Part 1: Socialization and Social identity...
The way the human brain takes ideas and creates shortcuts to meaning is through information processing. This is done daily when someone processes what they see, hear, feel, and think. As this happens, the brain is taking in a large amount of information and then sends it through filters in order to make sense of what is being interacted with.

These groups are mostly egalitarian meaning everybody, including women, has the same rights and beliefs. When looking at the larger, industrial and post-industrial societies, there was a great shift in technology meaning that from the late 1700s, until now, people have been flourishing because of the age of the machine. That being said there were still negatives during the industrial age as there was poverty, urban violence, and poor workplace conditions that needed improving. These societies also use an abundance of resources from around the world. When highly-developed societies changed from the 20th century to the 21st century, they went from the industrial age into the information age becoming postindustrial societies.

People who possess control and sway often favor it since it highlights the fact that consistency and balance are created within the social order. We see this daily in ordinary discussions and also in the coverage given by news agencies as both are based on statements given by functionalism theorists.

In doing this, one can increase involvement in sports as well as encourage personal improvement.
