others and is reciprocal to the virtue of care. The degree of completeness of a sex act is contingent on the relation between partners, one’s own desires, and their partner’s desires. Embodiment, a recognition of and submission to sexual desires, and reflexive mutual recognition, the state of actively desiring each other’s desires, emphasize that a sex act is complete when partners can embody desire and reciprocate it. These characteristics entail respect for persons because each consistently…

Moreover, Mead did not mention in her research Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, how much time she had spent observing each tribe (Thurnwald 1936), which leaves the readers guessing the research’s credibility. As an anthropologist, it is one’s duty to provide data based on one’s time of study, methodology, and qualitative context regarding one’s fieldwork. On the other hand, I became well-informed by Mead demonstrating that: the absence of innate temperamental differences between…

Nowadays, the world is rapidly being transformed in to an integrated social space by various economic, political and technological factors. The growth and development in one side of the world can also affects the societies that live on the other side of the globe. One of the vital tools of globalization is consumer culture, it is considered as a strong force that can create interconnectivity across regions (Alvi et al, 2014). The impact of consumer culture can be different in every region in…

Social work is a regulated profession used to promote social change, protecting the wellbeing of children, adults, families and the further surrounding communities. Social workers are uniquely educated to support every individuals needs when overcoming some of life’s challenges. In Wales, social work is under the legislation of the Care Council for Wales. “People of Wales can count on social services being provided by a professional, skilled and confident workforce” (Care Council of Wales).…

realized early that depending on the situation, the people I was around, and the “part” I was expected to “play”, that those parts were not always consistent. This corresponds with Stets and Burke (1998) assumption that an individual’s sense of self is reflexive. Rather, it can be identified as an object…

Kant's first formulation of the Categorical Imperative is that of universalizability. When someone acts, it is according to some rule, or maxim. For Kant, an act is only permissible if one is willing for the maxim that allows the action to be a universal law by which everyone acts. Maxims fail this test if they produce either a contradiction in conception or a contradiction in the will when universalized. Kant believes that all moral judgments must be universalizable. That is, if we say that…

Learning theories are central to the discipline of psychology, therefore, impossible to separate the history of learning theories from the history of psychology. Learning defined as a lasting change in behaviours or beliefs that result from experience, the ability to learn provides every living organism with the ability to adapt to changing environments (Skinner, 1938). Learning theories evolved to separate into two perspectives. First, the behaviourist perspective argues that learning be…

Via cranial nerves it stimulates responses that are reflexive such as coughing, sneezing, vomiting, and salivating. Some sensory information is passed through this area of the brain from the cranial nerves and then relayed to higher structures of the brain like the thalamus. If this part of the brain does not…

When comparing both economics and psychology, it is true that both of the social sciences look at the behaviour of individuals and how they react to situations where they are faced to make a decision. However the way both of the two go about it is very different to a small extent. Economics defines rationality as consistent choices made by people to maximise their self interest and utility. It also assumes that people are able to make choices whilst processing all the information without…

For example, the Hopi language emphasizes reflexive verbs when describing tbings, in which something is performing unto itself. Naatukwsintani and naawungwintani are used to describe corn growing, and roughly translate to “maturing themselves” or “raising themselves up” (Sekaquaptewa, 2004). The expressions are reflexive in nature, emphasizing that the corn is a being that is in control of its own actions. This language reflects…
