Essay on Formation of Social Movements – Social movements do not emerge spontaneously as we observe it in the case of a crowd or mob. Herbert Bhumer (1951) has done much theoretical work in the field of social movements. According to him, social movement involves a few stages in its formation.1. The Preliminary Stage: ADVERTISEMENTS: This stage can also be called ‘the unrest stage”. In this stage we find some confusion or discontentment among people. Hence they are restless. In fact, as N.J. Smelser has pointed out “All social movements begin with some feeling of discontent with the existing social order…” Discontent is always a product of a relationship between objective conditions and ideas about those conditions.If all the members in a society feel satisfied about everything, there is no…

My favourite sport unquestionably is swimming. I learned swimming when I was six years old and my parents tell me that I took to swimming like a fish takes to water.There are several reasons why I prefer swimming over all other sports. However the topmost remains, my love of water. Besides, swimming does not require expensive gear. A swimsuit and a pair of waterproof goggles and you are set to swim. ADVERTISEMENTS: There are four strokes in competitive swimming. The freestyle which is my personal favourite has no restrictions.

Emerson in his essay “Intellect” states that the ceaseless action of universal mind that mirrors man is actually his intuitive and instinctive consciousness.Spiritual and intellectual advancement is permitted by the reflections that are yielded on the universal mind. What Emerson does is prefiguring of the downfall of the phenomenological movement in modern society by five decades. Succinctly, he explains “The making a fact the subject of thought raises it”. Here he means that one must be aware of the experience the rational mind comes across alongside allowing the flow of the instinctive river of consciousness unimpeded. When only for a few moments, we withdraw ourselves from the world and from the onrushing stream of events and stimulation; we are in a position where the truth is revelled.

Ego States and Transactions Cluster are given below:The idea of three egos states and the transactional interactions between them are the most distinctive feature of transactional analysis and yet have the least amount of resonance in the literature. ADVERTISEMENTS: However, the utility of this concept is the principal reason why people become interested and maintain their interest in transactional analysis. Berne made complex interpersonal transactions understandable when he recognised that people can interact from one of three “ego-states” – Parent, Adult or Child – and that these interactions can occur at overt and covert levels.Each one of the ego states is in effect a “mind module,” a system of communication with its own language and function; the Parent’s is a language of values, the Adult’s is a language of logic…

The sequence of events, which take place during the completion of one heartbeat, is known as cardiac cycle. It involves repeated contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles. A contraction is termed systole and a relaxation is termed diastole. One complete heartbeat or cardiac cycle consists of one systole and one diastole. It lasts for about 0.8 seconds.The events that take place during the completion of one heartbeat are—the auricular systole, the ventricular systole and the joint diastole or complete cardiac diastole. Image Source: promocell.com ADVERTISEMENTS: Auricular systole: The two auricles act as a pump to force the venous blood into the ventricles.The ventricles are in diastole at this time. During auricular systole, the auricular muscles contract and the openings of venae cavae and pulmonary vein close. The tricuspid valve…

Mitosis occurs in four phases namely:i. Prophaseii. Metaphase ADVERTISEMENTS: iii. Anaphaseiv. TelophaseThe various phases of mitosis are nearly similar in both animal and plant cells. For better understanding, the mitosis in animal cells is described here and wherever variation occurs, the mitosis in plant cell is also described. (I) Prophase (Gk. Pro: Before, Phasis: Stage): Image Source: upload.wikimedia.org ADVERTISEMENTS: 1. This is the first and longest phase of mitosis.2. The chromatin material undergoes condensation (becomes short and thick) and changes into thread-like structures called chromosomes.3- Each chromosome has two thread-like structures called sister chromatids, which lie close to each other and remain attached at a point called centromere.4. As prophase advances, the chromosomes become shorter and condensed (thickened). ADVERTISEMENTS: 5. In animal cells, the centrosome initiates and regulate the cell…
