Workplace Violence in Nursing Discussion.docx
Workplace violence in nursing is a current issue that can be examined through three main sociological perspectives. The functionalist perspective views violence as disrupting social order and stability in healthcare settings. The conflict perspective sees violence as a power struggle between groups competing for limited resources. The symbolic interactionist perspective analyzes how communication and symbols between nurses and patients can escalate tensions and lead to violence. Understanding this issue through different theoretical frameworks provides insight into its causes and potential solutions.

Introduction
Sociologists use theory to study society. In science, theory is used to develop a deeper understanding of the universe. Although abstract, sociologists use theory to expand on original ideas and develop practical solutions to problems. In sociology, there are three main sociological theories or perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist. Each of these perspectives has a distinct worldview, or interpretation, of the social world and human interaction:
The
functionalist perspective
presents the world as a system of inter-related parts, where all parts must work together for society to function.
For example, if we looked at sports teams, the functionalist perspective would argue that sports teams serve a purpose for society. They have a particular utility that helps society function properly. What purpose do sports teams have? Do they provide us with entertainment? Some people with jobs? Do they help to form a bond between people who otherwise would not be connected? The functionalist perspective would see all of these reasons as important functions of sports teams.
The
conflict perspective
disagrees, seeing society as an arena made up of groups competing over scarce resources in which there are issues of power and structural inequality.
The conflict perspective would see sports teams as groups competing over scarce resources. Those resources may be a title, fans, finances, or athletes. With this struggle between teams, some come out on top and others at the bottom. Thus, there is inherently inequality in sports teams.
Symbolic interactionism
examines the symbols and social meanings we attach to individuals, behavior, objects, or interaction in face-to-face exchanges on a daily basis. The focus is more microcosmic than that of both functionalism and conflict perspective.
Since the symbolic interactionist perspective is a micro-level perspective it will look at the interactions that go on between individuals and small groups in sports teams. Are there symbols that exist between players on teams? Think of the gestures that are used by baseball players as an example. This perspective also looks at how communication differs for people on sports teams than it does for those in other groups. In football, for example, tackling is an acceptable form of interaction. That is not the case in an office setting.
As you can see, each of these three perspectives proposes a framework for interpreting encountered social phenomenon.

