Thinking about normal social interactions and normal social behaviors, I think of comfortable. When I sit down with a friend, a usual routine is followed, “Hey, how are you, what’s new?” (e.g. My turn, your turn). These questions between my friend and I include eye contact, attention, and facial expression. Usually, I feel that I give my friend my undivided attention. Other normal characteristics include: remembering what the person has just said so a comment can be made, as well as each comment is appropriate and in relation to the current topic. Moreover, the duration between each question or comment is short. Observe Social Behaviors in People with TBI Having a conversation and/or observing people with a TBI can be much different than …show more content…
I observed many residents and saw many difficulties the residents have. Some of the difficulties of the two main residents I observed included: memory and social skills. My interaction with the first resident was very interesting. I had to repeat the topic many times because the resident had trouble remembering. She was aware that her memory was not very good and apologized many times. I also spent some time with another resident that had difficulties with social skills. I had to mention that his comments were not very nice and inappropriate. Overall, behaviors of a person with a TBI are much different than with a person who does not have a TBI. These conversations can be more difficult at times, in that the person without the TBI has to practice patience and at times give cues (e.g. remind the person of the topic, remind them of something they may have forgotten, not word find for them as this can be frustrating for the …show more content…
TBIs can impact these areas in many ways, for an example, according to Spikman et al. (2013); focal prefrontal damage can result in problems with social cognition, emotional recognition, memory, and executive functioning. Difficulties in these areas mentioned previously can cause drastic effects for a person such as employment, relationships, and conversations. For a specific case, the lady that I observed at the Crumley house had adequate social skills, however, had deficits in her memory that impacted social engagement. She had trouble with her short-term memory, short-term memory is a common deficit within the TBI population (Slovarp, Azuma, & LaPointe, 2012). During our conversation together, I had to repeat the topic several times and the most recent comment I made. For an example: (ME) “I love these blueberry scones.” What’s your favorite dessert you have tried so far? (TBI Resident) “I like this brownie, what’s your favorite?” Her difficulties, I believe, are due to prefrontal lobe damage. An additional area that could be affected is the temporal lobe, more specifically deep within this lobe to the hippocampus and the amygdala. Damage to the temporal lobe can result in difficulty retaining verbal information (Ariza et al.,
Bystander effect and obedience to authority are theories that can be compared and contrasted. Bystander effect is, for example, when someone is publicly in need and even though there are many people passing by or in the area, no one stops to help because they’ve seen no one else stop to help. In a video called The Bystander Effect they did an experiment to test the theory by having an actor lay by the steps of a busy area in Liverpool and moan “Help me”. The actor, Peter, was passed by many people who glanced his way, but didn’t stop to help even after 20 minutes of him yelling for help. Next they had a lady lay on the steps and after 4 minutes and 30 seconds a man finally comes over to help and forms what a narrator refers to as a new group with new rules to actually help. After the man comes to her assistance so does another lady and then more people follow. In the next part of the experiment they have Peter come back dressed as business man and it only takes 6 seconds before someone comes to help him. A real life example of bystander effect is the police brutality incident that happened at Spring Valley High School where a 15 year old girl was tackled and assaulted by a police officer for no reason that justified that treatment. In the video her peers and teacher just stood by and watched it happen without stepping in or speaking up. I think even
The IDEA for TBI is that an acquired injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total or partial functional disability or psychological impairment, or both, that adversely affects a child 's educational performance. (exceptional lives: special education in today
Sociocultural psychology began with Lev Vygotsky in 1931 in dealing with how people react to their environments, pressures, and influences that surround the individual in everyday life. This is a slowly expanding approach that is working towards treating psychological diseases such as obsessive compulsive disorder, also commonly known as OCD.Social psychology focuses mainly on how people react to their surroundings and others in society. Many psychologists go about treating illnesses, such as OCD and eating disorders, by placing people into situations where they have to confront their problems. Many psychologists such as Solomon Asch and Stanley Milgram performed experiments to observe how people react to surroundings and pressures.

The way I would promote the next level of development for Milian is to talk about the fishes in the tanks, the colors and the sizes of the fish along with perhaps naming the fishes. Theodore is very close to his mother, and was near her or on her during my whole time there. I would encourage the mother to join me at the tank, and we can talk about the fishes with Theodore, and also bring other infants to the tank.
There are many different factors that take place in an individual’s life that plays a role in how they live. It is important to be familiar with those factors that are found in the communities, because those factors can either be causing good health or harm to individuals (WHO, 2016). This paper will discuss the factors contributing to social, economics, physical, and environmental determinants of health in a community known as, Vista Alegre.
Traumatic brain injury or TBI occurs when a child has a head injury that causes damage to the brain. These injuries can be caused from being hit in the head or violently shaken. The results of TBI can change how a person’s brain develops, how they act, move, and think. It can also affect how they learn in school (NICHCY, 2012). TBI can affect the way a child thinks, retains information, attention span, behavior, speech, physical activities (which includes walking), and the way a child learns.
