applied to social media and networks created online. In fact, online communities are actually referred to as “new communities,” essentially, a community unburdened by things such as geography. Using social network analysis, which according to Katherine Giuffre (2013), “concentrates on relations among the members of a system rather than on the individual attributes of those members” (p. 3), we can see a much larger picture of a network or community. This means that studying how social media users…

iconic storyline. The biggest concept that stuck out to me was the creation and total breakdown of social structure. Very quickly into the film, the boys realize the severity of their situation and decide it would be best to elect a leader. Via a vote, Ralph is chosen to be the leader while Jack somewhat decides that the will be the leader of the hunters.

In this article, Berkman and Glass (2000) briefly summarize the history and foundations of social epidemiology, discussing the interdisciplinary contributions that experts in the fields of sociology, psychoanalysis, anthropology, and epidemiology all have made to develop the field of social epidemiology, itself. It then moves into a discussion of the social network theory and how it relates to health behaviors, individual health, health outcomes, morbidity, and mortality. The article began with…

Identifying the Self Lauren Slater firsts introduces us to Stanley Milgram and his experiments in the chapter Obscura. In this chapter we revolve around the topic of self-identity compared to who we really are while under the influence of the power of authority. Slater, although unclear of the true meaning of these experiments, finds they have great power in shedding light on the distinction between who we think we are versus who we truly are (Slater, 39). This then makes myself wonder, am I…

This would look into the social role like what re the set of rights, duties, expectations, norms and behaviors that a person should fulfill.
