	Social cycle theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social cycle theory (also known as sociological theory of cycles) is one of the earliest social theories in sociology.
		Unlike the theory of social evolutionism, which views the evolution of society and human history as progressing in some new, unique direction(s), social cycle theory argues that events and stages of society and history are repeating themselves in cycles and thus there cannot be any social progress.
		Interpretation of history as the repeating cycles of events was first put forward in the academic world in the 19th century in historiosophy (a branch of historiography) and was soon adopted by sociology.

	Social theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social theory refers to the use of theoretical frameworks to explain and analyze social patterns and large-scale social structures.
		Though many commentators consider social theory a branch of sociology, it functions inherently in an interdisciplinary manner, as it uses ideas from and contributes to a plethora of disciplines such as anthropology, economics, theology, history, and many others.
		They differed on where that path would lead: social progress, technological progress, decline or even fall, etc. Social cycle theorists were much more skeptical of the Western achievements and technological progress, however, arguing that progress is but an illusion in of the ups and downs of the historical cycles.

	Sociology - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Sociologists are concerned with the characteristics of social groups, organizations, and institutions; the ways individuals are affected by each other and by the groups to which they belong; and the effect of social traits such as sex, age, or race on a person’s daily life.
		Social theory refers to the use of abstract and often complex theoretical frameworks to explain and analyze social patterns and macro social structures in social life, rather than explaining patterns of social life.
		In the 19th century three great, classical theories of social and historical change were created: the social evolutionism theory (of which social darwinism is a part of), the social cycle theory and the Marxist historical materialism theory.

	Chapter Two
		It is in this vipran stage of the social cycle that the cultural life of society flourishes, and human beings attain new heights of awareness and mental development under the influence of benevolent vipras.
		While the rotation of the social cycle is inevitable, the influence of socio-spiritual visionaries who have outstepped the interests of a single social class, can smooth its progress and limit the extent of exploitation and the periods of turmoil.
		They are able to accelerate the social cycle as soon as the signs of social decay or exploitation are evident, enacting the transition to the next age in a positive manner.

		Social Imperialism was the term used by the Chinese to describe the Soviet Union after the Sino-Soviet Split.
		Those social struggles which arise on the basis of irreconcilable conflicts within a society or which strike at the very basis of society have to be distinguished from social movements, which on the whole, aim to achieve their goals within the bounds of existing society.
		Social democrats often say that the most effective way of defending and improving workers’ living standards is not to award pay rises, but to increase the benefits that workers receive via state services.

	The Social Delegation Cycle - Boella, van der Torre (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		We introduce a model of their relation based on what we call the social delegation cycle, which explains the creation of norms from agent desires in three steps.
		First individual agent desires generate group goals, then a group goal is individualized in a social norm, and finally the norm is accepted by the agents when it leads to the fulfilment of the desires the cycle started with.

		Social evolution, according to Prout, is acceleration of the speed of the social cycle by the application of force.
		Prout distinguishes between evolution and natural change in that evolution of the movement of the social cycle is accelerated by the application of force by morally and spiritually enlightened well-wishers of society who form an independent, declassed group of people.
		According to Prout, reversing the movement of the social cycle by the application of tremendous force is called counter-revolution.

	Arguments on Reincarnation--The Social Cycle (14 of 14)
		We reincarnate because the various powers that make up a human being have variant cycles of manifestation; the variation in the length of the cycles brings about an alternative aggregation and disaggregation, called "birth" and "death" in the case of man and animal.
		The cycle of national birth and death can no more be avoided than can that of a man, but those concerned have it in their power to make the national cycle a useful and honorable one or the reverse.
		These cycles, of course, are only roughly 1,500-year cycles, and probably very few individuals are reborn in exactly that time, some being gone for only a few years, others for thousands.

	Comments: Nutrition in the life cycle and social development
		The valley of death is also characterized by many behavioral deficiencies, some of which may be triggered by lower levels of physical activity and a more timid and apprehensive personality, both traits that lead to reduced interaction between the child and his mother, family, and environment (Allen et al., 1992).
		It is possible to break the vicious cycle of malnutrition and social development in several ways.
		Suboptimal nutrition during pregnancy is related to social conditions, the treatment of women in society, employment, age at marriage, birth interval, and many other factors that currently cannot be addressed with cost-effective programs.

		If that is our assumption, we forget that the lunar cycle is not a twenty-eight-day cycle, but approximately twenty-nine days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes and three seconds -- or 29.5306 days between new moons.
		It was the Church that was responsible for integrating the Jewish and astrological weeks together and spreading the seven-day cycle throughout most of the world.
		We have also observed cycles in our bodies which interact with those around us such as our daily sleep rhythms, daily temperature and blood pressure fluctuations, and the menstrual cycle which follows the lunar cycle precisely averaging 29.5 days.

	A SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY: SELF TYPES AND THEIR DIFFERENCES ACROSS GENERATIONS AND THE LIFE-CYCLE
		In studying the lives of older social scientists and educators, Robert Havighurst and his associates employed an omnibus personality inventory that included measures of such traits as social extroversion, complexity, practical outlook, anxiety level, theoretical orientation, warmth and sociability, self-sufficiency, emotional stability, aggressiveness, and personal integration.
		Of interest to sociologically-inclined social psychologists is the social distribution of different self-types: how particular socio-historical climates can give rise to a preponderance of a given self-type in a society and how, in turn, this can affect a society's collective attitude and its religious, political, and economic orders.
		Over the years, the NORC General Social Survey included such questions as "Were you living with both your own mother and father around the time you were 16?" and, if not, "What happened?" (with such categories as one or both parents died, parents were divorced or separated, etc.).
