This theory was first developed by Abraham Maslow. He described that self-actualizing people share such things like awareness and acceptance of themselves and lean towards spontaneity and openness and are very positive people in general. Maslow believed that the highest personal need was that of self-actualization. Later, Carl Rogers introduced conditions of worth where in the effort to gain positive regard from others, people will deny their true selves to meet expectations. An advantage of this theory is that it drives parents to encourage their children at a young age to build up a large self-esteem; their sense of self-worth.
Social psychology and prosocial behaviour are contributing factors to helping behaviours. McDougall argued that prosocial behaviour is the result of “tender emotions” created by the parental instinct (1908). There is a meso level of analysis that examines helping behaviours at a personal level, where one helps another person. So, when do people help? Firstly we have to consider the bystander intervention.
However, others would use advertisements for their own self-interest, such as promoting some certain products to gain more profits. Advertisements surely have some positive effects on the people; however, the negative effects that they place on the people, especially consumers, outweigh the positive ones. There is no doubt that advertisement that is used to encourage people to give blood to save others in the society (Source A) has positive effect on the people and the society as a whole. This kind of advertisement connects the people to their community by informing them about the way that they can help others. It is appropriately used to promote the health of the community and encourage the people to communicate with each other through charity and good work.
Everyone has the desire to seek approval and acceptance, Positive reinforcement is the process whereby desirable behaviour is encouraged by presenting a reward at the time of occurrence of such behaviour. Through reinforcing positive behaviour you are encouraging that individual to seek attention through positive methods rather than unacceptable methods (such as challenging behaviour). Also by focusing on prompting positive behaviour can also have the effect on yourself rather than feeling angry and frustrated due to behaviours you promote that calm, relaxed positive behaviour. 2.6 Evaluate the impact on an individual’s wellbeing of using reactive rather than proactive strategies. Using reactive rather than proactive concentrates on the negatives of a behaviour rather than positivity, this would more than likely cause animosity towards staff, emotions would be high for a majority of the time and the individual could become distressed for large periods of time, the support from staff would not be positive making the individual feel isolated and alone, causing more anger and more than likely more behaviours.
The ethos of the advertisement is that families can have fun while trying to defeat evil and that unity form power and teams. 3c. what kind of consumer would respond positively to this ad? What kind of consumer would respond negatively? Justify your reasons/explain why?
Once this reluctance is overcome our society will improve dramatically. It is a proven truth that the betterment and improvement of any social system depends upon the depth of the relationship which its individuals enjoy. Moreover, educating students about diverse cultures can help them understand their own culture in a better manner. Contrasting their own trends and ideas with others, is a very good way of understanding that what is better and why. The juvenile minds will not only learn about other cultures, but will also get closer to their own culture.
He also added that people also have “social sentiments”, which is feelings that connect us with other people and make us concerned about their welfare as well. And therefore, Hume stated that we measure right and wrong by the true interest of humanity. Utilitarianism is a principle that we ought to do whatever will produce the greatest happiness. It is a combination of three ideas: First, the morality of action solely depends on its consequences. Second, we should do whatever will cause the most happiness or least unhappiness.
In this paper the subject to discuss includes two arguments in reference to the existence of true altruism, better known as the ability to help others unselfishly. The “yes” side of the argument is the views of C. Daniel Batson and his colleagues who believe people are capable of helping others with true unselfish interest. The “no” side of the argument is the views of Robert Cialdini and his colleagues who believe people often help others as self fulfillment that allows people to make themselves feel better. Summary of Arguments Social psychologist C. Daniel Batson and his colleagues propose that “people sometimes help for purely altruistic reasons” (Nier, 2010, Issue 17, Issue Summary, para. 1).
The Pre-Conventional level of moral reasoning is focused on children whose understanding of morality is driven by its direct consequences. An action that produces a reward is considered “right” as in an action that results in a punishment is considered “wrong”. Towards the end of this stage, individuals begin to understand what is socially acceptable and deliberately conform to society’s rules in order to receive rewards. Individuals, particularly adolescents and adults, in the Conventional level act morally ‘right’ because they believe meeting society’s expectations is necessary in promoting good personal relationships and a healthy environment. In Stage 3, the self enters society by embracing social roles and acknowledging the approval and disapproval of others in accordance with social standards.
Role of education Darcy Fletcher Functionalists believe education performs two contradictory functions , on one hand they believe that educations prepares children for their specialised role acquired to their skills and potential. So they can perform at the best they can at their role after education. On the contrary they believe society needs to share the same goals and outlook in order to co-operate. Functionalism is based on the view that society is a system of interdependant parts which is held together by value consensus. Durkheim argued that society has to feel a sense of social solidarity , he believes that without this form of social cohesion , society would be impossible because each person would pursue their own ‘ selfish’ desires.
