internalize
(verb)
To make something internal; to incorporate it in oneself.
Examples of internalize in the following topics:
-
Continuity Theory
- The theory considers the internal structures and external structures of continuity to describe how people adapt to their circumstances and set their goals.
- The internal structure of an individual - for instance, an individual's personality traits - remains relatively constant throughout a person's lifetime.
- Other internal aspects such as beliefs can remain relatively constant as well, though are also subject to change.
- This internal structure facilitates future decision-making by providing the individual with a strong internal foundation of the past.
- " He continued to expound upon the theory over the years, explaining the development of internal and external structures in 1989 and publishing a book in 1999 called Continuity and Adaptation in Aging: Creating Positive Experiences.
-
Population Transfer
- Population transfer is the movement of a large group of people from one region to another by state policy or international authority.
- Population transfer is the movement of a large group of people from one region to another by state policy or international authority, most frequently on the basis of ethnicity or religion.
- The view of international law on population transfer underwent considerable evolution during the 20th century.
- Prior to World War II, a number of major population transfers were the result of bilateral treaties with the support of international bodies such as the League of Nations.
- There is now little debate about the general legal status of involuntary population transfers, as forced population transfers are now considered violations of international law.
-
The Importance of Paid and Unpaid Work
- Examples of unpaid workers include members of a family or cooperative; conscripts or forced labor; volunteer workers who work for charity or amusement; students who take intern positions as work experience; or conventional workers who are not paid because their enterprise is short of money.
- These may be members of a family or cooperative; conscripts or forced labor; volunteer workers who work for charity or amusement; students who take intern positions as work experience; or conventional workers who are not paid because their enterprise is short of money.
- Although interns are typically college or university students, they can also be high school students or post-graduate adults.
- Some interns also find permanent, paid employment with the companies in which they interned.
- Thus, employers also benefit, as experienced interns need little or no training when they begin full-time, regular employment.
-
Social Control Theory
- Social control theory describes internal means of social control.
- It argues that relationships, commitments, values, and beliefs encourage conformity—if moral codes are internalized and individuals are tied into broader communities, individuals will voluntarily limit deviant acts.
- An internal understanding of means of control became articulated in sociological theory in the mid-twentieth century.
- The notion of an individual being shaped by his ties to his community, of having a "stake in conformity," laid the groundwork for the idea of internalized norms that act as a method of social control.
- Simply by living within a particular cultural context, one learns and internalizes the norms of society .
-
Global Crime
- Global crime can refer to any organized crime that occurs at an international or transnational level.
- Some espouse that all organized crime operates at an international level, though there is currently no international court capable of trying offences resulting from such activities (for example, the International Criminal Court's remit extends only to dealing with people accused of offences against humanity, such as genocide ).
- In doing so, it has been argued, national and international criminal groups threaten the security of all nations.
- The UN has taken a stand against this threat with the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime which has been adopted since 2000 to fight against transnational organized crime, with the recognition of UN Member States that this is a serious and growing problem that can only be solved through close international cooperation.
-
Sanctions
- As opposed to forms of internal control, like norms and values, sociologists consider sanctions a form of external control.
- For example, you may choose to wear nice clothes to class instead of pajamas, not because there is a rule against pajamas or because anyone has directly exercised social sanctions against you, but because you have internalized the norm of dressing when you leave home.
- As opposed to forms of internal control, like cultural norms and values, sociologists consider sanctions a form of external control.
- Informal sanctions can check deviant behavior of individuals or groups, either through internalization, or through disincentivizing the deviant behavior.
-
New State Spaces
- Instead, they may be more directly influenced by local, regional, or even international governmental bodies.
- In general, global cities tend to actively influence and participate in international effents and world affairs.
- They may be national capitals, or they may host the headquarters of international organizations such as the World Bank, NATO, or the UN.
- Another example of a new state space is seen in regional and international governments such as the European Union.
- New state spaces are evolving at both the local level (global cities) and the international level (the European Union).
-
Group-external and group-internal ties
- The E-I (external - internal) index takes the number of ties of group members to outsiders, subtracts the number of ties to other group members, and divides by the total number of ties.
- The resulting index ranges from -1 (all ties are internal to the group) to +1 (all ties are external to the group).
- Next, we see the numbers of internal ties (14, or 22%) and external ties (50, or 78%) that yield a raw (not rescaled) E-I index of +.563.
- That is, a preponderance of external over internal ties for the graph as a whole.
- Also shown are the maximum possible numbers of internal and external ties given the group sizes and density.
-
Global Trade: Inequalities and Conflict
- Global trade (exchange across international borders) has increased with better transportation and governments adopting free trade.
- Global trade is the exchange of money, goods, and services across international borders.
- Since the mid-twentieth century, nations have increasingly reduced tariff barriers and currency restrictions on international trade.
- Traditionally, governments regulated international trade through bilateral treaties that were negotiated between two nations.
- In 1995, GATT was replaced by the World Trade Organization (WTO), an international body that supervises global trade.
-
Peace
- Commonly understood as the absence of hostility, peace also suggests the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, prosperity in matters of social or economic welfare, the establishment of equality, and a working political order that serves the true interests of all.
- In international relations, peacetime is not only the absence of war or conflict, but also the presence of cultural and economic understanding.
- Pacifism covers a spectrum of views ranging from the belief that international disputes should be peacefully resolved.
