Interaction

This is a picture of a customer and a sails associate in the cosmetics department. Interaction talks about the power word of mouth and peer influence has in the market place. for example costumer service effects the market place so much, because a lot of merchandise that are sold is because of great customer service, since the sails associates have times and times again changed a customers mind and made them buy something completely different than what they wanted in the first place. This picture is a great example of how interaction effects the market place.

Cultural Capital

Cultural capital are non financial social assets that help us humans move up in social mobility. For example education is one of them. This is a picture of the books in my room, its showing how I believe education will make me more educated in society and would give me a good place in this world therefor education definitely would place me in a higher social class.

Cultural Hegemony and Consumerism

Consumerism talks about how we all have these insatiable beliefs that we think we need what we don't have. One example is the fact that in todays world, our self worth is determined by how we look like (being sexy and beautiful according to what society thinks beauty is). Just like the picture Ive posted of the before and after pictures of a model thats been airbrushed, She was beautiful before being air brushed and looking like a stick figure that is not really her. This can be a good example of consumerism. Some other examples can be the fact that we think shopping completes us or how we care so much about what brand we wear, for example people think burberry is such a big deal, but to be completely honest its nothing more than a name which has become big because society made it that way.

Culture

Culture isn't something you can see or feel, its a product of human inventions, it is socially constructed and its agreed by a large number of people within the same culture. The woman in this picture are my mom's friends and they are all Indian so their culture is Indian, they all celebrate their cultural holidays and speak the same languages.

Cohabitating

This is a picture of one of my cousins with her boyfriend. They've been living together for six years and aren't planning on getting married anytime soon. 8% of households are filled with couples that are romantically involved but aren't married. Living together without getting married is called cohabitating.

Polygyny

In some countries, the law and system of marriage allows men to have more than one wife. The system that allows men to have multiple wives is called polygyny. One of these countries is Saudi Arabia.

Instrumental Tasks

This is a picture of my kitchen sink. Washing the dishes is considered an Instrumental task because its part of the physical tasks that we need to do in order to maintain a family life. Instrumental tasks are what we call these physical tasks that are necessary.
