proponent/theorist of social action theory is German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920)‚ who‚ along with Durkheim and Marx‚ is considered one of the fathers of sociology. To Weber‚ a social action was an action carried out by an individual to which a person attached a meaning‚ an action that takes into account the existence and possible reaction of others. In other words‚ if you do not think about an action‚ it is not a social action. So an accidental car accident or a sneeze are NOT social actions. Also‚ if an

POTENTIAL Resting potential is the membrane potential when a neuron is not conducting any electrical impulse or signal. The resting potential is around -75 mV. During resting potential‚ the inside of the axon is negative GRADED POTENTIAL ACTION POTENTIAL Action potential is a fleeting reversal of the membrane potential‚ caused by changes in permeability of the plasma membrane of neuron to potassium and sodium ions causing an electrical impulse to be transmitted along the axon. When a stimulus

What is an action potential? To put it simply‚ it is a message that is sent down the nervous line. The message is written and is sent from the central nervous system. That message is addressed to muscles or glands. This essay will explain what happens before‚ during‚ and after an interneuron action potential. To accurately define an action potential‚ it is part of the incredible course of events that occur during the firing of a neuron. When a neuron is not firing signals‚ the interior of the

We have had a physicist in history -- I believe it was Sir Isaac Newton -- he said for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Is that true in your culture?

The term “Affirmative Action” was used to describe the action of helping ethnic minorities who suffer from discrimination receive the same job and education benefits that majorities did. The idea of affirmative action was to get rid of the barrier between minorities and majorities and to allow equality throughout the country. This policy actively puts in effort to boost the possibilities for different excluded ethnicities in the United States. Due to America’s past of slavery‚ African Americans were

The chosen social action was to set awareness for E4WSA (Essentials for Women South Australia) which is a non-profit organisation that aids for homeless women who don’t have access everyday hygienic products. I was in a 6-member group and our main goal was to promote the organisation and hopefully get a few donations of feminie hygienic products such as tampons‚ pads and clean underwear from the public to give to the organisation. At the start of the social action‚ as a group we sat down and 3

Abstract This article is investing the effects of speed of the action potential across many neurons through investigating two diseases and performing related lab simulations. Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy are the two disease which are investigated and through the use of Neurons in Action lab simulations‚ we saw the effects that demyelination and channelopathy can have. As my hypothesis guessed‚ demyelination is the main cause of multiple sclerosis and channelopathy is the main cause of epilepsy
