Social Systems Physical Strength
2,652 wordsWater Science Luhmann's theory of autopoietic systems appears to be described as politically reactionary. It happens in the strength of fact that it negates any possibility of social change. It might be a proof though for Luhmann's theory that this very critique made him a famous and influential thinker. While Luhmann was a sociologist indeed, it appears to me that also the non-Luhmannian attempts to employ systems theory as a literary theory always boiled down to sociology. Systems theory helps...

Social Systems Social Theory
2,081 words... as he is perhaps the one social theorist who most radically reacted against the tautological use of power and its ubiquity. Luhmann is the one holiest who cuts power down like individualists. Hence, the following analysis will be done in two steps. First, my argument will be to demonstrate the way Luhmann's social theory deliberately underplays the phenomenon of power. This will be shown by analyzing the shifts in Luhmann's general theory which do not leave the concept of power untouched. In...

We may say here that it is due partly to the fact that everyone has taken sides: political polarization.

Add to this the defensive atmosphere characteristic of a polarized atmosphere, where both blacks and whites believe that "whoever is not for us is against u...

Melting Pot External Factors
1,730 wordsHolism is the belief that moral characteristics of an individual are entirely determined by the social and cultural group of which they are members. Holism is based on the notion that the self is merely a vehicle by which society and culture express themselves (Fay, 50). The theory suggests that since moral principles vary from culture to culture, we must suspend judgement of individuals because they are not responsible for their own beliefs. Brian Fay refutes the holistic assumption and argues ...
