Message from our Founder + President,
Dr. Ed Bauman
Welcome to Bauman College! In 1970, I recognized the relationship between nutrient-poor, processed food consumption and degenerative illness. This led me to a lifelong and worldwide study of how fresh, whole food protects us from disease and enables us to recover when health has been lost.
Bauman College was founded in 1989 to train future leaders, educators, and innovators in the fields of holistic nutrition and culinary arts to bring the revolutionary message that you are only as healthy as the food you eat.
Over the years, Bauman College has created a dynamic, living curriculum that reflects the latest research, business practices, and career guidance as well as a visionary approach to teach people to eat for personal, family, and community well-being. We teach our students how to think critically rather than jump on the latest diet bandwagon. Our culinary and nutrition students learn how to advise individuals and teach groups to create menus that are equally nutrient dense and delicious.
Bauman graduates tailor food plans to meet the needs of their clients rather than convert people to the latest “foodology.” The educational process at Bauman College transcends books. Students share food and recipes in class; sample healing foods, herbs, spices, and nutrients at home; and work with clients as part of their life-learning experiences.
Bauman College is doing more than just teaching nutrition. We are changing the lives of our students and their families, coworkers, and communities. By blending the science of nutrition with the art of allergen-free, restorative cooking, Bauman graduates are teaching others the skills they will use to improve the quality of their lives. Our graduates are bringing the message that real food heals to the mainstream. Whole-food nutrition, from healthy soil to our cells, is a powerful and durable antidote to the damage caused by the chemical saturation of our air, water, and food supply. Join us to learn how to cleanse, heal, and grow stronger and teach others to create a culture of wellbeing—personally, locally, and globally.

ABOUT DR. ED BAUMAN
Dr. Ed Bauman has been a lifelong pioneer in the field of holistic nutrition. His vision and leadership have inspired thousands of people to transform their lives in the form of wellness, community, and peace. He received his M.Ed. from the University of Massachusetts and a Ph.D. in health promotion from the University of New Mexico. Dr. Bauman created the Eating for Health® model to teach individuals to make nutritionally comprehensive food choices and founded Bauman College in
1989 with a mission to change the world through better nutrition and healthful living. He is a special advisor for the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) and brings a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and a love of good health and good taste to his work. Dr. Bauman was co-editor of the Holistic Health Handbook and Holistic Health Lifebook, and author of Confronting
Cancer in Our Community, Recipes and Remedies for Rejuvenation Cookbook, The Whole-Food
Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors, The Flavors of Health Cookbook, and Eating for Health: Your
Guide to Vitality and Optimal Health.

Professional association standards require that nutrition consultants practice within the area of health education, with mutual consent between client and consultant, and with full disclosure on the part of the practitioner as to services provided, fees, training, and areas of competence. A nutrition consultant does not diagnose or treat disease. Bauman College carefully teaches students the proper language to use to emphasize their educational approach that is based upon creating health rather than treating disease. Nutrition consultants are encouraged to work with doctors and licensed health providers when educating clients with previously diagnosed conditions. Anyone who is currently licensed (R.D., R.N., M.F.C.C., M.D., etc.) by the state in which they reside should check with their professional licensing board regarding nutrition practice requirements. Bauman
College recommends that its graduates obtain professional malpractice insurance, which is available at a very reasonable rate through national carriers.

Hypoallergenic, elimination diets and nutrition-based care programs for autoimmune conditions are presented along with the therapeutic use of specific foods, fresh juices, herbs, spices, broths, and cleansing aids with special attention to cleansing and healing the organs of elimination.

NC 212 CANCER
Cancer prevention diets as well as specific nutrient needs and diet support for individuals undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy are reviewed. Every component of the
Eating for Health® food plan has value in protecting the body from cancer occurrence or recurrence.

NC 213 CASE PRESENTATIONS
See NC 108 for a full description of student case presentations. In this module, students apply their learning from the Therapeutic Nutrition section to deliver a more in-depth case presentation.

FINAL EXAM
Students complete a final exam through the Bauman College Student Dashboard to demonstrate their knowledge of current, practical, and relevant information presented in the course.

