The Importance of Setting Personal Goals Not many people realize it, but everything we do goes towards trying to achieve something. These goals are what help us get up in the morning, ensure we get enough rest, push us to attain work-related quotas, and so much more. Without goals, life would pass by in a blur. After all, what is the purpose of doing anything if you are not looking to attain any desirable result? Every new groundbreaking event in our lives, or in the lives of those we look up to, tends to stir up a need for achieving continuous success. However, saying something and going through with doing it are two different things. Anyone can say whichever word in the heat of the moment. It could be to get a job, to create a relationship, adopt a new habit, among other reasons. The challenging part comes in having parameters in place to guarantee we arrive at the goals we set out to attain. That is why you will come across many people planning their new year’s resolutions…
Social solidarity Social solidarity can be termed as the aspect of human socialization that emphasizes and reflects on the common bond that abides all group members and by which all members of the said group understand and value. On the verge of categorizing communities based on the division of labor in the society, Emile Durkheim developed two types of solidarity in the society mainly Mechanical and Organic Solidarity. These types of societies differ in how individuals relate and how labor is distributed in that society (Durkheim & Emile 2010). This review will highlight the two societal contexts as well as give a detailed explanation of the kind of society I live in while giving a detailed explanation about that societal context. In a society with mechanical solidarity, its unity and integration are derived from the equality of all members. All individuals are given the same accord. Everyone is connected through the allocation of similar work, lifestyle, training as well as societal teachings. This kind of society was best operational in a traditional context and can also be best implemented in…

Functionalist theorists Functionalists argue that there will always be some inequality in society and that this is functional for society. Explain the argument. Functionalist theorists compare society with how the human body functions. They view the society as composed of interrelated components, which must function in unison to ensure the bigger system worked. As a lens from which social inequality can be considered, functionalists point out manners in which inequality is operational for society. According to the functionalist perspective, the contrast between the ethnic and racial groups is mostly cultural (Gordon 1964). The group of minority members ends up being part of the large group; hence, their original distinct group identity lost. The perspective ignores that assimilation has a similar experience for entire ethnic groups, assuming the historical slavery legacy and discrimination in terms of race in our society, and ignoring that the group that is dominating is the one whose identity and culture is preferred. The minorities are ready to assume, and also assuming that social integration is an objective that is shared. One of the functionalism version discusses…