Youve probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of th.docx
You've probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of the chapter's topic using each of the three main sociological paradigms, right? Well, now it's your turn! For this paper, you will need to select a social issue from the list below and analyze it from the perspective of a Structural Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist. Then you'll conclude your paper with an evaluation of the relevance / helpfulness of each perspective for understanding your chosen social issue.
Functionalism is a macro-level theory that looks at the different structures of society like organs in the body - a bunch of different parts working together to maintain the equilibrium of the whole. When functionalists look at an enduring aspect of society, they think, "What is its purpose? What function does this serve?" The functionalism paradigm seeks to understand how all aspects of society, even those that may seem negative or harmful, contribute to the continuity of society, so this perspective tends to bring an optimistic point of view of to social issues.
Conflict theory also takes a macro-level view of society, but this perspective tends to bring a more pessimistic point of view to social issues. Conflict theorists see the world as divided into two groups: a dominant group and a subordinate group. These two groups are in constant conflict, competition, or struggle over control of power and resources, but the dominant group puts structures and institutions in place to maintain control of these resources. The father of conflict theory, Karl Marx, defined the dominant and subordinate group by economic conditions, but more contemporary adaptations of conflict theory define the dominant and subordinate groups along other dimensions. For example, feminist theory defines these groups by gender and critical race theory by race and ethnicity. Regardless of the dimension used to define the dominant and subordinate groups, conflict theorists are interested in analyzing the social forces that maintain inequalities (usually with an eye toward dismantling and changing those systems).
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory, so the type of analysis performed using this perspective will look very different from the macro-level theories above. Symbolic interactionists are interested in interactions and communication between individuals and small groups. Communication, in all its various forms (writing, singing, painting), is a series of symbols, and proponents of this perspective are interested in understanding how we make sense of these symbols and the world around us. How do we imbue meaning and value into these symbols? How do these meanings and values shape how we see the world? How are these meanings and values shared through interaction? How are they changed through interactions?
These three paradigms are like different lenses you can put on (and take off) to see the world. Although they may be used to observe the same socia.
THE PURPOSE Knowledge After completing this assignment, .docx
THE PURPOSE:
Knowledge:
After completing this assignment, you will understand:
1) The scope and diversity of psychology as a discipline.
2) How psychologists working from different philosophical and theoretical perspectives make different
contributions to our understanding of particular psychological topics.
Skills:
After completing this assignment, you will be able to:
1) Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various explanations for your topic.
2) Explain how the Integration and/or competition between explanations from various perspectives helps
psychology advance our understanding of human behavior and mental processing.
YOUR TASK:
Your task is to select ONE psychological topic you find particularly interesting. This may be a topic we have covered in
the course or a psychological topic we have not covered. You will then examine this topic from three different
philosophical or theoretical perspectives within psychology. For example, you could examine your topic from any of the
following philosophical perspectives: physiological, behavioral, cognitive, social, humanistic, evolutionary,
psychoanalytic, etc). Alternatively, you could opt to examine your topic more specifically using three different theories,
which may or may not differ in their philosophical perspectives. For example, imagine that you choose “bullying” as
your topic. You could examine how bullying is explained from a biological, behavioral, and social perspective (three
different philosophical perspectives). Alternatively, you could choose to examine how three different theories attempt
to explain bullying. Two of these theories might be theories from a “social” perspective and one might be a theory from
a “biological” perspective.
In either case, you must utilize and cite original sources for those perspectives in your analysis/discussion. This means
that you must research your topic to find three different explanations for your topic. Your analysis cannot be based on
personal opinion alone.
Write-up: Your write-up should begin with a general overview of your topic and the reasons why it is particularly
interesting or relevant to you. This introduction should be followed by an analysis of your topic from three different
philosophical or theoretical perspectives. Your analysis should demonstrate a general understanding of your topic and
the fundamental principles used by each philosophical or theoretical perspective to explain that topic (using at least
three academic sources outside of your textbook as source material). In addition, you should discuss whether the
explanations offered by the different perspectives are complimentary to one another or contradict one another. Finally,
your analysis should include your own personal reflection of these perspectives and an informed assessment of what
you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each based on your research of them.

Learning Activity #1Using the company you selected for the.docx
This discussion prompt asks students to identify, define, and describe a situation applying the three dominant ethical theories in Western philosophy: utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Students are expected to post their initial response by Thursday and respond to classmates' posts by Monday to demonstrate their understanding of these theories.
Theoretical Perspectives Used By Sociologists
There are five main theoretical perspectives used in sociology: symbolic interactionism, rational choice theory, structural functionalism, social conflict theory, and feminist theory. Each of these theories can be used to explain the actions of family members shown in a video of a family dinner. Symbolic interactionism posits that people communicate and act according to the norms of their social group. Family members carry out their roles, like the daughter setting the table and the mother cooking, which have been established over many years.
The Sociological Perspective
Structural functionalism views crime as serving functions for society, such as creating social change. Conflict theory sees crime as a result of economic and social inequality between classes. Symbolic interactionism focuses on how criminal identities and behaviors develop through social interactions and the meanings attached to criminal acts. Together these perspectives provide a multifaceted understanding of the complex social forces that influence crime rates.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior. Professionals i.docx
Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior. Professionals in the field apply a sociological lens to examine various influences on society in order to better understand current and historical behaviors. This perspective assists professionals in examining various social structures and institutions, which are systems in society that influence human behavior, to inform their understanding of groups as well as daily interactions with diverse viewpoints. For this project, you will examine a contemporary social issue using your sociological lens. You will create a concept map, breaking the social issue that you have chosen into smaller pieces related to certain sociological concepts, describe the relationship of the concepts and smaller pieces to the social issue, and explain how the sociological concepts help you better understand the social issue. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final concept map and paper will be submitted in Module Seven. In this assignment you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Explain cultural beliefs and biases utilizing a sociological lens . Explain the influences that shape the creation of roles within society utilizing real-world examples . Draw basic connections between social inequalities and human behavior . Identify the relationship between social change and contemporary social problems through the application of basic sociological concepts Prompt You will begin by selecting your own contemporary social issue to use as the base of your project. You may use an issue from the list provided below or choose an issue of interest to you that you find in the news or media, or perhaps one you encounter in your daily life. Bullying , Crime and violence ,Drug and alcohol abuse ,Income inequality and wealth distribution You will then create a concept map to break down your selected issue into supporting sociological concepts. These sociological concepts will include: Cultural beliefs and biases ,Social roles , Social inequalities , Existing social conditions You will also explain the relationship between the sociological concepts and the social issue, describing how the concept is present in the social issue. In paper format, you will explain how the connections you made in the map between the sociological concepts and the social issue helped you better understand the social issue. This is where you will demonstrate the importance of using a sociological view when examining social issues.

