The majority are able to influence because of other peoples desire to be accept or their desire to be accepted or their desire to be right. Minority influence normally involves a shift in private opinion. The minority must be consistent and flexible to succeed Social scientists attempt to support any assertion
In certain situations that include violence, peer pressure, and lack of responsibility, most people are likely to throw common sense aside and follow the orders of a higher authority figure. People’s common sense is influenced when they are in a situation that gives them power to control others, when they are under pressure by people in a group atmosphere, and when they are not forced to take responsibility for their actions. When given permission by a higher authority to harm or injure another human being, many would assume that common sense comes into effect and people would make the morally correct decision. However, studies of obedient behavior illustrate how compliant people can be when in the presence of an authoritative figure. For example, when an authority figure assures a subject that full responsibility is not the subject’s, he or she is more likely to continue even if it causes harm to another person.
The greater the potential benefit, the greater the chances are a person would socially invest time and energy into an individual in order to form a strong and sound relationship. People make these decisions according to the theory based on their individual satisfaction level within the relationship. Individuals typically have a high level of satisfactory when they’ve recognized that they are receiving more than they are giving, however, on the other hand, if an individual feels that they are giving more than they are receiving, they may decide that the connection is not fulfilling their needs and will begin to search elsewhere to find fulfillment.
Prestige can also come from other sources, such as athletic or intellectual ability. In those instances, prestige can lead to property, if people are willing to pay for access to prestige. For Weber, wealth and prestige are intertwined. Power and Wealth Weber believed that social class is also a result of power, which is merely the ability of an individual to get his or her way, despite opposition. Wealthy people tend to be more powerful than poor people, and power can come from an individual’s prestige.
Without our voice the world would be nothing. Voices let us stand up for what we believe in and let us share our thoughts to someone who might think differently than us. Many people feel that their voice isn't as important as others, when people don't listen to what others have to say it puts people down, and makes them not want to express themself with their voice. You might say, "well isn't Barrack Obama's voice is more important than mine?" And, thats not true.
The idea of whether trust is assumed or earned in a team setting depends largely on the individual team members. Their past experiences, cultural influences and personal preferences greatly influence their willingness or ability to automatically trust new team members or to force those new team members to earn trust. According to organizational effectiveness consultant, Erik Granered, “..trust is universally understood as a concept in all cultures. But it is not earned in the same way.” For example, an American may be more inclined to automatically trust a new team member while individuals from France or Italy may be much more reluctant to trust initially and then eventually warm up after the new member has proven themselves to be trustworthy. These are broad generalizations and one must keep in mind that all cultures are rapidly evolving and continuously influencing one another throughout their ongoing interactions (Granered, 2006).
Different people have different interpretations of what success means to them. For some, success is measured by social status and wealth; for others success is determined only by the amount of happiness one feels. Money is the main concern for some people. It is a crucial necessity for anyone who is trying to succeed in life. Many believe that the only way to succeed is to have a lot of money.
Judging people involves looking from different angles. Yet, for most cases in today’s competitive society, such as college applications, job interviews, music auditions or whatever situation where people need to support someone or promote something, past experience and achievements are the most important criteria. Supporters of this notion believe that experience is a more convincing predictor of success than potential. Compared to the uncertainty pertinent to one’s potential, one’s past accomplishments are more reliable evidence of one’s capabilities because they can be measured against objective standards. However, simply prioritising achievements over potential denies the fact past achievements may not be a holistic revelation of one’s true capabilities.
It’s important that institutions know what is truly valuable to them, their success or the success of their students; because they can ultimately become deciding factors in the futures of their students and attendees. It will aid students in the future to have the ability to listen to contrasting opinions without slandering them, but at the time, many students may disagree and simply leave the school. This is why I mentioned that institutions must be sure of their true intent. A speech that the majority of the campus agrees with will rarely change them, often-times it takes a controversial message to cause people to think and
It is widely argued that nature affect one’s character more than nurture, and people have different views on what influences them the most; whether it’s their nature and background or the way they were raised. Firstly, many people believe that someone’s nature and disposition has a huge impact on his or her character as a whole. People with good backgrounds usually turn out to be the better out of everyone around them, their morals and ethics show what their personality is like and the only way that anything would change in their character is to relive those moments of maturing in a different environment than what they lived in before. The comparison between a human with a well supported temperament and an animal with the same qualitative nature draws an assertion and direct conclusion to what are the differences between nature and nurture. In addition, good habits as well as bad habits can be picked up from someone’s background and nature; for many persons have been victims of bad influences caused by those who are always around them.
