Human Behavior Quiz 1 Crossword

Down:
1) Tendency of undisturbed energy to move to in an unorganized condition; which can lead to a decrease in interaction among components - resulting in a decrease in the use of avaible energy. The measure of energy not available for use. Ex: what a waste of talent or not working up to potential or IBM vs Apple.2) Using the mind to recognize pattern, conceive unity, and form some coherent wholeness - to seek to complete the picture (which Ion Geogiou [2007] says is inherent and a driving compulsion in human consciousness) That which is called system comprises elements cohering in some intelligible way, that is, capable of being understood. Everything in the universe hangs together.4) refers to increasingly available energy that results from heighted interaction among a systems components. Expressions - she got it together and look at the results and E pluribus Unun = out of many, one. Ex Yahoo vs. Google.5) Feedback cycle – The process in which a system receives internal or environmental responses to its behavior and, in turn, reacts to these received responses by accommodating and assimilating the energy/information received, by altering the systems structure, and then engaging in altered exchanges of energy/information.
Loop- the term is borrowed from cybernetic, computer programming, and engineering. It is a specific form of feedback, in which a systems output becomes input that modifies the systems functioning. That is, the systems own behavior supplies stimuli for system modification.
2010 Romantic “It’s Complicated”.7) A interacts with B to provide AB, which changes both A & B, and results in C, which is partly A,B, and AB, and possibly AC or BC. Complex view of causality is the core idea in nonlinear dynamic system. Remember its better to say global climate change instead of global warming becauses change do to several factors. |

3) People are determined by society. Macrofunctionalists, such a Talcott Parsons, tended to view society as the primary focus and therefore view the behavior of smaller human systems and their components as being determined by society's needs and goals, i.e. the whole determines the actions of its parts.6) Capacity for action, action, or power to effect change. We use this term much as Parsons used "action". As increased interaction occurs, there is greater available energy. Richard Adams (1988) preferred the term "energy forms", which is a useful concept. Information is one form of energy. Energy and information are not identical, but are complementary and inseparable in living systems: both are necessary although neither is sufficient.8) Parsons specified four functions (or processes) that he saw as necessary in a system: adaptation, goal-directed activity, integration, and pattern maintenance. More descriptive/other functions SI, SE, GI and GE. None necessarily take precedence over others9) The grouping and arranging of parts to form a whole in order to put a system into “working order”
The system organization secures, expends, and conserves energy to maintain the system and further its purposes.
The process of structuring a systems exchange of energy, both internally & externally. Persistent regularities of relationship between components make up structure, or organization, of the system.10) Term borrowed from Arthur Koestler means that an entity is simultaneoulsy part of a whole. A system is both a part of a suprasytem and a suprasystem itself to a system. Ex: family - is both simultaneously a suprasystem and part of subsystems to enviroments such as, school, work organization, community and other families. |
