mergefrom Laughter in literature date December 2010 There are many theories of humour which attempt to explain what humour is, what social function it serves, and what would be considered humorous. It would be very difficult to explain humor to a hypothetical person who did not have a sense of humour already. In fact, to such a person humor would appear to be quite strange if not outright irrational behavior. Among the prevailing types of theories that attempt to account for the existence of humour there are psychology psychological theories, the vast majority of which consider humour to be very healthy behavior there are Spiritualism beliefs spiritual theories which may, for instance consider humor to be a gift from God there are also theories that consider humour to be an unexplainable mystery, very much like a mysticism mystical experience . ref Raymond Smullyan , The Planet Without Laughter , This Book Needs No Title ref Sense of humor, sense of seriousness One must have a sense of humor and a sense of seriousness to distinguish what is supposed to be taken literally or not.

Aether theories in early modern physics proposed the existence of a medium, the aether also spelled ether , from the Greek word Polytonic , meaning upper air or pure, fresh air ref name aetherDict , a space filling substance or field, thought to be necessary as a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The assorted aether theories embody the various conceptions of this Medium optics medium and Substance theory substance . This early modern aether has little in common with the Aether classical element aether of classical elements from which the name was borrowed. Theories Although hypotheses of the aether vary somewhat in detail they all have certain characteristics in common. In 19th century theories, aether is considered to be a physical medium occupying every point in space, including within material bodies. A second essential feature is that aether s properties give rise to the electric and magnetic phenomena and determines the propagation velocity of their effects. Therefore the speed of light and all other propagating effects are determined by the physical properties of the aether at the relevant location, analogous to the way that gaseous, liquid and solid media affect the propagation of sound waves. The aether is considered the overall reference frame for the universe and thus velocities are all absolute relative to its rest frame.

multiple issues orphan May 2008 Theories on the causes of poverty are the foundation upon which poverty reduction strategies are based. While in developed nations poverty is often seen as either a personal or a structural defect, in developing nations the issue of poverty is more profound due to the lack of governmental funds. Some theories on poverty in the developing world focus on cultural characteristics as a retardant of further development. Other theories focus on social and political aspects that perpetuate poverty perceptions of the poor has a significant impact on the design and execution of programs to alleviate poverty. Causes of poverty in the United States Poverty as a personal failing When it comes to poverty in the United States , there are two main lines of thought. The most common line of thought within the U.S. is that a person is poor because of personal traits. ref name rank full harvnb Rank Yoon Herschl 2003 pp full 3 29 . ref These traits in turn have caused the person to fail. Supposed traits range from personality characteristics, such as laziness, to educational levels. Despite this range, it is always viewed as the individual s personal failure not to climb out of poverty. This thought pattern stems from the idea of meritocracy and its entrenchment within U.S. thought. Meritocracy, according to Katherine S. Newman is the view that those who are worthy are rewarded and those who fail to reap rewards must also lack self worth. ref harvnb Newman 1999 p 16 . ref This does not mean that all followers of meritocracy believe that a person in poverty deserves their low standard of living.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 In sociology , legal behavior refers to variations in the methods and degree of governmental social control of behavior . Background In 1976, theoretical sociologist Donald Black introduced a general sociological theory of law in his book The Behavior of Law. The theory exemplified Black s sociological paradigm known as pure sociology . A central aspect of this paradigm was the reconceptualization of human behavior as the behavior of social life. Thus, the behavior of many individuals may be understood and more readily explained as a single phenomenon. One form of social life is law, defined by Black as governmental social control. Social control is any process of defining and responding to deviant behavior deviance . Any increase of governmental social control be it a call to the police, an arrest, a prosecution, or a conviction is thus an increase of law. The word behavior is used here as it is used in the physical sciences to refer to variation. In this sense, everything behaves, including particles, storm systems, and law. Black s theory predicts and explains variations in legal behavior, such as why one assault results in a call to the police while another does not, or why one homicide conviction results in capital punishment while another does not.
