...Consequences To Conformity, Compliance and Obedience Pertaining to Social Pressure Social Influence and Groups "Social influence is the process by which the actions of an individual or group affect the behavior of others" (Feldman, 2013). Many people know from their own experiences the undeniable pain, as well as changes in behavior, that is experienced by submitting to these type pressures, that otherwise, never would have resulted. Social pressures cause people to conform, comply, and obey. Furthermore, these actions and behaviors can have severe negative affects to our personal relationships, which will be address in the following paragraphs. Conformity: Following What Others Do Conformity can be defined as a change in behavior and attitudes that happens because of a need to follow other people (Feldman, 2013). Frequently, people conform to peers and social pressure because of their psychological need to be accepted. Everyone wants to feel loved and accepted. However, when this acceptance comes at the dangerous cost of conforming to social groups, changes occur that are sometimes not thought out and/or unexpected (Encyclopedia for Marriage and Family, 2003). For example, many times people lose their individuality and will not grow as a person because they do not feel they can voice their own thoughts and opinions. This is for fear that in so doing, they will go against their peer groups and become unaccepted. This type conformity usually begins during adolescents...

...Opinions and Social Pressure In “Opinions and Social Pressure “(Solomon E. Asch), author shows that: Group pressure can Influence an Individual to deny the evidence of their own senses. The author supports the main Idea , by using experimental studies with individuals and showing that when put in group settings and asked to answer questions, which make their answers the minority answer. In the first study seven to nine college students gathered for a “psychological experiment”. The students were informed that they would be comparing the lengths of lines tended to surrender their own judgment to the others, in the same experiment. In the first experiment all the students choose the same matching line. Again in the second experiment the students are unanimous. The third experiment took on a surprise. As the group continued to answer unanimously one student disagrees. Even though this single student answers all his questions correctly he begins to to worry and second guesses his own answers. What the student didn’t know ,is that all the other students in the group were told to give incorrect answers. When the majority size decreases, the individual in the minority tends to contribute independently out of his own experiences, rather than conforming with the majority. The next experiment consisted of 123 subjects from three different colleges. two of them allowed the subject to act independently. Normally subjects made a mistake 1 % of the time...

... Home Page » Social Issues Cause and Effect of Cheating During Exams In: Social Issues Cause and Effect of Cheating During Exams Cause and Effect of Cheating Cheating is one of the most concern behaviors at school all over the world. There are many different ways of cheating such as copying homework, looking at another individual paper during exam, plagiarizing, and so on. It has been considered to be the worst behavior since it causes a lot of bad effects to the cheaters in the future. In this way, cheaters do not have their own ability to do their own works, so in the future when they get a job, they will lack of ability to do their jobs too which may cause them to get unemployment. There are many reasons why students like cheating, but according to some researchers, there are top three reasons why students are likely to cheat: lack of effort, external pressures and opportunity. To begin with, cheating is likely to be occurring on students who are lack of effort in their studying. Students who did not attend class or did not study are considered to be lack of effort students. Those students are rare to get passed by themselves; thus, cheating is a good way for them to get passed. Exams are usually extracted from the lessons that the students have learnt, so it is essential for the students to attend every classand keep their concentrating while studying in order to do well on the exams withoutcheating. According to External pressures are other main causes...

...incorrect? As much as we believe that we are a free and independent people, British author Doris Lessing’s speech tells a different story. Lessing states that we “are now in possession of a great deal of hard information about ourselves, but we do not use it to improve our institutions and therefore our lives (Lessing).” Lessing spoke in 1985 about Western humans and how we perceive ourselves. She believes that Westerners are very educated and have a very high sense of self. Westerners go through life rarely questioning what others tell us, instead just accepting it as absolute truth. Americans especially are very prone to social pressures and feel significant pressure to conform. In the age of Facebook and Twitter, many adolescents feel an enormous amount of pressure from friends and social media about what they should look like, what they should be wearing, what music they should be listening to. Adults are no exception. Adults are pressured all through their lives that they should go to college, get married, and have children. Even if this is not something an individual wishes for themselves, they will more than likely conform because they want to appease their friends or their families, or they simply feel that society expected that of them. Lessing points out that while in a group setting, most individuals will quickly cast aside their individuality to go along with the crowd if their opinions are different than...