Term III Practicum (175 Hours)
NC 301 PRACTICUM PREPARATION
In preparation for their on-site practicum experience, students are trained to deliver Bauman
College wellness programs in community and clinical settings. Students learn how to work with
PowerPoint slides, create customized educational handouts, and deliver healing food demonstrations to participants in the one-hour classes they will be teaching. Additionally, students learn how to conduct a pre and post Diet, Lifestyle, and Health Concern Survey; provide holistic nutrition counseling; analyze data; and report on participant changes, challenges, and outcomes.

NC 302 ON-SITE PRACTICUM
After spending a year or more learning about health supportive and therapeutic nutrition, our students enter the real world to deliver Bauman College wellness programs based on lessons provided to them by Bauman College. Guided by Bauman College mentors, our students will provide on-site or virtual weekly nutrition classes and individual counseling to selected participants.
Student responsibilities consist of preparing and teaching Eating for Health® classes, conducting individual client sessions, delivering written health plans, and supporting participants to improve their diets, lifestyles, and attitudes. Our students are guided and empowered by weekly mentorhosted phone conferences to discuss the challenges and learning opportunities they encounter in doing nutrition education and consulting in real time with busy people who have varying degrees of health awareness, time, and commitment.

NC 303 PRACTICUM REPORTING
To complete the practicum component of our program, students prepare and share with their mentors a report on their personal insights gleaned from being a program leader and on the participant outcomes from the Bauman College wellness programs that they customized and delivered. Reporting includes a discussion on the demographics of the population, the types of services they provided, the venues in which they worked, the modes of supervision and evaluation they used, and examples of challenging interactions and how they responded. In delivering their practicum reports, many students state that they appreciate how much they have learned, how capable they are in teaching and counseling, and how rewarding it is to support others in making important dietary and lifestyle changes. By working through the steps of preparing, delivering, and reporting on this real-time, real-life program, students experience a major shift in their personal and professional self-esteem. It is a powerful completion of the Nutrition Consultant Training Program.

NUTRITION CONSULTANT TRAINING PROGRAM VIA DISTANCE LEARNING

Nutrition Consultant Training Program via Distance Learning
The Nutrition Consultant Training Program is available online via distance learning. People who live far away, have time constraints, or simply prefer to work from home can receive our nutrition training on their own time and in a way that is organic to them. Distance learning is perfect for busy people who are independent, self-motivated, and who have a desire to improve the world through holistic nutrition.
Distance learning students receive a series of audio lectures linked to PowerPoint lessons prepared by Bauman College Founder and President Dr. Ed Bauman. These are augmented by current and comprehensive textbooks, workbooks, videos, and supplemental materials that keep the program fresh and science based. Students can download the lectures, view them in a multimedia PowerPoint presentation, or upload the audios to their MP3 players and learn on the go.

STRUCTURED YET FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE
Students may begin the Nutrition Consultant Training Program via Distance Learning at any time.
Although we allow up to 30 months to complete the program, students may finish in a shorter time.
Each student works at a different pace, but a minimum of 15-20 hours per week is a reasonable basic time commitment to finish the program. Students and mentors together work out a time frame for each lesson, which takes into account a student’s other life commitments and responsibilities.
A recommended pace to ensure completion of the program during the allotted time frame of
30 months would entail each module taking no longer than 30 days to complete. The key to a successful distance learning experience is that students make the time in their lives to research, write, interview, and complete their homework in a timely way and stay in close communication with their mentors.

STUDENT RESOURCES
Distance learning students receive the same curriculum as our classroom learning counterparts, including the practicum segment. Unlike many other distance learning programs, Bauman College students have the benefit of individual telephone consultations with a personal mentor throughout the program. Students will be guided and supported by these regular phone appointments, which allow students to ask in-depth questions, receive detailed feedback on homework for each course topic, review core competencies of the program, discuss client strategy and sequencing, get answers to questions, and monitor progress. Additionally, distance learners have an opportunity to connect with other Bauman College students through the Student Forum.

COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIRED
Use of a computer is required throughout this program. Please see page 30 for a discussion of the skills, hardware, and software requirements needed for success in this program.

