1 Biology, Self and Culture From Different Perspectives

2 Culture is defined as the values, beliefs, behaviour and material objects that constitute a people s way of life.

3 Biological determinism Biological determinism, also called genetic determinism, is the hypothesis that: Biological factors such as individual genes determine how a system behaves or changes over time.

4 BIOLOGICAL DETERMINISM CULTURE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENDERS, RACES, ETHNICITIES and CLASSES ARE NATURAL (INEVITABLE)

5 BIOLOGICAL DETERMINISM SEES BIOLOGY AS DESTINY Appeals to Nature ESSENTIALISM

6 THREE POINTS:BIOLOGY AS DESTINY 1. GENES 2. DIFFERENCES 3. CONVERTS TO STATUSES

7 Biological accounts 1. -Essentialism Accepts genetic differencesessentialism -an is perspective

8 A Genetic Misconception Copyright 2010 by Nelson Education Limited 8

9 EARLY PSYCHOLOGY 19C SOCIO-BIOLOGY RACIST REDUCTIONIST

10 TWO `IS or Nature based theories STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM and PSYCHOANALTIC THEORY Accepts biology as destiny SEE T. PARSONS ON THE NUCLEAR FAMILY

11 Freud s Theory biological Proposed the first social-scientific interpretation of emergence of the self: Id - the part of the self that demands immediate gratification Superego - personal conscience Ego - balances the conflicting needs of the id and the superego

12 Criticisms of Freud s Theory 1.Relies on conjecture, socialization is more complex than Freud assumed. 2.Freud shows gender bias in his analysis of male and female sexuality. 3.Freud neglects socialization after childhood.

13 CONFLICT THEORY MARX AND ENGELS ENGELS ARGUED THE NUCLEAR FAMILY IS A SOCIETY CONSTRUCTION OF THE BOURGEOISIE WOMEN BECOME SLAVES OF THE HOUSEHOLD

14 Essay: Origins of Family, Private Property and the State (Tucker, 1971)

15 FREDRICK ENGELS ENGELS MAKES FOUR KEY POINTS REGARDING PATRIARCHY AND PRIVATE PROPERTY

16 FREDRICK ENGELS PATRIARCHY AND CAPITALISM ENGELS AN EARLY FEMINIST

17 BIOLOGY AS IDEOLOGY: See R.C. LEWOTIN (1991) Biology is at the foundation of SOCIETY & cultural patterns: but, race and ethnic stratification are societal constructions

18 DIFFERENCES ACCORDING TO LEWONTIN 85 % is RANDOM VARIATION 8% is RACE 7% is Ethnicity

19 A CONTEMPORARY FEMINIST Naomi Wolf/ Marxist Feminist The Beauty Myth (1991) Two key stages in women s history: 1.. SURGICAL AGE 19thc 2.COSMETIC Age =20thc

20 Self and Culture: SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM To G.H. Mead, without society there could be no consciousness of self and no communication.

21 SI VIEW OF CULTURE 1.SELF 2.SOCIETY 3.INDIVIDUAL are linked by signs, symbols and language

22 Symbolic Interactionism Key Concepts : 1.Looking Glass Self-C.H. Cooley 2.Social Self-G. H. Mead 3.Self as actor Goffman 4.Emergent self. Blumer-.

23 What is culture? How do we know that culture is not derived from innate differences between groups?

24 SIX CULTURAL Elements : I. Symbols-anything the carries a particular meaning recognized by people who share the culture

25 2. Language The key to the world of culture- Systems of symbols that Systems of symbols that allows members of the society to communicate with one another

26 3. Values Culturally defined standards by which people assess desirability, goodness, beauty.

27 Beliefsspecific statements that people hold to be true 1.General we believe that children should behave (I.e people should practice safe sex.) 2. Situation specific- ie. an audience should clap when a musician is finished..

28 5. Socialization The process by which people learn their culture by: entering and disengaging from a succession of roles. becoming aware of themselves as they interact with others.

29 6. Role The behavior (or set of behaviors) expected of a person occupying a particular position in society.

30 SUMMARY BIOLOGY, SELF AND CULTURE ARE OBSERVED IN ALL THREE PARADIGMS STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM places more emphasis on biology in determining self and culture CONFLICT AND SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM ARE MORE CRITICAL

Historical/Biographical
