Research · Public sociology?he origins of social theory are difficult to pinpoint, but many arguments return to Ancient Greece. Berch Berberoglu cites Plato, Socrates and Aristotle as influencing social theory throughout the enlightenment up to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century (Berberoglu 2005, p.&_160;xi). Certain social theories attempt to remain strictly scientific, descriptive, and objective. Conflict theories such as neomarxism and feminist theory, by contrast, present ostensibly moral and normative positions, or critique the ideological aspects inherent in traditional, conventional thought. Harrington discusses the etymology of social theory, stating that while the term did not exist in any language before the twentieth century, its origins are ancient and lie in two words; ‘social’ from the Latin socius and ‘theory’ from the Greek theoria (Harrington 2005). Social theorising aided the Greeks in making sense of their lives, and in questioning the value and meaning of things around them. Social theory as a distinct discipline emerged in the 20th century and was largely equated with an attitude of critical thinking, based on rationality, logic and objectivity, and the desire for knowledge through aposteriori methods of discovery, rather than apriori methods of tradition. With this in mind it is easy to link social theory to deeper seated philosophical discussions.

Original Publication: November 1, 2009
Organizations which fail to provide a direct correlation between an employee’s individual efforts and contributions to the Company’s overall success often find themselves challenged with remaining competitive and relevant.

3. Where Are You In Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs?
October 29, 2009
As a social work and psychology student, Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs was a theory in which we focused a great deal of time. According to Maslow, there are five levels of needs, ranging from physiological to self-actualization. It is difficult to move from one level to the next without first meeting your needs at the lower level. If you can identify where you are currently at in the hierarchy, it will give you a better understanding of where you are coming from and what you need to do to reach the fifth and final step, self-actualization. The first level, at the base of the pyramid... (read more)

We manifest these divisions not only in society at large but also within ourselves, separating our minds from our hearts and our bodies from our souls.
