Reservation Policy in India is the process of reserving a specified amount of seats (maximum 50%) in government educational institutions, government positions, and so on for a specific class such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes, and so on. In India, the reservation policy has been in place for a long time. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, when the practise of 'untouchability,' the caste system, and the Varna system were prevalent in society. In ancient times, Hindu society was split into Varna, Jatis, or classes, with the Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Shudras descending in social hierarchy. Untouchables were a different class of people, or rather, no class of people. These untouchables were deemed unfit for society and were thus excluded from the social structure. They were forced to live outside of the hamlet and were denied social privileges. If their shadow was thrown on upper-class individuals in some sections of the nation, such

Disparities in people's health are referred to as health inequalities. The term is widely used to describe disparities in how people are treated and provided with opportunity to live healthy lives, both of which have a significant impact on their health. Health disparities may emerge as a result of differences in health status (life expectancy or underlying medical issues), healthcare accessibility and affordability, socioeconomic variables, and healthcare and utility system quality. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has launched the National Family Health Survey 2019-20, which aims to provide comprehensive, detailed, and exhaustive information on the current state of health, nutrition, population, and welfare in each state and union territory of India. It allows the government to keep track of state/UT development in many sectors and develop specific programmes to help them focus their efforts on areas that require immediate care and attention. The re

A proactive approach to organisational development is organisational learning. Sustained involvement in organisational change is critical in tumultuous and unpredictable times. Most organisations, despite their best efforts, face resistance to change and hence fail to achieve organisational change. Cognitive and psychological factors, social and power dynamics, and structural and procedural inertia are all linked to resistance to change. Organizational learning theories can be used to develop strategic interventions for dealing with resistance and achieving organisational change objectives. A learning organisation can employ a variety of learning methods to improve its response to environmental changes. Firms that improve and update their learning skills get a competitive advantage by being innovative and, more importantly, increasing their top and bottom line efficiency. Organizational learning is a continuous process that, as a result of collaborative efforts, leads to long-term chan

A role is a set of expectations that one assumes. The concept of 'role-taking' has gained traction in role analysis. Role-taking occurs when a person responds by mentally or imaginatively putting himself in the shoes of another person in order to control his own behaviour. They do it in order to better comprehend the cognitive and emotive components of the other person's perspective and relate to them. It allows for objectivity and reflection, but from the viewpoint of an outsider. This is done just to meet the expectations of others, not necessarily to meet their own. When it comes to "social interaction," which refers to when one initiates a behaviour and others react to it, sociologists invented the term "role-taking."  Role-playing is a natural part of the socialization process or the act of learning new social roles. The concept of role-taking is central to the social self' hypothesis. The child grows into a social person by performing and accep

What factors influence the formation of social groups? Why are there so many of them? What effect do they have on us? Are they usually helpful, or can they also be a hindrance? We'll strive to understand and identify social groups, as well as their position and impact on our lives, in this blog. I'll use examples from my personal life to make this blog more clear and approachable. The world, or society as we call it, is made up of many different groups. It all started with a diverse collection of folks who had little in common and didn't know much about each other. Humans, on the other hand, seek attention, recognition, and the urge to be understood. That's when communication became important. People learned how to build bonds with one another and engage with them. They recognised the importance of relationships and worked hard to establish a variety of them. As a result of this mash-up of communication, contact, connection, and linkage, society and social groups as we

Organizational culture refers to the underlying concepts, beliefs, values, and communication methods that define an organization's unique psychological and social environment. Organizational culture transformation occurs when a company begins the process of bringing its fundamental values and vision together in order to achieve its cultural goals. Expectations, experiences, philosophies, and values that influence member behavior are encapsulated in organizational culture. It shows up as a unique style, internal dynamics, and interpersonal relationships. Culture is defined as a set of universally accepted attitudes, beliefs, practices, and written and unwritten standards that have evolved over time. Other conceptions of culture have concentrated on employee behaviour and how company culture influences employee behaviour. According to this collection of ideas, organizational culture is a set of shared beliefs that shape how firms operate by defining appropriate behaviour in specific

Dove soaps were created by an American chemist named Vincent Lamberti and are the trademark goods of Dove, a personal care company based in the United Kingdom. Dove products are manufactured in the United States, South Africa, Turkey, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Australia, Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Germany, Japan, China, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Philippines, Ireland, and the Netherlands, all of which are owned by Unilever. Dove has become synonymous with soap bars— you can't separate the two. Dove was ahead of its time in the cleaning domain, despite their late start in soap development compared to other major beauty brands (the company was started in 1957). Dove swiftly carved out a niche in the soap market by developing a soap that hydrated rather than dried skin. Their high-quality and dependable goods earned them consumer trust. When looking over Dove's product selection, you'll notice that makeup and cosmetic supplements aren't included. This is because Do

The Social Psychology of Consumer Behavior brings together the most promising and conceptually fruitful research findings from internationally known experts whose work is at the forefront of study. Experts in both domains – social psychology and consumer behavior – present a comprehensive, up-to-date summary from a unique integrated approach. This blog serves two purposes. On the one hand, applying social psychology to consumer behavior is intended to extend social psychologists' horizons. Students and researchers of consumer behavior, on the other hand, will be given an advanced explanation of important theories suited to their own interests. While the range of topics is wide – including the interpretation of judgments and decisions, affective and cognitive feelings, social and media influences, and goals and self-regulation – each chapter focuses on one specific theoretical or methodological perspective, providing a comprehensive and in-depth account of the relevant issues and re
