Sociology lets us define and explain human behavioralism such as Beliefs. Specific ideas that people in society hold to be true is the root existence of Beliefs. Beliefs are particular matters which people hold to be true or false. Values pertain to beliefs, Values are culturally defined standards that people use to decide what is desirable, good, and beautiful which serves as a broad guideline for social living. People sharing a culture are looking at the same Values to make choices about how to live.
Therefore to treat and care for us we need different choices based on our personal needs and desires. 1.3 Person centred values should influence all aspects of social care work to make sure that an individual is, - supported to maintain their right to dignity, independence, choice and safety. - Protecting them from abuse. - Providing Person-centred care - Accept their identity and beliefs - Promoting anti-discriminatory practice. 2.1 Finding out about the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual will paint the whole picture of that person.
Society Society Functionalism Functionalism holds that everyone and everything in society, no matter how strange it may seem, serves a purpose. Functionalism is an approach that sees the social institutions in society working in harmony with each other. Functionalists believe that our society works together with each other in institutions/groups such as; the family, the education system or legal system, with each of them having a social role or position in their society. Everyone has a function within society. Everyone must put something into society and if you put something into society, you will gain something back.
I will draw from the experience I have gained during my work placement, to demonstrate my awareness of the difficulties therein. The Collins Dictionary of Social Work (1995, p. 390) defines a value as, "a belief that something is good and desirable, It defines what is important, worthwhile and worthwhile striving for". According to Beckett and Maynard (2011 p.14) it is imperative to be aware of one's own values and belief systems and where they come from, as they are likely to influence any decisions made. Consequently, social workers need to give priority to their responsibility towards service users, regardless of their own morals and values, as it is highly possible that they may differ. Furthermore, it is important to recognise when there may be a conflict between the two, as it is likely to impinge upon the social worker's ability to concentrate on the service user's needs as opposed to their own.

The Power of Norms According to our textbook, social norms are established standards of behavior that are maintained by a society. Norms can be broken down into categories of formal and informal norms, as well as mores and folkways. Some norms are more strictly enforced, while others are simply understood and don’t need to be implemented with force. Norms are important because they help to maintain social order within a particular society. They can also be what distinguishes one culture from another.
He was interested in studying memory under strict scientific conditions and by greatly simplifying his research he was able to point out some distinctive elements of Human memory which before were unknown (Baddeley, 1997). Developments since then have been numerous for example theories of hypothetical memory systems have been produced which have seen considerable support. Atkinson and Shriffin’s multi-store model (1968) shares some similarities with the Working memory Model introduced by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, which are two examples of these hypothetical models. The focus of this essay will be the Working memory Model. A point about the dual- task method will also be mentioned as it is a research method of vital importance to the model itself.
A theoretical approach is a basic image of society that guides thinking and research. Two very important theoretical prespective are the structural –functionalism and the conflict theory. These two theoretical prespective are classified as macrosociology because they focus on large groups, social institution and society and they both have basic underlying ideas. The basic underlying idea of structural fuctionalisnm is that all parts of society needs to make a contribution to operate as whole and maintain society. Each elements in this structural fuctionalism are interdependent and a change in one element would lead to the changes in the other elements.
UNDERSTANDING COMMUNICATION ESSAY The adaption of myth to communicate symbolic meanings in messages to an audience. Communication is a vital and prominent feature of everyday life. An all-encompassing aspect of behaviour, communication can be identified as any means of interaction in society. Craig best defines communication theory as “a coherent field of metadiscursive practice, a field of discourse about discourse with implications for the practice of communication. The various traditions of communication theory each offer distinct ways of conceptualizing and discussing communication problems and practices” (Craig 1999 p.120).
