Sociology and Anthropology: Culture, Social Institutions, Group Dynamics, Conflict Resolution and the Social Determinants of Health

A sociology and anthropology unit that traces the term to Auguste Comte, defines both disciplines and divides anthropology into its physical and cultural branches with archaeology, ethnography, ethnology and linguistics. The concepts of culture, role, values, norms, folkways and mores lead into group dynamics, the forming, storming, norming and performing stages of group formation, and the functions of a social group in health care. It closes on the sources and types of conflict in nursing, the resolution styles and negotiation process, and the social determinants of health.