Observation allows researchers to experience a specific aspect of social life and get a firsthand look at a trend, institution or behaviour. It promotes good communication skills, improves decision making and enhances awareness.
Other than that, Human interaction is also an issue on human factor social issues for using information systems in an organization. Human interaction issues include recruitment and retention of organization staffs, assessment and evaluation of users, motivation, social presence, leadership and also organizational champions. Human interaction which is also known as Human Computer Interaction or Man-machine interaction representing human and machine interface. This is because the computers or machines are totally worthless or useless unless they can be properly operated by the humans. However, both sides play an important role in a successful interaction. On the machine side, computer graphics, operating system, programming languages are an important consideration. On the other hand, the human side psychology issue such as; user satisfaction, communication theory, linguistic are brought into consideration. Human interaction is concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks within various contexts. In an organization system, the system will focus on functionalities and data requirements which meet the organizational need. However, the values of the system are only visible when it is efficiently utilized by the users. Therefore, balancing between functionality and usability of a system when choosing a system is very important to achieve or accomplish goals and tasks by users. Functionality of a system is defined by the actions and services that it provides to the user. Systems are chosen based on user’s preference. Usability of a system represents the percentage of functions of the specific system are able to be used by the users. Therefore, users will choose systems which suit their usages. However,...
Sociology is distinguished by the study of sociology theories, which play a significant key role in enabling us to analyze different societies. Sociology theories give us different outlooks different perspectives within factors of different societies that can be analyzed. This will make it easier for someone to understand and predict social behavior and happenings within societies that offer great importance to our generation. This author will focus on sociologist concepts that are related to the videos for our assignments and factors that have been put into consideration including: aging, discrimination and social theories with an increase in the size of the older population in relation to the younger generation. These videos in relating to aging, discrimination and social satisfaction I am going to analyze the findings that were a result in which will give an analytical detail of aging.
Socialization is a never ending process that continues to change our perspectives to help us learn and adapt to a social reality. This lifelo.ng process can be split up into two different parts; primary socialization, the first socialization an individual undergoes in childhood, and secondary socialization, when an individual adapts to a specific group within society. Although one may believe that secondary socialization has more power over primary socialization since it is current and therefore more relevant, primary socialization has more authority considering that it lays down the foundation for all future socializations. Our initial values, attitudes, and actions are more important since we internalize them
The way that each individual interprets, retrieves, and responds to the information in the world that surrounds you is known as perception. It is a personal way of creating opinions about others and ourselves in everyday life and being able to recognize it under various conditions. Each person’s perceptions are used as a kind of filter that every piece of information has to pass through before it determines the effect that it has or will have on the person from the stimulus. It is convincing to believe that we create multiple perceptions about different situations and objects each day. Perceptions reflect our opinions in many ways. The quality of a person’s perceptions is very important and can affect the response that is given through different situations. Perception is often deceived as reality. “Through perception, people process information inputs into responses involving feelings and action.” (Schermerhorn, et al.; p. 3). Perception can be influenced by a person’s personality, values, or experiences which, in turn, can play little role in reality. People make sense of the world that they perceive because the visual system makes practical explanations of the information that the eyes pick up.
Not all of the teams work well. Such problem as free-riding, or social loafing, is quite a common one and is very difficult to resolve. A lot of managers and teachers struggle with it. Each and every team should have these 3 key elements: “Interaction, Information sharing and Influence over decision making” (Michael West, year).
Recognizing the influence of culture is an important aspect for social workers when working with diverse populations. The client is a 30-year-old single African-American (AA) single woman with a child. Culture identifies a set of values and beliefs in a community and its corresponding worldview. As the AA culture has been forced to assimilate into the dominant culture, their own culture has been slowly forgotten. The client has deep roots to her ancestors and has mainstreamed into a new dimension. The client is reconnecting with her Baptist faith as she has lost the support from spiritual leaders. “African-Americans have developed abilities and coping mechanisms to deal with racism, and they rely on their social systems that have been perfected over the generations” (Marsiglia & Kulis, 2009, p. 187). The client represents a very diverse cultural group and the intersection of social class and gender which contributes to her oppression. The client is a single AA female with a son, living in poverty, lack of education, unemployed, with a felony charge, and receiving cash assistance from the state to support her son.
Abstract Chapter 2, Social Pathology and Perspectives, begin with Dr. Earl Rubington and Dr. Martin Weinberg explaining the origin of the concept of defining what to do about a Social Problem. This chapter discusses the organic analogy, child savers, and a universal criterion for pathology, how pathology is used in everyday life and the moral premise of social pathology. The Concept of Social Problems First, Rubington and Weinberg suggest that urbanization, around the 19th century, was the root cause of social problems. The migration of farmers and countrymen into the cities and factories created situations where there were migrations from inside and outside of the American borders created unstable conditions for living and working.
