Biological Reductionism

Bio-Psycho-Social Model, proposed by George Engel in 1977, was recognized as a turning point in the praxis of medical diagnosis and treatments. Bio-Psycho-Social Model should be seen in a historical context as bucking against the trend of biological reductionism. Social Neuroscience has been formed ten years. Social neuroscience aims to investigate the biological systems that underlie people’s thoughts, feelings and actions in light of the social context in which they operate. Social neuroscience has captured the interest of anthropologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and experts in other disciplines, as well as the general public who more and more draw upon the insights and methods of social neuroscience to explain, predict and change social behavior. An analysis of the current situation in neurosciences shows that new methods of instrumental brain research do not exclude biological reductionism. The authors qualify the situation in modern studies of social neuroscience as a methodological crisis associated with the prevalence of reductionist approaches that ignore the uniqueness of the human psyche. He substantiates the heuristic provisions of the cultural and historical development of Vygotsky’s psyche theory to overcome any contradictions

ABSTRACT This paper outlines a critical analysis of the paradigm shift from a medical to a social model, using the key concepts impacting on learners with disabilities in a schooling system. The social constructionist perspective and the social model provide a conceptual frame for examining disability and inclusive education. Inclusive education is significant for its multidimensional nature and lack of universal definition. The two main issues concerning scholars and interest groups are the lack of access to learning by learners with disability and the confining nature of disability. Despite the acceptance of inclusive education globally, the evidence in the literature suggests many limitations in broadening access to education for all. The paper found that there is an interplay of various aspects relating to inclusive education, namely the historical context and the education system, the capacity for the implementation of inclusive education, a policy framework, infrastructure and resources coordination, and a culture of inclusive education.

Conventional Content Analysis

Disenfranchised grief is experienced when a mourner’s grief response is socially invalidated, unacknowledged, or discouraged. When the circumstances of death or the emotional reactions of the griever violate social norms, empathic failures can occur within the bereaved individual’s support systems. This study used conventional content analysis, an intensive and inductive qualitative research method, to analyze the experience of one African American woman who lost her only son to homicide, a particularly distressing and marginalized form of loss. Results elucidate both the empathic failings and resiliencies within the social systems of this griever and emerged from the perspectives offered by the bereaved mother and her primary supporter. Clinical implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Sociological Study

It is fascinating that the phenomenon of colorism, with such large scale and profound individual impact, can remain in the infancy of sociological study. Some African Americans insist that delving into the issue of colorism is a “distraction” and that we cannot overcome internalized racism until we defeat outward racism. I maintain that the battles are the same, and the impacts of both must be analyzed, but colorism—the lesser understood—requires its own attention. Colorism, notably among women, cannot begin to be resolved until both marginalized and non-marginalized people fully understand its creation leading to its current impact. Various papers and novels written with both the academic background and research and lived perspective as a dark-skinned black woman will be consulted. The research paper will move from the analysis of the historical context of colonialism and colorism against dark-skinned black women to unpacking colorisms many impacts and implications derived from this colonial construction to its effects within personal, private life. Thus, in my research paper, I will investigate how the colonial legacy of colorism impacts the lives of African American woman in the present day.

The paper describes the position of persons with disabilities in residential institutions in Serbia, with particular focus on the position of women. Our goal is to determine some of the reasons for human rights violations and discrimination against persons with disabilities in institutions through understanding the historical context and attitudes towards them, and to understand the extent to which international human rights framework impacts the improvement of their position. Results of analyses show that adoption of the international and national legal framework grounded in the theory of social model is a necessary but not sufficient condition for de facto equality, because of the rooted negative attitudes towards rights, possibilities, and needs of persons with disabilities that nurture justifications and excuses for multiple deprivations and discrimination. The change of the paradigm and improvement of the position of persons with disabilities requires awareness-raising of the social protection system with the aim of overcoming prejudices and changing practices.

Chilean Dictatorship

Based on a critical theoretical tradition of democracy, the article rehearses an interpretation of the Chilean revolt of October 2019. It is argued that this episode indicates the exhaustion of the myth in which democracy obtains its legitimacy and perpetuation as a promise of the realisation of its founding values. To this end, it examines the overall historical context in which the Chilean democratic transition is taking place, thus discovering its close link to the order designed by the Chilean dictatorship. A series of symbolisms articulate the global market order with the social model favoured by the dictatorship, but implemented with a democratic appearance. Finally, the elements that allow us to understand the signs of the collapse of the ‘democratic mythologem’ in the October revolt are reviewed and questions are asked about the political challenges that are posed.

Goals And Objectives

Introduction. The Nordic countries are the most economically developed and stable ones in terms of the political and social context. However, the processes of globalization, social and demographic change, business development, increased competition and commercial interests modify the functioning of the economic and social model of the Nordic countries, which experienced a number of crisis phenomena at various stages of its development. The objective of this piece of research is to analyze the prospects for the development of the Nordic model of the social state based on the study of its structure and historical development. Materials and Methods. The economic situation in the Nordic countries is the object of this study. To achieve the goals and objectives set, the research employed concrete structural analysis (to describe the theoretical aspect of the model) as well as concrete historical analysis (to study the processes of formation and development of the model). Results. The analysis of the Nordic economic and social model has been carried out; the theoretical aspect of the social and economic model as well as the historical context and the process of its development have been studied. The crisis phenomena and methods used to overcome the crisis of the social and economic model have been analyzed. A range of potential challenges have been identified and the prospects for the development of the region have been presented. Discussion and Conclusion. The model studied is capable of structural changes provoked by external factors and challenges. The economic experience of the Nordic countries is of interest to us not only in terms of the success of this model, but also in terms of overcoming the crisis. The results of the study can be used when developing new models that can be applied in other countries, taking into account their economic characteristics.
