Structural Functionalism Part 1

I'm so lazy! I wanted to try writing some sociology stuff related to WoW so that i can get used to the concepts used and remember them with a punch. Trying to related the examples to real life is so hard >.< Now i'm so tried after typing hard a page of crap in word and i'm too late to continue... grr...

I think i should blog about it in the future so i can learn and the rest of you can too! =)

Maybe we can start now!

There are 3 sociological perspectives Structural functionalism , Conflict theory, and symbolic interactionalism.

Let's start with Structural Functionalism today!

How do you relate society as? An object or an organism? If various events like economic factors, war and death, cause changes to affect the usual life of the city. Can it evolve to react to it or assimilate to acheive a new state of equilibrium, like before?

If you think that this example is pretty much what you have in mind, that Structural Functionalism(let's call it SF for short). =)

A few important things about SFis that each specific components in that society is interdependent on another component. Who are these components as you may think? Me, him, your mum, boss? It's EVERYONE! =) They are futher grouped under diferent headings like your family, school, work office, police, courts, military, parliment. They all can affect each other, may i so to speak? Thinking on a more wider scope, intercountry relations or inter-planetary relations or inter-galaxy relations =P

Another main factor is ORDER! Social order. you see, each component plays a role or function in this 'organism'(society) They affect each other in a good or bad way. So due to this interdependency, an equilibrium state is achieved as everyone is cosy with each other. *Barney's song of 'I love you, You love me" starts playing in the background* If something causes a event to disrupt this equilibrium, the organism would evolve to react to that event. Eg, *Takes a shotgun and shoots BArney Bang Bang!* the organism would react to acheive a new state of equilibrium after the aftermath of that irritating purple dinosaur =) So life goes on in the new equilibrium with the death of Barney... For a more remarkable exmaple, compare thelife before 911 and now. How goes our new equilibrium?

Cool, think i'll go on to part 2 tomorrow =) I hope you guys learn something as well =P

Hmm, I was interogated by 4 girls today! omg.. Just that i was getting a little friendly with this girl, J. And with the trend in class where almost everyone is getting their another half in this phase of life, suspisions arose! Argh! The signs of life that i'm getting old... heh, i'm not getting any girlfriends at this time yet. Found no one to my tastes. Previous few choices were more like "desparation-out-of-NS-to-get-a-girlfriend-syndrome". Now i'm clearing away the desparation, and i think i know what kind a girl i would like. =) Not telling anyone, so let fate and destiny be our only meeting factors =P


currently 58 on WoW! I can raid now! Yay! I should be joining the raid on a Wednesday morning 8 am(no lessons till 1pm =P) ZG! I wanna see my first ever Epic drop! lol, and i just bought an Epic gun for 150G today... Heart pain! Precisely Calibrated Broomstick, check it out if you want.

The guild's great! made a lot of nice pals online and had lots of fun! I love the international circle! Playing on a specified server for a country sucks. I had a lot of experiences on RO and Maplestory, i cannot stand the locale slang and attitude... grr... Americans, Aussies, French and Canadians are so fun! Some Chinese too! lol, "Ni Hao!"

I think my mom wouldn't be pleased to see me waking up early just to play games... hmm

I think WoW is more than a game =P It's a little internet chatroom form me too. HAH~! I can picklock boxes in Ironforge, earn some tips at the same time, having fun and meeting lots of my customers from all over the world! RP is fun! I never had such a nice MMORPG that has lots of diversity and life. The guild plays a big part of the gameplay. It's a whole new society online at your fingertips. It's possible to see aspects of societal relations on board this game. A model of society that isn't bounded by much difficulties in expressions and habits =)

Talked too much crap. Sleep!

OMG! stop touching them!

After much viewing through Koda Kumi's Best DVD that is accopanied with the cds, I noticed that the cams are usually focusng on her breasts and her obvious actions of caressing them 2 - 3 times per music video! O.o , Her music videos are kinda average... Not as good at Ayumi Hamasaki which always have a story in each mtv. She certainly needs to rely less on sexual prowness to own every one on the Orion charts =/

Uploaded some new photos on the recent walkabout on Sat. Well, WoW is down for maintainence and I'm suppose to have a physics test tomorrow. So what am I suppose to do? Study? nah! Talking about last Sat. Was kinda feeling tired, didn't want to drink and face lots of people... I would like my little moment of peace and quiet. I need to wander around for a bit. So if anyone is asking of my absence, I aplogise =3

Great now i'm talking in WoW RP accent ! AH~! sleep! An early morning 6am revision would be good for the test tomorrow. Good night, and May Elune guide your path always.

Doh! Here it goes again!

Hmm, life is just school, WoW jap lessons, blading. Renewed? not really, I need to get back on my bike and off the chair in from of my pc.

The lymph node at my left hip joint (near the navel) swelled up! Pretty much uncomfortable when walking or even running.. So this adds another weight to the reason of not excerising for a while.

School's the usual fun about body parts and stuff. My results are high and average... gah.. need to work on those scores! I'm aiming for B's at the moment so yeah!

I bought Utada Hikaru's Ultra Blue and Koda Kumi Best ~first things~ during last weeks shopping with MJ! Utada is still as UBER as ever even after a 4 year break of releasing albums! Koda kumi is pretty much so so.. =P Utada's songs have more feeling and touch =) Utada FTW!

I still need to take more photos! Grr... I have still yet to upload photos of teh Titiwangsa trip up my flickr! Or you guys can get a little preview at Lek's account.

I'm feeling that i'm always drifting around like a listless Undead rogue walking around in stealth mode.... I love the game, but i'm addicted to it. Yes, i dream about the game lol! It's a fantasy! Adds color to the dreams instead of the usual drama stuff i'm getting.... =P

oh well, feeling kinda hopeless with my spending in WoW! I'm forever broke! just surviving barely on 4-5 g.... Need more gold! ah!!!! need more patterns to make stuff to sell!

good night!

Blizzard Server transfers are so unfair! STeamwheedle Cartel is an RP server where the community there is super close. MC is not even conquered by the natives yet! And now the lv 60 transfers iwth T2 are coming in and ruining the whole show and gameplay! What the hell is the money mind Blizzard thinking? Pathetic, Brainless! SWC is still at its virgin state of just 4-5 months old! Do you think that those High end instances are already done by the natives? no!

Crap... Crap... It ruins the gameplay when all the hard work you put in to grow with the community in the server get invaders by "L33t god-like" wannabe lamers rejects from other servers to SWC.

Thanks a million for such and wonderful surprise you dropped on us! Lub you Bliz!
