Lecture 8. 17/3 Article: “Wild Earth” critique of Cronon’s approach A. SUMMARY: The article is a critique of Cronon’s approach to wilderness and the division of nature and culture. The argument that is being challenged is Cronon, and explains how the wildness has declared the nature as being something foreign, that people have excluded. He gives an example of a tree in the garden, and compares it to a tree in an ancient forest. People in modern time have stamped the tree in the forest as being
tends to explain biological factors, such as genes, that determine how an organism behaviour is or how it changes with time. There are various biological determinants of behaviour, which include neural adaptability, birthweight, sex and gender. Therefore, this paper addresses how the various biological determinants of behaviour are described in the popular
Gender is also assumed to play a major role in the distinct ways females and males store and process information about the self, social groups, and experiences. Gender schema theory argues that people learn, through socialization to the culture and in social discourse, to activate stored information which leads to differential processing of the same messages (Bem, 1981; Cantor & Mischel, 1979). Because schemas help direct the encoding and retrieval of information (Cantor & Mischel, 1979; Lingle &
2.4 Gender Stereotypes As Eagly (1987) suggests, gender roles are closely linked with gender stereotypes. Stereotypes are "over-generalized beliefs about people based on their membership in one of many social categories" (Anselmi and Law 1998, p. 195). The current gender stereotypes reflect beliefs that appeared during the 19th century, the Victorian era. Before the 19th century, most people lived and worked on farms where men and women worked together. The Industrial Revolution changed the lives

It also provides information on how socialization influences a person’s gender role at an early age within their family (primary groups). Along with how gender roles may be influenced by secondary groups, such as classmates, teachers, and possibly the media. With that being said, it also expresses that cultural values and norms that influence gender roles, as well as, religion. Gender roles are an important
parents, siblings or relative smoke publicly, wondering how it tastes and what it feel like. Also, it fosters a sense of acceptability among the young adults, as they have seen their family members smoke for a long time, therefore, they do not find any harm in them doing it as well, making them wonder ‘If my father can do it, why can’t I?’ or ‘Had it been bad, my family wouldn’t be doing it’. Another way in which smokers in family influence one’s smoking behavior is by making cigarettes accessible
Characteristics of a cultural survey / definition National culture: - influences how managers and employees make decisions and interpret their roles - differences between national cultures create important opportunities for growth and development, but also can cause serious problems if they are not understood - not the only significant influence on behaviour but also: o internal factors such as strategy, the organizational culture, history, individual psychology of members o external factors such
debate of nature vs. nurture has been highly discussed for /many years/, whether human nature is completely dependent on genes or it is forged by environmental circumstances. Despite various claims that the issue has been resolved, no clear answer has been agreed on by scholars. Matt Ridley argues in Nature via Nurture that “The discovery of how genes actually influence human behaviour, and how human behaviour influences genes, is about to recast the debate entirely. No longer is it nature versus nurture

If the usage of language is constitutive rather than indexical, then probably it can help to establish and maintain social and power relations, values, and identities, as well as to challenge the social practice. However, Fromkin & Rodman (1993) mentioned that language can reflect
