http://www.sociology.org.uk/lacult.htm

Extractions: A-Level Links Culture and Identity General What is Culture The Stanford Prison Experiment Part of the GenEd site, this particular part focuses on a range of topics related to all aspects of the concept of culture - from basic definitions, through areas such as high and low culture to current debates on the nature and significance of culture in American society. It's a site aimed at undergraduate level, so you may have to pick-and-choose your way through the available information. The hard-to-read "black-on-grey-paper" design notwithstanding (now, there's a cultural argument if ever I saw one...), this is site that's worth browsing. Better known to most people (especially after the recent TV programme) as the " Zimbardo Experiment " - which tried to discover, in the words of the site: " What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph?". The site is a neat mixture of informative text photographs and short video clips relating to the experiment (plus useful "discussion questions") which can be used as a teaching tool to stimulate discussion / exploration in a range of Specification areas.

Extractions: The Sociology and Culture of Music One of the things that surprised me when I was compiling this site was the number of dull, dry, academic books in which all the excitement of music was reduced to Foucaultian jargon for the edification of college students. The impetus for this kind of writing seems to have come from England, where the social implications of music are taken far more seriously, and a whole subgenre called Cultural Studies was spawned around these analyses of pop, by Simon Frith and his cadre. There was a spate of books following the Mods and other Sixties trends in the UK (the only US equivalent being the ravings of Christians who saw communism attacking our kids thru folk, then the Beatles, folk-rock, and so on; a fascinating field unto itself, though not exactly academic sociology), but the genre really took off in the wake of Punk (a similar movement in the U.S. was represented (though self-defined more as 'musicology' than 'sociology') by the late R. Serge Denisoff and his colleagues (particularly Wiliam Schurk and Gary Burns) at Bowling Green State University , where it all began in the late '60s with "Dylanology"or possibly with "

http://ebtx.com/pgv/pgv12.htm

Extractions: and Economics History H istory is the chronicle of large scale changes made in civilization. What happens to individuals with respect to civilization is called 'news'. Of course major things that happen in an individuals' life constitute his history and minor things his news . This is not the subject here. We can lay out a picture of history as in the above. Here the graph should continue asymtotically in both the left and right directions about a mile given the width of the hu-man phase. As you can guess animals become men by going through a phase known as history and contrary to what you may presently believe, history is a rather brief period lasting for perhaps 50,000 years. That is very brief indeed when compared to the time animals have been around (hundreds of millions of years) and the time man will be around (more hundreds of millions). When I say history ends I don't mean it just up and disappears. It is gradually replaced by 'news'. Things happen but it doesn't make much difference globally or in the long run. We get to live out our lives in a special period. Life as it will be 100,000 years from now will not be substantially different than life as it will be 2 billion years from now.

What is sociology? and the society in which they must live our social behaviors,the institutions and culture we create, the way these things create us
http://www.ecok.edu/dept/socio/

Extractions: What is Sociology? It's About Us There are over 40,000 species of social animals on this planet - one of which is us. Sociologists seek to understand humans as social creatures, and the society in which they must live: our social behaviors, the institutions and culture we create, the way these things create us, the nature of social change, the problems societies and individuals have and how they are related to each other. It's a Science Anyone can try to guess how society works, or speculate on how to solve social problems. This is done all the time by different people. From classrooms to barrooms, and in the mass media, supposed experts and authorities offer simple solutions to complex problems. But Sociology is especially suited to answering tough questions about society because it is a science - an approach that tests proposed explanations by investigating facts from the real (social) world. In completing an education in sociology, you will learn what others have discovered, but also how to study society yourself. It's a Broad Field "The sociologist will occupy himself with matters that others regard as too sacred or as too distasteful for... investigation. He will find rewarding the company of priests or of prostitutes... He will be interested in the human interaction that goes with warfare or with great intellectual discoveries, but also in the relations between people employed in a restaurant or between a group of little girls playing with their dolls."

http://www.jahsonic.com/Sociology.html

Extractions: [jahsonic.com] [Next >>] Sociology Sociology studies the social rules and processes that bind, and separate, people not only as individuals, but as members of associations, groups, and institutions. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology If you're not a sociologist, the idea that taste has a sociology might seem strange. Taste seems so personal a matter, so subjective, and so tied up with our image of ourselves as mature people. Bourdieu sets out to demonstrate that there are social patterns in matters of taste, though, that tastes are connected to major social divisions like class and gender , divisions between provincials and cosmopolitans, and between the highly and poorly educated. Indeed, tastes are used in whole structures of judgement and whole processes of social distinction that produce substantial barriers between such social groups. Bourdieu's work should be read as a description of tastes and NOT an evaluation of them: he is not condemning the popular taste , and, if anything, his sympathies lie in exposing the falsely universal nature of elite tastes.

