How is it going? Well, let's just say that the trend of events have not disappointed me. I always tend to work for those female individuals who have "perceptions" rather than taking the time to get to know my intentions. Well, low and behold it has happened.
I reflect and think what I am doing. Yes I have a strong personality. What can I change? The only things I can change are the behaviors. So, I decided to look this up and see what defines "behaviors" that I can change. This is what I found.
This is what Wikipedia stated, "Humans evaluate the acceptability of behavior using social norms and regulate behavior by means of social control. In sociology, behavior is considered as having no meaning, being not directed at other people and thus is the most basic human action."
I decided to search further and see what social norms were. Wikipedia states, "Social norms are the behaviors and cues within a society or group. This sociological term has been defined as "the rules that a group uses for appropriate and inappropriate values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. These rules may be explicit or implicit. Failure to follow the rules can result in severe punishments, including exclusion from the group."
So, where does that leave me? I am working in a group that does not find my human behaviors acceptable to the social norms and would like to regulate that behavior. This does not apply to the organization; however, applies to the immediate constructs of the bureaucratic arena I report to.
Do I think I will be there and make it to year 2? Not sure if I will stay in that arena or move on to another pasture. Life goes on and we live with these "social norms" or a group. It is our choice to adapt or modify these social norms for ourselves.
