Social dynamics

Social dynamics or socio-dynamic are synonymous with social change in the way human relations change cultural and social institutions over time and affect each society. Looking back in history, we can note that relationships and norms have changed exponentially, cultural milestones, identities, settlements, sources of work, trade, migration, even peace. The term social dynamics relates to movements, changes and exchanges between individuals who are members of a society; that is, citizens who form individual and group cultural interaction with other members. Also known as social dynamism explains the transformation and progress in a society. 

For sociologists, it is a mechanism that governs the conduct of masses, in the face of certain stimuli and their individual conditioning based on experience and learning, and thus guides their studies in the activities, evolution and historical creations of men, subject to constant change. In this regard, the concept of social dynamics should be considered:

  • Types of trust: definition, characteristics and examples of trust towards individuals
  • Examples of social events: classification and characteristics of all types of social events (weddings, birthdays..)
  • Quality time: definition, importance, examples and how to spend quality time with family, friends

The achievement of the organization, the desire for collaboration and a common purpose. It guides the individual on how to behave in a society and is considered the central component of the social order. Given that development and evolution are synonymous with social dynamics, society through its various manifestations, as its main characteristic is the study of social change and progress. 

Social dynamics is everything that influences us, it's about customs, values, beliefs, everything around a society. The forms and conformities of social dynamics are marked by history and subject to permanent change. Social change occurs in all aspects of society, the educational, moral, physical and intellectual system. The interaction resulting from social dynamics expresses social degrees, establishing fields of action and differentiation of social status. The aim of the dynamics in the social sciences is to study the progressiveness of a social group during a given period. It explains the crucial and successive stages of the minds of individuals and society. Especially politics and religion have had much to do with these transformations, almost responsible in the universal history for promoting or protecting inequalities based on classes, race, gender, ethnicity, among others; thereby encouraging violence. The dissatisfaction faced by these groups is the main motivator for their union and the struggle for change. Restructuring, elections and overthrow of Governments, as well as wars and armed conflicts; urban violence and terrorism are other triggers for social change. when the number of people in a society changes, social change is also inevitable. Population change usually occurs when birth rates increase or people begin to live longer, as an increase in population also affects the disposition of a country's resources. 
 
Social change is usually the product of social movements. A society expressing its dissatisfaction responds to a social dynamic, for example, when it celebrates hunger strikes and other street movements; when it spreads it through the mass media. There are numerous examples throughout history in all countries of the world. Some of the most famous are:
  • Reform in 16th century Europe
  • The American Civil Rights Movement
  • Abolition of the transatlantic slave trade
  • The feminist movement
As a conclusion, in a social dynamic, people decide to work towards a common goal; replacing the destructive and inefficient in society. Activists, for example, refer to authors and ideologies that have been successful in the past in empowering and hoping for positive change in the present.

W9.1 Government

  1. Summarization      Government is like an umbrella term for a wide variety of institutions that make up the general control over a country. There are many different types of governments, with democracies, totalitarian regimes and everything in between. A type of government always has a ideal state, however in reality it often deviates. Basic political systems are autocracy, aristocracy, democracy, republics and federalism. Democracy can be either direct or indirect. In the indirect form, the people vote for representatives, who will then act on their behalf in making governing decisions. In a government, power can be divided into several functions. A commonly known model is called the 'trias politica'. The legislature, executive and judiciary powers are divided over several institutions. This is often applied to democracy as it ensures no one has the power to undermine the system. Sometimes a government works on the principle of a multiparty system. A party or a ...

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...

 1) Summary Race is a concept that divides people into groups based on biological characteristics, and race classification can vary depending on historical, geographical, and cultural factors. Race is created socially, and is formed by the interaction of social relations and power. Discrimination and racism between races can trigger social absurdity and inequality. And this can happen for historical, political, and economic reasons, often leading to conflict and violence. Ethnicity is a group based on shared history, culture, language, and beliefs, and ethnic identity is related to the identity of individuals and groups. Among theories related to ethnicity, multiculturalism aims for a social environment in which various races and ethnic groups can coexist and interact. 2) An interesting point It was interesting that race and ethnicity were not biologically defined but socially formed. Race and ethnicity are formed by the interaction of social relations and power, which can lead to ...
