Examples of real values in the following topics:
-
- When we talk about American values, we often have in mind a set of ideal values.
- Along with every value system comes exceptions to those values.
- With these exceptions, real values emerge.
- Whereas we might refer to ideal values when listing American values (or even our own values), the values that we uphold in daily life tend to be real values.
- In ideal culture, marriage is forever, but in real culture, many marriages end in divorce.
-
- Because real estate values are clustered (neighboring homes are likely to have similar values), neighborhoods are stratified by socioeconomic status.
- Because individuals' social networks tend to be within their own class, they acculturate to, or learn the values and behaviors of, their own class.
-
- Housing in the United States is valued differently based on the racial makeup of the neighborhood.
- There can be two identical houses, by factors like amenities and size, but the assessed value of each house can depend on the racial makeup of the people within the community.
- For example, residential segregation is a product of discrimination that exists in the private real estate market.

- Working class students may begin to understand that they are in a double-bind: either they must strive to succeed, and in doing so abandon their own culture in order to absorb the school's middle class values, or they will fail to climb the social ladder.
- Anti-school values displayed by these children are often derived from their consciousness of their real interests.
- For example, working class students may begin to understand that they are in a double-bind: either they must strive to succeed, and in doing so abandon their own culture in order to absorb the school's middle class values, or they will fail.
- Children from lower-class backgrounds face a much tougher time in school, where they must learn the standard curriculum as well as the hidden curriculum of middle class values.
- These students have the benefit of learning middle class values at home, meaning they come to school already having internalized the hidden curriculum.

- What makes Merton's typology so fascinating is that people can turn to deviance in the pursuit of widely accepted social values and goals.
- In this sense, according social strain theory, social values actually produce deviance in two ways.
- First, an actor can reject social values and therefore become deviant.
- Additionally, an actor can accept social values but use deviant means to realize them.
- Apply Merton's typology of deviance to the real world and give examples for each type
-
- Although individuals perform very different roles in an organization, and often have different values and interests, there is a cohesion that arises from the compartmentalization and specialization woven into "modern" life.

- Apply Durkheim's concepts of mechanical and organic solidarity to groups in the real world

- Transform>Multiplex can be used to summarize multiple relations among actors into a qualitative multi-valued index.
- Convert data to geodesic distances allows us to first convert each relation into a valued metric from the binary.
- Again, we've chosen not to do this (though it is a reasonable idea in many real cases).
- Figure 16.5 shows the resulting "typology" of kinds of relations among the actors, which has been generated as a multi-valued nominal index.
- Also available in this dialog are Sum (which adds the values, element-wise, across matrices); Average (which computes the mean, element-wise, across matrices); Maximum (which selects the largest value, element-wise); and Element-wise Multiplication (which multiplies the elements across matrices).

- One form of wealth is land or real estate.
- For example, 10 percent of land owners in Baltimore, Maryland own 58 percent of the taxable land value.
- The bottom 10 percent of those who own any land own less than 1 percent of the total land value.
- In 2007, 147 companies controlled nearly 40 percent of the monetary value of all transnational corporations.
-
- How do valued, binary, and signed graphs correspond to the "nominal" "ordinal" and "interval" levels of measurement?
- Make graphs of a "star" network, a "line" and a "circle. " Think of real world examples of these kinds of structures where the ties are directed and where they are bonded, or undirected.
-
- Since these symbolic systems were learned and taught, they began to develop independently of biological evolution (in other words, one human being can learn a belief, value, or way of doing something from another, even if they are not biologically related).
- According to Max Weber, symbols are important aspects of culture: people use symbols to express their spirituality and the spiritual side of real events, and ideal interests are derived from symbols.
- According to sociologists, symbols make up one of the five key elements of culture, the others being language, values, beliefs, and norms.
