This concept is, of course, borrowed in some measure from Marx's understanding of capitalism in its more traditional sense. Capital is something that a person can exchange to receive something desired. Social capital is not, however, perfectly analogous to other forms of capital because social capital is not used up in any given exchange. Social capital, which can also be looked at as analogous to social standing, comprises education, class, demographic aspects such as age, gender, and race, beauty, expertise, and talent, among other attributes, attracts people to each other and can be used to acquire many types of goods.
The second coding category that I use in this project is that of collective identity. This coding concept is to some extent analogous to culture: It is the sum of the ways in which members of a group feel connected to each other as related to their membership...
This code is an obvious one given that the dynamics that are being explored here are (at least in part) the ways in which Chinese and Americans (and Chinese and American culture) interact with each other. China is still considered to be an essentially collective culture while America is still considered to be an essentially individualist culture. These are certainly simplifications, but they have sufficient validity to be useful.
The final concept that I have used in coding this event is that of performativity. I base this concept on the work of Erving Goffman's model that we are all (pace Shakespeare) actors on a stage. However, to what extent we are performing a role does vary, as does the distance between what we might consider to be our basic, unembroidered role, and the one that we are performing (or even inhabiting) at any given point in time.
Heat How does the study of heat relate to the kinetic theory of matter? First, the Kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of numerous small articles known as the atoms and molecules which are in constant motion. There are some assumptions that are made under this theory, one is that matter is made up of particles that are widely spaced and these particles are in constant motion (Ron
light does not turn on one must take several considerations in determining the cause of the situation. In order to figure out why the light is not turning on, analysis of the situation through the scientific method may be utilized. The first step is to pose the question of why the light does not turn on. Research must then be undertaken to determine the cause. In this instance, there
Taoism is one of the great philosophical systems and religions which has come from ancient China, debuting fully in the 4th century B.C. Taoism can be difficult or controversial to define because so much of Taoism has an elusive, adaptable quality to it, which can make it more challenging to peg down. It goes without saying that Taoism has been able to exert a tremendously powerful influence on Chinese aesthetics,
These effects would be unfairly harsh on developing nations, who had little to do with creating the problem; this is one of the reasons that recent international talks in Copenhagen have stalled (WGW 2009). Not only would these countries not be able to develop as quickly and have healthier populations and more stable governments, but industrialized nations would also see negative economic impacts, making many wary of making any
Coed Darcy The urban village is being constructed on brownfield land that was formerly being used by an oil refinery that was called the Llandarcy Oil Refinery that was owned by BP. This oil refinery was constructed between the years 1918 and 1922 and it has been labeled as the first crude oil refinery in the country. Since there were some economic changes, the site was closed in the year
In addition it was agreed that issues of federal budget, revenue and taxation would originate with the House of Representatives. The Great Compromise issued in a spirit of success to the convention and essentially ended the division between the small and large states. However, it did nothing to alleviate the pending debate between the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist. Decisions on how much power to give to the people and to
