The Catholic Church, in other words, exists for many members on both a primary and secondary mode of membership and association. "Primary groups tend to be informal in nature and dominate the structures of traditional societies. Often organized around kinship ties, these groups regulate the activities of their members through informal norms and folkways of the culture. Secondary organizations are much more formal in structure and are usually coordinated through bureaucracy" (Elwell, 2008). The secondary organization of the Catholic Church is quite formal, organized, and bureaucratic in structure, but the informal social rules of the neighborhood church -- how much participation is demanded at the church bake sale, for example, is quite informal and based upon social and kinship ties. A parallel could be drawn with the American Heart Association, another organization I am a member of. The American Heart Association is a nonprofit charity, led by all of the….

Social
Group 2 Summary

The following is a general critique of the Group 2 Summary.

The summary begins well with an overt and clear statement of the central issues and problem. However, a more direct reference to the term "diversity issues" and perhaps a more academic definition of this term could be mentioned at the beginning to reinforce the argument put forward in the first section or paragraph of the discussion summary. This could lead to your opening quotation. For example: a definition of diversity issues in social work would be; "Social workers should recognize and respect the ethnic and cultural diversity of the societies in which they practice, taking account of individual, family, group and community differences"(Ethics in Social Work, Statement of Principles). You might prefer to include a better citation form your course reference works.

You should also give full references depending on the reference style being used -- such as author….

Social Group to Be Examined Is a Study Grou
It is a primary group. Members have a common goal and interact directly with each other.

The group meets for the purpose of assisting each other in achieving in their studies and each person takes part because of their own need to achieve in their studies.

The group has five members, all of whom are studying the same subjects. There are differences in age, ability, and the amount they contribute to the group.

One member is the leader of the group, being the leader because of their competence at all of the subjects. Their role is more of a teacher, than a student. Two of the members are both teachers and students, contributing as well as taking from the group. One member is less able than the group and contributes less, their role is as a student, rather than a teacher. One member is….

In all of the families surveyed, researchers discovered that many families / friends will form social support networks. This is when the different family members will live together in the same household and pool their different resources together. The problem arises, in that the various family / social members will have to constantly renegotiate living arrangements. This is problematic, because such volatile living conditions can mean that recipients are not focused on improving their standard of living. Instead, they become caught up in petty disputes because of this constant renegotiation. The dilemma arises where there are no alternatives for people who are on this program as they are forced to between social support groups or the program itself. Where, the program can provide assistance to individuals such as: moral support. However, if economic conditions change, they face the possibility of budget cuts. While the social support groups, provide constant….

Ethnic Social Groups.
Issues elated to Ethnic Social Groups

In this paper we have discussed the issues African-Americans face in terms of employment, social stability and their identity as a separate ethnic community in the United States.

Sociological studies suggest that "black people" or "African-Americans" have always had little choice in the racial label given to them. esearch and literature on this subject states that unlike some racial/ethnic identities, the "black identity" is conveniently assigned rather than asserted; "blacks have few options when it comes to choosing a racial label" (waters 1990). However, it is a possibility that African-Americans have a choice to select how relevant this racial identity is and how they choose to attach themselves with it. This choice can lead to specific political point-of-views, how it affects ones social relationships, how it affects ones employment chances. It's an identity that is very seldom considered.

During the latter half of the….

Social perception is the process of thinking about others with an aim to understand and learn more about them (Stangor, 2015, p. 12). This concept connects with the video in that our brains have the ability to read a person's facial expression and react based on the expression (Eagleman, 2016). This happens so fast that one might not be aware they are reacting at all. Understanding what a person is saying or feeling is vital in human interaction in that it allows ones to know how to interact with a different person. Self-categorization infers that we might at times act as individuals and at other times we might act as members of a social group (Stangor, 2015, p. 13). According to Eagleman (2016), the genocide event demonstrates how individuals who used to interact and live peacefully with their neighbors, turned against them when they became members of the opposite….

Insider Communication and Standpoint Theory
According to traditional theories of group dynamics, every group goes through a formative period of 'forming, storming,' and then 'norming,' -- in other words, groups engage in a first, tenuous period of formation before they coalesce and become socially and vocationally productive. All groups must engage in a necessary icebreaking phase of asserting and organizing power and personality hierarchies and comfort zones before group members can began to complete the assigned tasks according to their delegated duties, before they finally disband. Even informal social groups will have social hierarchies, some of which are more difficult for outsiders to penetrate than others. Every group has its own social and symbolic language of status.

However, standpoint theory challenges the notion that groups have 'normal' equilibriums that are fair and just for all potential members -- rather one's perception of fairness and equity depends upon where one stands in relation….

They may have resorted to labeling or differentiating their workplace because of the need to see the strength of their opinion. However, their labeling prevents a healthy sharing of ideas. In a worse scenario, they may progress to disapproving views from the outgroup or ultimately to rejecting the outgroup themselves.
The second event took place in a grocery store. A woman, after having the items in her cart registered by the cashier, declined purchase because she cannot find her money. The woman's uneasiness and embarrassment was obvious but despite it another shopper in line said that the woman's story may not be true because of the way she looked. The shopper commented that since the woman was wearing faded clothes and had slightly unkempt hair, she must not have lost her money but actually cannot really pay for all of the items in her cart. No conversation took place between….

