50 Days to Save the Planet My Sociological Footprint
[4. The Essence of the Materialist Conception of History.Social Being and Social Consciousness]The fact is, therefore, that definite individuals who are productively active in a definite way enter into these definite social and political relations. Empirical observation must in each separate instance bring out empirically, and without any mystification and speculation, the connection of the social and political structure with production. The social structure and the State are continually evolving out of the life-process of definite individuals, but of individuals, not as they may appear in their own or other people’s imagination, but as they really are; i.e. as they operate, produce materially, and hence as they work under definite material limits, presuppositions and conditions independent of their will.Karl Marx. The German Ideology. 1845

Strategy – interpretive interaction
“Although thought maybe seen by some as subjective, it is the actions one takes by using ones own definition of the situation and the social relationships between the interactions of the participants and how others respond to the actions taken, which create socially real consequences...”

50 Days to Save the Planet My Sociological Footprint
My new framework to conduct my social research on informal organisations will look something like this... ethnography – social construction of culture
➔ Interpretive (Interpretive Interaction) → Plan 'the definition of the situation' → Ethnomethodology → looking at cultural means
➔ Social-political (Ethico-political) → Patterns of Behaviour 'this is how it's done round here' 'the politics of everyday life'
➔ Teamwork → Rational Organisation 'We want this person to this that way, and that person to do that this way and so on' → Division of Labour → Division of effort
➔ Ergonomics → 'we want you to do this with these in this way to protect our health and safety' ...
➔ Using means as such as people's bodies (health) and physical means such as fork-lift trucks (safety) according to cultural norms laws etc

50 Days to Save the PlanetSociety & Relationships
Society = the sum total of or an ensemble of social relationships...How do you define 'social' relationships?A 'relationship' is a quality which can be stated only of two or more entities together where each refers to the other, not of some single thing. 'Social' relationships are where some entity recognized as being 'social' that is people, organisations or societies, are constantly in interaction with each other at some level or another
Relationships may be physical, biological, social or cultural.Example Physical: Cup and Saucer... Biological: Bird and an egg... Social: Husband and Wife... or Home and Work... Cultural: A noun and a verb

50 Days to Save the PlanetRelationships
Relationships
Activities carried on in relationships
A relationship is an interaction between two people... a husband and a wife is a home relationship … a boss and a worker is a work relationship an interrelationship strictly speaking is a relationship between two relationships
A relationship between two relationships:...eg relationships in the home between husband and wife and relationships at work between a boss and a worker
Interrelationships are therefore relationships between relationships... a woman as a worker at work and the woman as a wife at home
By extension intra-relationships is an activity carried on within a relationship for example the wife having sex with the husband but not with her boss that would be extra-relationships...

50 Days to Save the PlanetCase Study
Case Study ~War ~ Armed Forces ~ Disability ~ Effects on culture
Research Practice - 13th October 2012● Outcome of mornings work
Case Study ~War ~ Armed Forces ~ Disability ~ Effects on cultureSocial History of Paralympics in relation to the first world war, compared with war injuries to limbs produced by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Socio-political – Corporate War
Globalisation: Compare Advanced Nations with Developing Nation ~ Advantages in technological advances give disabled service personnel in the Western World in comparison with those with limb injures sustain by people in Africa etc from land mines and wars in their countries etc
ATOS ~ Arms length governmental departments – cost control and work in practice
Clive Burgess ©Oct 2012
Research Practice - 13th October 2012Ergonomics – technical advances in medical science
Cultural impact – changing culture ~ the way we read, write, etc
Biological injuries ~ different types and severity
Physical use of the means ~ advances in bio-mechanics & equipment
Social environment – Sustainable Development model
Teamwork ~ Acceptance in Society ~ 'One' supported by many , working together to support disabled personnel ~Armed Forces personnel, Medical technicians, Bio-Mechanical technicians, Planners & Designers, Social workers, Doctors, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Researchers, Counsellors, Support workers, Housing officers,Families, volunteers.
Media research ~ Network Multimedia ~ Use of documentaries on TV, stuff on radio, newspapers, journals, blogs, social networks
Use value~ could this model be used: How would it advance 'adaptability' for technological equipment & culture in relation to 'climate change' and how others see 'climate change'?
