 Reservation in India refers to the practise of reserving seats for a specific group of people in government jobs, educational institutions, and even legislatures. It was affirmative action for the backward and impoverished classes of Indian society, hence it was also known as positive discrimination. Reservation is a contentious issue. Throughout India, you will encounter a significant number of people who are both for and anti-reservation. Even the reservation system has received mixed reviews. The notion of reservation was created to promote one of the Indian constitution's core rights, the Right to Equality, which declares that all citizens are equal before the government. Castes were split based on the sort of job individuals did in India's social and status structure, i.e., a caste was a group of people who had a common economic vocation. As a result of this hierarchy, there emerged a class of individuals who were treated unfairly because of their predecessors' labour...

 There is strong evidence that socioeconomic factors such as education, work position, income level, gender, and ethnicity have a substantial influence on one's health. Health disparities are widespread in the majority of nations, regardless of their economic status. As we progress down the economic ladder, the problem of health disparity becomes more acute. Systematic variations in the health status of distinct demographic groups are known as health inequalities. Individuals and nations alike bear tremendous social and economic consequences as a result of these injustices. Inequalities in health come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Gender, location, age, and other variables all play a part. I'll be focusing on geography in my blog, namely urban and rural locations. The bulk of people in India live in rural areas. Despite the fact that this majority accounts for over 70% of the population, only 20% of hospitals and 50% of dispensaries are available to them. Some communities l...

 As a result of rapid changes in the corporate environment and increased rivalry, the concept of "organisational learning" has gained traction in recent decades. Organizations that enhance their learning capabilities acquire a competitive edge, remain innovative, and significantly raise their top and bottom line profitability. Learning about organisational change is a continual and dynamic process that leads to long-term changes. The emergence of new concepts and practises, their retention and integration into present processes, and their subsequent application in routines are all part of organisational learning. It also aids the organisation in gaining additional knowledge. Flexible organisations are better equipped to adapt to changing circumstances. They are significantly more effective than inflexible ones at detecting and resolving issues, as well as finding the best possible course of action in any given circumstance. Organizations that are willing to test new technique...

 A. Role Conflict A few months ago, I was studying for a competitive exam. It was a challenging exam, and I had to give it my all in order to pass. I used to study at all hours of the day and night in order to attain my target, which would help me flourish in life. I was really well prepare d, and my exams were just a month away. I was certain that if I prepared at a same pace, I would get acceptable results. One day, my dog was playing with my socks and dragging them around the house in his mouth, which is very typical and unremarkable. When I went to get my socks back from him, I realised one was gone. I didn't care and imagined he'd forgotten about it in some other room, so I quickly continued my studies. I had the sensation that my dog was unwell two or three days later while I was engaged with him, but there were no obvious signs of illness, so I continued to monitor him. The next day, he puked and had a fever. I had great suspicions that he had accidentally eaten the mis...

 Meaning, Role, and Status of Social Groups, and Their Impact on Personality Individuals interacting with one another make up society. As a member of society, you are classified into many classes and groups based on social factors such as gender, occupation, race, caste, religion, faith, ideology, and so on. On the basis of shared interests, an individual might be a member of a variety of social groupings. A guy is taught to be a man by society. Culture and conventions shape an individual's personality and make him desirable to live among individuals of his type. People gather together and interact to meet shared needs, making it simpler to survive in a group. As a result, becoming a part of a group and adapting to its norms is critical. I am a member of the social groups listed below. 1. Primary classes Primary groupings are those in which primary relationships are the most prominent. Symphatic touch and direct exchanges between group members with some mutual comprehension are the...

 The personality of an organisation is its organisational culture. Culture is defined by the ideas, attitudes, standards, and concrete expressions of organisational members' and their behaviours. A shared set of beliefs that influence decision-making and are conveyed and passed down to new members of an organisation is referred to as culture. The culture of a major for-profit organisation is very different from that of a hospital, which is very different from that of a university. Similar to how you may get a sense of someone's personality, you can get a sense of an organization's culture by looking at how its members dress, communicate, and act professionally. The concept of culture is especially important when it comes to managing organisational transformation. Despite their best efforts, practitioners are discovering that organisational change necessitates not only structural and procedural changes, but also a shift in corporate culture. Because they have policies in pla...

Dove is an American bath and body care cosmetics company that was started in 1955. Unilever now controls the company, which sells soaps, moisturisers, and deodorants all over the world, making it one of the most popular budget cosmetics brands. Dove tried to stand out in the personal care business rather than blend in. Dove Beauty Bar was the first Dove-branded foray into the soap market, produced by Lever Brothers in 1957. Dove's soap advertising made similar attempts to set themselves apart, claiming that Dove soap was "much better for your skin" than regular soap due to its mildness. Dove soap was developed during World War II as a consequence of product development research into ways to treat burn victims, and it was initially introduced as a moisturising soap in the 1950s by Unilever in the United States. As early as 1957, the plain Dove soap bar was marketed as a "beauty bar" for ladies, claiming that regular soaps would dry out their skin while bathing, w...

  How we see ourselves in relation to the rest of the world has an impact on our ideas and behaviours. The opinions of others have an impact on our behaviour and self-perception. Social psychology is the scientific study of how people's ideas, feelings, beliefs, intentions, and aspirations are shaped by their actual or imagined interactions with others in a social setting. As a result of social influence, our views and behaviours grow more similar to those of others around us. This change could occur unintentionally and automatically. Genuine, long-term modifications in views are the outcome of informational social influence. Informational social influence results in private acceptance of conformity. Consumer behaviour is a vast field that uses theoretical psychological approaches to better understand customers, which is especially important for firms that want to sell to as many people as possible. Consumer behaviour research combines several fundamental psychological subjects bec...

In India's Jharkhand state, as well as Assam, Tripura, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal, the Santals are the most populous tribe. The populations of Nepal and Bhutan are large. The Santals speak Santali, the Munda language that is most commonly spoken.

Santhals are fully reliant on the forests they live in. They get their basic needs from the forest products in which they live. They make a living by haunting, fishing, and farming their land.

Their favourite foods are crabs, pig, poultry,...

  The Charlie Chaplin film "Modern Times" can be seen as a social commentary that employs humour and entertainment to depict the dehumanising effects of many aspects of modernity, including industrialization, bureaucracy, urbanisation, and law enforcement. The impact of the Great Depression on the industrialised future, as well as the role of consumption in understanding societal control. The picture is entertaining, amusing, and usually recognised as one of Chaplin's best works. Authority, according to Chaplin, abuses the working people and places a premium on efficiency over humanity. Understanding the historical background is crucial. In 1936, the United States was suffering from the effects of the Great Depression, the country's longest and worst economic catastrophe. Many Americans were poor and unemployed throughout the film. In addition, this film was released. during the "red scare," when communism and leftism, as well as anyone sympathetic to worker...
