore them are unhelpful because they will simply just reemerge.
3) I have been most surprised by the influence of religion and religious practice in each society- some of them even involving human sacrifice which indicates such an attachment and connection to their beliefs. I've always been fascinated by religion and by people's ability and willingness to follow a faith that lacks all reason, evidence, or logic. Of course, before such scientific revelations, it follows that early societies may be far more inclined to lean on a narrative providing an explanation for their observable surroundings. However, the extent to which each culture went about appraising its own belief system (often contrasting with the ones before or around it) truly brought m.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Society is the Sociology is the study of
largest form of
group people in groups
Sociology is a way to think
about social action
Society is composed of social
actions with a group of
people who share
Culture
(and related subcultures)
Defined geography
A Specific time period
And are relatively autonomous
4. Where does culture come
from? Culture is handed down to us
through the process of
socialization.
Learning a culture is also called
aculturalization
Culture is learned
The ability to have culture is
biological but the specific culture
is learned
We are constantly socialized
We are always learning more
about our culture
Culture is shared
No one has their “own culture”
Always shared with someone
5. Culture has a material
basis
We use material “things” to support ourselves
and survive
Culture is limited by our ability to
Obtain material goods or the resources to make them
Use material goods in settings for which they were not
designed
Culture adjusts to new uses of environmental
resources through
Material change …Technology (technological change)
And through non-material adaptation (ideological
change)
6. Culture has a
non-material
basis
Knowledge
Ideas
Skills
Organized into
Philosophies

7. Different cultures meet the
same needs differently
Cultural Universals
Every culture must provide a set of routine behaviors
that make it possible for the people in the culture to
meet their human needs.
George Murdock, an Anthropologist, compiled a list of 72
areas that are addressed by all cultures.
He found great diversity in the way in which cultures
handled the same area of human need, emotion or
behavior
Importantly, he believes that all cultures do address all these
areas; these areas of culture are the cultural Universals
8. The “Universals”
age-grading hygiene postnatal care
ethics pregnancy usages
athletic sports incest taboos
bodily adornment ethno-botany inheritance rules property rights
calendar etiquette joking propitiation of
supernatural beings
cleanliness training faith healing kin groups
puberty customs

9. The same culture often meets the
same need differently at
different times and places
Cultural Resources Matter
Change
Materialism
Obviously time can
bring new Marx (who controls materials)
technologies and
techniques to solve Diamond (geographic luck)
old problems. Lenski (technology drives change)
But it may be that
ideas will change as Ideas Matter
well. This results in
changes in the social Beliefs
rules and
expectations.
Weber (Protestant Ethic)
10. Culture change
Culture Lag The rate of change can be
Sometimes culture very slow or very fast… or
changes faster than
people within the anywhere in between
culture can keep Culture changes in response to

Population changes
When non-

falls behind Resource changes
material culture it is Discovery, Innovation, Invention

11. Language
Sapir-Whorf
Hypothesis
The words that a culture
uses transmit more than
communication, they
transmit the values, what
is good/bad; right/wrong;
important/not important.
Language shapes not
only what we say, but
how we think about the The Rosetta Stone,
world. written in 3 languages
Learning a new language provide a clue to the
involves learning how the translation of
culture perceives reality, hierogyphics
in fact how it defines and
constructs what is real.
12. Dominant Ideology
Cultural Two views
Conflict Theory
beliefs that
This term is defined as the conflict
help to theorists see it
maintain Ideas that provide advantage to the
powerful and disadvantage to the less

Ex: bank policies

“Strong values” (i.e. dominant
ideology) provides the needed
agreement
Everyone benefits when we all agree