BAUMAN BUSINESS INSTITUTE
There are many considerations when choosing a holistic nutrition or natural chef program. What does the curriculum cover? How long is it? What does it cost? What careers are available upon graduation? Potential students may not have considered how well a particular program will prepare them to start a business, seek employment, or give them the tools to build successful careers.
All students entering our programs are passionate about health and nutrition, but many have no idea how they are going to earn a living, and figuring that out alone can be very challenging.
Bauman College takes its responsibility to prepare and support students to put their education to work very seriously. Whether students are embarking on a career change or adding new skills and knowledge to existing work, their success is measured by how effectively they can utilize the information they have learned. The Bauman Business Institute is designed to assist students in navigating the difficult process of deciding upon and succeeding in their career choices.

ONLINE FORMAT OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAMS
With the Bauman Business Institute, we have created flexibility for our students by offering it online and in mobile-compliant format for both classroom and distance learning students. Business content and career support will now be available from the beginning of the students’ chosen vocational tracks and will flow throughout the entire program. By teaching business practices in this way, students will have the full duration of their training to explore their strengths and career goals, receive support, and create their business portfolios to prepare them to confidently start their businesses or seek employment.
As our nutrition consultant and natural chef curricula are based on progressive learning, the business learning sequence will also be stepwise and progressive. Students will be able to build on concepts learned early in the course as they progress through more advanced business topics.
Topics will be taught by faculty with specific subject experience and expertise. Students will learn from the best and in the end they will be ready for business!

ONLINE RESOURCES CLIENT MATERIALS, TOOLS, + TEMPLATES
The Bauman Business Institute will provide students with ready-made articles, assessment forms,
PowerPoints, and recipes that they can use with their clients; these will all be easily accessible in our Resource Library and will bear the Bauman College brand to increase a student’s or graduate’s professional credibility. The Resource Library will also contain a business resources section, which will include highly recommended business books, different websites, online classes, and other resources that offer continued education opportunities on topics ranging from how to secure funding to setting up a legal structure. With these resources at their fingertips, students will be able to build their careers and work with clients without having to spend time developing presentations, handouts, client forms, and other materials.

MENTORING CALLS
As part of the Bauman Business Institute, students will have the opportunity to participate in mentoring calls throughout the program so they can converse with and ask questions of business mentors and other students in their cohort.

STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND
The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the Legislature to protect any
“California Resident” who attends a private post-secondary institution from losing money if they prepaid tuition and suffered a financial loss as a result of the school closing and failing to live up to its enrollment agreement or refusing to pay a court judgment. You must pay the state-imposed assessment for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if all of the following apply to you:
1. You are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program and prepay all or part of your tuition either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal loans, and
2. Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program, or other payer, unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third party.
You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment if either of the following applies: 1. You are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program, or 2. Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program, or other payer and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party.
The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents or are enrolled in a residency program attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Private
Postsecondary Education. You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:
1. The school closed before the course of instruction was completed.
2. The school’s failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge was collected within 180 days before the closure of the school.
3. The school’s failure to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federally guaranteed student loan program as required by law or to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the school prior to closure in excess of tuition and other costs.
4. There was a material failure to comply with the Act or this Division within 30 days before the school closed, or if the material failure began earlier than 30 days prior to closure, the period determined by the Bureau.
5. An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for a violation of the Act. However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.
Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education at 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95833, bppe.ca.gov, 888-370-7589, or by fax 916-263-1897.

PRIVATE STUDENT LOAN OBLIGATION
If you obtain a loan to pay for this educational program, you have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest and apply any Bauman College refunds to the loan.

Sociolgical Immagination

...Emily Delaney Research Paper Sociology Sociological Imagination Bauman states that sociology is “first and foremost, a way of thinking about the human world” (Bauman 1990, p. 8). And all the material for sociological discoveries is made from the ordinary human experiences. “Anything sociology talks about was already there in our lives” (Bauman 1990, p.10). Bauman proves the impossibility to study sociological miracles with complete fairness, as a sociologist at first, part of this ordinary human world. And he also emphasizes the fact that “sociological discourse” is “wide open”. Bauman believes that thinking sociologically would make us more “sensitive” to our lives and the lives of other people to help us understand the different aspects of human experiences in happiness, sadness, desire, disappointments, misery etc. This essay is an attempt to understand what thinking sociologically really is by reviewing Zigmunt Bauman’s book “Thinking sociologically” which was first published in 1990. The sociological imagination is the concept of being able to “think ourselves away” from the familiar routines of our daily lives in order to look at them anew. Mills defined sociological imagination as “the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society” (Crossman 1991, p.1). I am going to summarize the first couple chapters of the book to further see the qualities of a human’s everyday life experience. Hopefully this will create an interest...

