Reflexive

transported to her car. We laughed and joked together during our ten minute wheelchair journey to the parking lot. Along the way, she dropped her stuffed bear, and I retrieved it for her. A smile broke out on her face and although the act was small and reflexive for me, and we only spent a short time together, her wide grin made me feel that being with her even as she left to go home helped make the hospital and the world a more positive place. I maintained this attitude throughout my time at…

conduct questions in regards to the social world (Hesse-Biber, 2017). Qualitative research practices allow for researchers to gather a deeper understanding of social behaviours. It is important for researchers that implement this practice to conduct a reflexive study. Moreover, a well done qualitative study allows readers to easily follow and understand the information and results being put forward. Qualitative studies allow readers such as myself, to use the information and generalize it.…

Entry 1: Today we discussed the public sphere. In summary, we discussed the emergence of the “mass audience”, the low/high culture binary, and determining where the idea of “the public” comes from. We have a conception of the public sphere from the bourgeois class. The set ideal is that of a private (civil society) and the public (state-mediates crises). This public sphere is formed and operated through the norms of publicity. There are five norms that make up publicity: status as person is…

judicial system is illustrated through his manic self-portrait. While these artworks both critique society, they depict contrasting cultural forces through different mediums and representation of the human figure. Artworks have an inextricable and reflexive relationship with their audience, the artist and surrounding world, allowing them to contort the human figure in order to reflect the cultural forces present when they were…

In the last ten years, 83 percent of women featured on covers of Rolling Stone were hypersexualized. Only 30 percent of Rolling Stone’s total covers feature women in any capacity (Trautner, Hatton). An obsession with sexuality and sex appeal has led society to impose a number of impractical ideals on the women who make up the media. The standard of beauty that women must conform to when on screen or in front a camera is set by those who create and publish these forms of media. The creators are…

Language use and identity are conceptualized rather contrastingly in a socio-cultural point of view on human activity. Here, the character is not seen as solitary, fixed, and natural for the person. Maybe, it is seen as socially constituted, a reflexive, dynamic result of the social, verifiable and political connections of an individual’s lived encounters. This perspective has set creative bearings for examination in connected etymology. The reason for this part is to lay out a portion of the…

1. Compare/contrast the understanding of "human nature" held by John Locke and Emma Goldman. Explain how these ideas affect their ideas of power and the state – i.e., the role of government in society. From our understanding of John Locke and Emma Goldman, it is apparent that both had very distinctive views on human nature. John Locke, an individual remembered as one of the most influential political philosophers of the modern period, was deeply influenced by the society around him. John Locke…

Many can argue and say that to get a high education there is no need to be in a high social class. There are plenty of people who feel completely different about this issue and think that in order to get a good education, one must come from a wealthy background. Gregory Mantsios, director of the Joseph S. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies at Queens College of the City University of New York, gave his audience many examples of how different each social class was in his essay…
