“…Our speculation was reinforced in part by our review of sociology theory books published from 2000-2011. Of the 18 books we could find with a contemporary theory focus or component, two covered sociobiology or evolutionary psychology (Johnson 2008;Turner 2006), while 16 did not (Adams and Sydie 2002;Allan 2006;Andersen and Kaspersen 2000;Applerouth 2010;Baert and de Silva 2010;Calhoun 2002;Delanty 2006;Applerouth and Desfor Edles 2007;Elliott 2009;Flecha, Puivert, and Gomez 2003;Harrington 2005;Mann 2007;Reed 2006;Ritzer 2007Ritzer , 2009and Ritzer and Smart 2001). In other words, we found that most students will not encounter sociobiology in their standard theory textbooks.…”

“…A socioecological model recognizes the inextricable relationships that exist between people and various levels of the environment (Bronfenbrenner, 1994). Factors impacting teachers in the classroom, as well as actions they take from within, can be viewed and examined on three socioecological levels: (a) micro, (b) meso, and (c) macro (Johnson, 2008). The micro level comprises factors that directly impact teachers’ day-to-day work in schools.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine elementary music teachers’ perceptions of factors impacting their music programs and teaching positions as well as the actions these teachers take in response to those factors. The following research questions guided the study: (1) What factors are perceived to impact music programs and teaching positions? (2) What is the nature of these factors? (3) How and within what socioecological levels do teachers act on behalf of their programs or positions? (4) To what degree are specific actions, people, and/or groups thought effective in impacting music programs? U.S. music teachers ( N = 432) responded to a survey designed to answer these questions. A socioecological framework was used in the design of the survey and analysis of the data. Results suggest that teachers perceive micro-level factors (school) to have a substantial impact on their programs. Teachers’ actions were mostly focused on the micro level although many teachers considered meso-level (school district) engagement to be vital for maintaining or improving music programs in a given school district. Besides music-specific policies, macro-level issues (state and national) were not viewed as impacting programs in substantive ways. The further removed a factor from the micro level, the less impact was felt and the fewer actions were taken.

“…Societies are considered as a system which are integrated from related parts (Asong, 1996). Functional structural approach states that social group created from sub-parts from which the each sub-part has its own function, therefore the changes between one sub and the others will influence each other (Johnson, 1986;Abmurd and Beilharz, 2003;Narwoko et.al., 2004). Based on the assumption of those structural functional theories, gender concept in Buginese family is different from gender concept in Western or gender concept in feminism, that is equality and equal partnership (Ambrois, 1992).…”

This research is done in Makassar, in order to explain comprehension and interpretation of gender and implementation of the 5 Buginese man and wife as informants based on life-guidance, social relation, patriarchy perception, social behavior, and woman's double role. This research uses qualitative method with case study and phenomenological. The informant's is determined purposively, they are the 5 Buginese man and wife with double role case, whether those who are civil servants, entrepreneur, politician, or home industry actors. This research's result shows that 5 cases of Buginese man and wife informants understand and interpret gender as agreement and conformity of man's and woman's function in taking the role based on cultural and religious value, which are siri', pangaderreng, sipakatau, sipakalebbi, and teppe', as included in life-guidance because those values become binding frame of man and wife in gender implementation. Gender equality implication with women's double role in 5 Buginese man and wife as informants case are realized in the financial development, spiritual gift, motivation and achievement of themselves and family, because Buginese citizens on that case do not prohibit their wives to work and the religion is allowing wives to have 2 roles, but they need to keep siri' , self esteem and also the agreement from the husband. Spending time at home with husband in the evening is less in quantity, but it is not in quality.
