Social Theory: Recreation, Leisure And Play
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Play, leisure and recreation all share the common denominator of bringing forth happiness within the context of social identity, a theory that "provides a foundation for explaining the different roles people can play in leisure contexts and predicting how those roles shape the person's sense of identity and belonging" (Devine et al, 1999). To define the theory even further, its intrinsic group association establishes 'ingroup' mindset whereby an individual categorizes and inevitably boosts himself within that group "in ways that favor the in-group at the expense of the out-group" (TCW, 2004).

Sociological Perspective of a Familiar Social Group
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the social structures and relationships in a familiar social environment. In everyday life, individuals live, work and interact within social groups, structures and institutions which affect not only relationships with other individuals but also the definition of one’s class and appropriate social behaviors. Using a familiar example of a social group, in this case a weekly social curling league (a “secondary social group”), it can be seen that even in social situations, there are several social structures, rules, expectations, social controls and examples of deviance which exist. Despite the complex relationships which can exist between individuals, team members and between the teams themselves, the members of the social curling league know the social structure which exists between them and the social norms expected and seamlessly accept them and have an enjoyable evening together.
