INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT CREDIT HOURS : 3 CREDIT SEMESTER/SESSION : 4th SEMESTER, 2022/2023 SESSION TOPIC : INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION CHAPTER 1 – INDIVIDUALS AND GROUP IN SOCIETY ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Explain how the relationship between individuals and individuals Social relations can occur between individuals and individuals. Individuals themselves in sociology are interpreted as the smallest unit of society. The individual referred to in this case is a human being, which is a creature created by God Almighty in which there is the ability to think, have desires and act as a social being. In other sources, it is stated that individuals are creatures in which there are feelings, bodies, ratios and also harmony. In everyday life we can find humans who interact or have social relationships with other humans. To be said as a social relationship, the condition for its occurrence is the existence of social contact and communication either directly or through intermediaries. Examples of social relationships that exist between individuals and individuals are as follows: 1) A mother who chats with a vegetable seller when bidding on her merchandise (occurs directly and without intermediaries). 2) A father who talks to relatives outside the island via telephone (social relations that occur through intermediaries). 2. Explain how the relationship between groups and groups Around us it is very easy to find social relations, whether carried out by individuals with individuals or individuals with groups or groups with groups. Social relations themselves occur because of the tendency of fellow humans who need each other in their lives. According to an expert named Soerjono Soekanto, there are two conditions for it to be called a social relationship in which there is social interaction, namely: • SOCIAL CONTACT • COMMUNICATION Both social contact and communication can occur directly without intermediaries or occur through intermediary mediums such as telephone, video calls, letters and so on. Social contact that occurs both directly and indirectly can lead to two things, namely: • ASSOCIATIVE, if it leads to integration. • DISASSOCIATIVE, if it leads to disintegration. There are many examples of social relationships around us including those involving groups. For example, a teacher who is teaching students in class, where these students are a group of students. 3. How to have a good social relationship with society Social relations are essentially relationships between people in which there is social interaction so that there is reciprocity and mutual influence on each other. Social relations are carried out by humans with the aim of fulfilling their life needs. This social relationship occurs if two conditions are met, namely social contact and communication. Both can occur directly but also through intermediaries. Social relations can involve individuals with individuals, individuals with groups or groups with groups. This social relationship itself can lead to two patterns of relationships, namely: • ASSOCIATIVE, if the social relationship leads to integration or unity. • DISASSOCIATIVE, if the social relationship leads to disintegration or division. In order for the social relations established in society to run well and be mutually beneficial, we individuals and groups must develop a number of certain attitudes such as: • Tolerance, which means mutual respect and appreciation despite obvious differences in background. • Speak politely, friendly, courteous and easy to understand in order to give a good response and be able to convey the aims and objectives correctly. • Putting common interests ahead of personal interests. Putting obligations ahead of rights. • Honest, trustworthy, responsible, open and others. • Not doing actions that deviate and can disappoint other parties. 4. Explain why social relations can encourage innovation Social relations are relationships between people that involve interaction, mutual influence and reciprocity. This social relationship can occur if there is contact and communication in it. Social relations are carried out by humans as a way to fulfill their needs. Good social relations certainly lead to positive things, one of which is innovation that makes people's lives better and of higher quality. In social relations, social change can occur. Social change itself is interpreted as a change that arises in social institutions which then has a real influence on the social system which includes values, attitudes, behavior patterns, habits and so on. The innovation where the traditional rice planting tool turns into a modern one is one example of social change. Some social changes in society have a positive impact and some have a negative impact. In my opinion, the innovation referred to in the question includes social changes that have a positive impact on human life because the modernization of rice planting tools will make the need for rice as a staple food available in more effective and efficient ways. The conclusion regarding social relations can encourage innovation is AGREED because social relations that lead to association will indeed have many good impacts on human life. Furthermore, the innovation in question is included in social change in agriculture that makes a positive contribution to the fulfillment of people's basic needs. 5. What to do to avoid negative culture in society Social relations are relationships between people that involve interaction, mutual influence and reciprocity. This social relationship can occur if there is contact and communication in it. Social relations are carried out by humans as a way to fulfill their needs. Social relationships can lead to positive things (association) or negative things (disassociation). Therefore, it is important for us to develop certain attitudes so that our daily associations always lead to positive things. What we must do in order to avoid bad associations that will only have a negative impact on us is to be SELECTIVE by actively filtering the values around us. If the value is bad and CONVERTING then we will consciously stay away from it. Conversely, if the value that comes to us is good and positive then we should ideally be open and welcoming in order to get a good impact. By being selective and basing all actions on the prevailing norms, we will avoid bad associations, deviant and harmful behavior including the crime of drug abuse and brawls. The conclusion is that what we must do in order to avoid negative associations is to be SELECTIVE and base all actions on applicable norms. This selective attitude means actively filtering all the values that come to us in our daily associations, namely by approaching positive values and staying away from negative values. 