	Sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social interactions of people and their consequences are the subject of sociology studies.
		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.

	Chapter I: The Conceptual Issues : SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY - International Institute for Labour ...
		Social exclusion in this context referred to a process of social disintegration, in the sense of a progressive rupture of the relationships between the individual and society.
		Social exclusion is a property of society if racial, sexual and other forms of discrimination are present, if the markets through which people earn a livelihood are segmented, or if public goods, which in theory should be available to everyone, are "semi-public".
		Social exclusion, in these studies, includes social deprivations of various kinds and can be seen as a multi-dimensional concept of poverty which, in the former study, includes individuals' and groups' sense of self-esteem.

		The Social Summit should call on all governments to ratify the six core Human Rights Treaties, the International Convention Relating to the Protection of Migrant Workers and their Families, and the relevant ILO conventions by the year 2000, without reservations that are contradictory to their intention and meaning.
		To achieve social development that caters for a broad range of fundamental human needs at least 50% of Official Development Assistance should be allocated to social development areas, which would include primary health care, reproductive health, education, shelter, water and sanitation, credit, institutional support and work guarantee schemes for people in poverty.
		Data on social development and environmental sustainability, including those related to health, education, income distribution, disaggregated by gender, are lacking and need to be seriously gathered and used as the basis for new indicators for sustainability and social development.

	Social Exclusion and Anti-Poverty Strategy: Patterns and Causes of Social Exclusion: Publications: International ...
		Although social exclusion within countries is the result of the way in which their economic, social and political institutions are changing and the nature of domestic policies, the studies make it clear that social exclusion cannot simply be attributed to "internal factors".
		Social exclusion is then understood as an outcome of the rate and pattern of economic growth, the ways in which key social institutions are exclusionary and inclusionary, and the different opportunities for action which different categories of persons - defined for example, by gender, ethnicity, age - face.
		Secondly, social exclusion in developing country contexts, many of which are participating in a recent wave of democratization, is not only closely associated to the presence or absence of social rights (which are of critical importance in Western Europe) but also to the enforcement of civil and political rights.

	Society for Philosophy and Technology - volume 2, number 1
		Fisher (1982) has observed that the composition and structure of social networks are different in urban and rural communities, and that rural social networks are more dense and based on the family; while in urban zones, networks tend to be less dense and composed of fewer family members.
		The strength of social relationships depends fundamentally on information processes: when the individual is incapable of adequately interpreting the signals and information coming from his most important social relationships, he/she is at a disadvantage and is vulnerable to environmental demands.
		It could be maintained that the social support concept was confirmed when its value was shown as a theoretical construct intervening between a stress situation and a change in health; this, along with the process of coping and stress, forms one of the key elements in the study of mental health (Veiel and Baumann, 1990).

		For all the social changes in China can be traced to their early beginnings in the days when the new tools or vehicles of commerce and locomotion first brought the Chinese people into unavoidable contact with the strange ways and novel goods of the Western peoples.

	Sociology
		Sociology as a discipline emerged in the 19th century as an academic response to the challenge of modernity: as the world is becoming smaller and more integrated, people's experience of the world is increasingly atomized and dispersed.
		Sociologists often rely on quantitative methods of social research to describe large patterns in social relationships, and in order to develop models that can help predict social change and how people will respond to social change.
		Among sociologists who model their work on the successful sciences of physics or chemistry, social theory may be applied to all work produced outside of the scientific method, in contradistinction to a sociological theory which has been "correctly" tested.

	REDEFINING THE GLOBAL SOCIAL CRISIS
		Yet unemployment, poverty, and inequality continue to increase, the social fabric of family and community is disintegrating, and the ability of the ecosystem to support human life is being destroyed all at accelerating rates.
		Dealing with the world's social crises requires a more holistic approach that views the development of healthy societies to be the goal, deals with the market economy as one of several means to realize that goal, and returns economic and political control to people.
		In general, public policy proposals intended to correct these indicators of serious social dysfunction take no account of the fact that they are a direct consequence of the destruction of the social economy, which is in turn a consequence of the same unsound economic policies commonly favored by efforts to increase employment.

		The first one is present when one speaks of societies that disintegrate because of the spread of endemic violence or mass poverty or of the disintegration of states that break apart due to ethnic and national conflict.
		Social integration refers to the extent and intensity of the inter-linkages among the constituent parts of a social unit.
		This requires a basic minimum of social welfare for everybody in terms of income, education and accommodation; the absence of relations of total dependency in the family or at a place of work; and a common sphere of public social life which is not segregated into ethnic ghettos or no-go-areas.

		A factor in this social disintegration is the disintegration of ritual, in family, society and religious bodies.
		Rather than seeing this disintegration and this counter-ritual as purely negative, one can look at the possibilities offered to unity within pluralism in a society whose culture is increasingly affected by media communication and the evolution of cyberspace.
		The disintegration of ritual forms and participation is typical of a period of social and cultural change.

		Social integration occurs when there is a harmonic performance of a society as a whole to satisfy human needs at every level, namely: basic conditions for living, safety, sense of belongingness, recognition of self-merits, and full realization of positive human potential.
		In Wobehalan all the considered issues related to social integration were neglected and disrupted for one century and, as a logical result, there was a violent political-military conflict that reached its peak in the 1980’s, and was ended through a successful mediation and peace-accords-building process.
		Some efforts of modernization were impelled by the military rule, but in essence the social regime was unjust and exclusory, the political regime was repressive and the economic regime was characterized by an unequal distribution of the national income.

		The concern raised earlier by NGO participants that the revised draft would result in a shedding of the structural and social aspects of the three themes of poverty, unemployment and social disintegration appears to have been well founded.

		Yet, we are also fully aware many of those obstacles cannot be removed without a concurrent effort to reduce the vulnerability of the developing countries in the global political and economic system, and to increase the participation of developing countries in the international macro-economic decision making process.
