MY SOCIAL GROUPS

 





INTRODUCTION:-


It is an established fact that human-beings are social animals and they derive social satisfaction from the society. As a result, it obvious that he/she is going to become a part of numerous social groups. Social groups are basically the formulations of combinations of people on the basis of their own needs, desires, ideologies etc.

IDENTIFICATION OF SOCIAL GROUPS:-





After having conducted a careful scrutiny of my social deliberation with the people around me I have concluded that the social groups in which I am a part in are as follows:-
  1. The social group of group of college groups
  2. The social group of family
  3. The universal social group of a nationality
  4. The ultimate social group of the world as a whole

ROLE AND STATUS IN THESE GROUPS:-


My role in the social group of being a college group member is that of a learner, assistance provider and cordial group member. My primary role as a member in this group is to ensure that the assignment gets completed in time and there is a friendly, cordial as well as professional atmosphere in the group. The status that I receive in this group is arbitrary and inconsistent. there are times when I get the status of a group leader as a post assigned to me by my group. However, most of the times my status is that of an ordinary group member.




I hold the status of a son and a brother in my family. My primary role in my family is that of fulfilling the minimum required and expected duties for the other family members of mine. I have to also act as a problem solver in contingency situations. However, as a whole my main duty is to impart my educational, cultural and social duties efficiently and swiftly.




Being, an Indian I also hold the status of an Indian national in a universal social group of Indians all across the world. Many a times, it so happens that the situation demands me to prove my worth as a son of this soil. When we start talking at a global level there is not much change in the status of an individual. He/she becomes a global citizen and that is the status that he/she gets. However, there is no expectation of a role from any person whatsoever. Individuals themselves just have to live their lives and try to impart their life in the best manner, upgrading their standard of living in the meantime.

IMPACT OF SOCIAL GROUPS ON  PERSONALITY:-


I can confidently state that my personality has become more professional and work oriented through the college assignment groups. It is because I am always accountable to my fellow group members and my performance can be instantly measured by my grading and my relative comparison. My family can be said to be the cause of current personality. In my opinion the family is the single most important determinant of an individual's personality. The foundational ideologies, sentiments, education of ethicality and morality etc. are all bestowed a the family of an individual. thus, my way of thinking is a composition of my family structure and knowledge.



finally, when we talk about the nation and the world it can also be deducted that such huge social groups give a higher purpose to a human being. if we talk about an individual he/she finds himself/herself to be a part of a massive mechanism, So, a person becomes extremely competent in his expertise as he has a higher purpose in life. I myself have become very much aware of my surroundings and my personality has also become capitalism, indigenous culture and nationalism driven.

CONCLUSION:-


Thus, it can be concluded that an individual can become a member of numerous social groups at the same time and he/she has to imparts the roles and responsibilities as per individual ability. So, it can be deducted from the write-up that social utility drives the need of being in a social group.

SOCIAL ISSUES IN CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S "MODERN TIMES"

  SOCIAL ISSUES IN CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S "MODERN TIMES" The movie "Modern Times" is a landmark story which denoted the final appearance of the world famous character of Charlie Chaplin who is popularly known as the Little tramp. In this iconic story the depiction of extreme capitalism and it's effects on human behaviour are shown. Charlie Chaplin has effortlessly and seamlessly played the character of a tramp who is unmoved by the sheer magnitude of mistakes committed by him while working in a heavy industry. In this movie, it seems as if the tramp is a metaphor for the fate of a common man who has become a small part of an enormous system. The tramp seems ridiculous to all the other people is because he has still not lost his individuality. All other people are busy in minute activities such as putting a screw on a nail.  This movie has sarcastically portrayed the menace that can be created through the excessive utilization of capitalism in the social construct...

SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGY AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR

Image
  INTRODUCTION:- Social psychology can be attributed to be a primary driver of the way in which consumers decide what should be purchased. The main  drivers to understand  consumer behavior are  motivation, opinion, attitudes and lifestyle .  several definitions made on this subject indicate that the consumer behaviour is made from the intellectual and societal trends that people go through and make decisions with respect to the goods and services to be purchased. Consumers buy products in order to satisfy their physical, social, psychological and mental needs. The motivation of a person to buy a product is not just related to it's overall quality. Consumers also derive utility from the social validation that they receive from using a product.

CASTE BASED RESERVATION POLICY OF INDIA

INTRODUCTION:- Caste based reservation is a peculiarity that is observed only in the context of India. No other country in this world has given a caste based reservation to it's citizens. However, there is a historical background to this system. In the medieval ages, the condition of the Indian backward castes such as the Dalits and the tribals of India was horrendous. there was a widespread inhumane treatment of such castes and tribes and after the independence of India caste based reservation in India was introduced. Nowadays, reservation which was originally introduced to alleviate the backward castes from their condition has become a political tool. in some ways the true meaning of alleviation has also been lost. THE PROPORTION OF RESERVATION:- The proportion of reservation given to various castes, tribes, other backward classes (OBC) and economically weaker sections (EWS) is as follows: From the above table it is quite clear that there is a reservation quota for 59.5% of the t...