6 Theoretical Perspectives In Psychology
The document discusses six major theoretical perspectives in psychology: evolutionary, cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioral, sociocultural, and humanistic. It explains key aspects of each perspective, such as what they focus on and their views on topics like natural selection, how the mind processes information, the effects of unconscious desires on behavior, the impact of external factors like punishment and reward, social influences, and individual free will. The document also mentions that psychologists may use an eclectic approach combining multiple perspectives to study human behavior.
Introduction to FUNCTIONALISM
This document provides an introduction to the functionalist perspective of society. It explains that functionalism views society as a system of interconnected institutions that work together to maintain social order and solidarity. It describes how functionalists believe institutions like the family, government, economy, education and religion shape human behavior through formal and informal social control. The document gives examples of how different institutions could represent organs in the body to illustrate functionalism's view of society operating like a single organism. It outlines key concepts of functionalism and tasks for understanding and applying the functionalist perspective.
3rd lecture- Sociological perspectives and their applications on health 2020
The document discusses sociological perspectives on health and illness from three major theoretical perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. According to the functionalist perspective, health is important for society's stability as illness prevents people from fulfilling their social roles. The sick role concept developed by Talcott Parsons outlines the rights and obligations of those who are ill in a society. Conflict theory views health inequalities in terms of power struggles around factors like race, class, and gender. Symbolic interactionism focuses on how health, illness, and medicine are socially constructed and mediated by communication and symbols.

I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT
Institutionalized Inequalities Persists
Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous
factors
, including those
associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation
are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today).
People Make History
Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." (
Arundhati Roy)
Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change.
Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice
because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits).
Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to
legislation
(lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies),
litigation
(using the courts),
research
(the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists),
community organizing
(movement building; awareness-building;.
First writing assignmentWrite a narrative summary of your notes d.docx
First writing assignment:
Write a narrative summary of your notes describing what you experienced. Then,
explain how each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and social conflict) would analyze what you say.
Your description of your observation should represent about 50% of your paper and your
analysis another 50%,
divided evenly between the three perspectives. At the end of your paper, discuss which perspective you think is the best suited to analyze your observation and why you think so.
Short definitions:
Structural functionalism
= stability, survival, efficiency, predictability >> society
Conflict
= contradictions in society such as we are all equal but society is stratified (not equal) >> stress on members
Symbolic interaction
= meanings… how do we create meanings so that we can interact
Example:
Simple observation
: I see a homeless man sitting by the side of the road and someone stops and yells get a job.
Paradigm (theoretical approaches) Interpretations
:
Functionalism
: Economics is an important part of the society and provides jobs. Part of our non-material (values, ideas, ideology) culture rests on the idea of hard work. This man is failing his responsibility to the society.
Conflict
: Although we state we are an equal society, not everyone has the same life chances (Weber). Some events may have given this man less opportunity or some structures of society deny him opportunity. We should correct the contradictions and find a way to help this member of the society. However, others may argue that he has plenty of opportunity and is not trying (probably a functionalist).
Symbolic Interaction
: What symbols and meanings are in play? Why do I think one man is homeless? Dress? Demeanor? What symbols and meanings is the “yelling man” using? What does this tell me about myself and society? SI is about how we interpret our world. Culture (material and non-material) and socialization as well as social control are important contributors when we think, react, and behave.
Your observation paper should contain this type of analysis but to a greater degree.

