Examples of species being in the following topics:
-
- According to Marx, species being (or happiness) is the pinnacle of human nature.
- Species being is understood to be a type of self-realization or self-actualization brought about by meaningful work.
- Because Marx believed species being to be the goal and ideal of human nature and that species being could only be realized when individuals owned the results of their labors, Marx saw capitalism as leading toward increasingly unhappy individuals; they would be alienated from the results of their production and therefore would not be self-realized.
- By re-connecting the individual with the fruits of their labor and empowering them toward true self-governance, species being would be realized and happiness would be returned.
- Second, Marx believed capitalism, while harmful to species being, was necessary to advance the means of production to a stage where communism (as he envisioned it) could be realized.
-
- This could be seen by a manager telling employees to stop talking and to focus on their work.
- Workers become autonomous, self-realized human beings, but are directed and diverted into goals and activities dictated by the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production in order to extract from workers the maximal amount of surplus value possible within the current state of competition between industrialists.
- The third is the alienation of the worker from himself as a producer, or from his or her "species being" or "essence as a species. " To Marx, this human essence was not separate from activity or work, nor static, but includes the innate potential to develop as a human organism.
- Species being is a concept that Marx deploys to refer to what he sees as the original or intrinsic essence of the species, which is characterized both by plurality and dynamism: all beings possess the tendency and desire to engage in multiple activities to promote their mutual survival, comfort, and sense of interconnection.
- A capitalist system sees the labor of the worker to a commercial commodity that can be traded in the competitive labor-market.
-
- As Weber did not see any alternative to bureaucracy, he believed it would ultimately lead to an iron cage : there would be no way to escape it.
- Weber viewed this as a bleak outcome that would affect individuals' happiness as they would be forced to function in a society with rigid rules and norms without the possibility of change.
- According to Marx, a capitalist system results in the alienation (or estrangement) of people from their "species being."
- Species being is a concept that Marx deploys to refer to what he sees as the original or intrinsic essence of the species, which is characterized both by plurality and dynamism: all beings possess the tendency and desire to engage in multiple activities to promote their mutual survival, comfort and sense of inter-connection
- According to Durkheim, an important component of social life was social solidarity, which can be understood as a sense of community.
-
- Human language is thought to be fundamentally different from and of much higher complexity than the communication systems of other species ().
- Human language differs from communication used by animals () because the symbols and grammatical rules of any particular language are largely arbitrary, meaning that the system can only be acquired through social interaction. ()
-
- A sociobiological explanation of humans running might argue that human beings are good at running because our bodies have evolved to run bipedally.
- While the term "sociobiology" can be traced to the 1940s, the concept didn't gain major recognition until 1975 with the publication of Edward O.
- Sociobiologists believe that human behavior, like nonhuman animal behavior, can be partly explained as the outcome of natural selection.
- They contend that in order to fully understand behavior, it must be analyzed in terms of evolutionary considerations.
- Following this evolutionary logic, sociobiologists are interested in how behavior can be explained as a result of selective pressures in the history of a species.
-
- By contrast, in countries with underpopulation there are often insufficient labor pools to support economic growth, but employment tends to be stable.
- Overpopulation indicates a scenario in which the population of a living species exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecological niche.
- Concerns about overpopulation are not new; early in the 19th century, Thomas Malthus argued in "An Essay on the Principle of Population" that, if left unrestricted, human populations would continue to grow until they would become too large to be supported by the food grown on available agricultural land.
- Once the population exceeded the planet's carrying capacity, the population would be restrained through mass famine and starvation.
- Objections to this argument include that a huge number of plant and animal species would go extinct; terrible pollution would arise in some areas, and it would be difficult to abate; and moral problems would be created—great suffering for the people who do not have access to resources.

- The origin of language in the human species is a widely discussed topic.
- Theories about the origin of language can be divided according to their basic assumptions.
- These theories can be called continuity-based theories.
- These theories can be defined as discontinuity-based.
- The origin of language in the human species is a widely discussed topic.
-
- Competition is the opposite of cooperation and arises whenever two parties strive for a goal that cannot be shared.
- Many evolutionary biologists view inter-species and intra-species competition as the driving force of adaptation, and, ultimately, of evolution.
- Explain how competition can be both a help and a hinderance for people in any particular society or group
-
- However, many scientists agree on culture being defined as a process, rather than an end product.
- This behavior is shared by a group of animals, but not necessarily between separate groups of the same species .
- Charles Darwin first attempted to find the existence of imitation in animals when trying to prove his theory that the human mind had evolved from that of lower beings.
- In non-primate animals, research tends to be limited, so the evidence for culture is lacking.
-
- Isolated individuals are also less likely to seek or get treatment for drug addiction or mental health problems, which they might be unable to recognize on their own.
- Social isolation occurs when members of a social species (like humans) have complete or near-complete lack of contact with society.
- While loneliness is often fleeting, true social isolation often lasts for years or decades and tends to be a chronic condition that affects all aspects of a person's existence and can have serious consequences for health and well being.
- Social isolation can be dangerous because the vitality of individuals' social relationships affect their health.
- Interpret why social isolation can be problematic for a person in society and the importance of social connections