http://www.ablongman.com/html/henslintour/henslinchapter/ahead2.html

Extractions: When we refer to sexual orientation, two views come into conflict. The essentialist view is that we are born with a sexual orientation. This orientation develops from within us, much like a flower unfolds from a seed or a bulb. Depending on what you plant, you can only get a rose or a hyacinth. A rose does not learn to be a rose, and a hyacinth does not learn to be a hyacinth. So our sexual orientationwhich becomes the center of our sexual identityis inborn. We are born with a sexual desire for people of the opposite sex or for members of our own sex. Our sexual orientation is essential to what we are . We do learn how to express our sexuality according to social expectations; that is, we learn a role what society or some group expects of us because of what we arebut we already are that particular thing. Most sociologists reject this view in favor of the social constructionist view . In this view, represented especially by symbolic interactionists, we construct our sexual identity. We are not born homosexual (having sexual preference for members of one's own sex) or heterosexual (having sexual preference for members of the opposite sex); rather, we learn these sexual orientations. As we learn them, we come to think of ourselves in these terms; that is, we

http://www.ceu.hu/soc_ant/sociologyofknowledgeprint.htm

Extractions: Ideas have histories, and conceptual genealogies alone cannot explain why they are held to be true, rational, or objective by a given society or group at a given time. The sociology of knowledge (a term which first achieved currency in the 1920s) endeavors to identify systematic relationships, crudely speaking, between thought and society. It asks whether philosophies, political doctrines, theologies, and even scientific theories may be conditioned by particular configurations of social groups, and it usually assumes that the social structures in question are themselves historically evolving. How does one describe and account for the behavior of communities of experts? How do they produce a given form of knowledge? What kinds of institutions help make this knowledge possible? How is its authority sustained among non-experts? These are the kinds of questions sociologists of knowledge have struggled to answer. Assessment
Thoughts On The Historical Causes Of Secularization
though mostly about more personal things, such as professor of Urban Ministry andSociology of Religion are increasingly opting for godless cultural values.
http://ic.net/~erasmus/RAZ32.HTM

Extractions: Thoughts on the Historical Causes of Secularization Peter Berger, an eminent Lutheran sociologist, who specializes in the sociology of religion, discusses with great insight the crucial role which Protestantism played in the development of the radical secularization with which all serious Christians are plagued today, and from which society at large reels and staggers in moral turpitude: Protestantism may be described in terms of an immense shrinkage in the scope of the sacred in reality . . . The sacramental apparatus is reduced to a minimum and, even there, divested of its more numinous qualities. The miracle of the mass disappears altogether . . . Protestantism ceased praying for the dead . . . [and] divested itself as much as possible from the three most ancient and most powerful concomitants of the sacred - mystery, miracle, and magic . . . The Protestant believer no longer lives in a world ongoingly penetrated by sacred beings and forces. Reality is polarized between a radically transcendent divinity and a radically 'fallen' humanity that, 'ipso facto,' is devoid of sacred qualities . . . The Catholic lives in a world in which the sacred is mediated to him through a variety of channels - the sacraments . . . intercession of the saints . . . a vast continuity of being between the seen and the unseen. Protestantism abolished most of these mediations. It broke the continuity, cut the umbilical cord between heaven and earth, and thereby threw man back upon himself in a historically unprecedented manner . . . It narrowed man's relationship to the sacred to the one . . . channel that it called God's word . . . - the 'sola gratia' of the Lutheran confessions . . . It needed only the cutting of this one narrow channel of mediation, though, to open the floodgates of secularization . . .

Extractions: Undergraduate Degrees in Cultural Studies The programme for the single honours Cultural Studies degree is as follows. Course Structure Part I (your first year) You take the Studying Modern Culture module, which introduces the subject matter and perspectives of Cultural Studies. If you are Single Honours, you also take the Sociology module, and you then have a choice of two other modules from the wide selection available in Humanities and Social Sciences; at least one should be from the former. If you are Joint Honours, you take the required module(s) for your other subject, and then have a free choice for the remaining module(s). Studying Modern Culture The aim of this module is to introduce you to the distinctive approach of the subject by focusing on 'modern culture' itself, its contemporary dynamics and its past development, and asking why it has become so prominent as a topic for academic study. Case studies will be used to raise issues of culture, representation and identity (including subcultures and transgressive identities); 'culture wars' (issues of art, taste, and 'mass culture'); modernism and the relation between experience, representation and the arts; notions of 'image' and 'text' and the cultural circuit (culture as media); and current developments and possibilities (technology, culture and cyberspace).
