Microsociological Theories of Communication

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Taking into consideration the developing path of the sociology in the 20th century, this book in its spotlight contains the separation of the communication as an issue of scientific interest of the sociology. Using the theory of social action as a basis for analysis of communication, this book represents the most important microsociological theories of communication: the theory of the social interactionism, the phenomenology, the ethomethodology, the theory of the social constructionism, the dramaturgic theory and the theory of the communicative action. Common thread of all these theories is the consideration of the social action as a basis for communication, whereas each of the pointed theories differently defines the social action, thus the communication as a social action. At the same time dedicating to the research of the communication, these theories offer the transfer from analysis of the meaning of the social action which the theory of the social action offered as a perspective, to mutual understanding of the social actors which the analysis of the communication opened as a perspective. ····· 1036188475

Studies in Labor Migration

New Settlers, New Transnationals

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book is concerned with the experiences of acculturation, settlement and ethnic identity formation of a special cohort of migrants to New Zealand: members of the 1.5 generation, who migrated from East Asia as children of highly-skilled, well-educated migrant parents. Advocating a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods as a particularly effective way of `doing sociology`, the research explores the meanings, motives and aspirations of migrant adolescents. It addresses their perceptions and assignments of meaning with regard to their own ethnic identity as members of the 1.5 generation, their sense of belonging and the social distance between themselves and others in New Zealand society their acculturation experiences and strategies their relationships with their parents and other family members and their engagement with the wider community. The experiences of this `in-between` population confounds conventional explantions of migrant adjustment and settlement, and instead point towards new forms of intergenerational transnationalism. ····· 1036188154

Migrant Networks in Thailand and Malaysia

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book is a very informative study of Nayu workers, who are Thai Muslims in the Thai Deep South migrating for employments in the Tom Yam restaurants in Malaysia. It is one of the pioneering research projects on this migration flow across Thai-Malaysian borders. This migration trajectory has a wide range of socioeconomic, political, religious and international implication. Suttiporn deserves a credit for his scholarly vision and efforts. The stength of this study is its ethnographically grounded and descriptive accounts of the migrant networks of irregular Nayu workers from the Thai Deep South being employed in the Tom Yam restaurants in Malaysia. The findings from his research contribute strongly to scholarship in the field of migration studies in the region as well as provide detailed and engaged knowledge on the work and life of Nayu migrant workers, which are rarely research projects focusing on this group of young Thai Muslims as border-crossing migrants. ····· 1036188091

Socio-Cultural Practices and HIV/AIDS in Kallu District, Ethiopia

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
HIV is a prominent problem in many developing countries. It has been believed and recognized as the most serious health, social, political and economic crisis of human history. Particularly, the pandemic has severely affected sub-Saharan Africa and hindered the progress of the region in various ways. In Ethiopia, nearly 85% of the population lives in rural areas where the prevalence rate of HIV infection is increasing. An attempt to reduce the HIV prevalence rate in such groups needs to consider the socio-cultural context of the community. Various justifications have been offered by the community for the observance of socio- cultural practices. Some of them justified the practice with their own religious views, while others accepted it as a cultural norm and value. However, some socio-cultural practices are considered as potential factors for the transmission of HIV. If one of the practitioners is inevitably infected with the virus, the other would also be infected. Moreover, poverty, seasonal migration, and gender inequality are also mentioned as the most important factors for the transmission of the virus. ····· 1036188074

Friendship Networks In Medical School

für 37.71€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This study of medical students and their close friendships takes a network analytic approach. Using measures of knittedness and relative centrality, over time relative centrality increases and is associated with positive change in values and orientations favoring inclusiveness, breadth of perspective, positive commitment to ethics and self confidence. This study was one of the earliest to use Linton C. Freeman`s (1977 1979) indicator of total graph centrality. The other indicator of network structure, knittedness, anticipates solidarity and unity more than flexibility and broadening of perspectives. --It does not disappear as relative centrality emerges. In other network research, knittedness is typically associated with reaching a criterion or accomplishing practical goals. These findings place the present work with other sociological research examining the relationship between informal bonds and internalization of values important to attachment and identification processes in professional socialization. ····· 1036188065

