John Logie Baird standing next to his television transmitter of — A later article in Scientific American thought there might be some uses for television, but entertainment was not one of them. Other sociologists study the impact this growing international culture has on smaller, less- powerful local cultures. A receiver would be synchronized with the transmitter, reconstructing the original image line by line. A sociologist viewing food consumption through a symbolic interactionist lens would be more interested in micro-level topics, such as the symbolic use of food in religious rituals, or the role it plays in the social interaction of a family dinner. For some, the people they watch on a screen can become a primary group, meaning the small informal groups of people who are closest to them. The concept of scanning, which established the possibility of using only a single wire or channel for transmission of an entire image, became and remains to this day the basis of all television. According to this theory, conflicts that arise because of inequality are what foster social change. The Rules of Sociological Method , edited by J. Outline Index Category Portal. The basic normative question underlying elite theory is whether the relative power of any group ought to exceed its relative size. Even supposedly crowd-sourced sites like Yelp which aggregates local reviews are not immune to corporate shenanigans.

Sociologists develop theories to explain social events, interactions, and patterns. Prehistoric people turned to religion to help them understand birth, death, and natural events such as hurricanes. These three approaches are still the main foundation of modern sociological theory, but some evolution has been seen. Weber, M.

Just as structural functionalism was criticized for focusing too much on the stability of societies, conflict theory has been criticized because it tends to focus on conflict to the exclusion of recognizing stability.

Another founder of sociology, Max Weber, argued a century ago that the rise of Protestantism in turn led to the rise of capitalism.

  • Memorial Struggles and Power Strategies of the Rights in Latin America Today
    http://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n31.2019.01 Memorial struggles and power strategies of the rights in Latin America today Luchas memoriales y estrategias de poder de las derechas en América Latina hoy Verónica Giordano Teacher and Researcher UBA and CONICET [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7299-6984 Gina Paola Rodríguez Teacher and Researcher UNLPam and UBA [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1702-3386 Abstract Recently, right-wing forces of different origins and types have sprung up in Latin America. In this article, four countries are studied: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The first two correspond to cases in which the right-wing groups stand in opposition to the so-called progressive governments. The other two correspond to cases in which they stand in a political system with a strong continuity of predominance of right-wing forces. Since there are few studies with an overall perspective, this article seeks to make a contribution in that direction. The objective is to analyze the non-electoral strategies of construction and/ or exercise of power implemented by the right-wing groups around the memorial struggles. Based on the review of journalistic sources and speeches of the national right-wing referents, this article analyzes how current right-wing groups have proceeded to the institution of languages and the definition of a field of meanings that dispute the meaning of the recent past. From a comparative perspective, it is argued that in all four cases negationism offers an effective repertoire for these groups, which is used in their non- electoral (as well as electoral) strategies for building hegemony at the cultural level.

  • The Case of Croatian Wikipedia: Encyclopaedia of Knowledge Or Encyclopaedia for the Nation?
    The Case of Croatian Wikipedia: Encyclopaedia of Knowledge or Encyclopaedia for the Nation? 1 Authorial statement: This report represents the evaluation of the Croatian disinformation case by an external expert on the subject matter, who after conducting a thorough analysis of the Croatian community setting, provides three recommendations to address the ongoing challenges. The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation is publishing the report for transparency. Executive Summary Croatian Wikipedia (Hr.WP) has been struggling with content and conduct-related challenges, causing repeated concerns in the global volunteer community for more than a decade. With support of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, the Foundation retained an external expert to evaluate the challenges faced by the project. The evaluation, conducted between February and May 2021, sought to assess whether there have been organized attempts to introduce disinformation into Croatian Wikipedia and whether the project has been captured by ideologically driven users who are structurally misaligned with Wikipedia’s five pillars guiding the traditional editorial project setup of the Wikipedia projects. Croatian Wikipedia represents the Croatian standard variant of the Serbo-Croatian language. Unlike other pluricentric Wikipedia language projects, such as English, French, German, and Spanish, Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia’s community was split up into Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and the original Serbo-Croatian wikis starting in 2003. The report concludes that this structure enabled local language communities to sort by points of view on each project, often falling along political party lines in the respective regions.

Thesis Summary From serious violations of human rights, international law derives a set of consequences that fall to the responsible states. These consequences take the form of secondary obligations arising from primary rules and standards, which guide governments in the process of coming to terms with a violent past. This thesis argues that some of these legal constraints, because of the manner in which they have been developed in practice, may affect the way wrongdoing states choose to deal with their past. As a result, they influence the processes of memory-making within societies. Through the legal analysis of international norms and their application to, and implementation in, situations of gross and systematic human rights abuses, this research develops the concept of a duty of memory under international law.

  • Historical Translatability
    Historical Translatability Primo Levi Amongst the Snares of European History 1938– 1987 By Domenico S c a r p a (Turin) Taking his cue from the groundbreaking English translation of ›The Complete Works‹ of Primo Levi (recently published in America by Liveright) and focusing on Levi’s early writing, the author argues for the necessity of re-reading Primo Levi today, pleading for a new historical and chronological approach to his work. 1. I would like to begin with an explanation of the two dates in my subtitle, 1938 and 1987. 1938 is the year when the Fascist regime led by Mussolini passed rac- ist laws against Jews. This event not only put on Italian Jews the burden of an increasing self-consciousness, but it also marked the beginning of their “search for roots,” the construction of a cultural identity for the many of them who were not particularly religious or aware of their heritage or tradition. Primo Levi was himself such a secular Jew. More importantly, the racist laws of 1938 made Italian Jews aware of an im- pending catastrophe. 1938 brought about the recognition of a further dimen- sion in national and European history. Metaphorically speaking, 1938 broke the back of Italian historical continuity. Shattering Italian identity, it was the first of many fractures that were to occur in the decade to follow. There was the entry of Italy into World War II on June 10, 1940, the fall of the Fascist regime on July 25, 1943, the complete collapse and dissolution of the Italian state after the armistice with the Allies on September 8, 1943, the liberation and the victory of the Italian Resistance on April 25, 1945, the institution of the republic in 1946 and, finally, the writing and promulgation of the new constitution of the Repubblica Italiana in 1948.

    Arguing with Socialists: Glenn Beck 3.86 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 05/07/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) The Socialist Threat Against American Liberty and What You Need to be Doing About it. In 2018, Economic War Room featured the 7 Deadly Sins of Socialism in Episodes 11 and 12. You mission was focused on the importance of protecting western civilization and liberty. Unfortunately, the Bernie Sanders, Ocasio Cortez’s and the radical left continue to march down the path of Socialism for America. The Communist have had a long-term plan to overthrow America’s democracy and it has been executed for decades with success. Remember, they said not one shot will need to be fired. All this as America’s boomer generation assumes America will always be America. With a crisis like the pandemic, however, there’s a power grab and accelerant toward tyranny. Howard Zinn has rewritten America’s history books (see Episode 83) and much of the entertainment business is giving America’s youth a false history of America (see Episode 81). The greatness of America (free markets and individual liberty) is not being communicated. At the same time crony “capitalists” have broken the golden rule of free markets for their own monetary gain. The socialist/communist plan to change America is being executed perfectly. Now with a COVID-19 pandemic, the Government is experimenting with tools to protect citizens by shutting down the economy, and then applying extreme stimulus tools to restart the economy. The last time the Government experimented with the economy this much was during the Great Depression.