Theories in social work
This document discusses the use of theories in social work education and practice. It notes that there are approximately 30 theories taught from other disciplines like psychology, sociology, economics, etc. but there is no consensus on a distinct "social work theory." Theories are grouped into broad categories but are taught discretely rather than as a coherent course. Some argue theories have limited value for the complex realities of social work practice while others believe theories should inform practice. The document examines different perspectives on clinical versus macro-level social work and criticisms that some theories have taken over practice rather than guided it.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.
Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior. Professionals i.docx
Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior. Professionals in the field apply a sociological lens to examine various influences on society in order to better understand current and historical behaviors. This perspective assists professionals in examining various social structures and institutions, which are systems in society that influence human behavior, to inform their understanding of groups as well as daily interactions with diverse viewpoints. For this project, you will examine a contemporary social issue using your sociological lens. You will create a concept map, breaking the social issue that you have chosen into smaller pieces related to certain sociological concepts, describe the relationship of the concepts and smaller pieces to the social issue, and explain how the sociological concepts help you better understand the social issue. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final concept map and paper will be submitted in Module Seven. In this assignment you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Explain cultural beliefs and biases utilizing a sociological lens . Explain the influences that shape the creation of roles within society utilizing real-world examples . Draw basic connections between social inequalities and human behavior . Identify the relationship between social change and contemporary social problems through the application of basic sociological concepts Prompt You will begin by selecting your own contemporary social issue to use as the base of your project. You may use an issue from the list provided below or choose an issue of interest to you that you find in the news or media, or perhaps one you encounter in your daily life. Bullying , Crime and violence ,Drug and alcohol abuse ,Income inequality and wealth distribution You will then create a concept map to break down your selected issue into supporting sociological concepts. These sociological concepts will include: Cultural beliefs and biases ,Social roles , Social inequalities , Existing social conditions You will also explain the relationship between the sociological concepts and the social issue, describing how the concept is present in the social issue. In paper format, you will explain how the connections you made in the map between the sociological concepts and the social issue helped you better understand the social issue. This is where you will demonstrate the importance of using a sociological view when examining social issues.

Introduction to FUNCTIONALISM
This document provides an introduction to the functionalist perspective of society. It explains that functionalism views society as a system of interconnected institutions that work together to maintain social order and solidarity. It describes how functionalists believe institutions like the family, government, economy, education and religion shape human behavior through formal and informal social control. The document gives examples of how different institutions could represent organs in the body to illustrate functionalism's view of society operating like a single organism. It outlines key concepts of functionalism and tasks for understanding and applying the functionalist perspective.
3rd lecture- Sociological perspectives and their applications on health 2020
The document discusses sociological perspectives on health and illness from three major theoretical perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. According to the functionalist perspective, health is important for society's stability as illness prevents people from fulfilling their social roles. The sick role concept developed by Talcott Parsons outlines the rights and obligations of those who are ill in a society. Conflict theory views health inequalities in terms of power struggles around factors like race, class, and gender. Symbolic interactionism focuses on how health, illness, and medicine are socially constructed and mediated by communication and symbols.

I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT
Institutionalized Inequalities Persists
Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous
factors
, including those
associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation
are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today).
People Make History
Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." (
Arundhati Roy)
Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change.
Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice
because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits).
Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to
legislation
(lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies),
litigation
(using the courts),
research
(the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists),
community organizing
(movement building; awareness-building;.
First writing assignmentWrite a narrative summary of your notes d.docx
First writing assignment:
Write a narrative summary of your notes describing what you experienced. Then,
explain how each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and social conflict) would analyze what you say.
Your description of your observation should represent about 50% of your paper and your
analysis another 50%,
divided evenly between the three perspectives. At the end of your paper, discuss which perspective you think is the best suited to analyze your observation and why you think so.
Short definitions:
Structural functionalism
= stability, survival, efficiency, predictability >> society
Conflict
= contradictions in society such as we are all equal but society is stratified (not equal) >> stress on members
Symbolic interaction
= meanings… how do we create meanings so that we can interact
Example:
Simple observation
: I see a homeless man sitting by the side of the road and someone stops and yells get a job.
Paradigm (theoretical approaches) Interpretations
:
Functionalism
: Economics is an important part of the society and provides jobs. Part of our non-material (values, ideas, ideology) culture rests on the idea of hard work. This man is failing his responsibility to the society.
Conflict
: Although we state we are an equal society, not everyone has the same life chances (Weber). Some events may have given this man less opportunity or some structures of society deny him opportunity. We should correct the contradictions and find a way to help this member of the society. However, others may argue that he has plenty of opportunity and is not trying (probably a functionalist).
Symbolic Interaction