...of Passage Paper Diane Beleau BSHS/342 7 May 2012 Joyce Mink Introduction Society today sets high expectations for an adolescent girl, this same society forces her to be faced with many social pressures and high demands. Adolescent girls at this age have to deal with the pressure to include the notion of having to look a certain way in order to be accepted by her peers. Adolescent girls also may feel pressure from peers to act older than she is in order to fit in with the “in” crowd. Girls have a lot of pressure from the media, such as TV shows and music videos to be sexy by a certain standard or to believe everyone is having premarital sex. This is a very confusing time in a young girl’s life. An adolescent girl is dealing with an increase in hormones, body changes, and her menstrual cycle. In this paper we will take a look at an adolescent girl who is going to attend her Junior/Senior prom. The prom is a modern rite of passage that thousands of kids experience every year. During prom all kids face many issues such as pressure to drink, have sex or even experiment with drugs. We will also explore the different solutions that a young girl can be given to handle these types of modern day pressures. Social Demands Facing Adolescent Girls Today There are so many social demands of teens nowadays with prom being significant for adolescents and apparently more so for adolescent girls. Prom is an influential occasion in a teenager’s high school livelihood—one of...

...to shoot the elephant; he merely brought the rifle for his own protection. “I had no intention of shooting the elephant – I had merely sent for the rifle to defend myself if necessary – and it is always unnerving to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill, looking and feeling a fool, with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people jostling at my heels” . This quote first of all shows that Orwell actually did not intend the shooting of the elephant. It also shows the pressure he is being held upon by the Burmese crowd. It might seem a bit strange that Orwell feels pressured, as he is the superior and the Burmese is the inferior, but the thing is, Orwell is pressured because he is in fact the one without power in this situation. He is being laughed at and ridiculed buy the locals, which of course touches his emotions and he is greatly outnumbered by the thousand man crowd. So in reality a part of the cause of George Orwell shooting the elephant is social motives. Being pressured by the Burmese is not his only motive; Orwell also wants to feel himself as something more. He wants respect, just like any other man would, if they on a daily basis were being ridiculed and laughed at. “As a police officer I was an obvious target and was baited whenever it seemed safe to do so. When a nimble Burman tripped me 10 up on the football field and the referee (another Burman) looked the other way, the crowd yelled with hideous laughter. This...

...Assignment on Kunst Vacuum Pumps | | | Authors (EPGP04-Section A): Abhishek Kumar Singh (EPGP-04A-005) Vivek Talwar (EPGP-04A-113) Question What are the major, quantifiable value and price elements associated with the Kunst 1600? Answer: Value elements ➢ Cost savings since it would not involve changing oil because the Kunst 1600 is an oil-free vacuum pump. ➢ Higher revenues, and therefore profits, due to higher output of the Kunst 1600 in lower pressure settings. These resulting higher profits are only generated in the light commercial refrigerator repair segments because in these segments the technicians can complete more jobs with a faster pump (the Kunst 1600) in comparison to the more traditional pumps. Price elements ➢ According to the respondents in the focus groups, the anticipated lifetime of their current vacuum pumps is around five years. Though, wholesale managers stipulate that most repair firms do not keep track of their vacuum pump purchases and overestimate pump lifetime. Managers also claimed that they tracked customer firm purchases via their electronic point-of-sale systems leading them to conclude that, with sensible care, the pumps can be used for between...

