Theories of Ethnocentrism: Social Dominance Theory and Social Identity Perspective Compare and Contrast critically evaluate in light of relevant research and theoretical reasoning A major focus of psychology is in understanding why group conflict, inequality and ethnocentrism occur. Many researchers have developed theories and presented evidence to try and explain these issues and two predominant approaches have emerged. The first approach focuses on the relatively stable personality differences

may be interpreted by the older audience as the power and control the rabbits have over the land, crops and the possums. Consequently, the image may be understood as the British taking over the Aboriginals during the Colonisation of Australia. A salient image of a painting captures the viewer’s attention due to its radiant colours compared to the bleak background. The foreground illustrates a painting being held up by two rabbits, labelled “1 and 2”. This reflects the complex idea of there being

Gottfredson and Hirsch’s self-control theory revolves around one’s inclination to commit a crime or refrain from committing a crime based on low or high self-controls. It is a general crime theory that explains all crime at all periods in time. The principal factor is self- control. In this theory, a person with low self-control is much more likely to commit a crime then a person with high self-control. For Gottfredson and Hirsch’s definition of crime, they state that a crime is an act undertaken

The reason, according to political scientists, is that it was a very salient case. Salience in a case refers to the importance of a case to the public. Cases that make their way to the Supreme Court are special in that they tend to ask difficult or novel legal questions, set precedent for the Court or will resolve conflicts across circuits—sometimes a single case can do all three (Clark, Lax and Rice 2015). Cases that are salient typically garner a lot of interest from the public because the implications

The Siege of Petersburg occurred from June 15-18 1864. However, it was actually a series of battles fought around Petersburg from 9 June 1864 to March 25, 1865. This was to be a evolving era for the military, society and how the two would affect each other. During this era, new tactics and strategies would be tried, changed and adopted throughout future wars while others would fail miserably. Your position in society would usually dictate your position on the battlefield. Even though your position

gained territory as crossing ‘No Man’s Land’ was extremely difficult. Soldiers mainly had to stay in the safety of their trenches. The troops on both sides mainly had a hatred for one another. Except in one instance, which was in Ypres Salient, in France. In Ypres Salient, on one Christmas Day, there was a temporary armistice. The men had called for a truce for only a couple hours and both forces met in No Man’s Land. They played football and did other things for only a few hours before returning back

warfare though. Like the words on the propaganda posters, he was eager on "becoming a man." In the first week of April, we were ordered to move sectors. We moved from our quiet sector, near Fluerbaix, on the French-Belgian border to the Ypres Salient. The Ypres Salient was a bulge in the allied line on the Flanders plain,

The article Sights unseen, written by Siri Carpenter, explores the phenomena of inattentional blindness. A common example which demonstrates this occurrence is when people are paying attention while driving, yet still manage to strike salient objects such as deer and other large animals. Despite common belief, if we do not pay careful attention, we may not see most of the obstacles in our path. Change blindness limits the brain’s ability to process visual information when the eyes are moving or vision

Later on, the fourth dimension of identity called the salient was developed. Centrality and salient dimension address the importance of the race of an individual according to his or her own perspective. Centrality dimension entails the way individuals normatively define themselves in relation to their race. It determines whether an individual values their race or not. Salient on the other hand, involves the degree in which the individual’s race is the relevant part

In 1997, Labour were very much in touch with the electorate and focused on salient issues, whereas the conservatives focused on issues such as trade unions and devolution which were not deemed as salient. This benefitted Labour as they gained a huge win at this election and rather than personality playing a huge part, it may have been their policies. Another contributing factor at this