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 1. Discussion: Workplace Violence in Nursing Discussion: Workplace Violence in NursingORDER HERE FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM- FREE PAPERS ON Discussion: Workplace Violence in NursingWrite a 2-3 page examination of an issue in your field using each of the three sociological perspectives.INTRODUCTIONSociologists use theory to study society. In science, theory is used to develop a deeper understanding of the universe. Although abstract, sociologists use theory to expand on original ideas and develop practical solutions to problems. In sociology, there are three main sociological theories or perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist. Each of these perspectives has a distinct worldview, or interpretation, of the social world and human interaction: Discussion: Workplace Violence in NursingThe functionalist perspective presents the world as a system of inter-related parts, where all parts must work together for society to function.For example, if we looked at sports teams, the functionalist perspective would argue that sports teams serve a purpose for society. They have a particular utility that helps society function properly. What purpose do sports teams have? Do they provide us with entertainment? Some people with jobs? Do they help to form a bond between people who otherwise would not be connected? The functionalist perspective would see all of these reasons as important functions of sports teams.The conflict perspective disagrees, seeing society as an arena made up of groups competing over scarce resources in which there are issues of power and structural inequality.The conflict perspective would see sports teams as groups competing over scarce resources. Those resources may be a title, fans, finances, or athletes. With this struggle between teams, some come out on top and others at the bottom. Thus, there is inherently inequality in sports teams.Symbolic interactionism examines the symbols and social meanings we attach to individuals, behavior, objects, or interaction in face-to-face exchanges on a daily basis. The focus is more microcosmic than that of both functionalism and conflict perspective.Since the symbolic interactionist perspective is a micro-level perspective it will look at the interactions that go on between individuals and small groups in sports teams. Are there symbols that exist between players on teams? Think of the gestures that are used by baseball players as an example. This perspective also looks at how communication differs for people on sports teams than it does for those in other groups. In football, for example, tackling is an acceptable form of interaction. That is not the case in an office setting.As you can see, each of these three perspectives proposes a framework for interpreting encountered social phenomenon.DEMONSTRATION OF PROFICIENCYBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the
- 2. following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1: Examine how theory and sociological concepts apply to everyday life.Describe a current issue or event related to the learner’s field.Examine an issue or event from the functionalist perspective.Examine an issue or event from the conflict perspective.Examine an issue or event from the symbolic interactionist perspective.Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.For this assessment, search the Internet or print resources for a popular (as opposed to scholarly) article concerning a larger issue or event that has occurred in the last six months to a year related to your field or the field you are considering working in (business, healthcare, technology, criminal justice, et cetera). For example, if your field of study is healthcare management, you could choose a recent article concerning the cost of prescription medicine. Discussion: Workplace Violence in NursingDELIVERABLESearch for a popular article (magazine or newspaper) about an issue or event related to your field of interest.Write an essay in which you complete all of the following:Part 1 – Describe a current event or issue related to your field (1-2 paragraphs).Describe the current event or issue objectively. What is the main issue?Part 2 – Examine this event or issue from the three sociological perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist.Address all three theories in your essay.Use at least two scholarly sources when explaining your theories.Examine how each perspective might explain or understand this event or issue.Use the article you’ve chosen to support your use of the perspectives and to provide examples to highlight theoretical ideas.It is expected that you use the vocabulary and concepts for each theory (for example, manifest and latent functions when discussing the functionalist perspective).ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTSWritten communication: Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.
