Let me introduce you to the "Father of Sociology".
 |
| Emile Durkheim, Father of Sociology 1858-1917 (aged 59) |
Durkhiem came out with factors that he called them, "Social Factors". Examples like, norms, values, laws, political institutions, technology, culture and many many more other factors. He was objective rather than subjective when it comes to studying his society.
For Your Information.
Durkheim proposed that there were two types of cohesion in a society, "Mechanical solidarity" and "Organic solidarity" which can work in any society. This means how a society sticks together as one. (So basically if I am not mistaken, this means if there is no solidarity observed in a society, will things go desasturous eventually? Or maybe not?)
Mechanical Solidarity (pre-modern). In this state of solidarity, the humans who are "functioning" in the society has the exact same purpose. Example like how farmers operate in a certain manner in a village. Everyone serves a same purpose which is farming, everyone plays a role in farming, everyone wears the same thing like a farmers hat and boots. So basically, everyone has the same experiences, feels united and that they are a part of something. They share the same beliefs and values. (similar to the movie blockbuster, "Divergent" huh?)
Commonalities + similitudes + likenesses = Collective consciousness (Like how our small cliques function because its based on this pre-modern solidarity)
On the other hand, Organic Solidarity (modern). In this state of solidarity, the humans in this society differ from one another. They have different jobs different beliefs and so forth. According to Durkhiem, its the inter-dependence that keeps our society together. Everyone has to depend on each other to grow and survive.
Lucky for us today, according to Durkhiem's theory, we live in a society that does not practice medieval punishments like throwing criminals (people who does not adhere to the pre-modern society) into rivers so that crocodiles can eat them up if the gods find them guilty. We live in a world where, law is not as tough on us as it was before. Making sure that law is "fair" to the rest of humanity. To Durkheim, crime is normal and functional. It is bound to happen so that society grows and work together to reform. (really? This reminds me of the Singapore reality TV series "In cold blood".)
Here's a short video clip from YouTube for those who is willing to know a little more.

(there are also many other theories on society that you can check them out but here's my start on things :>)
Now, its my turn to give my say.
Knowing that this legit theory exists, some of us are still asking ourselves,"Why did society rejected me? How am I going to face society after my previous downfall?".
Here's my theory.
To be accepted by the society, you first have to know what cause(s) or problem(s) are you solving. Only then you can find a small society that has the same belief as you do and join that specific workforce. Easy as it sounds, you know yourself better than I do. Now go out there and make yourself useful in some way or at least try harder!
"But where do I get my confidence from?"
There is a technique I have been practicing on for the past few years now. It is called, Brilliance Squared. I got this from a book called, "How to take charge of your life. The user's guide to NLP" by Richard Bandler.
Lets do it step by step.
Step 1: Close your eyes and think of your favourite colour in a box. (Colour should make you feel good)
Step 2: Picture yourself in your most prestigious moment you had before or you have ever dreamed of, looking at you. Then place this image right infront of the bright coloured box.
Step 3: Trigger this image every time you feel that you need a confidence boost.
Step 4: This time round, do everything negative. The worst colour in a box with an image of you all beaten up right smack infront of the box.
This two images are the images that you will have for this thing to work. Remember, the brain connects emotions to images that it captures. By knowing this fact, you can alter that. Make things work your way.
Step 5: Practice it!