The Military in Turkey from a Gender Perspective

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
One of the aims of this study is to examine within a historical perspective the recruitment of women into the Turkish Military and the factors that affected the process. Women and men have similar motivations for enrolling in the military academies. However, their experiences in this institution differ from each other significantly. Because, women are the minority group in terms of their educational and occupational life, they have problems in the military academy and in the military institution in general. Their problems derive basically from being the minority sex in a masculinist institution. They have gender related, high visibility and solidarity problems. Besides, women face discrimination in the military institution such as discriminatory attitudes of men, occupational gender discrimination and glass ceiling is effective for the women in the military. There is not very much difference in the experiences of women from the different generations in the Turkish Military and they develop different strategies to overcome these problems that they face in the institution. ····· 1036187917

Symbols of Kinship Identity

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This study is a part of my broader interest in traditional Hindu culture. It is influenced by the recent trends in the study of kinship, marriage and rituals in Sociology and Social-Anthropologyfrom the point of view of individual families, this study shows that marriage negotiation and marriage settlement occupies a much important place than marriage rituals, because Hindu marriage is settled for the whole life and once marriage rituals are performed nothing can be done to revoke it. Therefore, every possible attempt is made to select the best available match for a bride or a groom. There is intrinsic relationship between Astrological beliefs and other beliefs related with Hindu marriage and together these beliefs express some of the important aspects of Hindu cosmology.from the Hindu perspective, reality is not given, rather it is made during ritual context and Marriage ritual acts as a paradigm for all other rites at the domestic level.Without a proper study of ritual symbols, kinship identity of men and women cannot be understood properly because outside the symbolic domain of rituals, there is no recognisable reality of kinship identity. ····· 1036187897

Space, Gender and Identity Construction in Student Hostels

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Social spaces have become crucial avenues of gender identity construction and reconstruction. Research indicates that physical space provides contexts within which social order is constructed and reproduced reflecting ideals and realities about relationships between women and men. This study notes that increased access to higher education has created such accommodation spaces through which the latter social relations generate new identities for female and male students as they adjust to new institutional rules, norms and expectations. The study notes that the 1990 institutional reforms at Makerere University immensely contributed to higher numbers of students particularly females at the university. Without similar increase in student accommodation structures by the University, there was excessive demand for accommodation space unlike the previous decades thus mushrooming of hostels that offer off campus accommodation. ····· 1036187830

Sexual Abuse in Ghanaian Schools

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book takes a look at the Ghanaian children s perceptions of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). Sexual abuse/assault is a phenomenon whose scope transcends generations and whose victims are being increasingly found among society`s most vulnerable populations. Several studies that have been published on the issue have discussed the rate, pervasiveness, prevalence, and nature of child sexual abuse. This book is exceptional in the sense that it investigates Ghanaian children`s perceptions of, and knowledge about sexual abuse. It also tries to determine how capable the children are in their ability to identify potential perpetrators and the actions they can take in the event that it happens to them, their friends or their relatives. This is a seminal study because it was conducted in an environment that still supports the notion that children should be seen and not heard and where issues bordering on sexuality is taboo. ····· 1036187686

Neighbourliness is a two fold concept. On the one hand, there is what will be called manifest neighbourliness . This is characterised by overt forms of social relationships, such as mutual visiting and going out for purposes of pleasure.