...state of our society today and the background for these perspectives, as well as highlighting their relevance to modern Britain. The postmodern world and postmodernity may be defined as a large, mainly cultural change from modernity which has seen a greater emphasis on pluralism and variety within the society (Macionis, 2011), we can relate such concepts to the likes of Bauman, Baudrillard and Lyotard who additionally place a large amount of importance on the size of such change and disruption (Stones, 2008). In contrast, a late modern world in relation to late modernity is defined as a society which has seen a rapid and almost uncontrollable growth of issues and institutional ideas pre-set and sustained within the philosophy of modernity, as well as the disappearance of boundaries which formally split such societies. (Macionis, 2011). With many features of modernity including technology and identity, as well as seemingly smaller issues such as anxiety, there is plenty to discuss in such a debate over postmodern and late modern worlds. As is clearly evident from the definitions above and as pointed out by Bauman, within Sociology and in the greater world there is no agreement on the existence of modernity and whether or not we live in a postmodern or late modern world in the UK today (Smith, 1999). Overall however it would seem that with specific evidence from and reference to the UK that we are...

The Effects of Zoonotic Diseases

...The Effects of Zoonotic Diseases Case Study #13 April 17, 2011 Zoonosis refers to an infectious disease in animals that can be transmitted to people. An animal serves as the natural reservoir for such an infectious agent, ("MedTerms," 2001). Many zoonoses, which is simply the plural meaning of zoonosis, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites can be transmitted to humans by various routes. Some of these routes consist of animal bites, vectors (i.e., insects), and animal-to-human contact (i.e., inhalation of respiratory droplets or skin-to-skin contact), (Bauman 613-14) & ("Infectious Diseases," 2009). Most emerging infections that have occurred world wide are said to be a zoonotic disease. Many of these diseases are fatal or have the potential to be fatal if not treated quickly and properly identified. An example of a zoonosis case that has the potential to arise annually is listed below: Case Study#13 “You work in a small family practice in rural VA. A man in his early 50’s comes in with a complaint of intermittent fever (102-103°F) and headache for the past two weeks. The physician examines him and takes a history. The only clinical finding is a wound about the size of a quarter on his right thumb. Axillary lymph nodes are swollen and tender. The man says he cut himself while skinning a rabbit three days ago.

...RELACIONES DE BOLSILLO (En base de Zygmunt Bauman, autor del ensayo El Amor Liquido) Bauman dice "Lo físico está de moda, lo metafísico, no" “Una relación de bolsillo es la encarnación de lo instantáneo y lo descartable” Se denominan así porque uno se las guarda para poder sacarlas cuando le hagan falta. Las relaciones de bolsillo se caracterizan por ser agradables ya que son breves y no necesita de esfuerzo, no poseen compromiso. Las personas que lo practican no desean armar o formar una relación, simplemente lo usan y lo dejan de usar en cualquier momento. Para disfrutar una relación de bolsillo es necesario: 1. No enamorarse, es necesario tener la mente clara y el corazón frio, pues, a menor inversión, menor inseguridad. Puede haber atracción, intensidades, química, sexo puro, pero no amor. 2. "La segunda condición es no bajar la guardia, mantenerse siempre alerta, no hacer concesiones que luego puedan prestarse a confusiones, vigilar la emergencia de corrientes o manifestaciones emocionales y si advierte que la situación se le está yendo de las manos, pues se torna más y más complicada, entonces, es que ha llegado el momento de continuar el viaje”, explica Bauman. “Conectarse y Desconectarse” podría ser el término de esta relación. Uno se conecta o desconecta cuando quiere, sin que ello tenga que significar lágrimas, desencanto o reproches. Uno de los motivos por el que las personas buscan este tipo de relaciones es el miedo al compromiso, más que todo en los...