...What makes the ball curve: Soccer players can make the ball curve by applying a Force, kicking, to the ball that is not in the center of the ball itself. When the ball is struck on the side by a player the ball spins while it is moving forward. In the case of the picture below, the soccer ball was struck on the right side of the ball and is spinning counter-clockwise. What causes the ball to actually curve in the air is a difference in the pressures on either side of the soccer ball. On the left side of this soccer ball, the air is moving faster, than the right side, relative to the center of the ball. This causes a lower pressure to develop on the left side of the ball, while on the right side there is a higher pressure because the air flow is moving slower relative to the center of the ball. This difference in air pressure causes the ball to curve to the left during its flight path. This curve is known as the Magnus Effect after the physicist Gustav Magnus. The shape of the soccer ball is…round! But in mathematical terms, the soccer ball is usually in the shape of an Archimedean Solid. This solid has 32 faces, 12 are pentagons and 20 are hexagons. On the Apollo 17 mission astronauts played soccer with a 200 pound moon rock. Just imagine playing any sport with something that heavy…ouch! There are many different soccer balls in use today. Each company claims that theirs is the best one out there but in all reality soccer players only like to play with soccer balls...

...The Vacuum Way Back Machine: A Look at How It Was in the Early Days In the 1960s, when I first became interested in vacuum technology, the only books available to me were two volumes in the Portland (Maine) Public Library. The first was John Strong’s Procedures in Experimental Physics [1], published in 1938. The second was John Yarwood’s High Vacuum Technique [2], published in 1945. I guess that vacuum was not exactly a hot topic in Portland. Strong’s book covered many topics besides vacuum practice. Other chapters discussed optics, Geiger-Mueller tubes and counters, electrometers, optics, materials for physics, glassblowing and mechanical design. The book became a classic in its treatment of laboratory practice and has more recently been emulated by Building Scientific Apparatus [3] by Moore, Davis and Coplan where many of Strong’s topics are presented in updated form. Today we are blessed with UHV compatible materials, advanced fabrication methods, standardized fittings and a plethora of pumps and gauges, almost all of which are available for purchase via the internet. We forget about the days when obtaining a decent vacuum involved a certain resolve and ability to make do with adapted components and various concoctions of sticky goops. In this article we’ll take a look at some of the examples in Strong’s handbook and compare them to what we have now.

This means the mass of the gasses will be increased. 2. The relative densities of water, ice and alcohol are 1.0, 0.9, and 0.8, respectively. Does the ice cubes float higher or lower in a mixed alcoholic drinks? What can you say about a cocktail in which the ice cubes lie submerged at the bottom of the glass? A. The ice cubes will sink if there is enough alcohol in the beverage. In 80+ proof (40+%), ice cubes should sink. Ice cubes float in water, and sink in alcohol. Anything with less density than the liquid it's in will float. 3. How does the density of air in a deep mine compare with the air density at Earth’s surface? A. As altitude decreases, pressure increases. The mine air WILL be denser than surface air. 4. Why do you suppose that airplane windows are smaller than bus windows? A. Because there is a lot more pressure at a higher altitude and a smaller window is stronger. 5. When steadily flowing gas from a larger-diameter pipe to smaller-diameter pipe, what happens to its speed its pressure and the spacing between its streamlines? A. The speed stays the same because the gas is steadily flowing. B. The pressure increases because pv=nrt, and the volume of the container decreases so the pressure must increase. C. The spacing between the streamlines decreases because the same streamlines...

...temperatures even those beyond 100 °C and are highly recommendable for compounds which have higher boiling points. As it was seen in the results for the melting point determination, the sublimate started to melt at 116 °C and stopped melting at 120 °C while the pure benzoic acid started to melt at 120 °C and ended at 121 °C. The temperatures measured indicated that the pure benzoic acid has a higher vapour pressure than the sublimate. INTRODUCTION Sublimation is the direct vaporization of a solid by heating without passing through the liquid state. [1] The process of sublimation in this experiment is used to purify the impure benzoic acid. The impurities in the benzoic acid have amino compounds that are present in a larger extent and must be removed because of phenyl and benzyl compounds that seriously affect the product.[3] This process occurs if the vapour pressure of the substances greater than the atmospheric pressure at the melting point.[2] The process of purification involved in sublimation is applicable for impurities which are non-volatile or with lower vapor pressure than the pure compound or substance. The objectives of this experiment are: (1) to purify the impure benzoic acid through sublimation, (2) to calculate the percentage recovery of the...