Women`s Representation in the Era of Decentralisation

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The issue of women has been very complex when it comes to representation and decentralisation of power by governments in democratically organised societies. International organisations, such as the United Nations, are putting pressure for gender equality to be addressed at the local government level, closer to the people. Studies have shown that women participate in greater numbers in local governments to fight against under-representation in decision-making processes (Hassim, 2005). However, this is not the case in every country, due to religious, political and cultural influences. This study attempts to address gender inequality issues at the local government level in South Africa. The overall objective of the study is to investigate women s representation and participation at Msunduzi Municipality. Also, the study explores how women councillors are gaining support from other stakeholders in terms of addressing gender issues. Barriers and challenges women councillors are facing, and factors contributing to successful representation at the local government level are identified. ····· 1036187519

The Dynamics of Rural-Urban Migration in Ethiopia

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Rural-urban migration has been the basic factor for population growth of Ethiopian urban centres. The country s rate of rural-urban migration has been showing a linear increase from time to time particularly since the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century. Consequently, urban population growth, in the absence of corresponding economic growth, has already become a great problem for Ethiopia. Rural-urban migration has been conditioned by the interplay of different factors which operate at different levels. There are individual or houshold level factors as there are institutional or structural fators at national and international levels. This book dicusses the multi-determinants of rural-urban migration in Ethiopia in relation to the existing theories or paradigms on rural-urban migration. As it sheds considerable light on many salient but yet unnoticed issues of rural-urban migration, the analysis in this work can serve policy makers and development planners to be caucious in their approaches to rural-urban migration. ····· 1036187494

Tolerance, Intolerance, Identity:

It is hardly necessary to repeat that due to globalization and the expansion of contacts of peoples and cultures in today`s world, the relevance of intercultural studies increases. In what ways mathematics can help in such a study Mathematics has accumulated vast experience in creating and studying models of different phenomena, which is based on investigation of quantitative relations between the various values characterizing the phenomenon and on revealing the laws based on mentioned relations of this characteristics changes. However, for successful application of the mathematical modeling methods, the subject area of the study has to be greatly simplified by abstracting from many inherent specific details. In the study presented, from all the aspects of such complex phenomenon as a culture, we`ll choose two - tolerance and intolerance in attitude to other culture. Under the abstraction proposed, we will describe the cultures` interaction with the help of competition equations, known since the times of A. Lotka and V. Volterra. This approach yields some formal findings, which may be of interest as for scholars of intercultural relations either for all interested in this problem. ····· 1036187284

Induced abortion is a deliberate termination of pregnancy. It is utilized to end an already established pregnancy. It is criminal to induce abortion in Nigeria unless there are evidence that the health of the mother is seriously at risk. Unsafe abortion is therefore an alternative to end unwanted pregnancy.

The study was carried out in Ilesa East Local Government to document the prevalence of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion, and the male partners involvement in abortion decision making process. Four hundred respondents were covered, representing one hundred each for married and unmarried male and female sexes.

Paradigms of Irishness for Young People in Dublin

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The history of Ireland highlights how Irish identity has proved to be both an emotive and divisive force in Irish society. Events in both pre and post-independent Ireland point out how central Irishness has been within Irish society and also highlights how a sense of national identity has often been assumed as shared, natural and fundamentally taken for granted. Accepting that hegemonic understandings of Irishness change, so in 1900 when Ireland was of course part of the United Kingdom the dominant sense of Irishness may differ to that of 1971 or 2004, there can be no avoiding the position that people in Ireland remain firmly socialised through a discourse of nationalised identity. The aim of this book is to investigate how young people engage with this nationalised identity and position their own self-understandings of Irishness. ····· 1036186729

Visual Representations:

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Visual Representations: The Technical and Social Production of Photographic Images, takes the still camera as its ethnographic object of inquiry to show how the technical may not necessarily be seen as the specific and the objective resting on a particularity. Privileging the domain of the visual through its construction and representation, this work attempts to thwart the assumption that the technical occupies the domain of objectivity while the social lies in the realm of generality. Moving beyond this assumption this work in fact reveals that the technical in meeting the demands of the social constantly shifts its own deterministic principles and changes its own conditions of specificity. The central argument then being that the technical in its essence is based on universality and the social having demanded these changes of the technical actually rests on a specific particularity. The realm of the visual, constantly traverses the terrain of the technical and the social and ought to be seen as both at the same time a technical process as well as a social signature which collapses the boundary between the instrumental and the expressive, the material and the symbolic. ····· 1036186660