Bullying Training

...Bullying Training Wendy Hensel BSHS/325 September 28, 2015 Jenny Coon Bullying Training According to Jacobsen and Bauman (2007) “School bullying was once considered a childhood ritual or rite of passage and therefore, often overlooked or ignored by many adults and school officials.” For a behavior to be considered bullying, it must contain three elements. It must be intended to harm, it must be repetitive, and there must be a difference of power-physical, social or other and must exist between the bully and the victim. Jacobsen and Bauman (2007) Bullying doesn’t discriminate. Bully’s like to abuse their power and pick on those who appear weak. They like to take control and make the victim feel like they have no identity. They like to make their victim feel small. There are three different types of bullying; verbal, physical and relational. Physical and verbal fall into direct bullying. This means it is directly at the victim. Verbal bullying happens quite a bit. It is often delivered in the form of name-calling, teasing, and other various verbal threats. Physical bullying is most often pushing, hitting and kicking the victim. This kind of bullying can be very dangerous. Indirect bullying involves relational bullying. Relational bullying is one of the worst forms of bullying. This type of bullying is through gossiping, rumors and making up stories about the victim. You can't tell if the bully is being serious or not. Usually, the victim tries to gain acceptance...

...cars they drive may become a status symbol. Warren Susman believes people buy goods to express their personality, which gives them a sense of self esteem or status, a desired lifestyle to aim for. (Susman 2003,pg.280cited in J Allen 2009). Whilst other sections of society with less disposable income may find themselves excluded. Although of course people do still shop for essentials, shopping has become much more of a leisure pursuit, or pastime, whole television channels are dedicated to shopping, and the after Christmas sales often make the headlines and the national news. Social scientist Zygmunt Bauman describes modern society as the seduced and the repressed. Bauman uses these words to illustrate and convey his concept, of consumer’s being seduced or enticed by the supermarkets, the repressed being those unable to take part either by circumstance or choice. (Zygmunt Bauman,1988 cited in J. Allen .,2009) There are many views on consumer society, it may very well be that some opt out preferring farmers markets which have become so popular in local areas. Or charity...

Rsch 202 Literature Review Paper

...Research Methods The Importance of Aviation Maintenance Introduction Aviation maintenance practices do not get followed like they should, too many mechanics tend to try and take shortcuts to get the job done. This can lead to catastrophic failures, and even death. Aviation maintenance work is a very importance piece of the productivity and maintainable condition with aircraft. Proper work and strong mechanical skills are needed. An airplane cannot just pull over in the clouds if an issue is suspected. This needs to be taken serious and stop with the shortcuts. A brief literature review According to an article posted by Matthew Bauman, there was a Naval Aviation Maintenance Program implemented in 1959 to help reduce the Class A. accidents (Bauman, 2013). Class A. accidents are those involving more than one million dollars in property damage. Matthew Bauman then continues with noting that more than 80 percent of issues are due to human error. “Understanding the role of human error in an accident or incident is fundamentally different from simply attributing such an event to an inherently fallible human operator” (Latorella & Prabhu, 2000). As holding a career as an aviation mechanic, there have been countless time of aircraft damage due to negligence, or just plain not paying attention. An article released in 2014, noted that a study done in the United Kingdom, tried to eradicate the root causes of aviation maintenance errors (Rashid, Place, & Braithwaite, 2014). It was a...

Globalisations

...Using material form Item A and elsewhere, assess the view that the growth of religious fundamentalism is a reaction to globalisation The view that the growth of religious fundamentalism is a reaction can be seen as true. The issue of religious fundamentalism has emerged as a major area of media and political concern in recent decades. Fundamentalism is religion based on an unquestioning belief in the literal truth of a scared text. Giddens, argues that fundamentalists are traditionalists who seek to return to the basics or fundamentals of their faith. They believe in the literal truth of scripture and that it provides answers to all life’s important questions, from politics to family life. Fundamentalists believe theirs is the only true view of the world. They refuse to engage in dialogue with others, they justify their views by reference to dogma and scare texts rather than rational arguments. Giddens notes that the term ‘fundamentalism’ is a relatively new one and he its growth as a product of and reaction to globalisation. However, Cosmopolitanism contrasts with fundamentalism. Cosmopolitanism is tolerant of the views of others and open to new ideas. Moreover, Giddens sees fundamentalism as the enemy of cosmopolitanism religion and spirituality. Religion, however, as argued by Bruce is used as cultural defence. This is where religion serves to unite a community against an external threat. Religion has special significance for its followers because it symbolises the...