Language and Social Grouping
Language is used differently in different geographic groups, ethnic, age, gender, and socioeconomic groups (Williams, 2010). Geographic groups use the same languages in different dialects that belong to the particular geographic regions. Within each language are many different dialects that have been formed with different geographic locations and cultures.

Shared words, experiences, cultures, and expressions are ethnic and shared elements of the social fabric. Language of a common gender and age is a common part of that shared experience. Age of individuals accounts for place and shared experience in society. The style of language used reflects someone's age. Individuals within the same age, gender, and geographic location would use language different from other groups with different ages, gender, and geographic locations.

Language reflects education and socioeconomic status. Individuals in different industries and positions communicate differently than individuals from other industries. The level of education also determines how language is….

Group Social Work: Nurturing Father's Program
The group investigated for this paper is the Nurturing Father's Program. I encountered the Nurturing Fathers Program while working for my state's child protective services division (DCFS). The NFP is an evidence-based, 13-week training course designed to teach parenting and nurturing skills to men. Each 2 1/2-hour class provides proven, effective skills for healthy family relationships and child development" (Nurturing Fathers, 2012). The goal of the program is to help men transform themselves into nurturing fathers by enabling cognitive, behavioral, and affective changes in the group participants. The NFP program has been used successfully in a wide variety of contexts, including, but not limited to schools, preschools, churches, government child-safety programs, and the military.

This particular NFP group meets at First Presbyterian Church, 270 Franklin Street, Quincy, MA on Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. There is no charge for participation, and group participants are given….

Group Motivation Inventory
Motivation can be defined as the various ways used to make people or a group of people to become more interested and committed to their work. Scholars' termed motivation to be more of sociological and psychological concept as it is relying on human behavior and how they relate to one another. Group motivation is an important aspect in group dynamics since most groups purely rely on motivation to be able to work together efficiently Xiangli, Solmon, Tao, & Ping, 2011.

Motivation can be derived from various things and because of that, each and every group member derive his/her motivation from different sources, which without their, existence results in differences in attitude and contribution levels to the group's projects or tasks. In the recent group motivation assessment, we carried out, I got to discover how I view group participation and some of the issues that affect both mine and other….

Social Psychology 2nd
Morality and Group elations: Possible Bias

The article entitled "Morality and intergroup relations: Threats to safety and group image predict the desire to interact with outgroup and ingroup members" as written by Brambilla et al. is comprised of three different research studies. However, each of these studies explores different facets of the same phenomena: how morality within and outside of groups varies by type of threat, and what sort of behavior these threats elicit from these same groups (Brambilla et al., 2013, p. 813). There is an extreme amount of relevance to the research conducted within this article and the principle research question of the present author, who is attempting to ascertain the meaning of relationships with moral development and reasoning in social groups.

Prior to stratifying the analysis of this paper to the three respective studies, it is necessary to mention various salient factors regarding the authors' approach overall….

Social psychology view: What ensures that women are treated fairly in office settings in the United States?
One of the most prudent applications of social psychology within contemporary settings are those that relate to gender. Gender issues can become exacerbated when they are viewed within particular social constructs, such as the work environment. Due to the fact that the majority of the world was initially a patriarchal society (particularly in the United States) before modern conceptions of gender became prevalent, the role of women within the work environment is one which is certainly worthy of investigation in terms of how women are treated, what sorts of issues they must contend with, and how others (men) consider working women. The principle difference between contemporary and most historic notions of gender pertaining to women in the workplace is that in modern times, there is supposed to be a substantial greater amount of parity….

This in turn generates a kind of societal morality. As a consequence, social order becomes an incorporated trait of everyday life. According to the theory, what people see as standards are indirect behavioral rules. Infringements of the standard lead to diverse amounts of punishment depending on how common the standard may be. Chastisements can come in the shape of being disqualified from one's social group, critical looks, or imprisonment in the case of harsh infringements like killing or assault (Jeanty, 2010).
As sociologists and historians examine social work, they often see a profession the spirit of which is social control. For them the language of therapy, assisting, or even empowerment masquerades a coercive center. Various recent literature of the vocation, conversely, has confronted the attitude of those researchers who depend on case reports as proof of what social workers in fact do in the field has highlighted empowerment in the….

The reason for this is that the phenomenon generally occurs within groups. Individuals who function in a group often do so differently than when left upon their own. To conduct the study, one individual and one group of people should be observed in two separate rooms.
The individual will be able to observe the group by means of a one-way window. The group will be unaware of the individual. All the group members except one were told to clap their hands in unison when a piece of rhythmic music begins to play. The individual in the adjacent room will observe this behavior as well as be able to hear the music.

As soon as the music begins to play, it is hypothesized that the person without prior coaching will be initially surprised. The other group members will overtly or covertly stare at the person or encourage him or her to participate.….

The idea of a fashion revolution is that something disruptive happens in the fashion world.  We saw a fashion revolution after people rejected the commodities culture of the 1980s.  There was a fashion revolution at the turn of the 20^th century, as women rejected the clothing of the Victorian era, rejected the corset, and embraced clothing that was more comfortable.  In fact, throughout history there have been many pivotal moments where fashion and costume has been revolutionized.  These moments have reflected other changes in culture, such as societal views towards women.
