Normative

Powell and DiMaggio (1983) suggest three types of isomorphisms: coercive isomorphism (occurs to parties when they face formal and informal pressures from parties that they reply on); mimetic isomorphism (occurs when parties perceive uncertainty); and normative isomorphism (originates from the professional practices).The institutional theory focuses on the macro-level; however, there is a serious need for the understanding through the micro-level (Powell & Colyvas,…

privacy of data have become a much needed commodity. Privacy can be grouped into two different definitions on being descriptive the other being normative, depending whether they are used to described how individuals perceive a situations and conditions and the way they are value as well as their constraints to the processing of information. The normative sense discusses how the un-absolute moral right of persons control over access to of personal information, personal acquires information…

Weber authenticated rationality pertaining to values and believed that who are hopeful of the capitalist economy, liberal politics and rationality to rescue human kinds are wrong and he sought an alternative way. He put emphasis on religious faith & morality and believed: “If values become restored, human life will survive from this condition. However, there is an important question in here: “What are these values?”. It seems the values require theoretical bases and epistemology. In other words,…

the transition of regimes. These regimes’ persistence is embedded in their cultural foundations and institutional structure (Yom and Gause, 2012). Elliot Abrams (2012) claims that the historical connection of the Arab monarchies give them their strength and legitimacy. He explains how the monarchy is often sustained by religious belief, and this gives them more legitimacy than any self-appointed strongmen (Abrams, 2012). The rationality paradigm does not appear as an independent category as…

When it comes to normative social influence, it is the influence of other people that leads us to conform (so we can be accepted). And as we know, social norms are powerful. As people continued to step onto that elevator, look at me, and then ignore me or share a ‘look’ with…

created by culture is cultural construction. A universal cultural construct is that of gender, which is often seen as fundamental for the organizing and assigning of roles to individuals. The social dynamics of a group are structured by the cultural normatives, division of categories, conception of the world, and other ideologies that affect how a group conceptualizes gender. What a person is allowed to become -- and who they ultimately become -- is largely dependent upon their assignment as a…

is the violation of mores on a deep level. Taboos reflect the society’s core values. Some examples of taboo are incest and cannibalism which are viewed as disgusting and repugnant in society. Behavior can be deemed a crime or deviance based on normative expectation. Crime is what society prohibits. Deviance violates norms or expectations which does not cause harm or danger. Society's morals, beliefs, and values are what defines crime through the criminal justice system. The level of crime…

submission to Christ leads me to believe that women are not inferior to men, yet they are to respect men. It is my belief that the original meaning of this passage currently means the same thing now. According to the definition of normative, I believe that this passage is indeed normative in regards to submission amongst wives and husbands, and the church and Christ being a universal teaching for each…

The narratives of transgender, transsexual, cross-dressing, and female impersonating individuals have been left out of the historiography of the civil rights movement and the LGBT movement. The first to write about individuals outside of normative gender binaries were medical professionals in the United States during the mid-nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. In 1966, The Transsexual Phenomenon was published leading to an emergence of clinical studies of transsexual…

I. INTRODUCTION In Plato’s dialogue, Minos, Socrates identifies weaknesses with each view of legal philosophy in turn - faulting state law for creating “some decisions [that] are unjust, unworthy of law”; social order as law for “bring[ing] in all of social life,” and; law as just or right for ignoring the way in which “opinions differ.” When viewed through Socrates’ criticism, law as ‘state law’ offers the most compelling account for the paradox that is law’s elusive definition. The following…