Public Sociology

...C. Wright Mills' Sociological Imagination Works Cited Not Included In 1959, C. Wright Mills released a book entitled ‘The sociological Imagination’. It was in this book that he laid out a set of guidelines of how to carry out social analysis. But for a layman, what does the term ‘sociological imagination’ actually mean? In his own words, Mills claimed “it is the capacity to shift from one perspective to another…the capacity to range from the most impersonal and remote transformations to the most intimate features of the human self – and to see the relations between the two of them.” . Mills believed that being able to see the relationship between the ordinary lives of people and the wider social forces was the key to the sociological imagination. Fundamental to Mills’ theory is the idea of ‘public issues’ and ‘private troubles’. An individual’s troubles are personal when they occur because of the person’s character. Public issues, however, are a direct result of the problems within society, they affect people hugely but often the individual will assign the problem as their own personal downfall rather than as a societal problem. An ordinary man may get depressed about being unemployed and automatically accept it as his own personal trouble. He will be condemned as being ‘lazy’ or ‘work-shy’ and labelled simply as a ‘scrounger’. However, if there are thousands of other individuals also unemployed, Mills argues...

Autism

...retrieval (Donchin, Ritter, & McCallum, 1978). Edelson et al. (1999) examined auditory P300 activity prior to and three months following auditory integration training (AIT). Three autistic individuals participated in the experimental AIT group and two autistic individuals participated in a placebo group. Prior to AIT, all five individuals had abnormal auditory P300 activity, indicating an auditory processing problem. Three months following AIT, the results showed dramatic improvement in P300 activity for those who received AIT (i.e., a normalization of P300 activity) and found no change in those who received the placebo. We do not know the underlying reason for auditory processing problems in autism; however, autopsy research by Drs. Bauman and Kemper have shown that an area in the limbic system, the hippocampus, is neurologically immature...

Bureaucracy

...A bureaucracy is defined as a form of organisation that centres on precision, speed, reliability, and efficiency achieved through the creation of job specialisation, hierarchical structure and detailed rules and regulations. (Visitchaichan, n.d. p.5) Bureaucratic organisations have been around for a very long time. They began as primarily the structure for just a few political and religious organisations (e.g. the US Government and the Roman Catholic Church). But by the second half of the 19th century, businesses were becoming larger and more complicated, and there was a move from small, primarily family run organisations to huge companies with hundreds or even thousands of employees. It became clear that a new form of organisation was required to deal with the increasing administrative problems of these larger companies. (Volti, 2008, p.80) Max Weber created the idea of bureaucratic structure of organisation that he believed would counteract these issues. His theory, however, is permeated by scepticism. He describes the bureaucracy as the most dominant form of modern control, both positively and negatively. Although he describes bureaucracies as the fairest and most efficient method of control, he was alarmed by their rapid spread through state, business and institutions and concerned about the effect that they would have on the people within the bureaucratic structure. He argued that due to their technical superiority, bureaucracies would come to dominate all forms of human...

...the point that consumption shapes and reflects our lifestyle an identity. * Talk about the big four and the conclusions drawn TMA02 Outline the claim that consumption reflects and shapes our lifestyle and identity. Contemporary UK society today has moved from an industrial society that revolved around work to a society that now focuses on purchasing and having certain possessions, a ‘consumer society.’ There are many reasons why people consume such as to fulfil the desire to live a certain lifestyle or to reflect their hobbies and interests. The claim that Consumption reflects and shapes our lifestyle and identity can be backed by many forms of evidence. First are the theories that come from three important social scientists; Bauman (1988) ‘The seduced and repressed,’ who explains the restrictions different inequalities have on today’s consumer society, Veblen (1899) ‘Conspicuous consumption,’ who suggests that consumption is used for social reasons as much as personal ones and Susman (2003) ‘The Performing Self,’ who argues...

Bullying

...orientation influence the styles of bullying and how it can affect their self esteem and what it can do to affect their family dynamic. I am hopeful there can be a better understanding on the reasoning behind bullying and maybe even a better solution to help us get a handle on the situation at large. From what I have been learning there has to be three elements to be considered bullying. First off there has to be intent to harm another and it must be repetitive. There must also be a difference of power, physical, social or other must exist between the bully and the victim. Now we can break this down further to say that bullying is a division of aggression that is typically broken down as physical, verbal, or relational. (Jacobsen & Bauman, 2007). We have seen more physical bullying accompanied by social media by means of many social media sites such as face book, twitter, snap chat and several others that people use today. There is also a growing trend in...