6. Explain what is the definition of social relations Social relationships are defined as relationships in which there are interactions between individuals, individuals and groups or between groups. This interaction is dynamic in nature where there is a reciprocal relationship because they influence each other. To be considered a social interaction, it must fulfill the following characteristics: 1) Performed by at least two people where there is action and reaction in it. 2) There is communication and also social contact. 3) The nature is positive, reciprocal and also sustainable or continuous. 4) There are adjustments to norms and also to forms of social interaction. 5) The pattern that is established is based on a need, efficiency, effectiveness and also adaptation to the truth. Social interaction which then leads to SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP can lead to two things, namely: • Association, if there is integration or unity. The form can be cooperation, accommodation, assimilation or acculturation. • Disassociation, if disintegration or division occurs. It can take various forms such as competition, division, hostility, conflict and so on. 7. Mention the factors that inhibit social relations. What is meant by SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP is a relationship that exists between individuals, individuals with groups or between groups in which there are social interactions that involve reciprocal relationships, action reactions, mutual influence and so on. Interaction in this social relationship will only be realized if two things are fulfilled, namely: • Social contact • Communication This social contact and communication can be established directly without intermediaries or established through certain mediums such as letters, telephones, internetbased social media and so on. In establishing social relations, there are a number of inhibiting factors and supporting factors. The factors that inhibit this social relationship include the following: • Fear of unsteadiness • The existence of ideological barriers • The existence of barrier factors from customs or habits • The existence of competitionThe existence of conflict • The existence of suspicion or stereotypes • The existence of apathy or ignorance • The existence of attitudes that tend to be anti-socialThe existence of individualism • The existence of ethnocentrism 8. List the factors that drive social interaction What is meant by SOCIAL INTERACTION is a relationship that involves social contact and communication between individuals in which there is a reciprocal relationship and mutual influence on each other. This social interaction is one of the absolute conditions for social relations to occur either between individuals, between individuals and groups or between groups. If there is no process of mutual influence between two or more people, it cannot be called social interaction. According to experts, there are two things that indicate the existence of social interaction, namely: • Social contact • Communication Both social contact and communication can take place face-to-face between the actors and can also take place with the help of intermediaries such as correspondence, telephone, internet-based social media and many others. There are a number of factors driving this social interaction or social relationship, including the following: 1) Imitation 2) Suggestion 3) Sympathy 4) Empathy 5) Identification 6) Motivation 7) Emotional Condition 8) Role of the Environment 9) Majority of the Population 9. Mention the external and internal factors that drive social interaction. As we know that what is meant by SOCIAL INTERACTION is a relationship involving individuals with individuals or groups where there is a mutual influence and reciprocal relationship between the actors. Social interaction itself occurs due to social contact and communication that can occur directly or through intermediaries. The occurrence of social interaction is influenced by two factors, namely INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL. The factors driving social interaction INTERNALLY are as follows: 1) To preserve offspring 2) To fulfill the needs of life 3) To maintain life 4) To be able to communicate with the same human being Meanwhile, EXTERNAL factors are as follows: 1) Sympathy 2) Motivation 3) Empathy 4) Suggestion 5) Imitation 6) Identity 7) And so on. Social interaction between human beings generally aims to establish friendship, cooperation, business relationships, to discuss problems and many others. In everyday life, it is very easy for us to find examples of social interaction because this is indeed the daily life of each of us. For example, a teacher who is teaching in class, or a younger sibling chatting with an older sibling or community service activities in the neighborhood, all of which include social interaction. 10. Explain the meaning of the individual as the smallest unit of society in sociology. Sociology is one of the branches of social science whose object of study is society as well as the social interactions they carry out and their influence on human life. Society itself can be interpreted as a group of people who are bound in certain relationships or systems such as traditions, conventions, laws and others that direct them to live collectively. Humans themselves are another term for individuals, so it is clear that the smallest unit of society is the individual. INDIVIDUALS are mentioned as the smallest unit of society not without reason but because individuals are indeed units that can no longer be separated into smaller forms. For example, in a family there are father, mother, grandmother, grandfather, brother and sister. Father, mother, grandfather and so on are individuals that can no longer be separated into smaller units. The word INDIVIDUAL is often found in sociology. Individuals are rooted in Latin, namely INDIVIDUAL, which means NOT DIVIDED. The individual means a human being who can no longer be divided because it has become a limited unit as an individual. In the context of sociology itself, this individual is also interpreted as a human being who is able to live independently.
