Scene 31

social status is the honor or prestige attached to one's position in society (one's social position).  It may also refer to a rank or position that one holds in a group, for example son or daughter, playmate, pupil, etc Status has two different types that come along with it: achieved, and ascribed

Scene 32

Social stratification describes the way people are placed in society.  It is associated with the ability of individuals to live up to some set of ideals or principles regarded as important by the society or some social group within it.  The members of a social group interact mainly within their own group and to a lesser degree with those of higher or lower status.

Scene 33

Groups: Wealth and Income (most common): Ties between persons with the same personal income  Gender: Ties between persons of the same sex and sexuality  Political Status: Ties between persons of the same political views/status  Religion: Ties between persons of the same religion  Ethnicity/Race: Ties between persons of the same ethnic/racial group  Social Class: Ties between persons born into the same group  Coolness: Ties between persons who have similar levels of popularity

A set of connected  behaviours , rights and obligations as conceptualized by actors in a social situation. It is an expected or free or continuously changing  behaviour  and may have a given individual social status or social position.  The division of  labour  in society takes the form of the interaction among heterogeneous specialized positions, we call roles.

Scene 35

It is defined as “ All beliefs, customs, and ethics are relative to the individual within his own social context.”  In other words, “right” and “wrong” are culture-specific; what is considered moral in one society may be considered immoral in another, and, since no universal standard of morality exists, no one has the right to judge another society’s customs .

Scene 36

It should be understood that all cultures are worthy in their own right and are of equal value.  Diversity of cultures, even those with conflicting moral beliefs, is not to be considered in terms of right and wrong or good and bad.

Scene 37

It is closely related to ethical relativism, which views truth as variable and not absolute.  What constitutes right and wrong is determined solely by the individual or by society.  Since truth is not objective, there can be no objective standard which applies to all cultures.

Scene 38

Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one's own culture. The ethnocentric individual will judge other groups relative to his or her own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion.  These ethnic distinctions and subdivisions serve to define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.

Scene 39

The laws laid out by society that govern society’s behaviors. Although these norms are not considered to be formal laws within society, they still work to promote a great deal of social control.

Scene 40

Norms in every culture create conformity ( traditional values) that allows for people to become socialized to the culture in which they live. If people do not follow these norms then they become labeled as  deviants  and this can lead to them being considered the outcast of society.

Scene 41

Social security is the guarantee that the state gives to specific individuals (who may or may not be required to pay monthly by virtue of which they receive, in times of crises, free remedial and supportive measures.

Scene 48

Social characteristics play a predominant role in determining sickness and health status Occupation related to health Social position: class, ethnicity, gender, age Disease & feelings of sickness not determined solely by underlying biology

Scene 49

Medical professionals should recognize a patient as a social creature, that many aspects of their lives impact upon their health, their exposure to illness and illness-producing behaviors, and their “agency” (capacity to mobilize resources to improve well-being)

Scene 50

A socially-oriented physician would take action to  improve  housing, nutrition,  educational opportunities, and  employment opportunities;  combat racism and discrimination;  eliminate poverty; and  alter the inequities and inadequacies of the medical care delivery system …     and in society at large
